NovelBookChapter 1109:
After having lunch with Lucas, Belinda headed to the Grand Plains General Hospital to spend the afternoon with
her grandmother.
Later that day, in a private dining room of an upscale restaurant, Kane leaned back in his chair, one eyebrow
arching with curiosity as he looked at Lucas, who sat opposite him.
“Lucas, what's this about? You don’t usually inviteout for pleasantries,” Kane said.
Lucas wasted no ton small talk. His gaze was sharp, his words precise. “Diego—you bribed him, didn’t you?”
At the mention of that name, Kane's fingers momentarily tensed around his glass. His eyes flickered briefly, but
he quickly composed himself.
Feigning ignorance, he furrowed his brows and asked, “Who the hell is Diego?”

Lucas exhaled a cold, humorless chuckle.
The brief shift in Kane's expression hadn’t gone unnoticed. Lucas had always been a master at reading people,
and Kane's reaction had already given him away.
Fixing Kane with an unyielding stare, Lucas leaned forward slightly. “Kane, have | been too lenient with you
lately? Have you forgotten the methods | used in the past? Or perhaps the lesson from three years ago wasn’t
painful enough for you?” His voice was calm, but the underlying threat was evident.
The mention of the past sent a jolt of rage through Kane.
Who did Lucas think he was? He had endured more than Lucas ever had. And yet, here Lucas was, talking down
to him like this!

Clenching his jaw, Kane shot Lucas a glare. “Lucas, | have no idea what you're accusingof. | don’t even know
who this Diego is! | get that you don’t like me, but that doesn’t give you the right to randomly pin accusations on
me!” His voice was laced with feigned indignation, each word carefully measured.
Lucas didn’t believe him at all.
He leaned back in his chair. “You really thought that using untraceable prepaid phones and anonymous accounts
would be enough to cover your tracks?” His eyes darkened, a lethal edge creeping into his tone as he delivered
his final warning. “Kane, since you've chosen to make your move, don’t blme for showing you no mercy
now!”
When Kane heard that, his expression shifted slightly.
His eyes darkened as he took a deep breath, his voice laced with frustration. “Lucas, | have no idea what you're
talking about!”
Lucas remained unmoved. His tone was cold and menacing. “You'll find out soon enough.”

Without another word, he rose from the sofa and walked out, not sparing Kane a second glance.
Kane furrowed his brows as he watched Lucas leave.
A sense of unease settled over him.
What had Lucas uncovered? Why was Lucas so certain he was involved in this matter?
Judging by the look in Lucas’ eyes, he believed Lucas wouldn't let this go easily.
Lucas was definitely planning to take action against him.
Kane found himself wondering what Lucas would do to target him.
Back in his office, Lucas wasted no time. He called Gordon in and gave a direct order. “I want a full report on
Kane's assets—public holdings, hidden investments, offshore accounts... | want everything.”
Gordon nodded without hesitation. “Understood. I'll get someone on it immediately.”
