"What is it?" Luna was curious.
"I need a trigger." Oscar leaned closer and said in a voice that only Trissy and Luna could hear, "Mr. Justin Thomas is going to be discharged soon. As long as he leaves the hospital and goes back, Lucas' position will be secured." "Then what can we do?" Luna looked at Oscar doubtfully. "Do you want us to persuade Mr. Justin Thomas?" Luna thought of being humiliated by Justin a few days ago, she bit her lip and shook her head. "I have a type of medicine. Normal people won't be affected after having it, but for people who have just recovered from a serious illness, they will tend to fall asleep." Oscar said softly, "It doesn't have side effects. It will just let Mr. Thomas rest for a few days. Stall for a few days and my dad will help me get support from the other directors." "Have you lost your mind?" Luna covered her mouth as she exclaimed. "How could we harm Mr. Justin Thomas? If we were discovered, we wouOscar's voice was bewitching. Luna wanted to hang up when the desire of becoming Mrs. Thomas took the better of her. Luna took a deep breath. "Yes, I have thought it through. How do we do it?" "I will give you an address later. Go there tomorrow and find the designated storage box. There is medicine in it," Oscar said flatly. "I got it," Luna forced herself to answer in a calm tone, and then immediately hung up the phone. Lucas did not return to the Thomas' villa for two weeks. During that time, he received a call from Olivia. Olivia heard about Lucas' wedding and knew that Justin was hospitalized. She wanted to return to LA, saying that she wanted to visit Justin. Lucas rejected her. Olivia wanted to say something, but Lucas had already hung up the phone in frustration. On Monday morning, Lucas took a shower in the office suite. When he just sat down in front of his desk, the phone rang again. He frowned and looked at the phone scr
Lucas was woken up by the phone. He originally wanted to hang up, but after thinking for a bit, he still answered the phone. A panicked voice came from the other side of the line. "Mr. Thomas, something's wrong. Mr. Justin Thomas just felt unwell and is now in the ER!" "What?" Lucas was instantly awake. He sat up from the bed and asked loudly, "Feeling unwell? Why was he sent to the ER?" "Mr. Thomas, come to the hospital as soon as possible." Dwayne's voice trembled as he spoke to Lucas anxiously. Lucas immediately hung up the phone, dressed up as fast as he could, and then went to the underground parking lot. As he drove to the hospital, he called Vincent and asked him to rush over as well. Vincent had been woken up from sound sleep. He was originally a little depressed, but when he heard Lucas' tone, he knew how serious it was. When Lucas arrived at the hospital, only Rebecca came from Thomas' villa. She was sitting alone o
Just as Lucas was looking at the people from the hospital with a grim face, Louis came over again. This time, Louis had a fake sad expression on his face. He looked at the director and said, "Can we go in and see my father?" "Sure, sure, please." The director was so relieved to hear what Louis said since he felt so nervous in front of Lucas. Lucas, Rebecca, and the others arrived at the emergency room as well. The room had already been cleaned up. Justin was on the operating bed, but he was already covered with a white cloth. Rebecca covered her mouth and looked at Lucas with concern. Lucas felt something subtle and it was hard to specify his feelings at that moment. He thought he wouldn't care, but he also thought of Justin's cultivation and teaching over the years. Just as everyone fell into silence, Louis suddenly spoke up. "When can we get the death certificate? Otherwise, we can't get the property." Rebecca
Louis had been going out of his way to spread the news. Thus, Lucas had to announce Justin's death. Once it was released, the share price of the Thomas Group fell again. On the Internet, many people felt that Justin fell seriously ill because of Lucas' wedding. There were a lot of harsh comments on Lucas. Yet Lucas didn't have the time to deal with the online comments. He moved his office into the Thomas Group so that he could deal with the business and Justin's funeral at the same time. Lucas' original plan had been disrupted. After Justin passed away, some senior executives started to make a move. When Justin was alive, these people had to conceal their ambition. Now that Justin had passed away, Lucas believed they would target him after the funeral. While Lucas was busy in a mess, Terry was lost in thought as he read the news. He felt a little uneasy for no reason. He wanted to see Jessica, desperately. So he
It was not the first time Oscar saw Lucas, but the first time he faced Lucas in public with his true identity. What Lucas said embarrassed Oscar. Louis could not bear Oscar being bullied. He walked up to Lucas and said, "He is my son. Do you want me, your father, to take out a paternity test? Since you are both my sons, Oscar is your brother." "Are you serious? Louis, are you going to do this at grandfather's funeral?" Lucas looked at Louis with a cold gaze. "Bastard! If you were half as caring as Oscar, Justin wouldn't have been so angry that he ended up being hospitalized!" Louis hated it when Lucas humiliated him in public. "Is that so?" Lucas sounded a little angry. "Who is his mother?" With that, Louis looked embarrassed. "Lucas, you don't have to go against me like this. I'm not here to compete with you for anything. Dad pities me and he just wants to give me an identity. If you're annoyed seeing me here, I'll leave now."
Jessica did not reply. She lowered her head and cut a piece of steak. Then she put it in her mouth and began to chew. The meat juice spread in her mouth and the aroma of the steak gradually filled her mouth and nose. However, Jessica felt an inexplicable sense of bitterness somehow. She took a sip of water, put down her knife and fork, looked at Hannah, who was eating happily, and said, "I'm full. Enjoy yourself. I'll go back to work now." "You only ate a little, Jessica. What happened to you? You don't like the steak here?" Hannah glanced at Jessica's plate and asked. "I've got something to deal with. You can order whatever you want. My treat." Jessica stood up, patted Hannah on the shoulder, and quickly left the steakhouse. Jessica returned to her office. She sat in front of the table and pondered. Ever since their wedding, the Thomas family had never gone out of trouble. Jessica was just an outsider, yet even she felt worried. Lucas mus
Oscar knew that Lucas would definitely look down on him, but he did not care. With the help of Louis, he had already obtained a management position in the Thomas Group. "How is it, Oscar?" Louis followed Oscar to his office. Every time he saw his kid with Amanda, he felt proud. Louis found himself useful. He just helped his son get a position. Oscar turned to look at Louis, and the corners of his mouth curled into a self-mocking smile. "Dad, you have to know that the entire Thomas Group will finally fall into our grip." "What are you talking about, Oscar!" Louis panicked when he heard that. He then hurriedly looked around to see if anyone was listening. "Dad, what are you nervous about? You are grandpa's only son. The Thomas Group should have been yours." "That may be true, but the Thomas Group is in your brother's hands now," Louis said awkwardly. Louis wanted to make money, but he also knew he was not capable enough to run the Tho
Jessica was confused, but she didn't call Terry directly. She knew that if she called Terry, he would immediately tell her what his relationship with Oscar was. But now, she didn't know if she could believe what Terry would say. After getting off work, Jessica and Hannah came to Mona's nightclub together. Caesar and Lance were there today. The few of them chatted together. Jessica had to drive back by herself, so she only ordered a glass of alcohol-free juice. "Jessica, that Oscar seems very active recently. Do you know him?" No one from the Thomas Group and Thomas family had appeared in their topic for a long time, and after Caesar asked this question, the others all stared at Jessica. "To be honest, I didn't know this person before," Jessica shrugged. "Lucas' father has been living outside and he has a child. That's all I know." Jessica wasn't lying. She felt that Olivia and Rebecca should know something, but they wou
