Chapter 570

The entire room fell silent, even the foreign doctor didn't dare to speak.

What did Lucas mean by "a mess"?

Had he figured something out?

Jackson nervously exchanged a look with Tessa.

Her face turned pale.

She hadn't expected Lucas to act so unpredictably.

This left her at a loss for how to respond.

"Lucas, are you sure you want to do this? If something goes wrong, can you bear the consequences?"

Tessa's words became sharper.

Since he was so uncontrollable, why should she keep being polite?

Wasn't this just showing how weak she was?

And after all, she was Aurora's sister—she should be able to stand her ground with her brother-in-law.

Lucas glanced at Tessa. "I told you, I care about Aurora more than you do."

With that, he lifted Aurora in his arms, ready to leave the room, signaling to the foreign doctor to bring over the wheelchair.

The foreign doctor, seeing this, was thrilled.

Did this mean he had gained the approval of the "Grim Reaper"?

If so, wouldn't his future abroad be smooth sailing?

Kenneth, watching, couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He had just let a doctor he brought in climb the ladder like this.

How could he stand to let this go?

Tessa, seeing she couldn't stop it, started to feel anxious.

She walked directly up to Lucas and stood in front of him. "If you're going to act without thinking about the consequences, I'll just call Mom.

"I'll see whether she stands with you or with me!"

Lucas gently placed Aurora in the wheelchair, covering her with a blanket, and carefully supported her head.

His movements were incredibly gentle, showing no signs of impatience whatsoever.

Tessa watched from the side, feeling a pang of jealousy, but she didn't forget her purpose.

She spread her arms wide and fixed her gaze on Lucas.

She was trying to threaten him.

After all, if he took Aurora away now, she'd never have another chance to give her the injections.

Once Aurora woke up, how could there still be room for her in the company?

She had only just settled into the position of acting general manager, and her seat was barely warm.

Was she really going to let someone else push her out?

Tessa couldn't accept that.

If she hadn't gotten her hands on these things in the first place, it wouldn't have bothered her.

But now that she had them, it hurt to think of letting go, and she couldn't stand the thought of someone else taking it away.

This kind of mindset was something everyone had, but for Tessa, it was especially obvious.

She had worked so hard to carve out a place for herself in the company.

And now, after all this time, how could she bear to watch someone ruin her carefully laid plans?

She wouldn't let anyone destroy it, not anyone.

Whether it was her mother, Aurora, or the unknown man in front of her—her brother-in-law—anyone who got in her way would be swept aside.

As for the senior executives in the company who didn't like her?

She would make sure to show those old folks just how successful she could be.
