CHAPTER 326
"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
CHAPTER 325
The entire dining table buzzed with excitement over Thomas's relentless attacks, but the only things heating up were Thomas's temper and Lucas's interest. For everyone else, the atmosphere had turned awkward and strange. "What else is there to say? Everyone is pretending to be a family while secretly harboring their own agendas. If that's the case, there's no need to waste any more time. If you want to eat, then eat; if not, it's better to part ways early," Thomas declared, his voice cutting through the chatter. Ava was at a loss for how to handle the situation. She could somewhat understand Thomas's outburst, but disbelief overshadowed her understanding. "Isn't this just a meal? No need to get so worked up," Ava interjected, trying to calm the storm. Thomas glanced at her, momentarily taken aback. He had intended to stir things up today, to drop the pretense, but seeing Ava's concerned expression brought back his own hesitation. Lucas was enjoying the spectacle, but when he saw
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
