Chapter 458: Chapter 461: Nine Months Later, Automatic Divorce.
“Just say what you want to say.”
“Mr. Lucas, actually… even if you want to divorce Young Lady, there is no need to draft such terms. This… the young master and half of the family property, the price is too high.”
Samuel Mckinley had no idea what the contents of the new agreement that Aidan Lucas asked Mr. Fenton to draft were.
Hearing Mr. Fenton’s words suddenly, his complexion turned pale.
The young master…
Half of the family property…
Could it be that Mr. Lucas wants to…
“You don’t need to persuade me. What I have decided will not change.” Aidan Lucas coldly rejected Joshua Fenton’s suggestion.
Even though his heart was torn, the determination in his eyes remained unchanged.
“….” Joshua Fenton fell silent.
But Samuel Mckinley could not accept such an arrangement.
“Mr. Lucas, you can’t do this! The young master is the only blood of the Lucas family, and as for your assets, how can you split half of them to Miss Gray!”
Having been with Aidan Lucas for many years, Samuel Mckinley knew what Aidan Lucas wanted to do after hearing just a few words.
Heirs…
Family property…
These were extremely important and must not be mishandled.
Why could Mr. Lucas easily give all of these to Lily Gray?
This emotionally-driven Mr. Lucas almost made Samuel Mckinley feel completely unfamiliar.
“Samuel, don’t say anything more… I’ve made up my mind.” Aidan Lucas’s cold eyes glanced at Samuel Mckinley.
Even the old man who had been with him for many years couldn’t help but feel frozen by the frost in his eyes.
“But, Mr. Lucas…”
“There is no but, remember, this is my decision.”
Samuel Mckinley was deeply glanced at by Aidan Lucas’s dark pupils.
He only felt a chill coming from his own back to the back of his head.
That coldness, instantaneously spread all over his body.
He didn’t dare to say another “no” word.
He could only nod respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Lucas. I understand…”
Aidan Lucas retracted his deep black pupils and coldly said to Samuel Mckinley and Mr. Fenton.
“Regarding this matter, not a single word must be leaked out. You both know how you’d end up if you leak anything out, I don’t need to say more.”
Both of them said in unison, “Yes, Mr. Lucas, we understand.”
“Also…” Aidan Lucas seemed to think of something, closed his eyes, and hid all the emotions in his eyes.
“Samuel, after the divorce agreement is signed, it will automatically take effect in nine months. At that time, you are responsible for transferring all assets. After it’s done, send Young Lady and the young master abroad to find a safe place and arrange for someone to protect them.”
“This… Mr. Lucas, this matter…”
“Just do it if I ask you to. If you can’t, then I’ll ask Sebastian Lucas VII to do it.”
Samuel Mckinley’s expression changed, and he immediately straightened his back, “Mr. Lucas, rest assured, I will take care of the matter you entrust to me even if it means my life.”
He replied like this, but his heart was beating incredibly fast.
Nine months…
Mr. Lucas’s arrangement, why does it feel like he’s discussing a final arrangement?
Could it be that after nine months, that person… is really coming back?
Samuel Mckinley was secretly shocked but did not dare to show it too much.
He could only watch Aidan Lucas’s backfor a long time, unable to let go.

Lily Gray stumbled back to the stairway, almost unable to believe what she had heard.
“Young Lady, why did you come out?” Sebastian Lucas VII was startled when he saw Lily Gray.
The corridor outside the lounge was quiet.
Sebastian Lucas VII was guarding at the entrance of the corridor and had only stood there for a while when he saw Lily Gray, who was originally supposed to be resting, come out.
