CHAPTER 412
The two people next to Lucas Johnson were taken aback by his words, feeling completely out of place. After all, only Lucas would have the guts to say something like that. His department had to work incredibly hard, while the other departments seemed to barely lift a finger. The tech development department was practically on the chopping block, with its responsibilities already handed off to others. If it weren't for Lucas's presence, it might have been eliminated. He was given the title ofmanager, but it was more of a figureheadI position. Instead of calling him "manager," everyone just referred to him as "Mr. Lucas," which felt like an extra privilege.Their department had no business metrics to speak of all year round, and with work being siphoned off, Lucas had spent most of his time just tinkering around in the office.He didn't even have a strict nine-to- five schedule and could come and go as he pleased, yet he still dared to claim he was working hard."I know it's not exactly
CHAPTER 411
But now that things have come to this point, what else can he do? This kid's ability to make such a drastic move is truly impressive. Old Mr. Blackwood watched Lucas's expression, which seemed to be a mix of struggle and calmness, not as entertaining as he had imagined."So, have you had enough of the show? Are you satisfied with the answer?"Old Mr. Blackwood nodded."Yeah, I'm satisfied, but it lacks a bit of excitement. I thought the conflict between you and your mother would be more intense." At the mention of "mother and son," Lucas's face fell even further."Alright, enough with the teasing. Let's get straight to the point. Do you want to partner with him or with me?"Once this topic was brought up, the playful tone of the conversation vanished, and Ryan became serious."You need to understand that you lost the last bet, and now you're at a disadvantage in this one too." His words were direct and accurate, and Lucas nodded."So, what are you planning? You've completely decided t
CHAPTER 410
The receptionist finished her call and arranged for someone to take Lucas upstairs. This company was quite different from the two buildings he had visited before. As expected from a real estate firm, the office building had several impressive features. Old Mr. Blackwood wasn't planning to meet Lucas directly. He was still annoyed that this woman was trying to manipulate his son, so he decided to create a little drama. He dialed Clinton’s number.When Clinton picked up, he said, "Hey, Dad.""Listen, some documents are waiting at the entrance. Hold onto them for a few minutes; someone will come to pick them up." Why did handling documents haveto be so complicated?"Just don't forget about that file from East City. Do as I instructed." After hanging up, Clinton knew he had no choice but to comply. Allison was watching him closely, eager not to miss any important information.Clinton grabbed the documents and headed outside, waiting at the entrance for quite a while. He asked a few empl
CHAPTER 409
"This situation can't be taken lightly.I need to gather some information.There must be a few whispers at headquarters; knowing the reasons behind this is crucial." Lucas understood that once he had this information, he could leverage it to sway Old Mr. Blackwood's wavering thoughts."Right now, we can't get in touch with Clinton. I've heard that his company has completely shifted gears. He's stepped down, and his father is back in charge."When the Secretary heard this news, she realized everything was falling apart. That old man must have caught wind of what was happening. And that old man's temper was not something to be trifled with."Don't even mention it. Because of all this, my job just got a lot harder. If I approach him directly, given his son's situation, he might turn against me."Lucas felt a headache coming on as he thought about it. He couldn't help but curse Clinton for being so unreliable. He had initially used this situation to threaten herinto compliance, only to h
CHAPTER 408
"Son, you've suffered enough. The lawyer should be working on a solution, and we're also trying to reach out to Ava for help, but it's not looking good." Robison felt a surge of emotion at his mother's words."Haven't I told you? Don't plead with them; it's pointless. They won't let me go.""Why not?"Since their meeting today, his mother had been thinking about this for a long time. She wanted to ask her son about it."Just don't worry about it. They'll never forgive me. Just look at their attitude; they want to see me destroyed." The fact that he had kidnapped them was already beyond repair. His mother could see the distress in her son's eyes and felt even more anxious."Son, you have to tell us something.Otherwise, we can't help you at all." How could he explain this? Could he really confess to his parents at the police station that he had once kidnapped them? It was too foolish to even say out loud."Mom, from the very beginning, you should have trusted me. They're not the kind o
CHAPTER 407
"Alright, I got it. It's still early, so don't forget to pick up our son on your way back. I'm going to grab some groceries." For some reason, the thought of welcoming her first guest into their new home filled her withunexpected joy, as if her family had suddenly stepped into a warm and lively atmosphere. The advantage of living in this school district was that everything was conveniently located nearby.She didn't have to walk far to reachthe market. As she made her way with bags of groceries in hand, she spotted three familiar figures ahead, it was Thomas and his family.Kids really do have sharp eyes."Mom! Mom! We're over here!"Hearing the commotion, Thomas quickly approached his wife, who was struggling with her heavy bags.'I told you, you didn't need to buy so much. Perfect timing! I can start cooking as soon as we get home." Ava glanced at David, who stood nearby, feeling a bit awkward."Mr. David, I didn't know you were joining us for dinner today. I rushed to buy some gr
