Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 417
Chapter 417: Chapter 420: Interrogating Sebastian Lucas VII(1)
Sebastian Lucas VII was known for his extraordinary self-control, as well as being the best trained and most skilled person under Aidan Lucas’ command.
Despite such a close distance, Lily Gray didn’t notice how fast Sebastian Lucas VII’s facial expressions changed in the slightest split second.
She nodded her head, “Oh, that’s true. It seems that this kind of thing isn’t something you should be responsible for.”
Lily Gray laughed; she was indeed too sensitive.
Sebastian Lucas VII had always been responsible for security issues. How could he be familiar with the guest list of a banquet?
Just as she was about to apologize for bothering him, another question suddenly crossed her mind.
“By the way, may I ask if ‘Sebastian Lucas VII’ is your real name?”
Lily Gray’s thoughts jumped too quickly for Sebastian Lucas VII to keep up with almost.
“Don’t get me wrong… you know, I used to go to Austin Lucas’ house. I remember that his father, Brandon Lucas, was called ‘Caleb Lucas IV.’ So… I was just simply curious.”
Hearing Lily Gray’s words and realizing she had no connection with the Scotts or Fords, Sebastian Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
The lady from the Ford family, her father was the head of the Ford family, and her mother was the second heir to the Scott family.
Young Lady suddenly asking about his Scott and Ford family matters gave him a start.
“Young Lady, Sebastian Lucas VII is not my real name; it’s just a code name. The Lucas family has a long history, and from a long time ago, there have been many branches. Besides the main Lucas family, those branches that are close to it all follow a ranking system based on seniority.”
“In this generation, there are nine branches in total: Lucas I, Lucas II, Lucas III, Lucas IV… up to Lucas IX. Our family happens to be ranked seventh, and since I took over the code name ‘Seventh Lucas’ from my father, I have been called ‘Seventh Lucas’ within the family.”
“So, Sebastian Lucas VII, are you actually the head of a Lucas family branch?”
In A City, the prestige and power of the main Lucas family need not be mentioned.
Not to mention the main family, but the other branches each have their respective fields of operation, and in the upper class, they are definitely symbols of both reputation and power.
Brandon Lucas opened the Concord Group in A City, and Austin Lucas was merely an illegitimate child of a Lucas family branch, but this attracted countless socialites and ladies to flock to him.
Not to mention, the branch that Brandon Lucas was part of was not even at the center of power within the Lucas family.
On the other hand, Sebastian Lucas VII was Aidan Lucas’ trusted confidant and worked for him.
The title ‘Old Sebastian Lucas VII’ was definitely more resounding than ‘Caleb Lucas IV.’
Upon hearing Lily Gray’s words, Sebastian Lucas VII, for the first time, showed a shy smile on his face. “I am honored that Mr. Lucas doesn’t abandon me, and I am now working for him, which brings glory to my ancestors.”
Lily Gray nodded in understanding, “If that’s the case, you must have heard about the Scott family in B City, and the Ford family that made their fortune in international trade. I’m not very familiar with these families, so while we walk together, you can tell me more about them.”
*
Sebastian Lucas VII never expected that the Young Lady would set him up like this.
The Scott family in B City…
The Ford family that made their fortune in international trade…
How… how could he tell her about this?!
However, not saying anything clearly wasn’t an option.
If he remained silent, it would undoubtedly arouse the Young Lady’s suspicion.
But if he spoke…
Sebastian Lucas VII had no choice, and the man over six feet tall was forced to break out in a cold sweat on his back.
Even during the initial training when he was thrown into the war-torn third world for half a year without asking about life or death, he was never as tormented and regretful as he was now, wishing he hadn’t appeared here.
After some thought, Sebastian Lucas VII decided to start with the Scott family, who weren’t as close to Hannah Ford.
