CHAPTER 293
"Alright, I'll go talk to HR right away and make sure these issues are sorted out as soon as possible. What about Lucas?"Since David has been asked to step down temporarily, likely that Lucas won't be coming in either."Let Lucas take the position; he won't make much of an impact anyway. But I have a special request." Miss Hutton was puzzled. Wasn't the whole issue caused by Lucas's arrival, which made him upset? Why was David facing the bigger consequences while Lucas seemed to be getting off scot-free?"Go ahead, boss.""From now on, any decisions or actions taken by Lucas in the company will require an additional layer of review, and you will be directly responsible for that. It's like putting an extra lock on him; you understand what I mean?"Thomas wouldn't forget about Lucas either. No matter what that kid was planning, Lucas always had his back. If they thought they could pull off any tricks using him, Thomas wouldn't let them get away with it easily."Got it, boss. You can co
CHAPTER 294
Thomas made a quick trip to the hospital and then changed into a fresh outfit in the car. Today marked his first day back in the office in a serious role, and he felt a mature image suited him best.After stepping out of the driver's seat, he looked at the car, which was the same one hisfamily owned. As he glanced toward the entrance, he began to regret not having taken a different vehicle, especially since Miss Hutton was leading a group of people.A welcoming line stretched from the frontdoor all the way to the reception deskinside. The leadership team had gathered, with about 50 to 60 people present. This kind of display felt overly extravagant and formal for Thomas. As soon as he stepped onto the red carpet, dozens of voices rang out in unison."Good morning, boss! Welcome back to work!"The chorus was quite impressive but also abit jarring to his ears."There's no need for all this. Just get back to work and do what you need to do," Thomas said, waving at Miss Hutton."Why ar
CHAPTER 295
Thomas had just finished his rounds at the company during the day, carrying the weight of being the boss of such a large corporation. By night, he found himself parking his modest $10,000 car in a hospital parking lot that cost over a million. The stark contrast between these two worlds felt completely natural to him. When he faced Ava, Thomas had expertly masked his emotions. "You really timed your arrival perfectly today," Ava remarked, glancing at the crowded parking lot. "It looks like all the other cars are packed in tight, but you seem to have it easy." Ava had just walked over, and it was well-known that parking at the hospital was a nightmare. But for Thomas, this kind of situation had never been a problem. "Thanks to my student," he replied with a slight smile. "He bought the parking spot." Only at this hospital could they sell parking spaces like that. The limited availability made it a rare find, but Ava chose to keep her thoughts to herself about the hospital's decisio
CHAPTER 296
"You came to see me today, standing right in front of them. It can't just be out of curiosity; even that pales in comparison to the benefits that drive your actions," Thomas said, his tone sharp. Lucas paused for a moment, considering his words. He was right; the negotiations with David had reached a dead end. It would be more straightforward to confront Thomas directly. "You're clever, but you don't think things through as he does. Sooner or later, you're going to regret it," Thomas added, a hint of amusement in his voice. It was laughable that this woman thought she could lecture him like an elder. "I have my own judgment, and I don't need you to worry about me," Lucas replied, shaking her head gently. How could she get through to him? She was starting to feel a bit tired. But David had insisted that this was part of her job-an additional condition of the deal to awaken Thomas' competitive spirit regarding the company's success. This was a disadvantage for Lucas, but she refused
CHAPTER 297
The last time his daughter got sick and had to be hospitalized, Thomas had made it clear that he was determined to take care of her. But now, as he reflected on it, Jack realized that Thomas sudden revelation about his family's The situation felt a bit too abrupt. With these doubts swirling in his mind, Jack found himself questioning how well he really knew Thomas. He was worried that Thomas might be lying to him, but, more importantly, he couldn't let his daughter be misled. He pulled out Lucas's business card. Lucas had specifically mentioned that they could stay in touch after his visit. At first, Jack didn't think there was a need for contact, but now he felt that perhaps Lucas could provide the best explanation for all his uncertainties. He took out his phone and dialed the number on the card. "Hello, who is this?" The voice on the other end sounded a bit younger than he expected, which didn't quite match the life he had imagined for Thomas. Jack double-checked his phone t
