Chapter 1026: Chapter 1029: Mr. Lucas Gets Angry (Extra 1) Chapter 1026: Chapter 1029: Mr. Lucas Gets Angry (Extra 1) “Mr. Lucas, there has been a change of plans. The Young Lady voluntarily canceled her room reservation and got into a military department vehicle… Our men followed behind and discovered…”
Just as the Lucas family's private jet arrived in B City, Benjamin Lucas IX received the report from his subordinates.
His heart was in turmoil; speaking thus far, he could barely continue.
“Discovered what?” the man's underlying gloominess intensified over what it was just moments ago.
Originally, upon arriving in B City, he intended to corner the woman in her hotel room. But now, an unexpected development had occurred.
“Cough, Mr. Lucas… Our people discovered that the Young Lady was sent into… the villa area in the East District.”
The military department had developed a villa area in the East District, specifically for top-ranking generals and military families to reside in.
The security there was even stricter than in ordinary military zones, and even Aidan Lucas couldn't enter easily without a general's guidance and invitation.
“East District villas… Do you know whose home she went to?”
The number of generals who could live in the East District villa area could be counted on one's fingers.
But to find out which general's home the woman went to was not an easy task.
“We don't know yet…” Benjamin Lucas IX shook his head.
Indeed, they had made many preparations in B City, but the Lucas family's influence in the military had not yet penetrated the highest echelons.
If anything, it was Commander Scott, who they had dealt with a few years ago, initially had conflicts with, and later proactively made amends with, that had some connections with them.
“Shall we ask the Scott family to help us find out?”
Benjamin Lucas IX's suggestion was a good one.
It's just…
Aidan Lucas remembered how Mason Scott, Larry Scott's father, had recently cozied up to the Lucas family.
He also recalled that Larry Scott's elder daughter had attended the last matchmaking banquet. Aidan Lucas did not want to give Mason Scott or the Scott family the wrong impression.
He had no interest in other women; naturally, he was also unwilling to owe the Scott family a favor.
“No need to involve the Scott family.”
The man's voice was cold and stern in refusal, with a fury in his heart just on the verge of breaking loose.
No wonder the woman dared to run.
He had truly thought she was just eager to come over and see her son.
But as it turned out, she actually had an appointment with another man.
Aidan Lucas's handsome features were now entirely overshadowed by frost.
Good, very good…
The woman, truly becoming more capable by the day…
A deep, cold darkness stained the man's black and enigmatic deep eyes.
Since it's come to this, for the sake of his woman, the trump card, hidden within the military department and unknown to all, had to be revealed in advance.

Meanwhile, Lily and Sadie had already arrived at Richard Coldwell's villa in the East District.
This villa belonged to the Coldwell family.
Richard Coldwell's father, though nearing retirement, currently still holds the highest position in the military department.
The best villa in the East District naturally belonged to him.
However, despite being an extremely well-located and safe property, the Coldwell family rarely lived there.
This villa was often left vacant, only used by Richard Coldwell when he returned to the country.
At this very moment, Lily was in the Coldwell family's villa meeting with Richard Coldwell.
“Mr. Coldwell, where are Abbie and Lulu?”
Upon seeing Richard Coldwell, Lily immediately asked anxiously about the whereabouts of the two children.
Sadie had been stopped outside by the Coldwell family's guards.
In the study, Richard Coldwell sat motionless behind the desk, his tall and imposing figure unyielding.
Lily's agitation had no effect on him whatsoever.
“Sit,” Richard Coldwell said indifferently to her, “Miss Redington, you've been avoiding me for over a year. Finally, we have the opportunity to sit down and talk about serious matters.”
“You don't need to worry. Once we're done discussing our business, I'll let you see the children.”
