Self-Exposure Over the Phone

Aston wasn't a stupid person. On the contrary, he could be considered astute most of the time.

Now, Bruce had personally transferred all the businesses of the Hales to Lucas and even took the initiative to sentence his second grandson, Logan, to death, all for the sake of pleasing Lucas.

In this instant, Aston recalled the night where tragedy struck the Hales.

On that night, he was frightened out of his wits by Lucas and ran back home to the Brookes overnight to hatch a plan with Andrew and discuss the countermeasures they should take.

But after some analysis, Andrew eventually felt that it wasn't within Lucas's means to do that and thought that it must have been a coincidence.

Thus, he stopped feeling scared of Lucas and merely thought that he was using the military's presence to pretend to be powerful so as to frighten others.
