The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 595

Lawrence stared at him for a few seconds.

Then he spoke, his voice low but every word crisp and clear.

"Who he is isn't important. What's important is you know who you are."

Christian froze.

What did that mean?

"Who I am?" he repeated. "I'm your son. The heir to the Lancaster family. The CEO of the Lancaster Group."

Lawrence didn't speak; he just kept looking at him.

A wave of indescribable frustration suddenly washed over Christian. His father's gaze made him uncomfortable. It wasn't anger or disappointment. It was a look that said he was observing something he had no intention of voicing.

"Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I'm not trying to say anything." Lawrence picked up a pen from his desk, twirled it, and set it back down. "I'm just reminding you to stop looking into Julian St. Claire. Digging further won't do you any good."

"Won't do me any good, or won't do the Lancaster family any good?"

Lawrence's expression darkened. "Is there a difference?"

Christian didn't respond.

The office fell silent for a few seconds. Lawrence leaned back in his chair and changed the subject.

"How old are you this year?"

Christian blinked. "Twenty-eight."

"Twenty-eight. It's time to settle down."

"Dad—"

"Don't tell me you still want Lyra Langford," Lawrence's voice hardened. "That woman deceived the entire Lancaster family and tried to force someone else's son onto you, and you still want to keep seeing her?"

Christian remained silent.

"You refuse to meet any of the women I introduce to you. You keep pushing it off. What is your deal? Do you still want her?"

"I said, you don't need to worry about my personal life."

"I don't need to worry?" Lawrence's voice rose. "You are my son. If I don't worry about your affairs, who will?"

Christian stood up.

"I have no interest in any of the people you introduce."
