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 oJust 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
Jessica looked at Lucas. For the first time, Jessica didn't feel offended by Lucas' indifferent attitude. All of a sudden, she seemed to have understood what his attitude was about. She understood that his attitude was just a disguise. In the past, Jessica thought it was his arrogance. After all, he seemed to have owned the whole world back then. "I didn't expect that," Jessica said calmly. "I never wanted anyone to replace you. It's just I hate it when others are plotting against my family. I believe you feel the same." "Then what is this conversation about?" Lucas felt bitter. Even his voice became hoarse. "I don't think you need me to teach you what to do. You are not a person who will willingly accept failure." Jessica paused for a moment before she spoke. "But I have to accept it when it comes to you," Lucas said peacefully. The arrogant man finally admitted his failure in love. Jessica didn't feel the pleasure of revenge at al
Although Terry rejected Oscar's request, he did give Oscar some new projects. However, compared to the projects in the northland, these projects were really not enough. In the recent company executive meeting, the number of people supporting Oscar had obviously decreased, and even the executive who had a relationship with Louis lost his confidence in Oscar. This made Oscar even more annoyed. He called Terry again. He had to reach Jessica through Terry. "If you don't help me, I will go to the Hall Group myself. It's not like I don't know what she looks like," Oscar said bitterly. "If you go to her, I will immediately suspend all the cooperation with you." Jessica was Terry's bottom line. Terry wouldn't make any compromise. After hanging up the phone, Oscar angrily pushed everything on the table to the ground, and then slammed the coffee cup. The sound of the cup shattering came from his office. Oscar sat in his chair wi
