Chapter 1612

Mr. Lucas never truly had the best interests of either of his sons at heart. Forcing them into an uncomfortable relationship, knowing their complicated dynamic, was more like raising fighting insects in a jar to see which one would survive.

Noah's expression darkened slightly as he looked at Ben's aloof demeanor. He curled his lips into a mocking smile. "I've always hated that superior attitude of yours. You're only where you are because you were born lucky." "If you're finished, you can leave," Ben said flatly, uninterested in listening to Noah's ramblings.

Noah let out a cold laugh. "You used to take everything for granted. But now that I'm here, you don't still think Lucas Corporation is entirely under your control, do you? Let's see how things go."