CHAPTER 298
Lucas had had enough of Lucas's antics. He could tolerate his indifference and acknowledge his busyness, but he couldn't accept his deceit.Moreover, his tolerance for deception was quite high; as long as it wasn't explicitly stated, he could easily turn a blind eye to everything else. But now, things were different. He had finally hit a nerve. The secretary drove through the increasingly remote area where the villa was located, feeling frustrated. She still had work to finish, and today was wasted on this pointless round trip.Glancing in the rearview mirror, she noticed a black sports car speeding toward her. The flashy and unusual vehicle was all too familiar.What was this troublemaker up to now? ItIt was clear he had rushed out in a hurry. Seeing him revving the engine, she instinctively felt a chill and pulled over to the side of the road. The black sports car smoothly pulled into a parking spot in front of her.As she opened the car door, she unconsciously swallowed hard, feel
CHAPTER 299
"I don't think we need to wait for any specific day; let's just do it today. What's the matter so early in the morning?"As soon as Thomas entered the office, he heard some commotion nearby and caught the tail end of a conversation. Kiara cursed her luck silently, but she was no stranger to tough situations. She quickly adjusted her expression, stepped back a few paces, and gathered the documents on her desk."Boss, there are a few tricky points regarding the Meyer family lawsuit that I need to report to you."Thomas appreciated her straightforwardness; it allowed them to get right to business. He nodded and walked toward the adjacent office. Once he was out of sight, she turned back and mouthed to Miss Hutton, "This is unbelievable!"Entering Thomas office for the first time, Miss Hutton could tell it had been recently renovated. She had to admit, when it came to office aesthetics, Miss Hutton was a pro-an efficient and capable secretary."Have a seat and get straight to the point,"
CHAPTER 300
After work, Thomas drove his car towards the bustling main street. Ava had mentioned last night that she wanted to try some snacks from a particular place, which was conveniently on the way to the office. If they had come from her house, they would have had to cross most of the city, but this route made it much easier.Even during working hours, there was still a line outside the pastry shop. However, Thomas sat in his car, not focused on the bakery, but rather on the glass window nearby.The sight of Jack sitting together with Lucas was both shocking and unbelievable. How could they possibly meet?Jack also found the encounter surprising. Lucas was punctual and kept his word, behaving in a very composed manner."It's a bit strange to have called you out like this today, but I wanted to learn more about Thomas," Jack said, his intentions clear. Lucas had known this from the start; it was a deliberate show in front of his family."Perhaps we both have some misconceptions about Thomas.
CHAPTER 301
Thomas and Jack arrived at the hospital, but they didn't bring up the topic right away, and it seemed unlikely they would. Although there was some awkwardness later, they managed to keep things relatively normal. As soon as they got to the hospital, they had a lot to take care of, so they didn't have time to dwell on anything else.Thomas had been to the office every day, and he had almost forgotten about the situation.Ava saw Thomas and Jack coming in and felt a bit uneasy. She wondered what good news could come from a hospital visit."The doctor just came by and said Mom's tumor is benign," she said. The news was a relief; the tumor was small and not spreading, so both men nodded in acknowledgment."Then she shouldn't be causing any more trouble, right?" Jack said, feeling a bit lighter now that the news was good. Jack had been the one taking care of Thomas, always mindful of his feelings.Now that they had positive news, he didn't need to be as cautious."The surgery is scheduled
CHAPTER 302
"Alright, thank you."Thomas gave a light tap on the photo beside him before leading his son toward the car.Once inside, the little girl looked a bit anxious, worried that they might not be able to get in. Thomas gently patted his small shoulder, signaling him to relax."Don't worry, buddy. I'm just going to contact someone. Once he gets in touch with us, we'll be able to enter the school right away." Thomas dialed David’s number."Hey, Uncle David’s, I need a favor. I'm trying to get into School, and I was hoping you could give them a heads-up for me." David was surprised that Thomas was reaching out to him; he thought they had left things on a sour note last time. But when he heard about KylinSchool, it clicked. Thomas was paving the way for the young master, and that made him happy."Don't worry, young master. I'll contact them right away and get back to you within half an hour."After hanging up, Thomas waited quietly. Soon, he noticed a few people appearing at the school gate.
