Chapter 1660: Chapter 1663: That Person at Azure Dragon Temple…
The Lucas family council eting was originally supposed to be held at the Lucas old manor, presided over by the head of the family.
However, the focus of this eting revolved around Theodore Lucas.
Everyone in the family knew that the current head of the family, Aidan Lucas, and Theodore Lucas were on bad terms, barely acknowledging each other’s existence.
Hence, in order to ensure fairness, this family council eting would be presided over by Albert Lucas, the uncle with the highest seniority and age in the Lucas family.
And the location of the event was changed from the Lucas old manor to Albert Lucas’s ho.
…
When Aidan Lucas arrived with Lily, Emily Taylor, and Sylvia Scott at the villa, there were already more than thirty luxury cars parked outside.
With a quick glance, most of the Lucas branch family heads had arrived. In addition, there were also several senior family mbers who had long since stepped out of active roles.
Mr. Lucas curled his lips, a cold sneer seeping from the corners.
This ti, it seed Theodore Lucas had gone all out to clear the nas of his illegitimate children and Tara Hammond.
“Aidan, I saw your elder Uncle and Third Uncle’s cars. Why are they here too?” Emily Taylor spotted the familiar license plates and couldn’t help tugging at Aidan Lucas.
“They’re both idle and unprincipled, so Grandpa had long made it clear they weren’t qualified to attend the family council eting. They must have accepted favors from Theodore Lucas!”
The elder Uncle and Third Uncle of Theodore Lucas and Aidan Lucas had grown up together.
Though they weren’t particularly close, their relationship was certainly better than that with the stern and impartial Aidan Lucas.
“It’s fine,” Aidan Lucas said softly, “He’s been silently enduring for years without making any moves. This ti, he managed to persuade Uncle Albert to preside over the eting—it’s only natural he wouldn’t co empty-handed. As for what kind of people the elder Uncle and Third Uncle are, not only do we know, but the other family heads and senior mbers know as well…”
At this point, Mr. Lucas’s dark brows slightly rose.
A black sports car suddenly sped into their view.
With a sharp drift, the car ca to a precise stop right in front of them.
Sebastian Lucas VII stepped out of the car, his expression slightly weary.
“Mr. Lucas…”
“…It didn’t work?” Aidan Lucas glanced behind Sebastian Lucas VII, noticing that nobody else followed out from the car, imdiately guessing the outco.
Sebastian Lucas VII looked apologetic. “That person… refused to co down from the mountain.”
He had spent days at Azure Dragon Temple, desperately pleading. Towards the end, he was even chased out of the temple and had to sleep in his car.
Yet that person remained resolute; Sebastian Lucas VII tried everything—soft words, tough talk—but still failed to persuade him to co down.
Aidan Lucas nodded, not showing much disappointnt.
If that person had been so easily convinced to leave the mountain, he would’ve already stepped forward when the old man passed away and Theodore Lucas seized power.
Over all these years, the only ti he appeared was when Grandma passed, stepping in to protect Emily and allowing her to stay in Azure Dragon Temple for a period of ti.
This ti, Aidan Lucas sending Sebastian Lucas VII up there had been purely on a whim to try.
“Forget it. I can handle the situation here. As long as he’s still up there, if sothing truly goes wrong, he won’t stand idly by.”
“But Mr. Lucas, although that person refused to et , he did send a ssage for you. He said that Theodore Lucas’s ambition isn’t limited to rejoining the family tree—he’s aiming for the head of the family position. That person said he won’t interfere in internal family strife anymore, but the only thing he could tell you is this.”
This comnt was clearly ant to alert Aidan Lucas.
A few days ago, Uncle Albert had also gone up to Azure Dragon Temple, which suggested this piece of information might have been relayed to that person by Uncle Albert.
“Sebastian, go up to Azure Dragon Temple again.” Mr. Lucas paused in contemplation before suddenly speaking.
“What? Again?” Sebastian Lucas VII was stunned.
Not only Sebastian, but also the anxious Emily Taylor, as well as the sowhat puzzled Lily and Sylvia Scott, found this strange.
