Lucas could tell clearly that the Brookes were only agreeing to submit to him on the surface, but in reality, they were just out to use his influence and power to strengthen themselves.

In fact, it wasn’t difficult to guess their mindset. They merely thought that Lucas’s current ability was not enough for him to compete with a big family like the Huttons.

In their eyes, the Stardust Corporation was merely doing well in Orange County because of the prestige of the Huttons. Once Lucas chose to go against the Huttons in the future, he wouldn’t have the slightest advantage or chance of winning at all. They felt that he was just being delusional by thinking that he could win against a family that was far stronger than him.

Lucas’s other identity could not be easily exposed, so there was no way he could use it as deterrence either.

However, Lucas wasn’t worried. He still had enough time to make both the Stardust Corporation and the Brilliance Corporation quickly expand into astonishing enterprises. By then, he would have greater chips.

At five in the afternoon, Lucas went to the entrance of the Brilliance Corporation as usual to pick Cheyenne up after work. But at this moment, he received a text from Cheyenne. “Lucas, I’m very busy today. I have to work overtime until late at night. Please go and pick Amelia up first.”

Lucas imagined the scene of Cheyenne being busy in the general manager’s office attentively and couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. He tapped away on his phone to reply. “Okay, got it. I’ll send Amelia home and pick you up again at night. Take care of your health. Don’t tire yourself out.”

By the time Lucas drove to the kindergarten, it was the peak hour for parents to pick their children up after school.

He looked at the entrance of the kindergarten for a while but didn’t see Amelia, so he asked a teacher at the door, “Hello, is Amelia still inside?”

During this period of time, Lucas had been fetching Amelia home from the kindergarten every day, so the teacher knew who he was. Hearing his question, the teacher couldn’t help but ask in bewilderment, “Huh? Amelia’s aunt came to pick her up ten minutes ago. Haven’t you guys discussed it?”

“So her aunt came to pick her up today. I really didn’t know. Sorry to trouble you!”

Lucas turned around and walked back to his black Jaguar. He was about to open the door to get in and go home, but he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Logically speaking, he and Cheyenne had been going to pick Amelia up every day, and he knew that Charlotte wouldn’t pick her up without telling him. Besides, Cheyenne had texted him to tell him to pick Amelia up, so he reckoned that she wouldn’t have told Charlotte to pick her up instead.

At the thought of this, Lucas immediately picked up his phone and called Charlotte. “Did you pick Amelia up at the kindergarten just now?”

Charlotte was a little stunned. “No, I’m busy with some things in the office now, and I haven’t gotten off work yet. Lucas, do you want me to go pick up Amelia? I’ll be there as soon as I finish packing up.” On the other end, there was the sound of someone typing on the keyboard. Clearly, she was still in the office.

Lucas’s heart stopped for a moment. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. An icy-cold aura abruptly emanated from his body, and there was also a terrifying glint in his eyes.
