Chapter 741

Jayson had always loved everything Ariel cooked. He would eat every last bite. If she gave the recipe to Georgia, he might actually eat a little.
Georgia looked at her. “Mrs. Larkin, are you leaving?”
Ariel glanced toward the bedroom. “I’ve got some urgent work to handle.”
She didn’t explain further. After all, she had a lot to process after the conversation with Jayson.
Georgia didn’t press. Ariel left her the recipe and headed to Faye Technologies.
There really was a work issue. Something tricky had come up in the tech department, and she needed to go handle it.
Meanwhile, Lucas went to Sanderson Manor.
Sanderson Group was collapsing, and rivals were circling.
Morgan sat in the living room, unable to recover from the blow.
He didn’t understand. He had already repaid part of what he owed, so the remaining companies shouldn’t have been pressing him so hard. Yet suddenly, everything had shifted. Several companies had joined forces, squeezing him from all sides. This update is available on
When Lori saw Lucas, she looked as if she had glimpsed a savior. She jumped up and grabbed his hand. “Lucas, you finally came! We’re in trouble. Dad said Sanderson Group is being forced into a buyout. But since we still owe the buyers money, we won’t see a single penny.”
She was convinced Lucas could fix this.
Lucas‘ gaze fell on her anxious face. He pulled his hand free. “Is that so? Things are that bad?”
Noticing something in his expression, Lori froze. “Lucas?”
Morgan snapped out of his daze and rushed to his feet. “Lucas, you’re finally back! I’ve been trying to reach you. Jadeon Tech’s influence in the industry is huge. If Sanderson Group collapses, everything I’ve worked for is gone. Lucas, you have to think of a way!”
Lucas sank onto the couch in front of the coffee table. With a mocking smile, he said sarcastically, “Mr. Sanderson, so even you have a day when things go wrong?
Morgan sensed something was off. Cold sweat broke out. “What do you mean?”
“Forgot to mention. I’m one of the buyers too.” Lucas stretched out his legs. A chilling darkness gleamed in his
eyes.
Morgan’s face went pale. He nearly collapsed. “You? What are you trying to do?”
Lori rushed to grab him. “Lucas, stop joking! We’re really in trouble this time!”

Lucas yanked his hand away. Lori nearly fell. She stared at him in shock.
He looked at Morgan with a sneer. “Still don’t get it? It’s Jayson. One command from him, and these companies will tear Sanderson Group apart. Do you even realize who you’re really up against? ”
Morgan’s lips trembled, and his legs went weak.
He had assumed that Jayson wouldn’t hold anything against him since he was Ariel’s biological father.
“Mr. Sanderson, you’re finished, and so is the Sanderson family,” Lucas said coldly.
As Morgan’s legs buckled, Lucas strode forward, looming over him. “But we’re not done yet. You sent me to prison for three years, ruining my relationship with Ari. When you have nothing left, do you think I’m going to let you live easy?”
His tone was icy.
Morgan’s face went white. His eyes widened in horror. Lucas knew everything.
“Lucas, you’re mistaken! I’m your father! I raised you all these years! Please help me! The Sanderson family can’t fall!”
With trembling hands, he tried to grab Lucas‘ pant leg, but Lucas slammed his foot down on the back of his hand and ground it with a mocking glare.
Morgan’s sweat poured. The pain nearly made him scream.
“Lucas! What’s wrong with you? Let go!” Lori rushed forward to plead.
But Lucas grabbed the ashtray from the table and slapped it against Morgan’s face. “No one knows the shady things you did at Sanderson Group better than I do. After all, I’ve been there for all those years. Morgan, Jayson may have ruined your family, but I’ll make sure you wish you were dead. And I’ve got all the time in the world.”
Morgan’s face went deathly pale.
Lucas hurled the ashtray down onto Morgan’s head. It hit with a heavy, muffled thud.
Morgan’s past deeds had sent him to prison and driven Ariel away. If it weren’t for Morgan, Ariel would have married him long ago.
