At this moment, Rodney Rhodes couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Fortunately, he had made Evelyn Lucas hide away, forbidding her from showing herself.
Thinking of that wife of his, although he was largely satisfied, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed by her decision-making and ignorance.
She knew clearly what would happen once she appeared in A City.
Yet she dared to follow him in ignorance.
“Mr. Cooper, rest assured, I will certainly admonish my wife when I return,” said Rodney, as the President, bowing to the head of the Lucas family.
This was the result of the disparity in power.
Aidan Lucas’s tone was cold and indifferent as he responded with an ‘Mm’, then ended his conversation with Rodney Rhodes.
One could see that the man who had just walked away was instantly surrounded by other guests.
Rodney Rhodes’s gaze quickly displayed a hint of maliciousness.
Aidan Lucas… he simply did not take him, Rodney Rhodes, into consideration.
Fine, he would wait and see.
He would see how the haughty head of the Lucas family would continue to put on airs after their scandals were exposed and their reputations had been destroyed!
…
Aidan Lucas, holding a glass of red wine, was surrounded by people.
Although he seemed to be casually chatting with a few business magnates in front of him, his gaze stayed on Rodney Rhodes’s side.
Thinking of the news they had received from the black market these past few days,
The corner of Aidan Lucas’s thin lips had a more pronounced curve.
The drug known as ‘ka-82-ti’ was a failed product from the black market’s last research.
Later, due to special needs from the military, the black market had transported six batches, totaling sixty ‘ka-82-ti’ pills, to the military.
Not long ago, during a routine drug efficacy test,
Researchers from the black market discovered that the military’s batch of pills had mysteriously decreased by a batch.
Ten pills were missing.
Due to this, the military had undergone some internal adjustment.
It was also this matter that had let Aidan Lucas find out the possible whereabouts of those ten pills.
Presidential Palace, First Lady, Mrs. Evelyn Lucas…
Well, she had certainly reached far.
Just as Aidan Lucas was preparing to quietly wait and see what kind of tricks those people would play,
An unexpected figure appeared at the entrance of the second-floor staircase of the banquet hall.
Hannah Ford was wearing a pink off-the-shoulder dress tonight.
The well-tailored dress made her look even more delicate and inviting for sympathy.
Her slender, barely graspable waist, along with those pitiful clear eyes seemingly filled with held back tears,
Under soft and elegant makeup, and her dark lustrous long hair, she appeared lively and charming, yet endearing and adorable.
“So, she is the young lady of the Ford family… No wonder Mr. Cooper is so infatuated with her.”
Some people around seemed to have recognized Hannah Ford and couldn’t help but sigh.
Under everyone’s gaze, Hannah took steps and slowly approached Aidan Lucas.
“Ethan… I finally see you again.”
Upon seeing Aidan Lucas, Hannah bit her lower lip, as if enduring a thousand grievances in her heart.
If it weren’t for the other people here, she really wanted to throw herself directly into Aidan Lucas’s arms.
But she couldn’t. She had to make the other guests see how differently she treated Aidan Lucas.
She had to make others see how he actively took care and showed concern for her.
Just as she had expected, Aidan Lucas’s deep, cold voice spoke, “What you’re wearing around your neck…”
Aidan Lucas’s emotions were more complicated than Hannah expected.
Ever since he had suspected Hannah last time, he had investigated her privately.
The results of the investigation had already started to make him suspicious. It was for this reason he could let go and let her face the consequences when she was hell-bent on causing her own ruin.
But now…
Hannah was wearing that necklace, which held great significance to him!
