Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 723: Chapter 726: Mr. Lucas asked me to bring you a message

For the next two days, Lily Gray’s nerves were on high alert.

She didn’t know what the so-called ‘ruthless and cruel’ was in Larry Scott’s words.

Nor did she know what the so-called ‘regret’ would be.

She wanted to take precautions, so she informed Sebastian Lucas VII and Samuel Mckinley about the matter.

She asked them to send more people to ensure the safety of the Lucas family members.

Later, she told Madam Lucas and Emily Taylor, asking them to be cautious of recent activities and to pay attention to the military department’s movements.

During her meeting with Samuel Mckinley, he quietly briefed her on what was going on.

“Young Lady, there is no need to worry. Mr. Lucas is in good shape inside. Although Larry Scott has restricted his freedom, he dares not harm him. Moreover, they have not locked Mr. Lucas up in the interrogation room but have arranged a separate room for him. Our people have infiltrated the place and established contact with him.”

She had thought that the Lucas family might have a mole in the military department.

However, she didn’t expect that the mole of the Lucas family would be so deeply embedded.

At this critical moment, to be able to meet Aidan Lucas, the mole must be at least a trusted aide of Larry Scott.

“Anyhow, Young Lady, rest assured. Mr. Lucas asked me to tell you that he is in good shape inside, so please don’t worry. Additionally, he wants to take this opportunity to remove some disloyal subordinates, so he might stay there for some time.”

Upon hearing this, Lily Gray understood Aidan Lucas’s intentions.

Staying inside, letting things outside get chaotic, though risky, is indeed a good way to draw out the snakes hidden in the grass.

Madam Lucas had said that Theodore Lucas had held power in the Lucas family for years, and during those years, he had developed quite a few forces of his own.

Now in the Lucas family, although everything seems peaceful on the surface, it is uncertain how many people are actually on Theodore Lucas’s side.

With that thought, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Aidan Lucas wasn’t unable to come out; he must have his own plans.

“I understand, Samuel. Please ask that person to convey my message to Ethan Wilson. I will take care of Madam Lucas, Mom, and Ben Lucas outside, so he doesn’t have to worry and can just do what he needs to do.”

Samuel Mckinley nodded in agreement, though his eyes darkened slightly.

His words to the Young Lady were seventy percent true and thirty percent false.

It was true that Mr. Lucas was unharmed and wanted to catch spies, but the situation in the Lucas family wasn’t as relaxed as stated in Mr. Lucas’s words.

He was held back by Larry Scott and couldn’t leave just as he wanted to.

Although there were insiders who could communicate and deliver messages,

it more or less had an impact on the Lucas family.

Since Mr. Lucas had instructed not to tell the Young Lady about these matters,

in the end, Samuel Mckinley could only leave with a heavy heart.

Two more days passed, and Larry Scott’s retaliation still didn’t come.

Just when Lily Gray found it strange, she finally learned the reason early that morning.

At the breakfast table, she was accompanying Emily Taylor and Madam Lucas.

Old butler Mckinley suddenly came in and whispered something into Madam Lucas’s ear.

After Mr. Mckinley finished speaking, a smile gradually appeared on Madam Lucas’s face, “Emily, Lily, there’s good news. Word just came from outside that Larry Scott has flown back to B City early this morning to undergo an internal review by the military due to the overwhelming number of people impeaching him. Once Larry Scott is gone, the military department will definitely send someone else to take over the A matter. With someone other than Larry Scott, at the latest tomorrow, Aidan will be released.”

Larry Scott wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

He had been too arrogant.

Larry Scott’s military achievements were outstanding, and his ability to lead troops into battle was exceptional. He had long been seen as a thorn in the side of the military higher-ups.

Now that they’ve caught hold of this opportunity, they won’t miss out on the chance to severely punish him.

Madam Lucas was confident that the person who would replace Larry Scott would not dare to follow in his footsteps.
