He knew his son just as he knew himself.
The men in their family were generally good, but they had one weakness: they spent too much time and energy on women.
He himself was like that back in the day, which is why he had Austin and Zara.
As for his son…
Seeing that he could even abandon such a good daughter-in-law like Lily showed that he was just like his father.
Brandon sat on the sofa, secretly sighing in his heart. He wondered if Austin would ever regret his actions towards his first wife like he did.
Shaking off the messy thoughts in his head, Brandon said solemnly, ‘Austin, you know the current situation of the Royal Palace Group. Since your mother accidentally offended Mr. Lucas last time, we spent a large amount of our funds to save her from the black market. Now our Royal Palace Group is facing financial problems.”
“Now, the projects that were originally our responsibility have all been raised to higher standards. If we want to secure them, we must invest a large amount of capital to increase our competitiveness, but with the current situation of the Royal Palace Group… sigh…”
Every time Brandon mentioned this matter, he couldn’t help but want to kick Michelle out of the Lucas family’s mansion.
He shouldn’t have been blinded by greed and Michelle’s beauty back then, or else he wouldn’t have caused such a disaster.
Austin noticed the resentment on his father’s face towards his mother.
Although he also thought that Michelle had been reckless this time, she was still his mother. He could only try to placate his father.
“Dad, don’t worry about this. I have a solution. Just give me some more time, and 1 promise to sort everything out before the bidding deadline.”
“What possible solution could you have? In my opinion, you might as well take your mother to Mr. Lucas and apologize.”
“Dad, if Mr. Lucas was willing to see my mother, we wouldn’t be in this mess. As you said, you only get to see him once a year during the family gathering. It’s not that simple to see him. Just trust me this time, 1’11 find a way to fill the financial gap.”
“Really?” Brandon looked at him.
“Really.” Austin nodded.
“In that case, I’ll have to trust you.” Brandon sighed, knowing that he had already tried all the solutions he could think of. If Austin couldn’t do it, he would have no choice but to beg Mr. Lucas for help.
No sooner had he left the room than Austin locked the office door, and Vivian excitedly crawled out from under the table.
She had been hiding underneath, not even having time to put on her clothes, so when she crawled out, she was still a mess.
Austin looked at her disheveled appearance, a far cry from her usual purity, and couldn’t help but frown.
But Vivian didn’t care; she excitedly ran over and hugged him. “Austin, the Mr. Lucas you and your father were talking about…who is that? Is he very powerful?”
Austin subtly pulled some distance between them. “Yes, he is the head of the main Lucas family, Ethan Wilson. You must have heard of him.”
“So it’s him, Ethan Wilson…” Thinking of the man’s tall and extraordinary figure and his cold, handsome face, a trace of greed and envy flashed in Vivian’s eyes.
“What, do you know him?”
“No, I don’t know him. It’s your good ex-wife… She has now climbed up to Mr. Lucas.”
“Lily Gray? Are you sure?”
“Of course.” Vivian immediately told Austin about what had happened today.
After listening, a wicked smile appeared on Austin’s face, “This is just perfect.. 1 was worried about how to solve the Royal Palace Group’s troubles!”
