Just as Lucas was looking at the people from the hospital with a grim face, Louis came over again.
This time, Louis had a fake sad expression on his face. He looked at the director and said, "Can we go in and see my father?"
"Sure, sure, please." The director was so relieved to hear what Louis said since he felt so nervous in front of Lucas.
Lucas, Rebecca, and the others arrived at the emergency room as well. The room had already been cleaned up.
Justin was on the operating bed, but he was already covered with a white cloth.
Rebecca covered her mouth and looked at Lucas with concern.
Lucas felt something subtle and it was hard to specify his feelings at that moment.
He thought he wouldn't care, but he also thought of Justin's cultivation and teaching over the years.
Just as everyone fell into silence, Louis suddenly spoke up.
"When can we get the death certificate? Otherwise, we can't get the property."
Rebecca couldn't help but glare at Louis when she heard that.
She regretted marrying such a heartless man.
"Property?" Lucas' voice sounded cold as ice.
"What? You don't think that all the property of the Thomas family belongs to you, do you? I am his son, and I have the right to have a share!" Louis said loudly at this time, as if his loud voice could prop him up.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas. Mr. Justin Thomas had already left a will before he died. The will is to be notarized before the lawyer takes over it." At this time, Dwayne held back his grief and stood up to say.
"What did you say?" Louis was shocked.
Lucas glanced at Louis as if he was looking at a fool. He did not stay any longer and turned to leave the emergency room.
"Deal with the follow-up matters with Dwayne. I request the police to intervene and drill down the cause of death."
Lucas said through gritted teeth. Although Justin was old and had many diseases, he had always been well treated.
Lucas found it hard to accept Justin's death.
"Yes, Mr. Thomas," Vincent replied.
Lucas did not return to the company. Instead, he went back to the Thomas' villa along with Rebecca. After Louis had caused a farce in the hospital, he returned to his own place, frustrated.
The news of Justin's death spread like wildfire in Los Angeles. When Jessica got the news, she was discussing the follow-up development of the land north of LA with Wendy.
That was when she received a call from Hannah. She picked up the phone and said, "Dear Hannah, I'm at work now. Perhaps you may want to text me."
"Jessica, did you know that Justin, Lucas' grandfather, had passed away?" Hannah anxiously told Jessica the news.
"What?" Jessica was stunned by the news.
"It happened last night. He passed away at midnight." Hannah plucked out all the information she knew. "The news didn't go viral until Louis spread it all over. Louis is Lucas' father, the one who seldom comes home."
"How stupid!" Jessica could not help but snort coldly when she heard that.
The Thomas Group was already in the middle of a mess. If Justin's death went public, it would only cause the company more trouble.
It seemed that Lucas' father didn't have any wits at all.
"What happened to you, Jessica? The Thomas Group is in big trouble. Isn't that good?" Hannah could tell that Jessica wasn't in a good mood, so she asked doubtfully.
Jessica realized that she had been in silence for quite a while, so she quickly said, "I'm a little caught up here. We'll talk about it later."
With that, Jessica hung up the phone.
For some reason, when she had just heard the news, Lucas just popped into her mind.
Lucas had been shouldering significant responsibilities since he was young. His father was far from trustworthy and his grandfather had passed away.
The share price of the Thomas Group plummeted because of the wedding. Lucas was indeed in a ton of trouble.
However, Jessica wasn't happy at all to know that.
