Chapter 440: Lucas Harrington Sat in His Office at the Top

Lucas Harrington sat in his office at the top floor of Harrington Global. He held a document listing thirty-seven names. Thirty-six were female staff from The Crown Monarch Hotel. The investigation results were clear. All thirty-six women had fantasies about touching Lucas. They were obsessed with him, his suite, even his bed. They had rolled on the sheets where he slept. That explained why their DNA was found there. Thirty-six different women had slept in Lucas's bed over the years. Sebastian tried to comfort him.

"Don't worry. I've already ordered their termination."

He flipped to the final page nervously.

"Look at this last person."

Lucas's eyes narrowed. The name on the last page was Sophia Prescott. That name hadn't crossed his mind in over a decade. When Lucas was eighteen, he attended Kingsport University. He was the wealthiest heir in the city. She was a scholarship student from a poor family. Sophia was delicate, fragile like a flower. Yet she persevered, working multiple part-time jobs. It was the first time Lucas encountered someone so determined despite poverty. Out of sympathy, he helped her a few times. She became one of the few women he allowed close.

His family assumed they were in a relationship. They paid her five million to leave the country. Sophia was forced to abandon her education and dreams. Lucas always felt guilty about what happened. He tried to find her for years to make amends. But she had vanished completely. Over time, he pushed the memory aside. He never formed any special connections with other women. Until five years ago. Sebastian watched his brother's reaction anxiously.

"Bro, what do you think? Sophia must have returned to Kingsport."

"We just haven't located her yet."

"If Noah is really her son..."

Lucas's expression darkened. He had considered many possibilities. But never that Sophia would reappear after ten years. If she was the woman from that night five years ago... Sebastian paced the room nervously.

"Damn it... Even you're speechless!"

"What if it's confirmed? What then?"

"I've invested so much effort helping you win Sienna."

"If your relationship falls apart because of this, I'll suffer the consequences."

Whenever Lucas was unhappy, Noah became upset. Then Noah would complain to Uncle Sebastian. When Lucas was happy, Sebastian felt like a third wheel. When Lucas was upset, Sebastian bore the brunt. Life was so unfair. Lucas's gaze sharpened on Sophia's name.

"It's not a big deal."

Sebastian stared blankly. "Huh?" Lucas closed the folder decisively.

"Find Sophia. Verify if it's really her."

"I'll handle the rest."

His feelings for Sophia were only pity and sympathy back then. With a faint admiration for her resilience. When he learned she was forced away, guilt consumed him. But he had fought hard to win Sienna's heart. Why would he abandon Sienna for Sophia now? Of course... If Sienna discovered his history with Sophia, would she be angry? Would she despise him for it?
