LOGINOn Edwin’s side, hearing his subordinate backtrack improved his mood.“Fine. As long as you understand. How’s the doctor now?”He let out a cold snort, and the sight of the doctor being dragged in lifted his spirits even further.As long as this witness was eliminated, there would be nothing left to worry about.On Lucas’ side, it would all come down to a lack of evidence.After that, he could say whatever he wanted.Without proof, Lucas wouldn’t be able to touch him, and even his father would have nothing concrete to go on.No matter how dissatisfied they were, they would still need evidence to act.Thinking this through, Edwin felt his mood lighten.The subordinate answered respectfully, “Sir, when I brought the doctor in, he didn’t seem entirely lucid. I’m not sure if something triggered him.”At those words, Edwin’s expression shifted.How could something trigger the doctor?He had been sent to carry out a job, yet not only had he failed to kill Daniel, he had nearly exposed everyt
When Lucas saw this, a flicker of shock crossed his face.He hadn’t expected the warehouse to hide something like this beneath it.There was a small basement.The doctor was there, together with the man who had taken him.At the sight, Lucas forced down the urge to rush forward.If he acted on impulse now, everything would fall apart.And more importantly, he wouldn’t be able to secure any evidence against Edwin—that wasn’t his goal.Edwin was as slippery as ever. If he missed this chance, who knew when he’d get another one?There was no way he would let it slip.He stayed hidden in a blind spot where no one could see him.His phone quietly extended outward, recording.This time, he had to capture everything and every piece of evidence against Edwin.Meanwhile, the moment Edwin saw the doctor, his eyes lit up.He hurried forward and asked his subordinate, “Well? When you brought him here, did anyone follow you?”“No, sir. You can rest easy.”The subordinate patted his chest. “I’m certa
Edwin believed that capturing the doctor gave him the confidence he needed.Now, he feared nothing.That was why he moved through the warehouse with his phone in hand, searching without a hint of caution.From this point on, all he had to do was find the doctor—once he did, he could erase every trace.As for everything else, there was nothing left to worry about.His thinking was simple: as long as the doctor was dealt with, no one else would matter.When the time came, no matter what Lucas said, it would all be nothing more than words without proof. What was there to be afraid of?As long as Lucas had no evidence, he couldn’t do anything to him.More importantly, he still had a way to defend himself.Even if his father didn’t favor him, he was still his son—handling something like this would not be difficult.So, Edwin was convinced that as long as no solid evidence fell into Lucas’ hands, everything would be fine. Only then would his father have nothing more to say.Without evidence,
So, when Edwin arrived at the warehouse, he took no precautions at all. He even drove straight in, bold and unconcerned.Seeing this, Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly.It seemed Edwin had no sense of caution whatsoever—if anything, he had grown a little arrogant.Just because he had kidnapped a doctor, did he really think he could act without consequences?Setting everything else aside, Lucas hadn’t even managed to get anything useful out of the doctor yet.So, there was no way Edwin would get anything from him either.More importantly, as long as Lucas hadn’t extracted what he needed, the doctor still had value—at the very least, something might come out when he and Edwin met.Otherwise, Lucas wouldn’t have seen any reason to keep either of them around.Of course, he had never said any of this to anyone else.If Aurora ever discovered those darker thoughts of his, would she still like him?At first, Lucas had been confident about that.But after spending more time online, he had come
Then Aurora’s situation would have resolved itself without effort.Sometimes, if no action was taken at all, others would start to see it as a sign of weakness.Edwin was clearly one of those people now.Lucas had already come to a decision—he had tolerated Edwin long enough. How could he keep putting up with him again and again?They were all adults now. It was obvious each person should have their own path to follow.Staying in one place, shutting oneself inside a small, closed circle—how could that be considered capability?In this day and age, anyone who stubbornly refused to move forward would soon be left behind.Lucas knew very well that Edwin was the type who refused to admit defeat no matter what.If everything wasn’t laid out clearly before him, if the evidence wasn’t placed right in front of his face, he would never admit to anything.Precisely because Lucas understood his nature so well, he had his own way of dealing with him.For a man as slippery and shameless as Edwin, L
She was still a woman about to be married.What was the point of just standing there watching her?Even if his subordinate didn’t understand, he still had to carry it out.Meanwhile, Lucas was already closing in on the abandoned warehouse where the doctor was hiding.His expression grew increasingly grim.If the doctor had chosen to hide here, it meant he likely had a backup plan—it couldn’t be as simple as just lying low inside the warehouse.Lucas sent Desmond another message, asking about Edwin’s situation.Desmond replied promptly.“Sir, I’m currently following Edwin’s car. I’ve been keeping an eye on his movements the whole time.”“Good. Stay on him. Don’t let your guard down and make sure you see exactly where he’s headed.”“Understood.”Hearing the seriousness in Lucas’ tone, Desmond felt his own nerves tighten.At first, he hadn’t thought much of it, but now it seemed things were far more complicated than he’d imagined.In the end, Desmond quietly added, “Sir, you should be car
Someone chuckled. “Well, of course, our resident workaholic is back.”Everyone knew Aurora had always been obsessed with closing deals.Those major projects from before?Most of them had been landed single-handedly by her.But now, many of those deals had stalled or been shelved.It was a real shame
She broke into a teary smile, looking both disheveled and endearing.Choking up, Megan asked, “Aurora, are you really okay? You didn’t fall, right? You’re not hurt? Nothing got hit?”Aurora shook her head. “I’m fine. My legs just gave out for a moment, I lost my balance a little. It’s really not as
The intern asked cautiously, “Miss Walton, is something bothering you? You seem a little down.”Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.She had almost forgotten the officer was still in the room.Wearing such a troubled expression in front of him wasn’t a good idea.Realizing this, she forced a smile. “It’s
Julian had clung to that phone with everything he had, all just to hand it over to Lucas.But as for why, Lucas still hadn’t figured that part out.This version of Julian was actually kind of intriguing.It looked like things were about to get interesting.The curve at the corner of Lucas’ lips deep
