Chapter 858: Hospitalized
Seeing how enraged Tyson was, the steward shuddered in fright and was at a plete loss for words.
He was an elderly of the Smiths, so he naturally knew that Tyson and Thomas had fought for the position of helmsman, which eventually caused these brothers to turn against each other. They were now at odds and had clearly separated into two camps.
Although the steward was now on Tyson’s side, Thomas was still Tyson’s brother and a big shot of the Smiths after all. He was just a lowly steward and had no right to intervene.
“Thomas! This must have something to do with Thomas!
“Hah, I’ll just say it. I arranged for Vince to bring his men to kill Lucas Gray long ago. He hasn’t replied yet, but Lucas Gray’s subordinate has already e to the Smiths. How outrageous!
“There must be something wrong with this! Vince’s mission must have failed! Yet he didn’t report this matter to me!
“That’s right! There should still be a person sitting in the car parked outside. It might just be that damned Lucas Gray!
“Hah, maybe that sly old fox Thomas and that punk Vince took the opportunity to cooperate with Lucas Gray. They deliberately let him barge into the Smith residence!
The more Tyson thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Otherwise, why hadn’t Vince, who was obviously supposed to kill Lucas, called yet?
How could that damned Thomas fall ill and go to the hospital when Lucas’s subordinate was breaking into the Smiths’ residence?
Clearly, they had already colluded and were deliberately going against him!
The more Tyson thought about it, the angrier he got. There was anger burning in his chest and murderous intent on his face.
After hearing this, the steward turned pale. “That young man alone is already extremely difficult to deal with. If… if Thomas is colluded with them, then… what should we do?”
Tyson was enraged.
He grabbed two handfuls of hair and looked at the steward with displeasure. All he does is ask me what to do. How would I know?
If the butler Charlie was still around, he would have long e up with an idea for him. There would be no need for him to rack his brains and think of a solution here.
Unfortunately, Charlie was no longer around, and he had very likely already died in Lucas’s hands. Tyson had to make decisions now.
“In this case, immediately call Thomas and tell him this. If he can’t bring his people here to defend against the enemies within fifteen minutes, I will regard him as betraying the family. I will remove him from the Smith genealogy and make sure he gets lost from the Smiths forever!” Tyson hollered furiously.
Remove him from the family?! The steward was shocked and didn’t dare to delay. He hurriedly called Thomas.
But all he heard was that Thomas had already turned off his phone and that the call couldn’t connect.
The steward hurriedly called several times, but he still received the same result.
Thomas clearly wasn’t going to answer nor take their orders.
“Damn it!” Tyson cursed angrily. His lungs were about to explode. “Okay! Since he’s unkind, he shouldn’t blame me for paying him back in his own coin and ignoring our brotherhood!”
…
At the same time, in a VIP ward in an upscale private hospital in DC, a man was wearing loose-fitting home wear and lying on a fortable hospital bed while looking at his phone.
This person was naturally Thomas, who had made Tyson furious.
His face was red and full of radiance. He looked nothing like a patient.
There was a middle-aged man in his forties next to him. It was Vince, his son.
“Dad, if you refuse to answer their calls so blatantly, won’t you provoke that old dog Tyson and make him do something overboard?” Vince asked with some concern.
“What are you worried about? Vince, I told you. Ever since your attempt to kill Lucas failed, to Tyson, it was already impossible for you to bee the family’s helmsman. He would definitely try all ways to ostracize you and push you away from that position.
“You and I both know very well what kind of a person Tyson is! He has long been against the idea of making you the family head. If his son hadn’t bee a fool and was no longer able to succeed as helmsman, he wouldn’t have been willing to give up the position of successory to you!
“Moreover, even if everyone in the family knows that you’re the only person petent enough to be the helmsman in the future, he will still set conditions for you, such as killing Lucas Gray. This way, he will have hundreds of excuses to stop you from reaching that position.
“Besides, he’s calling me now to make me act as cannon fodder and help him fight Lucas Gray. I’d be a fool to answer his call and listen to his orders!
“If he has something against me and wants to punish me, then he can wait until he survives Lucas Gray’s attack! Hehe!”
Thomas patiently analyzed the situation with his son, and he even chuckled like the sly old fox he was.
After hearing what his father said, Vince was suddenly enlightened. At the same time, he felt even more respect for his aged father.
Indeed, the older, the wiser!

He was still too inexperienced pared to his father!
“Dad, I know. That old man Tyson is unwilling to hand over the position of helmsman to me. Even if we try our best to cooperate with him today, he’ll probably e up with all sorts of reasons to hinder me later.
“In that case, why should we help him? Let’s just sit here and watch a good show. Once he and Lucas Gray are both injured, we’ll step forward and reap the benefits. Haha!”
Vince had excitement all over his face.
Thomas nodded. “Also, the fact that Tyson suddenly called me so anxiously means that Lucas Gray and his subordinate have already brought him a lot of pressure. He might already be at his wits’ end.
“That’s why he’s so impatient for me to intervene. First, he wants me to help him bear the brunt of Lucas’s attack, and second, he wants to exhaust my manpower and power. Hmph, how could I possibly do what he wants?
“Regardless of who wins, be it Lucas or Tyson, we’ll have room to maneuver and e up with countermeasures. We’ll be the final winners!”

Vince had joy written all over his face. But when he thought of the bat power Lucas showed in the Maestro International Hotel, he couldn’t help worrying.
Lucas wasn’t someone who could be easily provoked…
“Dad, do you think we should think of a way to save Maddy Stone? This way, if Lucas Gray wins, we can ask him for a few favors in exchange for saving her,” Vince suddenly asked.
