The pain and despair from being blindfolded and stuffed into a sack by the kidnappers haunted Lucas’s mind like a permanent shadow.
“Mom, please spare some pity for Zoe… and for me,” Lucas said quietly as he shook his head, ready to leave.
He believed there were other ways to save Emily without involving the tangled money issues.}
The disappointment in Lucas’s eyes made Sandra flustered.
She vaguely sensed where she had gone wrong, but hadn’t she only wanted to make her son’s life better?”
She had held onto the ransom money tightly, careful not to spend it all, and even secretly invested some into the company.
Seeing Lucas about to walk away, Sandra hurried to grab his arm.
“Don’t you want to save Emily? Where else do you have so much money to do that?“}
Lucas shook off her hand firmly.
“Even if I sell my shares and kneel before Mr. Bennett, I refuse to use Zoe’s money to save another woman.“}
He was deeply disappointed by his mother and felt ashamed to use the money she guarded so jealously.
“No! What will happen if the company is gone? You’re going to be a father soon–you can’t afford to lose everything, can you?” Sandra urged.
“Zoe is dead! Why do you still care about her so much?” Lucas ignored her yelling and walked straight toward the door.”
“All of this is for your own good! Don’t you understand your mother’s suffering to get you this far?” Sandra cried, watching his retreating figure, desperate to stop him.
Lucas paused, then turned with pain flickering in his eyes.}
“Mom, are you really thinking about me? Or just clinging to money and your status?”
He knew his mother loved money, but had always thought it was a product of her hard life.”
“Mr. Bennett, if you will withdraw your complaint against Emily, I am willing to give you all His palms were sweaty, and his hands clenched tightly.
my
shares.”
Zachary sat with a bandage on his forehead, glaring with contempt.
He knew Sandra flaunted her identity as the mother of a company director in public. Though it complicated his life, she was still his mother.
Lucas sighed deeply, confused and lost.
He didn’t wait for a response and left.”
He headed straight to Zachary’s company. After being ushered into Zachary’s office, he bowed low and apologized.} Taking full responsibility, he offered to make amends with his company.”

“Your company? I remember it was Zoe who contributed the most.”
Lucas’s mind flashed to the scene when Zachary’s men had taken me away.
“Why did you take Zoe? Do you know-” Lucas began to complain, but Zachary cut him off.
“She said she wanted to go to the airport. I helped her. It was her own choice.“}
Zachary sighed heavily.
“But before she left, she said some things about you. Want to hear?“>
Lucas’s anxiety spiked. “What did she say?”
Zachary laughed coldly.
“Why should I tell you? I’ll give you a choice. Do you want what Zoe said, or do you want to save Emily?”
Lucas was silent, head lowered, pondering.
What could Zoe have said to Zachary that mattered so much?
Not giving him time to think further, Zachary continued impatiently.

“You don’t love Zoe that much, do you? Ten years together, no marriage, and you ended up marrying your secretary?”

“Your secretary cried for a long time. She’s pregnant, right? Pregnant women can’t handle stress well. If no one protects her, she’ll have to give birth in prison.“D
Zachary shrugged, unconcerned.
Lucas’s heart dropped. How could Emily suffer so much while pregnant?}
“I choose Emily. Please release her!” Lucas pleaded anxiously.
Zachary chuckled darkly, then waved someone over.
“Take him away.“D
Lucas didn’t understand Zachary’s final laugh but felt relieved hearing those words. Emily would be saved!!
He hurried to the place Zachary indicated. Thanks to Zachary’s influence, the police quickly brought Emily out.
Stumbling into Lucas’s arms, Emily looked at him with a mixture of grievance and anger.
“Lucas! All this is Zoe and Zachary’s doing! They’re out to get me. You must help me get revenge!“}]
