Chapter 1023: Chapter 1026: Control Freakery Strikes Chapter 1023: Chapter 1026: Control Freakery Strikes “Check the locator on Lily's cell phone. By dawn, I want you to dispatch someone to lock down her whereabouts,” he ordered.
He now felt immensely relieved because his intense need to control had compelled him to secretly implant a locator in her cell phone.
“As you wish, Mr. Lucas. I'm on it right now,” the subordinate replied.
After Benjamin had left, the man sat alone on the sofa in his condominium.
The entire room descended into deathly silence.
The man's elegant thin lips were firmly pressed together, his long, narrow eyes expressing a chilling, ruthless tenacity.
Lily… why did she flee?
Silent for three days, was staying by his side truly so unbearable for her?
Aidan Lucas thought about the arrangements he had made, intentionally meeting Emily Taylor in advance.
Enduringly, he accompanied Emily for meals, walks, and conversations.
For her, he was even willing to personally resolve the conflicts for her with another person.
But Lily Redington… this detestable woman had unexpectedly escaped from his side!
A dangerously violent emotion roiled within him.
If he weren't afraid that a complete outburst might lead him to harm her, he would have liked to find her himself, then press the disobedient woman against the wall, grab her by the throat, and demand an answer to why she did it.
An hour later, Benjamin returned.
“Mr. Lucas, I've located the Young Lady. She's now in B City, staying at a hotel near the Royal Military Academy. I have already arranged for our people there to follow up. Rest assured, Mr. Lucas, we won't let the Young Lady slip away again,” he reported.
Once Benjamin had confirmed Lily's location, a weight lifted slightly from his heart.
Thankfully, Miss Redington, who had a knack for creating trouble, had run off to B City to find the young master.
As soon as he found out she was staying at a hotel near the Military Academy, his concerns were somewhat alleviated.
Seeking the young master was far better than finding some other man.
Benjamin reported Lily's whereabouts to Aidan Lucas, hoping to see the sternness on the man's face soften a bit.
However, things didn't go as he anticipated.
The man's deep features carried an even colder aura than before, making his entire presence seem forbiddingly icy.
His voice low, he spoke with an almost indifferent tone, “Make arrangements. In one hour, we head to B City.”
“Mr… Mr. Lucas…”
Benjamin was taken aback.
Although Mr. Lucas had taken over the Speaker's position and originally planned to officially take office in B City one month later,
it was precisely for this reason that he had spent a considerable amount of effort and time dealing with numerous issues left behind in A City over the past few months.
That's not even mentioning Mr. Wellington's abrupt disappearance over a month ago, leaving the vast Wellington Business Empire in Mr. Lucas's hands, further burdening him.
Moreover, Mr. Lucas was now single-handedly managing real estate, construction projects, and even the newly developed entertainment industry and emerging technologies.
Some sectors had just completed integration and were at a crucial stage of setting sail.
The focus of the Lucas family was in A City. If Mr. Lucas were to leave now…
“Mr. Lucas, I've already arranged for supervision over there. If you truly can't be at ease, you could send Sebastian and Samuel McKinley… Perhaps we could still wait…”
You have fifty-nine minutes left to make arrangements.”
“Mr…,” Aidan's tone was frighteningly detached.
Benjamin gave in and dared not insist further, “Okay, okay. Please wait, Mr. Lucas, I'll make the arrangements right away.”
Benjamin left in a hurry.
Luckily, more than a year ago, when Mr. Lucas began his campaign for the Speaker's position, they had already slowly set up a place to stay and the necessary personnel in B City.
Otherwise, if Mr. Lucas suddenly decided to go there now, many things wouldn't be ready.
After Benjamin's departure, half an hour passed before Aidan Lucas left the condominium for the airport.
