Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 690: Chapter 693: Their Love Makes People Sick

At that time, Ethan Wilson was blinded with rage.

Even though Theodore Lucas had kidnapped Emily Taylor, using her life to threaten Ethan to give up his claim to the Lucas family’s power.

But Ethan still wouldn’t give in.

Madam Lucas had no choice but to use special medicine to control the violent and cold-blooded Ethan, allowing him to regain control of his body.

The situation with Ethan was precarious at that time, and it was only when Theodore didn’t provoke him that the normal Ethan would appear.

As soon as Theodore provoked him, the ruthless man hidden in the darkness would take over Ethan’s entire body.

Using Emily Taylor as blackmail only made Ethan more ruthless.

Fortunately, the medicine controlled the violence within him, and the now calm Ethan agreed to negotiate with Theodore, saving Emily Taylor.

Although Emily was saved, Ethan still held the upper hand and ultimately didn’t give up his claim to the Lucas family’s power.

Instead, in the negotiation, Theodore had no choice but to accept defeat. Under Madam Lucas’s intervention, he agreed to leave A City to ensure safety.

Theodore eventually agreed not to set foot in A City for the rest of Madam Lucas’s life.

These terms may seem unfair now.

But at the time, it was the best possible outcome.

As the heir to the previous generation’s head of the Lucas family, Theodore already had the support of many family members when Ethan was still young and inexperienced.

And Madam Lucas’s health had always been strong, living another ten or twenty years wouldn’t be a problem.

Madam Lucas decided to use her life to buy time for Ethan.

As long as she lived another day, Theodore, the unfilial son, would have no excuse to return to A City and win the support of other Lucas family members there.

“This is how things are,” Madam Lucas reached out and rubbed Lily Gray’s head, smiling gently, “I’m telling you all of this, so that you can understand the current situation.”

“You already know that my health is getting worse. The doctor said that I might not live to this time next year…”

“Madam, that’s not true…”Lily couldn’t help but press her face against Madame Lucas’s leg.

She wanted to feel Madam Lucas’s warmth, but when her face touched the leg, she could clearly feel how thin and weak Madam Lucas’s legs were.

“Madam…” Her face was full of tears.

“Silly kid, everyone has to die eventually. I just hate that my body is too weak to buy more time for Ethan. However, Ethan is doing well now, he’s very capable and can stand on his own. It’s just that…”

Madam Lucas couldn’t help but sigh.

“I thought that Theodore, the unfilial son, could give up everything for his true love. It turns out that he’s just a common man. For power…he marries his own daughter to the newly-appointed President.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“The newly-appointed President…” Lily couldn’t help but think of Rodney Rhodes, whom she had encountered at the Manor.

He was a middle-aged man who looked at least fifty years old.

Theodore and that man must be around the same age.

“He married that girl named Evelyn Lucas to the President!?” Lily couldn’t believe it.

Madam Lucas nodded with a cold smile, “Yes, he married her to Rodney Rhodes. The daughter named after ‘deep love for Tara Hammond,’ married a man old enough to be her father. Tell me, isn’t their love disgustingly realistic?”
