CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1593

Ben didn’t back down. Instead, he lifted his gaze and said coldly, “Wasn’t it you? Or are you saying you did it but don’t even have the courage to admit it?”

Seeing how enraged his father was, Ben’s face remained calm, though his heart was heavy.

When he first uncovered the truth, he could hardly believe it.

Though their father-son relationship had always been distant, Ben had assumed that, as family, his father wouldn’t stoop to such underhanded tactics. Yet this incident slapped him in the face with harsh reality. It told him he was wrong.

“You—” His father was so furious he started coughing violently.

Ben’s mother, caught between the two, looked panicked. She hurried to comfort her husband while trying to get Ben to stop. “Don’t say any more. Your father has high blood pressure. He’ll make himself ill.”

Jamie noticed Ben’s fists clenching tightly. Without thinking, she reached out and placed her hand over his, a silent gesture of reassurance.

The tension in Ben’s posture eased slightly, though the icy atmosphere between the father and son remained palpable.

After a while, Mr. Lucas caught his breath and steadied himself, but his expression was still stormy.

His eyes, filled with suppressed anger, locked onto Ben. “Did you come back just to reprimand me?”

“More than reprimanding you, I want to know what you were thinking,” Ben said in a measured tone. “What could possibly drive you to do something so ruthless to your own son? Is the family business really worth this?”

“You’re my son,” Mr. Lucas retorted, his voice sharp. “If not you, then who will inherit Lucas Corporation?”

“There are plenty of cousins. Surely one of them can take over,” Ben countered, his tone unyielding.

Mr. Lucas let out a bitter laugh. “You think I’d entrust the empire I built with my own hands to someone else? Never.”

Mr. Lucas adjusted his collar, speaking with finality. “It’s done. You have no choice but to stay at Lucas Corporation now.”
