Chapter 1678: Chapter 1681: Charles Taylor’s Transforrs Broke
Hearing this, Maxwell Lucas seed to truly be an extraordinary Uncle.
“What if your Uncle refuses to co down the mountain? Or, even worse, he cos down the mountain but prefers Theodore Lucas over you?”
Lily felt vaguely worried.
“After all… just like Albert Lucas, he watched Theodore grow up.”
Mr. Lucas gently stroked Lily’s silky black hair and chuckled softly, “Theodore upset my grandma so much. Uncle wouldn’t possibly co down the mountain. If he were able to, he would’ve handled Theodore himself long ago. Besides, the things in Uncle’s possession have been privately handed over to already. It’s just that people on the outside don’t know yet.”
“So… your Uncle is definitely on your side, then?” Lily’s eyes lit up, but the light soon dimd. “But your Uncle is so stubborn. He hasn’t co down the mountain all these years. He definitely won’t this ti either.”
If he wasn’t coming down, Albert Lucas remained the highest-ranking mber of the Lucas family on the surface.
If it ca to that, they could only stall for ti. They had seven days to find a breakthrough and prove that the evidence Theodore Lucas was holding was falsified.
“No, I need to mobilize our people in Reddington imdiately. If Winston leads the investigation personally, we’re bound to find a flaw…”
Lily couldn’t wait another mont. She stood up, ready to leave.
“Silly girl, do you really distrust your husband so much, hmm?” Mr. Lucas pulled Lily back and settled her back down onto the rattan chair.
“Since I dared to say it, I obviously wouldn’t be reckless. Don’t worry. This ti, Sebastian Lucas VII will definitely convince him to co down.”
“Sebastian Lucas VII…” Lily paused slightly, then suddenly recalled the photo Aidan Lucas had forwarded to Sebastian earlier this morning.
She couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, the photo you sent to Sebastian—who was that figure from the back?”
“…”
Mr. Lucas didn’t answer. Instead, he gently lifted Lily’s chin and leaned in for a kiss.
His cool lips pressed against hers, parting her soft, crimson lips in one smooth motion.
Lily knew full well Mr. Lucas was using the kiss to dodge her question, deliberately refusing to answer. But when it ca to this man, she was helpless.
She almost wanted to cry. Why did he always resort to this tactic whenever he wanted to divert the topic?
Feeling utterly resigned, Lily could only let Mr. Lucas deepen the kiss until she was breathless, slumped against his chest. Only then did the man grudgingly stop, holding her close in his embrace.
“Co on, let’s go check on the little ones.”
Restless for an answer, Lily felt an itch in her heart.
But Aidan Lucas scooped her up entirely, refusing to give her any opportunity to resist.
The two of them walked into the house. As soon as Aidan put her down—
Before Lily could even resu her questioning, a loud “Waaaaaah!” erupted from the living room.
Hearing the child crying, Lily imdiately grew anxious, forgetting completely about the photo as she turned and rushed toward the living room.
“Waaaah, waaaah… Lulu is an! Lulu, you little niece, bullied ! I want justice! I want my Transforrs back!”
In the living room, Charles Taylor was clutching his beloved Transforrs toy, crying at the top of his lungs.
As the inadvertent ‘culprit’ behind Charles Taylor’s misery, Lulu was clearly in a daze.
With her chubby face puffed up like a stead bun, she looked up at Charles with a deeply guilty expression.
Tears shimred on her face as she stamred, “I-I’m sorry… Lulu didn’t an to. I thought it was too dirty. I thought it was like my doll and needed a bath, so I…”
As she explained herself, Lulu tried to inch closer.
“Stay away from —this was a toy my mom gave ! You’re all villains! Just because I don’t have a mom anymore, you think it’s okay to bully !” Charles pushed Lulu away and clutched his robot as he ran for the door.
But as soon as he turned around, he crashed into a solid, unyielding figure.
Looking up at the man’s icy expression, he froze in place. “C-Cousin…” he stuttered dumbly.
