Linda Slater’s eyes widened in disbelief. "How… how do you know all this?"
Lucas looked at her as if she were a fool. "Was your identity that hard to uncover?"
Linda's face instantly drained of color, and her body seemed to lose all strength.
She stared blankly ahead.
It's over… everything is over.
She had thought that if she just denied everything, she would be fine, and her family would be safe. But Lucas was far more terrifying than she had imagined!
Her family, who could be used as leverage by the man behind all this, could just as easily become pawns in Lucas' hands!
Lucas watched her expression and said calmly, "It looks like you've finally figured it out."
Linda closed her eyes, and after a long pause, she spoke, "I'll talk. You can punish me however you want, but please, spare my family. They are innocent."
Lucas replied, "Start talking."
Tears streamed down Linda's face as she pleaded, "Mr. Tudor, I beg you, please let them go."
Lucas’ sharp and handsome face held a hint of mockery. "I'm not a philanthropist. Your tears won’t suddenly inspire me to go out and save the needy. If you don't have anything valuable to say, the Slater family will be erased from Cloudflare City."
His voice was deep and magnetic, calm and measured, but with every word, a sense of intense pressure filled the room, dropping the temperature by several degrees.
Selena leaned closer to Aveline, whispering, "Is this the infamous CEO aura?"
Aveline’s lips twitched slightly as she looked at her. "Doesn’t Mr. Fletcher act like this?"
"Him?" Selena scoffed. "He's just an idiot."
Aveline was speechless.
