Chapter 1240

When Lucas helped me in the past, he requested my help in return. He did not want me to feel guilty, so he said he needed my help to strengthen his standing. I thought he was just joking, but I never expected him to contact Charles in private. He even knew that Charles worked for me. I asked Charles, “How did you handle him?” “Naturally, I accepted it.” Charles then explained, “Lucas’s talent is unmatched. It doesn’t mean that Zachary and I are worse than him. He just has a better business acumen, which we lack. I didn’t decline his offer because it would be beneficial to corporate with him. I’m just calling to inform you about this. Just in case if you said I acted without reporting.” I made a hypothesis and asked, “You never requested my opinion earlier, nor did you verify it with me. Aren’t you already acting without informing? What if I said I’m not cooperating with Lucas?” Charles sneered after hearing me. “Are you saying that Lucas deceived me?” I never meant it that way
