Louis had been going out of his way to spread the news. Thus, Lucas had to announce Justin's death.
Once it was released, the share price of the Thomas Group fell again.
On the Internet, many people felt that Justin fell seriously ill because of Lucas' wedding. There were a lot of harsh comments on Lucas.
Yet Lucas didn't have the time to deal with the online comments. He moved his office into the Thomas Group so that he could deal with the business and Justin's funeral at the same time.
Lucas' original plan had been disrupted.
After Justin passed away, some senior executives started to make a move.
When Justin was alive, these people had to conceal their ambition.
Now that Justin had passed away, Lucas believed they would target him after the funeral.
While Lucas was busy in a mess, Terry was lost in thought as he read the news.
He felt a little uneasy for no reason. He wanted to see Jessica, desperately.
So he called Jessica.
"Jessica," Terry said immediately after the call connected.
"Mr. Davison, what's the matter?" Jessica's tired voice sounded from the other side of the line.
"Nothing. It's just that I miss you. Do you have arrangements tonight?" Terry didn't like to be called Mr. Davison.
Jessica had yet to speak when the door to Terry's office was suddenly pushed open.
Oscar walked in with a smile on his face. He said loudly, "Terry, have you seen the news? Justin died. It really is..."
Terry's face turned stern at once. He immediately said to Jessica, "Something happened here. I'll call you later."
Jessica froze a bit when Terry hung up the phone.
Before she hung up the phone, she heard a man's voice. The man seemed to be talking about Justin's death.
However, Jessica was not interested in others' businesses. Thus, she got back to work after hanging up the phone.
"Couldn't you just knock on the door?" Terry thought that Jessica might have just heard Oscar's voice. He was annoyed and could not help blaming him.
"Who's on the other side of the phone?" Oscar looked at the expression on Terry's face, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Miss Hall? Jessica Hall?"
"What're you here up to?" Terry did not want to answer his question. He calmed himself down and said coldly.
"In a few days, I'll need your help," Oscar said with a smile.
Three days later, in the Ranchos Church of Los Angeles, Justin's funeral was held.
In addition to the shareholders and executives of the Thomas Group, there were also many people from upper-class families in LA.
Dwayne also invited the Hall family according to the list, but Morgan and Jessica decided not to show up after a small discussion.
Dwayne was relieved. If Morgan or Jessica appeared at this time, they would inevitably become the target of the reporters.
After the priest read out the memorial, everyone lowered their heads to mourn.
Just as the ceremony was about to end, a tall man suddenly walked in.
"Why am I not invited to my grandfather's funeral?"
It was Oscar. As soon as his voice fell, the discussion exploded among guests.
Rebecca stared at Oscar. When she saw Oscar's face, she immediately knew who he was.
Rebecca was angry at the sudden appearance of Oscar, and she trembled with anger.
"Are you qualified to be here? Dwayne, get him out!" Rebecca thought that Oscar's appearance would embarrass Lucas, so she fought back.
"Shut up!" Louis didn't dare to irritate Lucas, but he did dare to do so to Rebecca.
Louis stood up and stood next to Oscar. With a smug expression on his face, he said to the other guests, "He is my son, Oscar Thomas."
Louis then turned to Lucas and said, "Lucas, this is your younger brother."
"How can an illegitimate child be considered my younger brother?" Lucas glanced at Louis and said coldly.
