Chapter 1337: Chapter 1334: Cold Heart, Revived Again

“Benjamin Lucas IX, do you know why Mason Scott was sent to the hospital?”

“I know, Mr. Lucas had someone teach him a lesson.”

“Heh.” Aidan Lucas chuckled softly this time, his voice casual as he spoke, “I didn’t have someone teach him a lesson, I just employed a few hounds.”

“Hounds?” Benjamin Lucas IX widened his eyes.

“Yes, a few male dogs in heat that had been drugged. I simply locked them in with Mason Scott for one night.”

“What!!!” Benjamin Lucas IX was utterly shocked.

He finally understood why Mr. Lucas was so fearless.

The only son of Christopher Scott, a man in his forties, was actually done in by several male dogs!

No wonder, the Scott family wouldn’t speak of it, nor would Nolan Lucas dare to use this incident as leverage.

Whoever dared to exploit this event would be declaring direct war against the Scott family!

“Brilliant, truly brilliant. Mr. Lucas, your move was ruthless. Even more ruthless than beating Mason Scott half to death… Now, Mason Scott has to suffer in silence, not daring to make a sound.”

Benjamin Lucas IX stroked his chin in admiration.

“However, Mr. Lucas, doing this has deeply offended that old man, Christopher Scott. Though he is the Young Lady’s great-grandfather, he is also Nolan Lucas’s fiancee’s great-grandfather. Mr. Scott still has many old connections in the military. If he teams up with Theodore Lucas…”

“Benjamin, as the saying goes, a man does not offend a tiger’s intention, but a tiger can still mean to harm. If Christopher Scott isn’t too senile yet, he should realize that Mason Scott had this coming all to himself. Had he not attacked Lily, I wouldn’t have needed to target him…”

Aidan Lucas sat on the sofa, his gaze indifferent and cold, “Larry Scott understands this very clearly and didn’t show up even when Mason was hospitalized. As for Christopher Scott, he wants to watch from the sidelines, wait for us to fight it out, and then choose his side. Such opportunistic behavior does not fit the nobility of Mr. Scott.”

“Mr. Lucas, you mean…” Benjamin, hidden behind gold-framed glasses, showed a questioning look.

“This incident will force him to choose a side early. Once he’s chosen, he can’t look around or be an opportunist,” Aidan Lucas’s eyes conveyed a chilling detachment.

“Mr. Lucas is right. Mr. Lucas wanted to reap the benefits without contributing; it’s too cheap for him. This way, if he doesn’t want to commit, then he might as well go to that illegitimate child. After all, with the Young Lady’s uncle around, plus your relationship with that man, even if Mr. Scott sides with them, it doesn’t matter.”

Aidan Lucas nodded slightly, glanced at his watch–it was about time.

He stood up, “Keep following up on the task I assigned you. I have other matters to attend to, I’ll leave now.”

“Mr. Lucas, in times like these, shouldn’t you take someone with…”

Benjamin had not finished speaking when he was silenced by a cold glare.

After Mr. Lucas left, Benjamin slowly shook his head.

Recently, Mr. Lucas became increasingly mysterious, always opting to go alone and often leaving him behind.

Ah, he sighed silently, could it be that he had fallen out of favor?

When Aidan Lucas returned to the secret manor, Lily had just gone through a fever and sweated it out.

She had changed into new clothes and was sitting on the bed, eating porridge.

As Aidan Lucas walked in, he saw the delicate woman awkwardly scooping porridge with her left hand.

“Only eating porridge?” he appeared suddenly, silently, almost startling Lily into spilling the porridge in front of her.

Lily steadied the bowl and looked up, “You’re back…”

The man did not respond, but continued to regard her with a cold and profound gaze.

Lily touched her face, “Is there something on my face?”

‘No’, Aidan Lucas thought.

Just a walk outside had made him think his heart could grow cold.

Yet upon returning, he found that reviving his heart was shockingly simple.

A single look was enough.
