Bruce emphasized once again loudly.

This time, the disaster was because Logan had thought that Lucas was just a nobody not worth mentioning and had provoked him.

This led to many other issues in the aftermath.

From this incident, Bruce also deeply realized what Lucas had mentioned before about the importance of family education.

After having been taught a massive lesson, the Hales were full of regret, and they frantically nodded in agreement.

“Yes!”

At the same time, many people couldnt help but think of the culprit who caused all the trouble, Logan.

Since the time Jordan had beat up Logan and severely injured him at the baby shower, Logan had been in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

When the military took them away that day, it didnt take Logan along.

“Grandpa, what about… Logan” Connor asked cautiously.

Bruces face twitched a few times with some reluctance, but he eventually gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, “Inform the hospital to give up treatment on him and have someone prepare his funeral!”

Then Bruce turned around and hobbled away.

The Hales left in the hall were stunned.

Bruce was undoubtedly announcing Logans outcome.

All of them had mixed feelings, but they understood the reason for his choice.

They knew that Logan had to pay the price for being the culprit of the trouble!

It wasnt only to give an explanation to Lucas but also a warning to all of the Hales.

——

Soon, Lucas caught wind of the news that the Hales had given up on Logans treatment.

He was sitting on a couch in the chairmans office on the top floor of the Stardust Corporation office building with a smirk on his face.

“Seems like Bruce Hale may be old but not muddled.”

Leaning sideways on the other couch, Jordan was quickly twirling a fountain pen between his fingers.

“Lucas, arent you afraid that the Hales will secretly be up to mischief while pretending to be respectful toward you on the surface, just like the Brookes”

Lucas smiled.

“As long as they still have brains, they wont do that.”

Beep.

Beep. 

The intercom rang.

James Denning said respectfully, “Mr.

Chairman, Aston Brooke of the Solar Corporation is here.

He says he wants to see you for something.”

Jordan snorted with laughter.

“Hah, speak of the devil.

That brainless fool is here.”

Lucas smiled and said to James, “Bring him up.”

Soon, Aston, dressed in a suit, walked in through the door.

“Haha, Lucas Gray, its been a long time since we met.

How are you doing lately” As soon as Aston entered the office, he greeted him with a smile.

But the fact that he called Lucas by his full name showed that he was acting all high up in the air, and he didnt hide the gloating look in his eyes at all.

Immediately afterward, he sat straight down on the couch opposite Lucas with one leg crossed over the other in a roguish manner.

Lucas watched Aston with a cold gaze in his eyes, but he wasnt angry.

Instead, he asked with a playful expression, “What are you here for today”

“Of course its for something important.

First, I want to see how you and your company are doing.

After all, the news on the internet is spreading like wildfire.

And as a friend, I of course would like to show some concern.

Second, I also want to talk to you about the cooperation between us,” Aston said slowly and leisurely.

“Oh Whats there to talk about regarding the cooperation” Lucas asked, pretending to be confused.

Aston smiled.

“Lucas Gray, lets just be straightforward and honest.

Previously, the Brookes only agreed to let you have an advantage on account that you were related to the Huttons.

Thats the only reason we decided to give you forty-nine percent of the shares of the Solar Corporations Orange County branch.

“But now that the Stardust Corporation has separated from the Huttons and has even become their enemies, weve changed our mind.

Furthermore, the general manager of your company has now been arrested and is even embroiled in a huge scandal.

This has caused the Stardust Corporations stock prices to plummet, resulting in heavy losses.

Do you still think that youre qualified to cooperate with the Brookes now”

Lucas raised his eyebrows and said derisively, “Oh What do you want then”

Looking as if he was taking pity on them, Aston said, “The Brookes arent the type to kick others when theyre down.

How about this Ill give you two options.

One, return all the shares of the Solar Corporations Orange County branch to us and compensate us with three million dollars in cash for the breach of contract.

Our cooperation will then cease.

“As for the second option, well… The Stardust Corporation might go bankrupt, but were willing to invest four million dollars into the Stardust Corporation.

However, we have to own sixty percent of the shares and enjoy all the decision-making rights!”

“Haha!” Jordan, who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the office, couldnt help bursting into laughter.

“What are you laughing at Im talking to Lucas Gray.

Do you have any manners at all” Aston berated in displeasure.

In his eyes, Jordan was just Lucass subordinate whose status was akin to that of a bodyguard.

Jordan said with a playful smile, “Im just laughing at how thick-skinned you and your family are! Your branch company is just an empty shell, and it only got a firm foothold in Orange County because of Lucas.

But you still have the cheek to ask us for three million in compensation for breach of contract.

Youre really shameless!

“Also, the market value of the Stardust Corporation is several billion dollars.

You want to use four million to exchange for sixty percent of the Stardust Corporations shares Fancy you having the gall to say that! Utterly shameless!”

Jordan clucked his tongue against the roof of his mouth while staring at Aston as if he wanted to seriously see how thick-skinned he was.

Astons face turned gloomy, and he glanced at Jordan in disdain before saying to Lucas, “Lucas Gray, your subordinate is really ill-mannered.

You ought to take him in hand!”

Lucas smiled calmly.

“Hes like my brother.

His words are exactly what I mean.”

“You!” Aston was immediately rendered speechless.

After a while, he sneered.

“It seems you have an issue with the options Ive offered.

Ill make things clear beforehand.

Now that the Brookes are still willing to invest in the Stardust Corporation, it means we still think youre somewhat capable!

“If you go up against the Huttons, youll just be fighting a hopeless battle, and it definitely wont end well.

Sooner or later, the Stardust Corporation will be destroyed and go bankrupt! If I were you, I would be smarter and get rid of the Stardust Corporation before its too late.

That way, you can at least get some money to survive!”

Lucas looked at Aston like he was an idiot and suddenly smiled.

“I dont think Ive ever mentioned that I wanted to cooperate with the Brookes.”

Aston narrowed his eyes.

“Oh Looks youre choosing to draw a clear line with the Brookes, huh Thats fine.

I just said that as long as you return all the shares of the Solar Corporations Orange County branch and compensate us with another three million dollars in cash, we will go separate ways and no longer have anything to do with each other!”

Lucas smiled and shook his head.

“No.

Im not going to return the shares to you.

Im not going to give you a single cent.”
