Chapter 847: Chapter 850: How about asking Larry Scott for help?
“On your end, it’s best not to act rashly. Rember, set a more tempting bait and just wait for the fish to bite. Alright, I’m hanging up…”
“Hey—wait, don’t hang up…”
Benjamin Lucas called out excitedly to the other person, “Debby, if I really set a bigger bait for her and she still doesn’t bite, what then?”
On the other end of the phone, Harrison Lucas’s voice paused.
“If she still doesn’t bite, that either ans she is indeed innocent, without any ulterior motives, or, it can only an that what she’s after is even bigger than you think. If that’s the case, I’ll advise the young master to make a trip back.”
With Harrison’s words, Benjamin finally felt a sense of relief.
...
After ending the call and returning to the office, Benjamin’s gaze was glued to Arianna Brooks’s face.
He was pondering how to offer her an even bigger temptation.
Benjamin thought the stare hidden behind his gold-frad glasses was unnoticeable.
But little did he know, his eager gaze had already made Lily, the subject of his attention, feel a tingling on her scalp.
Lily would have preferred Benjamin to be more unpleasant to her rather than stare at her with such unnerving eyes.
“Cough, Mr. Lucas… I’ve finished organizing these docunts. Um, I need to use the bathroom, I’ll be right back.”
Lily placed the sorted docunts on Benjamin’s desk.
Before he could issue another command, she fled under the guise of a ‘bathroom break.’
Too terrifying, Lily patted her chest and caught her breath.
She felt it was necessary to ask Benjamin in advance to switch offices.
If she kept staying with him, she was afraid she might not be able to resist gouging out his eyes.
Lily dawdled in the bathroom for a while, and by the ti she returned, Benjamin was no longer in the office.
Relieved, she saw a note left for her by Benjamin on the desk.
Benjamin instructed her to finish organizing the remaining docunts on the desk and also reminded her not to forget to order lunch for Ethan Wilson at noon.
Beside the note, there were the phone numbers of several upscale restaurants; Lily glanced at them and knew they were all places Ethan Wilson frequented.
After four years, their relationship had changed, but his taste in food had not.
Lily set aside the note and began her work.
Halfway through her work, a call ca from Blake Graham.
“Miss, Simon Taylor has already started making moves. With the Lucas family backing him, no one dares to disrespect him. The courts and the police station are probably not going to hold out for long and are about to give in.”
Blake Graham was a perfectionist and had a great love for challenges.
The greater the challenge, the more interested he was.
On the other end of the phone, Blake’s voice sounded a bit excited.
“But Miss, rest assured. I’ve anticipated their counterattack and already have a contingency plan.”
“Hmm, good that you have a plan. But is that the only reason you called?” Lily didn’t believe Blake would contact her out of the blue just to report on work progress.
He was not that straightforward of a person.
“Heh, Miss is indeed clever. Actually, I wanted to ask if we could let Commander Scott know about this. Commander Scott has recently gained more influence, and with his backing, it would be more convenient to move things along at the courts and the police station.”
Given Blake’s self-confident nature, he obviously didn’t want Larry Scott to intervene.
He liked to win cases on his own rits.
The reason he wanted the Miss to contact Larry Scott was only to have Larry step in and smooth over any troubleso underhanded tricks from The Taylors.
