Looking at his hostile gaze, Lucas subconsciously took a step back.
“Mr.Howard, you and I have nothing to talk about.”
Lucas quickly turned to leave, but Thomas’ next words stopped him.
“You and I have nothing much to say, but you sure have lots to say to Adrian Morrison.”
Thomas’ gaze turned sharpgradually.
“Does Brettley know that you’re contacting Adrian behind his back? If I were to tell Brettley right nowthat his assistant is secretly contacting Adrian Morrison and even asking Adrian to be careful…guess what the consequences would be?”
Lucas’ face paled instantly.
He bit his lip, turned around, Eu’lgjv< said in a low voice, "What do you want?" "I want to buy you coffee."
Thomas raised his hand and pointed at thecafe far away.
He gave a fake smile.”
I’m sure it must be tiring being Brettley’s assistant.
I’ll buy you a coffee to perk you up.
I’m sure you won’t say no to that, right?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes at Thomas’ words.
After a long silence, he nodded in the end and walked over to the cafe.
He was afraid that Thomas might tell Brettley about the phone call a moment ago.
Brettley hated betrayals.
He hated the betrayals of the people he trusted the most.
Previously, during the incident with the doctor, Lucas had already betrayed Brettley once and was caught.
This time, if Brettley found out that he had been secretly in touch with Adrian all this while…
Lucas did not dare to imagine if he would still have the chance to work forBrettley.
Soon, they were seated at the corner of the cafe.
“Mr.
Lucas looked up at Thomas seriously. “If there is anything you need my help with, tell me.”
Of course, he knew that Thomas had takensuch a huge effort to see him.
It was not purely to chat with him.
He did not have the time to chat with him either.
Looking at Lucas’ serious face, Thomas narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “I overheard some of your conversation with Adrian Morrison a moment ago.”
He loweredhis head and stirred the cup of coffee, calmly adding, “Does Brettley have a bad relationship with Adrian?”
Before seeing Lucas that day, he did not know that Brettley had such a terrible relationship with his father.
He did research it before, of course.
The outside world has always said that Brettley and Adrian did not have a good relationship.
He also found out that Brettley has publicly condemned Adrian before.
However, when he asked Malcolm about this, Malcolm said a different story.
“What we see is what Brettley wants us to see.
He always told the public that he didn’t have a good relationship with his father, but it’s not important tolisten to what they say.
We have to see what they did.
“Look, you have conflicts with your father, which is why you never live together, but Brettley and Adrian had always been under the same roof.
A year ago, Brettley even gave Adrian a few million dollars to live out his old age.
How could that be a’ bad relationship’?”.
Back then, Thomas thought it made sense.
After all, he did not get along well with his father.
Any father-son relationship which turned sour should be the same way.
Brettley, on the other hand, said that he did not have a good relationship with Adrian, but he still stayed under the same roof with Adrian while giving him money.
Thus, Thomas lumped Brettley on the same team as Adrian.
However, the words that Lucas spoke were different from what he thought.
“Their relationship can’t be defined as bad.”
Lucas furrowed his brow, picked up his cup of coffee, and took asip.
“Their relationship is terrible.
Mr.Morrison’s mother died in labor.
Ever since then, his father disliked him An%}hxl> thought that”
=””> his birth was the cause of his mother’s death.Morrison grew up with the hatred of his father.
Later on…”
Lucas sighed and told Thomas everything he knew in a low voice, including about Michael Morrison and Granny Morrison.
“Mr.Morrison is quite pitiful.
He was brought up by Granny Morrison, and ever since she passed away, the closest people to him are his wife andhis children.
For the past year, Bethan had a misunderstanding with Mr.Morrison for some reason…”
Then, Lucas looked up at Thomas.
“Mr.Howard, I only know this much.”
At that moment, Lucas’ phone rang.
It was from Brettley.
“I have to get to work.”
After hanging up the call, Lucas looked at Thomas seriously.
“I hope whatever I said will change your views on Mr.Morrison.
He really isn’t what you think to be.”
Then, Lucas left.
Thomas sat in the chair, looking at Lucas leaving.
His gaze gradually darkened.
“What is Lucifer doing recently?” said Thomas into the phone as he walked out of the cafe. Lucifer Howard was the new name he gave Malcolm when theymade a deal.
After all, back then, Malcolm had been kicked out of Merchant City by the Quinn family, and he could not possiblystay in Merchant City with his original identity.
Thus, Thomas gave him a name and a fake identity.
Lucifer thus followed him and his management company team to Merchant City.
