    Chapter 273 The Fight That Had to Happen

    Samson knew Lucas too well. Unless Lucas was ready to open up, no one could force him. With a long sigh, Samson turned and left.

    As Lucas stepped out of the elevator, his secretary quickly approached him. “Mr. Lucas, Mr. Larry is here. He’s waiting in your office.”

    “I know.” Lucas’s tone was cool, and he didn’t slow his stride as he headed straight toward his office.

    He pushed open the door. Larry was standing at the window, his back to the entrance. At the sound of the door opening, Larry turned around, eyes sharp and filled with restrained fury.

    “Lucas, you finally have the guts to show your face.”

    Lucas gave him a passing nce and walked to his desk, setting down the file in his hand. His voice was t. “What do you want?”

    Larry strode over, cing both hands on the desk and staring him down. “Where’s Sloane?”

    Lucas’s gaze cooled slightly but returned to calm just as quickly. He looked up and met Larry’s eyes. “Noment.”

    Larry’s expression darkened. His fists clenched, knuckle’s white. He let out a dryugh, anger tightly coiled in his voice. “Don’t y dumb. I looked into it beforeing here. Three months ago, you were poisoned and nearly died. You were discharged the next day,pletely fine-but Sloane vanished. What did you do to her?”

    Lucas’s eyes narrowed, his fingers curling against the edge of the desk. His voice remained cold, but a ripple of emotion broke through. “That’s between her and me. It’s none of your business.”

    “None of my business?” Larry’s voice rose sharply, his tone dripping with contempt. “You’re thest person who deserves to say that. She saved your life more than once, and all you ever gave her in return was pain. Did she get hurt saving you again? Is that why she’s gone? What the hell did you do?”

    Lucas’s pupils contracted. Guilt and shame surged inside him, every word cutting deep. His face went pale, but it was quickly buried beneath a rising fury. He stood up suddenly, voice low and deadly. “Say that again.”

    Larry didn’t back down. He stepped closer, locking eyes with him. “I said-you don’t deserve her.”

    That was the spark.

    Lucas’s anger exploded. He grabbed Larry by the cor and growled, “Shut your mouth.”

    But Larry only let out a coldugly and wrenched Lucas’s hand off with a sharp twist. His eyes zed with usation. “What? Did I hit a nerve? Getting angry because I’m right? Lucas, all you know how to do is hurt her. What else have you ever done?”

    Lucas’s eyes turned to ice. His fist tightened-and then he swung.

    “You’re asking for it.”
