Oscar stood up and walked to Lucas' table. "When I become the CEO of Thomas Group, I'd love to arrange some new work for you."
"Is that so?" Lucas sneered. "Get this project done first. As far as I know, there were casualties in your first joint project with the Davison Group. If Terry weren't that eager to go against me, he wouldn't have given any project to someone like you who has no competence at all."
Oscar was utterly irritated.
He hated it when others said that he had no competence at all.
However, Lucas was now the CEO of the Thomas Group. If he beat Lucas now, Lucas would directly drive him out of the company.
He had not gotten the Thomas Group yet, so he could not make a move driven by impulse.
Yet the contempt in Lucas' eyes was like a sharp knife, stabbing at his sore point.
Oscar took a step back, looked at Lucas, and sneered after taking a deep breath.
He said, "Have a good time now. You don't get everything. If Justin hadn't paved the way for you, you wouldn't have been able to reach your current position. Not to mention your career, you've got to thank me for your marriage."
"What did you say?" Lucas stared at Oscar with his sharp eyes.
Oscar paused a bit before he realized that he had said too much.
He snorted and said, "Anyway, enjoy your last days as the CEO."
After that, he slammed the door and left.
The expression on Lucas' face did not change at all, but Oscar's words rippled in his heart.
He carefully thought about what Oscar said. He did not even notice that Jessica had come out of the room.
Jessica gently waved her hand in front of Lucas, and then Lucas came back to his senses and looked at Jessica.
It had been a while since Jessica last met Lucas' gaze. Her heart pondered faster.
She quickly shook off those feelings and looked at Lucas.
In the suite, she had clearly heard the conversation between Lucas and Oscar.
"What did he mean by that?" Jessica asked.
"I don't know." Lucas frowned and continued, "Do you remember how we got married five years ago?"
"What do you think?" Jessica felt that there were countless clues in her mind, but she didn't know which one to focus on.
"I think I may know what to look into when it comes to what happened five years ago." Lucas finally said, and Jessica nodded at him.
Jessica and Lucas tacitly arranged for Wendy and Vincent to investigate. This time, with the two of them working together, there was a breakthrough.
Vincent and Wendy started with the experience of Oscar and arranged for people to investigate Oscar in detail.
Back then, Oscar was hidden away as Louis' illegitimate son. Thus, nobody paid attention to him. Yet this time, Vincent and Wendy sought every detail of his.
Soon, they discovered that Oscar had suddenly disappeared from LA five years ago.
When Wendy handed the investigation results to Jessica, she looked at Jessica with a complicated expression, her eyes full of worry.
Jessica was a little nervous, but she was more eager to know the truth.
She smiled at Wendy comfortingly. "Don't worry, I can bear all the consequences."
Jessica opened the document.
She wasn't surprised. Ever since she and Lucas decided to look into it, she had known that it must have something to do with Oscar.
As expected, Wendy's report stated that it was Oscar who gave the potion to Susie Stone, the woman who was secretly in love with Lucas.
However, she did not have time to drink the potion before she was taken away by her family.
As for Jessica, she only accidentally took the drugged drink. It was sheer bad luck.
The reason why he couldn't find any clues about Oscar was because of Louis. He knew the truth and had been helping Oscar cover it up before. Besides, neither Lucas nor Jessica went in that direction. Thus, no one had found out.
Jessica closed the report. She found it hard to calm down after learning about the truth.
She didn't see this coming, either, that Oscar's slip led her to the truth.
