Thomas didn't care about any of that. He had no idea that Lucas was already aware of the situation; he only felt that they were trying to force him to lay everything out on the table during this dinner. He had been curious about why David had left abruptly. Was it possiblethat these two had conspired behind his back to set him up?"That's the first time I've heard that. You're not actually falling for Thomas's tricks, are you? He's quite a well-known figure; everyone in our family knows who he is."The words dripped with sarcasm, and there was no hiding it."Is that so? Too bad none of that came from him. It's what I discovered on my own. Maybe he didn't share it with you." Compared to the other's biting remarks, Lucas remained remarkably calm. The petty tactics of this family were nothing he couldn't see through."If they were really wealthy, they wouldn't be in such a mess. They can't even afford to pay for their own child's hospital stay." Lucas nodded slightly.She had been pond

"I'm not joking about this. Just casually assigning the identity of that mysterious person to him isn't responsible, so I want to talk to you about what happened before." Since her grandfather's incident, Uriel had been closely observing Thomas. The more she watched, the more she felt that he was incredibly mysterious; many things didn't add up with his supposed status. Ava looked at her serious expression, unable to even find the words to refuse. "Do you remember Grandpa's birthday party? I specifically went back to check on the gifts he gave. If what he said is true, they're worth as much as a whole villa." This timeline stretched back quite a bit. However, Thomas' actions at the birthday party were indeed quite intriguing. "He claimed he just got lucky and found them at a bargain on Taobao." Uriel shook her head. You couldn't just investigate matters so casually. "I noted down the style of the items and had my antique dealer friend look into it. He did find that a certain ant

The situation unfolded suddenly, and two people hurriedly followed the man. Downstairs, a car was already waiting. The couple slid into the back seat while the lover took the passenger seat. This wasn't the first time their son had gone missing, and each incident drove them to the brink of madness. They had no time to dwell on previous matters. As they drove away, Thomas began to feel that something was off. "How did my daughter go missing?" he asked, his voice steady but laced with concern. "During class today, there was an extracurricular activity. When afternoon classes started, he was nowhere to be found. The teachers searched the school inside and out, but couldn't find him, so they rushed to inform you," came the reply. Even the man himself found this explanation somewhat lacking. "So you came here, but how did you know my home address?" Thomas pressed. In the past, he hadn't needed to provide much personal information; his reputation was enough. Now, however, this person wa

"Thanks a lot. Since you guys don't know the way, I'll figure it out myself. Let's go." He waved to the people beside him, but as he walked in that direction, he deliberately veered a few steps off course. Finally, he saw what was on the ground-bloodstains. He continued walking steadily toward the car, but his hand was pressing the remote control. Robison thought he could finally relax, believing it was just a false alarm. But the next second, he saw all the car doors swing open at once, and black-clad figures poured out, each holding something in their hands. Realizing something was wrong, he tried to react, but Lawrence and his men were already rushing toward him. "What the hell is going on?!" Before they could respond, some of them didn't even have time to get up from their chairs before they saw metal rods looming behind them. "Tell me where our boss is, damn it!" Robison was struck down to his knees by a blow from a rod. When he looked up, he saw a very familiar face. "What

"Also, the house that I’m buying is near the school, and actually belongs to our company. We don't need to spend any money; it's not just a few million." Ava listened to this and glanced at Thomas, her mind racing as she processed everything. She seemed utterly stunned. "So, what you mentioned at the dinner table was true. I guess you didn't just hear it from someone else, did you?" Thomas nodded. When it came to their family matters, digging up information was a piece of cake. "That's why I told you to be cautious." "So that mysterious person my cousin mentioned is you, right? You were the one who gave her the financial details about Robison, and you're the one who encouraged her to invest with me. You've been paving the way for me all along." As she spoke the last part, Ava’s voice began to tremble, and she choked up, tears welling in her eyes. Thomas felt a wave of panic wash over him. "I'm so sorry, honey. Please don't cry. I know I handled this poorly, but I was planning t
