Chapter 373 Everyone Chooses a Side
Mary froze.
Poisoned? An attempted murder? Had she scolded them wrongly just now?
But even if they were saving someone, did they really have to make such a massive scene?
In the end, it was still their fault!
She was only worried about Noelle!

Noelle ended the call inside the car. Her expression didn’t change, and she clearly had no intention of dwelling on what Mary had said.
She was already deeply disappointed in Mary and no longer expected anything resembling motherly love.
She couldn’t even be bothered to argue.
Turning to Sebastian, she spoke calmly. “Grandpa knows now. Alina is bringing people over to help. They should arrive soon.”
Sebastian nodded. His gaze remained icy, his entire presence sharp and oppressive.
Noelle’s phone rang again as soon as she finished speaking.
She glanced at the screen. “It’s Lucas.”
She answered.
Lucas’s voice burst through immediately. “Noey! You’re at Menzie Estate, right? I heard Sebastian brought people to surround the Menzies? Wait there. I’m on my way right now. I don’t care what it’s about. I’ll back you up first. This kind of moment, I have to be there!”
The same careless tone as always, but this time there was unmistakable seriousness underneath.
Noelle rarely smiled, but the corner of her lips lifted slightly. “Yeah. We’re here.”
“Good, Wait for me!”
Lucas hung up without another word.
As soon as Lucas ended the call, he waved his arm toward the dozens of men already gathered in the yard. “Guys! Get in the cars! We’re going to Menzie Estate. We’re backing up Sebastian!”
The group surged forward, about to get in.
Just then, a black sedan sped in and stopped sideways in front of the convoy, blocking the way.
The door opened. Brandon stepped out, his face dark with anger.
He’d already heard about Sebastian surrounding the Menzie Estate. The moment he learned of it, he thought of Lucas and rushed

over. As expected, this kid was heading out to help.
“Lucas! Stop right there?”

Brandon shouted angrily, his chest heaving, “Sebastian has made a huge spectacle of this. Publicly leading people to surround his own family’s estate, using such extreme methods. No matter the reason, his reputation in Kingstowne is finished His future is finished. What are you doing getting involved now? Do you want to ruin yourself with him? Do you want to drag the Steeles down with you and make us a laughingstock?”
Lucas stopped short, the usual careless grin gone as he looked at his father standing in front of the car. “Sebastian is my best friend,” he said, his voice steady. “He needs people right now, so I’m going. I don’t care what’s waiting for me. I don’t care if it costs me my name or my future. This is my fight, and I’m standing with him to the end.”
“You ungrateful bastard!” Brandon pointed at him, his finger trembling. “Do you even have this family in your eyes? Do you even have me as your father?”
“Family?” Lucas let out a short, bitter laugh. “If you think my going will disgrace the Steele family, then forget that you have a son like me.”
He said it lightly, but the words struck Brandon like a hammer.
Brandon completely lost control. “Fine! Fine! You said it yourself! Do you think I care about a troublemaker like you? Don’t forget, I have another son. He’s a hundred times more obedient and sensible than you. From today on, we’re cutting ties as father and son. Get out!”
The mocking smile on Lucas’s face deepened.
Right.
He had a better son. One who listened and behaved. Lucas was nothing.
That was fine.
“Alright, old man,” Lucas said softly. Under the dim streetlights, his face flickered between light and shadow. “Then as you wish. From now on, you don’t have a son like me.”
He didn’t look back. Lucas got into the driver’s seat and started the engine.
The blocked convoy immediately rerouted, driving around Brandon’s car.”
Brandon stood there, watching Lucas’s car pull away decisively, followed by the long line of vehicles. He trembled with rage, yet there was nothing he could do.
How had he raised such a rebellious son?
Several black SUVS and flashy sports cars arrived at the outskirts of Menzie Estate almost at the same time.
