Chapter 2927: Chapter 117: The One I Love Is Harrison Lucas

Lily Redington, who had not shown a vulnerable side for a long time, heard her son’s declaration and her legs went weak.

If Aidan Lucas’s big hand weren’t still clamped firmly around her waist, she would definitely have collapsed to the floor under the blast of that impact.

It wasn’t just Lily Redington who was shocked by Ben Lucas’s words; standing to the side, Yana Lucas also showed a look of baffled shock. Her pair of clear, cool peach-blossom eyes suddenly widened as she stared in disbelief at her big brother who had just made that announcement.

Was this still the big brother in her mind who was perfect in everything, who almost never showed any flaw, who had no imperfections at all? 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Yana Lucas had always thought that her big brother and she were the same kind of people—"smart people" who stayed detached from the world and kept calm.

Yet in this moment, a hint of confusion welled up in the cool peach-blossom eyes of the young Yana Lucas.

Why did she suddenly feel that the big brother in front of her had become so unfamiliar, and why did she suddenly feel that this version of him seemed to have more masculine allure than the usually flawless one.

This kind of big brother was no longer a perfect, aloof statue, but instead became a man of flesh and blood, even with warmth.

As for Aidan Lucas, the big hand holding Lily was steady and powerful, but his dark eyes were frighteningly cold.

The scarlet at the bottom of Aidan Lucas’s eyes was gradually gathering; that cruel, icy expression was the omen of his fury.

"Ben Lucas, repeat what you just said." Aidan Lucas’s voice was low and glacial, cold to the extreme.

Familiar with his temperament, Lily immediately heard that this was a true sign he was about to lose his temper.

"Husband..."

Before Lily could even begin to persuade him, Ben Lucas’s voice, neither servile nor overbearing and just as deep and steely cold, rang out again.

"Even if I say it a hundred times, it won’t change. The person I like is Harrison Lucas, and the person I want to walk through life with is also Harrison Lucas. Even if she is a ’man’, I won’t change my mind. In this lifetime I won’t get married; I will only walk through The rest of our lives hand in hand with Harrison Lucas."

Ben Lucas knew why Aidan Lucas would erupt in rage.

Ben Lucas even understood what it meant for the entire Lucas family that he had made such a decision.

His younger brother Abraham Redington had been free and unrestrained since childhood; he only wanted to be named Redington and refused to be named Lucas, so the only man left in the Lucas family was him, Ben Lucas.

Even a father like Aidan Lucas, who allowed his children to grow up unrestrained, still needed an heir. The vast family business of the Lucas family needed someone to inherit it, and the century-old influence of the main family of the Lucas family needed someone to carry it on.

Although the Lucas family still had two daughters, in Eastonia, a country that placed such emphasis on tradition and retained many old-fashioned ideas, the heirs of prominent families were generally by default the sons.

Aidan Lucas did not favor his two sons; he actually doted more on his two daughters.

But as Royal Palace Group was a multinational financial conglomerate, and the main family of the Lucas family needed to command numerous branches, they could not do without an heir strong enough to win everyone’s respect.

Ben Lucas knew that because he was set on a career in the military, and Abbie only handled matters in Europe, the vast Royal Palace had no one to inherit it, and his father was already under a great deal of pressure.

But Aidan Lucas had never spoken of it; he simply shouldered it all alone and gave each of the children space to grow as they wished.

Aidan Lucas knew his two sons were unwilling to inherit the family business and had already fixed his gaze on the next generation.

Yet now, when Ben Lucas announced that the person he liked was a "man," and that he would never get married for a lifetime, would never produce offspring, he had forcibly severed the carefully laid plans Aidan Lucas had made for the inheritance.

Such an act, for Mr. Lucas, the one who controlled the entire Lucas family, was something utterly intolerable.
