CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1501

Mrs. Lucas deeply regretted her decision.

If she had known it would come to this, she would never have sought out this man for help. “You hide behind a mask and won’t even show your face. How can you call yourself a man?”

“Mrs. Lucas, do you really think throwing insults will make me take off the mask and obediently do your bidding like a dog?” The masked man remained calm, his tone even laced with amusement, which only added to Mrs. Lucas’s frustration.

She was on the verge of breaking down. “Just name your price. How much will it take to get my son out of there?”

As long as Ben could walk out safely and unharmed, no amount of money was too much.

But the masked man shook his head. “This isn’t about money. If it were that simple, you wouldn’t be here begging me for help.”

The truth was, Mrs. Lucas had come to him because she had run out of options. He was her last hope. Yet, he shrugged nonchalantly, as if to show her just how powerless he really was.

“I don’t make the laws, and I don’t have connections that rival the Lucas family’s. If you couldn’t fix this, what makes you think I can? My advice? Don’t stress over it. Worst case, let him stay in there a while.”

“How can you say that?” Mrs. Lucas felt an overwhelming urge to slap him.

It wasn’t his son who had been taken away, it was hers. Of course, he could sit here tossing out dismissive remarks without a care in the world.

“If you’re so worried, maybe you shouldn’t have sabotaged your son in the first place,” he said with a cold smile. “Sure, I did the legwork, but it was all funded by you. Without your money, I couldn’t have done a thing. Isn't that you who truly put your son in prison?”

The Lucas family was her lifeblood. She couldn’t allow the company to crumble. As much as she hated it, reality left her no choice but to watch him walk away.

This avenue was a dead end. She had only one option left.

Mrs. Lucas drove home and immediately began calling Ben’s friends, summoning all of them to her house. Given the seriousness of the situation, everyone arrived quickly. In less than an hour, the living room was packed with people sitting shoulder to shoulder.

“Please, have some fruit,” Mrs. Lucas said, her eyes red as she placed tea and fruit in front of them.

But in the midst of such a crisis, no one had any appetite.
