Chapter 443



Just as Verena opened her mouth to speak, Lucas’ phone rang abruptly.

Lucas rose to his feet, answering the call as he strode toward the door.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

It was Gordon on the other end of the line.

Gordon’s tone was cautious. “Mr. Clark, just now…”

“Ms. Wright contacted me.

She instructed me to collect all your documents in her hospital room.

She also warned that if I didn’t get there to collect them within an hour, she would…

She would…”

Lucas’ expression darkened immediately.

His piercing gaze sharpened as he asked in a low, tense voice, “She would do what?”

“She would throw all the documents into the trash,” Gordon said hesitantly.

Lucas’ expression darkened even further.

Just great!

gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s․cøm fuels your imagination The simmering anger in Lucas’ chest blazed even hotter now.

“Go there and retrieve those documents for me immediately!” he ordered through gritted teeth.

Even over the phone, Gordon could tell how furious Lucas was.

“Yes, Mr. Clark,” Gordon quickly replied.

Lucas hung up the phone.

Standing there, he exuded a cold aura.

After several seconds of standing motionless, he took a deep breath and returned to Verena’s hospital room.

Verena could immediately tell something was wrong when Lucas entered the room. “What’s wrong, Lucas?” she asked.

“It’s nothing. Just work issues,” Lucas replied.

After a short pause, he added, “You should get some rest. I need to head back to the office now.”

Although unwilling to let Lucas leave, Verena nodded and replied, “Okay. You should go. Work is important.”

Without offering a response, Lucas turned and took his leave.

He headed to the elevator and then down to the parking garage.

He got inside his car and drove to the company.

The next day, Harold instructed Lucas to visit Belinda at the hospital.

Lucas agreed but didn’t go himself.
