Chapter 1592: Chapter 1595: Ex-Husband Shows Solicitude (Extra 1)
Lily had always known that Brandon Lucas was extrely hypocritical.
He was adept at maintaining appearances, presenting one face upfront and another behind the scenes.
For example, when she married Austin Lucas.
Brandon Lucas didn’t torture her directly, but he was no different from people like Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas.
As the head of the household, he clearly knew that she was being humiliated at the Lucas family.
On one hand, he pretended to care about himself and falsely appeared very satisfied with her as his daughter-in-law; on the other hand, he ignored her plight and even allowed his wife, daughter, and even the servants to bully her.
With a person like Brandon Lucas, if you deal with him in a roundabout way, he could use his excellent composure and patience to drag on for ten days or half a month.
But Lily was in a hurry, as ti waits for no one, and she could not afford to wait.
Therefore, she could only use the most direct thod to deal with Brandon Lucas.
“I just want to know, Nolan Lucas… no, it should be Theodore Lucas. What terms did Theodore Lucas offer you? No matter what benefits he promised you, the Reddington family can give you double.”
Brandon Lucas was greedy, and negotiating with such a person was actually the simplest.
As long as you promise huge gains, you could gain his support.
“This…” A flicker almost imperceptible passed through Brandon Lucas’s eyes.
He was indeed tempted.
The benefits Theodore Lucas offered him were more so empty promises for when he would co into power.
But Lily was different, being the precious daughter of Duke Reddington, whose willingness to deploy troops and confront Eastonia for his daughter was well-known by now.
In terms of financial power, Theodore Lucas was definitely no match for the Reddington family.
In terms of influence… Concord Group was recently intending to expand into the European market, and with the help of Duke Reddington, the company’s strength would surely increase.
Brandon Lucas was about to nod in agreent when suddenly he rembered the recording Nolan Lucas had played for him.
“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about… He didn’t offer any conditions.”
Aidan Lucas has ntal issues, with this leverage, Theodore Lucas and Nolan Lucas could definitely pull Aidan Lucas down.
He couldn’t place his bets on a sure loser.
Seeing Lily frown, Brandon Lucas, not wanting to offend her, reluctantly said, “Lily, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. See, you used to be my daughter-in-law; although Austin wronged you in the past, I as a father-in-law have always been very good to you.”
He sighed, “Ah… If I could help you, I definitely would. But this matter, it involves significant concerns… it’s not as simple as just lifting a finger.”
“Not simple…” Lily sharply caught the loophole in Brandon Lucas’s words.
“So, it seems that you already know what so-called leverage Theodore Lucas holds?”
“No, I don’t know… of course I don’t know…”
Since Brandon Lucas had decided to support Theodore Lucas, he absolutely could not reveal their trump card.
Lily was about to press further, but Brandon Lucas suddenly rubbed his temples and said, “Ah… dizzy, feeling dizzy… I didn’t sleep well last night, my old problem of dizziness has acted up again.”
“Lily, I can’t accompany you anymore, I… I need to go back to my room to rest…”
Brandon Lucas always had the chronic issue of dizziness, Lily was, of course, aware of it.
The butler quickly helped Brandon Lucas upstairs, and Lily, unable to keep Brandon Lucas there, could only stand up and leave.
“Wait a mont…” Just as she stood up, Austin Lucas called out to her.
“Lily, wait a mont, let see you out.”
Austin Lucas stared intently at Lily, his eyes full of infatuation, bearing a blatant obsession.
Lily felt utterly disgusted, she didn’t bother to entertain Austin Lucas, and turned to walk outside the study room.
At that mont, Austin Lucas’s voice ca from behind her, “Lily, don’t you want to know what Theodore Lucas told my father? Wait a mont, I can tell you.”
Lily paused in her steps, turned back, and for the first ti, looked at him straight in the eyes.
