Chapter 1203: Chapter 1206: A Substitute Has Already Emerged Beside Aidan Lucas Chapter 1203: Chapter 1206: A Substitute Has Already Emerged Beside Aidan Lucas “Don't think about controlling people's hearts, when the time is right, it's time to let Hannah Ford meet with Charles Coldwell.”
With Frank Chamberlain's methods, if he really wanted to arrange for Hannah Ford to meet Charles Coldwell, it wouldn't be a difficult task.
But he deliberately didn't help, instead letting Hannah find someone on her own, precisely to suppress her. To let her know that, even if she is Charles Coldwell's daughter, in the end, she still must rely on herself.
This is imperial manipulation, Frank Chamberlain is in a position of power, long accustomed to using such tactics to control people.
“Alright, I will arrange it.”
Facing Nolan Lucas, Frank Chamberlain rarely showed the pride he had when facing others, “But I am curious, even if Hannah is incompetent, she is still with other Coldwell's family members. Who, or which woman, could take her away in front of everyone?”
“Your people, did they not extract anything?”
Nolan Lucas's narrow black pupils flashed slightly with skepticism towards Frank Chamberlain's question.
His men, of course, asked.
But through both overt and covert investigation, aside from the restaurant manager who did not dare to offend them and divulged a few words, no one else dared to gossip.
Nonsense, just Cory Coldwell alone was frightening enough, let alone the sudden appearance of more than fifty hired mercenary tough guys.
Ordinary people, even those from powerful backgrounds, when have they ever seen such a display?
Without needing Lily Gray's warning, as long as one wasn't brain-dead, no one would dare to speak out.
“The President speaks correctly, my son indeed has not done enough. I will personally dispatch someone to look into Hannah's whereabouts. Rest assured, it won't delay your arrangements.”
It was then that Theodore Lucas spoke.
His deep and steady voice carried an unquestionable authority.
After all, he was Evelyn Lucas's father, and as an elder and partner, Frank Chamberlain humbly said, “Uncle is being too serious, we all share resources, it is mutually beneficial.”
Theodore Lucas nodded slightly, “Right, we are all in the same boat. I can see that you have deep feelings for Evelyn. Rest assured, as long as this big event is handled, you and our Evelyn will truly become family.”
Frank Chamberlain, upon hearing Theodore Lucas's promise, felt a slight excitement hidden in the depths of his dark eyes.
“Uncle, rest assured, I will cooperate well.”
Frank Chamberlain was a mature politician, clearly not a young naif, but whenever he encountered Evelyn Lucas, he transformed completely.
“Mm. In that case, arrange for Hannah to meet Charles Coldwell as soon as possible. Next week is Mr. Scott's birthday banquet, and during the banquet, Nolan will be formally engaged to the eldest daughter of the Scott family. To prevent any surprises, we need Marshal Coldwell's influence.”
The Scott family, if they were sensible, it would be fine, but if they were not, then the naked photos taken of Tania Scott while she was asleep would spread throughout the entirety of Eastonia.
Although Theodore Lucas held this leverage, since Larry Scott belonged to the military, to prevent him from directly intervening by force, he had to think of an exit strategy in advance.
The three discussed a bit longer, settling various details, and then Theodore Lucas stood up with Nolan, preparing to leave.
“Wait a moment.” Evelyn Lucas suddenly stopped them.
“Dad… didn't you say there was an urgent matter? Is this what you meant by urgent?”
The matter wasn't minor, but to call it urgent was a stretch.
Evelyn Lucas clung to her brother's arm, unwilling to let go, deliberately starting a conversation to keep the two men there.
Nolan Lucas always understood his sister best, pinched her face affectionately, and said, “There is indeed an urgent matter, but you can't help even if we told you.”
“Why can't I help, maybe…”
“It's Vivian Walters.” Theodore Lucas said, “Our plan to arrange for Vivian Walters to go to school to get close to Ben Lucas has failed. Not only has Aidan Lucas ignored her, but she also discovered that there is already someone by Aidan's side who looks exactly like Lily Gray.”
