Lucas looked up at Thomas seriously. "If there is anything you need my help with, tell me."
Of course, he knew that Thomas had taken such a huge effort to see him. It was not purely to chat with him. He did not have the time to chat with him either.
Looking at Lucas' serious face, Thomas narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I overheard some of your conversation with Adrian Lynch a moment ago."
He lowered his head and stirred the cup of coffee, calmly adding, "Does Joshua have a bad relationship with Adrian?"
Before seeing Lucas that day, he did not know that Joshua had such a terrible relationship with his father.
He did research it before, of course. The outside world has always said that Joshua and Adrian did not have a good relationship. He also found out that Joshua has publicly condemned Adrian before.
However, when he asked Malcolm about this, Malcolm said a different story.
"What we see is what Joshua wants us to see. He always told the public that he didn't have a good relationship with his father, but it's not important to listen to what they say. We have to see what they did.
"Look, you have conflicts with your father, which is why you never live together, but Joshua and Adrian had always been under the same roof. A year ago, Joshua even gave Adrian a few million dollars to live out his old age. How could that be a 'bad relationship'? II
Back then, Thomas thought it made sense. After all, he did not get along well with his father. Any father-son relationship which turned sour should be the same way. Joshua, on the other hand, said that he did not have a good relationship with Adrian, but he still stayed under the same roof with Adrian while giving him money.
Thus, Thomas lumped Joshua on the same team as Adrian.
