Chapter 589: Chapter 592: It hurts, my stomach hurts so much
“You…” Rodney Rhodes’s forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
He held his left arm and trembled, “Alright, Mr. Cooper, you are right. You were injured under my watch, and I owe you. But, but…”
“That girl inside, she’s from the Ford family, Miss Ford. Mr. Cooper, you publicly attempted homicide, even if incomplete, you cannot get away with this. I, as the president of a country, absolutely cannot tolerate this.”
His implication was that someone should arrest Aidan Lucas and bring him to justice.
Aidan Lucas sneered at him, “Arrest me? With just you?”
“You—I am the president of Eastonia, I…I…”
“Mr. President, please forget about it.” Orlando Lucas saw things more clearly than Rodney Rhodes. He came over and supported Rodney Rhodes, whispering, “Mr. Lucas now is not someone we can handle.”
A person who even Theodore Lucas couldn’t deal with, how could Rodney Rhodes alone possibly deal with him?
Rodney Rhodes was already stubbornly saving face, and when someone came to persuade him and give him a way out, he suddenly beat a retreat.
“Fine, forget it! For Orlando’s sake, I won’t argue with you. Let’s go, Orlando!”
Rodney Rhodes hurriedly left with his men.
Seeing the situation escalate like this, other guests were too scared to stay any longer.
Accusing Mr. Cooper of ‘attempted homicide’?
President Rodney Rhodes, the new president, was really a nutcase.
No wonder he could only flee in panic.
…
Everyone had scattered, and for a while, only Lily Gray, David Redington, Dylan Wellington, and others were left upstairs.
Only then did Lily Gray feel her panicky feeling subsiding somewhat.
She timidly reached out, trying to grasp Aidan Lucas.
But her small hand had just barely touched his sleeve when the man who was not paying attention to her, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, easily avoided her touch.
There was a thunk in the bottom of her heart.
For some unknown reason, Lily Gray unwillingly reached out again.
This time, in the hurry, she grabbed the corner of his unbuttoned shirt.
Aidan Lucas seemed to sense her touch, turned his head, and looked down at her from above.
Under his cold gaze, Lily Gray felt as if her heart had gone cold.
Aidan Lucas slightly narrowed his long, narrow eyes, didn’t say a word, just coldly scrutinized her.
David Redington, Skye Brown, and Joan Wellington, who were standing behind Lily, were all puzzled as to why he was acting this way.
Only Dylan Wellington quickly realized something.
But in that instant, before he could stop it-
Aidan Lucas’s deep, cold voice mercilessly rang out.
“Let go.”
Cold, deep, without a hint of emotion.
Lily Gray looked up in astonishment, disbelief flashing through her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Her small hand did not let go.
Instead, it gripped even tighter.
Aidan Lucas looked down at the hand that was tightly gripping his clothes.
“Dirty,” he spat out a word.
He then coldly shifted his gaze away.
Hearing his judgment, Lily Gray felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife.
“Aidan…”
She wanted to ask him, but she couldn’t even finish her sentence.
All she heard was a ‘slap’ as her hand was harshly hit by him.
Instantly, a red mark appeared on her fair and delicate hand.
It hurt…
The pain made her let go, and she could only watch, wide-eyed, as the man left without mercy.
“Lily… Lily, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me…”
Her belly, her belly was hurting too…
Skye was startled and, together with Joan, supported Lily Gray, whose body was slowly sinking, “Lily, Lily’s belly… Hurry, hurry to the hospital!”
[Author’s Note] Don’t panic, the baby will be fine. As for Mr. Lucas, some of you guessed it before, this is a major plot point that has been foreshadowed for a long time~
