Chapter 1579: Chapter 1582: Hearing the Name ’Austin Lucas,’ It Feels Like a Stranger (Add More 4)

Sebastian Lucas VII himself is the head of the seventh branch and naturally knows the loyalty that each branch head should uphold.

Despite this, he spoke with a stern face, "Madam... Those shareholders have all met Theodore Lucas. Moreover, among the nine branch heads, four have also accepted Theodore’s visit."

"Four... How is that possible?!"

This time, Emily Taylor’s eyes revealed a shock even stronger than when she heard Simon Taylor had betrayed her.

"Are they trying to rebel? They even dare to defy the family rules of the Lucas family!" Emily’s gentle look disappeared from her eyes.

After all, having been Mrs. Lucas for decades, she calmed her expression and slammed her palm on the table fiercely, exuding a commanding presence.

"There must be secrets behind this."

Sebastian voiced his suspicions, "Every branch head, upon inheriting their position, has sworn an oath to be loyal to the main family for generations."

"If they secretly accepted Theodore’s meeting, it’s likely because Theodore has something on them that they can’t contend with..."

Upon hearing Sebastian’s speculation, Lily also frowned and pondered deeply.

"No, it might not necessarily be so."

She suddenly remembered what Madam Lucas had told her once.

The heads of various branches of the Lucas family, each have their distinct temperament.

Those who ascend to the position of branch head are not easily blackmailed by Theodore Lucas.

Moreover, how could Theodore just happen to have leverage on four branch heads at the same time, neither earlier nor later?

"Sebastian, who are the four branch heads that met with Theodore Lucas?"

"Caleb Lucas IV, Daniel Lucas V, Nolan Lucas VI, and Felix Lucas VIII," Sebastian calmly listed the names of these branch heads.

Upon hearing ’Caleb Lucas IV’, Lily’s heart skipped a beat.

"Is the head of Caleb Lucas IV’s family still Brandon Lucas?"

"Yes, still Brandon Lucas," Sebastian nodded.

"However, Brandon has mostly stepped back in the past two years. The real power in Caleb Lucas IV now lies with his son... Austin Lucas."

Both Emily Taylor and Sebastian knew about Lily’s past relationship with Austin Lucas.

Sebastian carefully uttered the name ’Austin Lucas,’ fearing the Young Lady might harbor some resentment.

Yet Lily merely nodded nonchalantly, as if the name ’Austin Lucas’ was just a stranger to her.

"If that’s the case, I guess Theodore didn’t use leverage to threaten them. I don’t know about others, but I understand Brandon and his son, they’ve always been ambitious, I guess Theodore must have offered them substantial benefits."

Speaking of this, Lily looked at Emily Taylor, "By the way, mom, before I came back Mr. Wellington told Ethan Wilson and me that Theodore boasted he has something on Ethan."

"I’m not sure if his so-called leverage really exists or if it’s just a bluff, but I believe that even if he did not reveal it to Mr. Wellington, he must have disclosed it to these partners."

Several shareholders at the Royal Palace, and the four branch heads who accepted Theodore’s visit.

Lily didn’t believe that among these people, none knew what Theodore’s trump card was.

"He has something on Ethan...?"

For some reason, hearing that sentence, Emily felt her heartbeat speeding up.

"No, that can’t be... It’s been so many years, if he really had something on Ethan, he should have used it by now."

Seeing the worried look on Emily’s face, Lily quickly comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry. Starting from tomorrow, I will have Sebastian accompany me to visit the shareholders and all branch heads. Rest assured, no matter what, I will certainly obtain their support for Ethan."
