CHAPTER 324
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
CHAPTER 323
Robison had been watching from the sidelines, and he could hear a bit more than the others.They were only two seats apart, and when he heard them discussing the difficulties, he didn't believe a word of it. Yet, the people in front of him had no reason to lie."Mom, I'm stepping out for a bit," Iris said as she noticed Thomas getting up to head to the restroom. She felt a sudden urge to follow him, hoping to create a moment alone with him.She had come to this meeting today solelyfor Thomas.Robison, sitting nearby, had already picked up on the tension between them. He sensed something strange was going on between the two. He wasn't oblivious to Iris situation athome; he had thought her husband was definitely in for some trouble, but then everything seemed to calm down unexpectedly, as if someone was helping her out.For a while, it was clear that Iris had returned to her old self, but now she seemed timid again, chasing after Thomas as if she needed to talk to him. Thomas just wan
CHAPTER 322
A group of people was bustling around, and Solara was eager for everyone to know that she was the one who had invited David. As David’s identity became clear, the family erupted into chaos. Thomas showed his disapproval, preferring to eat quietly at the side, with Ava accompanying him. While arranging the seating, Solara, overwhelmed with joy, completely forgot about Lucas.Instead, she remembered Nancy."I must say, you're impressive! But why do I feel like there are still people we don't know here?"Hearing this, Solara glanced around the table and finally spotted Lucas. Cursing under her breath, she realized she had forgotten about him in her excitement. Seeing Lucas's calm demeanor eased her worries; he didn't seem angry at all."Oh, not at all! I just got a bit carried away.We should be sitting together, Ms. Lucas, come join us!"Lucas had been observing the lively scene in the house. It was clear that family dynamics were quite tense, with everyone at odds with one another. He
CHAPTER 321
"My dad still doesn't believe it. When David stands in front of them, he'll leave them all speechless, making them realize just how capable I am." Jack remained silent. It was clearly Thomas's achievement, but in her words, it had all turned into his talent. This kind of upside-down reasoning was something she often did. The door swung open, and Lucas and David returned to the hospital room, both wearing polite smiles as they took their seats.The group chatted casually, but the atmosphere shifted when the door openedagain, becoming a bit tense. Thomas glanced around the room, first surprised, then smirking coldly."I had no idea you two were so relaxed, popping into other people's hospital roomslike this. Is your own company not keeping you busy at all?" Thomas entered with a sharp edge to his words, seemingly directing his ire at Solara. Jack sensed the tension but noticed that Lucas appeared unfazed."You must have rushed over right after work, huh? Your mother-in-law was insisti
CHAPTER 320
Thomas stepped out of the school feeling much lighter. He glanced at the time and decided to take a stroll before heading to the hospital; by the time he arrived, it would be just about right."Hey, where are you? Hurry up and get to the hospital! My mom seems to be causing more trouble again," Ava’s anxious voice came through the phone, making Thomas instantly aware that something was wrong. Furrowing his brow, he felt his earlier lighthearted mood shatter into pieces."What's going on? I'm out right now, but I'll try to get there as soon as I can." Thomas checked the time, realizing Ava didn't care that it was during his work hours. There was no way to brush this off."I don't know exactly. My dad just texted me saying two important guests have arrived, and my mom is busy preparing for them. He didn't say much else, but I'm guessing it might be David’s." Thomas' heart sank. The only personWho could make Solara fuss over hosting guests right before surgery? None other than David, wh
CHAPTER 319
Kiara felt a rush of anxiety when her name was called. Thomas couldn't possibly know what was going through her mind; he must be deliberately targeting her. What could be so important that their legal department had to take the lead?"Everyone, as you all know, our boss is currently unavailable, so I'm stepping in. Our legal department is doing well, but there's one issue that's proving to be quite tricky, it concerns a piece of land." Kiara wanted to stop her, but it was too late. This crazy woman was about to spill everything right in front of everyone.She seemed unafraid of the consequences, even if it meant offending their boss. On the other hand, Thomas remained calm, showing no inclination to intervene, which gave Kiara a bit of courage."As you should all be aware, our company has always invested heavily in real estate, and this time it involves a piece of land. This land is entangled with a third party, and I'm currently managing the related relationships, but my opponent hap
