Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Chapter 720: Face-to-Face Conversation

The soldiers escorted Madam Lucas and Lily Gray into the military compound, and after passing through several checkpoints, they finally arrived outside Larry Scott’s office.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll go in and report.” One of the soldiers guarding the door to Larry Scott’s office came over to take charge of the handover.

Another soldier knocked on the door and entered the room after getting Larry Scott’s permission.

After a short while, Lily Gray saw that soldier walking out with an indifferent expression.

“Both of you, Commander Scott says he will only see Madam Lucas and no one else.”

The reporting soldier’s face was expressionless.

For him, this wasn’t negotiable; it was an order to be carried out.

“Grandma…” Lily Gray looked at Madam Lucas worriedly.

It didn’t matter whether she saw Larry Scott or not, but she wanted to accompany her grandmother.

In Lily Gray’s heart, Larry Scott was now a man who would stop at nothing and resort to any means necessary.

She was afraid that Larry Scott would do something to her grandmother.

Little did the present Larry Scott know.

In the future, he would deeply regret his actions now.

His niece actually ignored him.

His beloved sister’s grandson, who he wanted to hold, refused to let him hold him!

…

“Don’t worry, child. Grandma will go in alone, and you wait for me here.” Madam Lucas gave Lily Gray a reassuring look before following the soldier into the room.

Two other straight-backed soldiers still stood at the door, so Lily Gray couldn’t force her way in and had to compromise.

Larry Scott’s office in A City was simple with a desk, a row of bookcases, two sofas, and a tea table.

There were no extra decorations or furnishings in the whole room.

It was simple and plain, unlike the office of a Commander.

“Madam Lucas, long time no see.” As soon as Madam Lucas entered, Larry Scott stood up.

Wearing his black military uniform, he stood tall and straight.

“Please, have a seat.” He extended his hand to Madam Lucas.

He then took the opportunity to sit down on the opposite sofa himself.

Madam Lucas didn’t hold back and started first, “Commander Scott, this isn’t our first meeting. Although the Scott and Lucas families are not close, we have always maintained a very good cooperative relationship in the past. We should be straightforward with each other. I know that you are holding Ethan Wilson, but your target is not him. So tell this old lady, what exactly do you want?”

Madam Lucas could tell at a glance that Larry Scott’s detention of Aidan Lucas and accusing him of treason was not his ultimate goal.

They all knew that it was not easy for the head of the Lucas family to be arrested at will.

Even now, if the Lucas family did nothing and simply filed an appeal in the parliament five days later, the military would have to release him.

Madam Lucas was confident that Larry Scott was not an impulsive man.

As expected, after she finished speaking, Larry Scott laughed lightly, “Sure enough, Madam Lucas is a remarkable woman. As an elder, you are right, my target is not Ethan Wilson.”

At this point, Larry Scott’s black pupils darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed through them.

“I mentioned it to you during our last phone call. My goal is simple. If you give up Lily Gray, I can release Ethan Wilson immediately. Moreover, I can help the Lucas family to fight against the Presidential Palace together.”

“Impossible!” Madam Lucas didn’t even think about it before rejecting the idea.

“In that case, I can only apologize. Madam Lucas, I will not release Ethan Wilson.”

Madam Lucas sneered, “Commander Scott, even if you don’t release him, it won’t affect our Lucas family. You can’t detain Ethan for long. Not to mention that I would intervene, even if I weren’t here, his own legal team would make the military suffer. You know, Eastonia is now a country under the rule of law, and the law always protects the rich.”
