Solving The Trouble

Lucas naturally wouldn't agree to such a stupid cooperation request from the Smiths.

He indeed bore a hatred for the Hutton and resented them for their ruthless act of driving him and his mother out of the family back then, which eventually led to his mother's fatal illness.

But this was a feud between Lucas and the Huttons, and no other forces could interfere.

Moreover, on the first day he returned to Orange County from Calico half a year ago, Chad Kennedy, the Huttons' butler, had gone to the airport to receive Lucas and even asked him to return to DC to take charge of the Huttons.

If Lucas wanted to become the helmsman of the Huttons, he could do so anytime. There was no need for him to collude with the Smiths.

Therefore, this seemingly reasonable and incredibly tempting offer was extremely idiotic in Lucas's opinion. He wouldn't bother with the Smiths at all.
