Chapter 695: Chapter 698: Voting Decides Whether Lily Gray Stays or Leaves (Additional Updates 2)
“”Austin…”
Brandon Lucas couldn’t help himself; he wanted to quietly remind him.
At this time, it was important to choose words carefully.
The best thing was to avoid calling attention to oneself. If one spoke too much, they would offend Mr. Lucas.
If they were too cautious, they would offend others.
The best thing to do was to stay silent in the back.
Although Brandon Lucas didn’t like Lily Gray, as the person responsible for the branch of the Lucas family headed by Caleb Lucas IV, he deeply knew that it was not the time to act on personal feelings.
Let others draw attention; they just had to watch from the sideline.
“Father, don’t worry. I know what to say.”
Austin Lucas gave Brandon Lucas a reassuring look.
Just as Brandon Lucas was able to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Austin Lucas say, “I also agree with Mr. Lucas’ point of view. As a man, how can we put all the responsibility on the woman. Even though I am just a junior and my words carry little weight, I am also a man. If I were to let someone else hurt my woman, how would I persuade my followers?”
Let alone Brandon Lucas, not even the others, nor Ethan Wilson, expected Austin Lucas to say these words.
A flash of surprise passed through Ethan Wilson’s cold black pupils, which then quickly returned to its calm demeanor.
On the other hand, Brandon Lucas, after a moment of thought, felt that he understood his son’s intentions.
If Mr. Lucas stood his ground for Lily Gray and refused to give way to the Scott family, it could lead to a situation where both sides suffer.
When that time comes, their Concord Group, hiding in the background, might even pick up some advantages?
Brandon Lucas suddenly felt that he understood Austin Lucas’ thoughts.
Only he didn’t know… that everything Austin Lucas had just said were his heartfelt words.
Ever since he realized that he had unknowingly developed genuine feelings for Lily Gray…
Austin Lucas had always wanted to make up for it.
Although he wanted to win back Lily Gray, he knew that the hope was very slim.
Right now, he didn’t ask for much.
He just hoped that Lily Gray, having suffered in their family, could actually get true happiness after marrying Ethan Wilson.
Because of this selfishness, he had been worried for Lily Gray ever since he secretly received the news.
He thought about calling to check on her, but he was already blocked by her.
Austin Lucas knew that the Concord Group didn’t count for much among the attendees.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But at this time, being able to do a little bit for Lily Gray, he felt it was worth it.
“Austin, your words are not correct. This is not about pushing responsibility onto women.”
The proposing shareholder frowned in disagreement.
“We are in business, and in business, we speak commercially, not based on gender. Furthermore, it’s not only about Mr. Wilson’s personal grudge. Now, every decision of his concerns the future of our Royal Palace Group. It not only affects the Royal Palace, but the entire Lucas family as well. In my opinion, since views on this matter are not unanimous, I believe the best course of action is to vote.”
With this, the shareholder, who had privately contacted Theodore Lucas and had been persuaded, lobbied the other nine major shareholders, “Gentlemen, the Royal Palace is the fruit of our efforts. What do you think about the decision to vote?”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the heads of the nine branches of the Lucas family.
He earnestly said, “Part of the Lucas family belongs to you. We outsiders can’t meddle in the internal affairs of your family, but from what I have heard, the head of the Lucas family doesn’t have the final say in everything. I hope you can take the overall situation into consideration and persuade Mr. Lucas.”
