CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1594

Jamie turned her head sharply, stunned by what she had just heard.

The look in Ben's eyes was more serious than she had ever seen before. His words weren't casual. They came from the depths of his heart, and anyone could tell they were genuine. Mrs. Lucas watched the scene unfold, her emotions a mix of complexity and relief.

A few years ago, she never would have imagined that someone she once dismissed could not only gain Ben's acceptance but also hers. It was clear now that Jamie was not just anyone. She was important to her son. But not everyone shared their sentiment.

Mr. Lucas frowned as his critical gaze swept over Jamie. He turned to Ben, his tone full of disapproval. "So, this is the reason you've rejected all those other women? What's so great about her? Her family background doesn't match yours, and her career is nothing special."

Ben's eyes narrowed. "Have you planted someone in the company to keep tabs on me?"

Otherwise, there was no way his semi-retired father could know so much.

His father's brief hesitation gave it away, though his calm demeanor didn't falter. "That's not surveillance. It's just ensuring you're managing the company properly." This was the last straw.

Ben stood abruptly, his face like ice, staring down at his father.

Mr. Lucas met his gaze unflinchingly. "What? Are you so full of yourself now that you don't need your father's guidance anymore?"

"I don't need your so-called guidance. I've had enough." Ben's voice was sharp, his words cutting like a blade.

Without another glance, he turned and took Jamie's hand, leading her out.

Mr. Lucas was livid. "If you walk out that door, don't bother coming back!"
