Chapter 364:
And with that, he turned and left the room.
Verena’s head snapped in the direction where Lucas had left, disbelief etched across her face.
She had only said those words out of pride, hoping he would stay.
She had never thought he would actually leave.
Anger and despair washed over her like a wave.
All she had wanted was for Lucas to hold her, to tell her he still wanted her, not some cold promise of justice.
Back at the company, Lucas strode into his office, his expression unreadable.
Not long after, Gordon entered the room, his face grim.
“Mr. Clark, Bradly has confessed,” Gordon said. “He said he has held a grudge against you for years.
Ever since…
Well, past incidents.
He was waiting for the right moment to get his revenge.
After those photos of you and Miss Reed were leaked online, he assumed you held her in high esteem.

So he chose her as his target. ”
Lucas’ eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass. “And what was his original plan?”
Gordon hesitated for a moment, his unease palpable. “He…
He was going to send people to rape Miss Reed.
He was going to record it and then send the video to you.”
When Lucas heard Gordon’s words, his expression darkened.
He then let out a curt, icy laugh. “They’ve really got guts, don’t they?”
“Thankfully, our people arrived in time. Otherwise…” Gordon’s voice trailed off, leaving the grim alternative unspoken.
Lucas frowned, irritation flickering across his face.
Once again, Verena had been dragged into his troubles.
He owed her another one now.
When would he ever be able to repay her?
The thought frustrated him deeply.
After a moment of silence, his gaze sharpened. “Investigate Bradly thoroughly,” he ordered.
Gordon immediately grasped the implication of Lucas’ words.
He asked, “Mr. Clark, do you think Bradly might also have been manipulated by someone?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes, his tone measured. “It’s a possibility. Better to be cautious than regretful.”
