Smith didn't know what Lucas meant. He was afraid that it was a test, and that he had already known the truth, so he wanted to start with himself first. Either way would be very disadvantageous to him.
"Well... Mr. Lucas, I think you have misunderstood. This project is really over. I..."
"I wanted to give you a chance, but you didn't seem to like that. You didn't seize the opportunity."
Lucas's face slowly darkened, which was far from the smile he had just had. He leaned forward slightly and stared at Smith.
"I..." Sweat began to form on Smith's forehead. "I don't know what you want to say."
"No, you know it very well." Lucas narrowed his eyes and said, "It's as clear as I know what you want to do. I can tell you that Coombs is digging his own grave. As long as he takes this step, I will fight back. By then, who do you think he will take out to take the blame? We are not stupid. You should think about it."
