The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1135 - 1135 Security Candidate

1135 Security Candidate

In fact, when Paul said that he had something to say to Lucas, Lucas had already guessed that he would likely talk about this.

After all, Gemma was indeed advanced in years, and most people her age had already retired a long time ago.

But Gemma was someone who couldn’t stand being idling, so she had accepted a job offer from Georgetown University and continued to work at the school as a professor. Later, she accepted Lucas’s invitation to design and build Stardust City for the Stardust Corporation.

Paul was against the idea of his mother going to the construction site and painstakingly working on the design drawings every day. But he couldn’t stop her and could only go along with her.

But now that Gemma had been so shocked and frightened at the construction site that she had suffered an almost fatal heart attack, Paul was extremely worried about her.

Who knew if Gemma would encounter similar mishaps if she continued to stay at the Stardust City construction site?

Seeing Lucas not speaking, Paul continued, “I’m really worried about my mother’s health. Although I may not be as good as her, I’m also a professor of architectural design at the School of Architecture of Georgetown.

“If you don’t mind, I can take over my mother’s work and help with the design of the Stardust City project so that it won’t be affected by her absence.”

Paul’s words were very appropriate.

He was worried about his mother’s health, so he didn’t want her to continue working on Stardust City, but he also didn’t want Lucas’s project to be affected. Thus, he offered to take over Gemma’s work.

Moreover, he was indeed a senior professor at Georgetown University, so his professional level was definitely not low.

Paul had indeed made a thorough consideration.

Lucas smiled wryly. “Professor Carson, I definitely trust your professional skills, but Professor Crawford is very passionate about the construction of Stardust City, so I doubt she’ll be willing to leave this project.”

Previously, after Gemma learned about the construction project of Stardust City, she had skipped lunch and hurriedly dragged Lucas and Flynn to the land in the eastern suburbs of DC to check out the construction site in detail.

Later, she even wanted to pitch a tent so that she could stay on the construction site and survey it personally.

Even Lucas was extremely touched by her enthusiasm.

Thus, the problem now was not whether Lucas would let Gemma go but whether she was willing to leave the project.

After hearing what Lucas said, Paul fell silent.

Paul knew his mother’s character well. Given her enthusiastic and frenetic work attitude, where she would even skip meals and sleep to work, Paul also thought that it would indeed be difficult to convince her to leave the Stardust City construction project and stay at home to rest.

Lucas considered for a moment before saying, “How about this? Professor Crawford has already completed the overall plan of Stardust City, but she’s still not at ease with handing over all the work to the engineering team. So she insists on staying at the site to monitor the construction every day so that she can make changes according to the site conditions.”

“In fact, it’s actually no longer necessary for Professor Crawford to go to the site every day to keep a careful eye on the progress. I’ll have a good talk with her and try persuading her to stay home to get as much rest as possible. If there are any matters to handle, I can get our engineering department to communicate with her via a video call.

“If Professor Crawford is still worried, she can go to the site to give some guidance once every few days. Like this, she will be much more at ease and will still have a clear idea of the construction progress.

“Professor Carson, what do you think about this arrangement?”

Hearing this, Paul thought about it and nodded in approval. “Mr. Gray, that’s a great idea. Thank you so much!”

Lucas smiled. “It’s just a small matter. Professor Crawford is indeed very admirable. Professor Carson, you’re a filial son who values family and righteousness. I’ve only done what’s within my means.”

Paul laughed and said, “You’re being too polite, Mr. Gray. If there’s anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to let me know!”

“Haha, Professor Carson, you’re being too polite.”

The two of them were much more relaxed after having settled the matter.

After staying in Gemma’s ward for a while and seeing that her condition was stable and that she was just sleeping, Lucas didn’t stay any longer and left with Flynn. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

…

On the way back, Lucas told Flynn what he had discussed with Paul and asked him to make arrangements early. He also instructed him to wait until Gemma’s condition completely improved before talking to her about this matter.

Flynn agreed with Lucas and Paul’s plan.

At the same time, he was full of guilt. “Lucas, I’m really sorry. If I had arranged for more people to protect Professor Crawford, we might have been able to avoid this. I’ll definitely tighten security measures in the future!”

Lucas didn’t blame Flynn. “It’s not your fault. Besides, the bodyguards you find may not be able to deal with the people from Club Illuma, so I’ll help you find some people to take over this.

“As for your work, the focus should still be on the Stardust Corporation. In addition to the operations of the company, the construction of the various Stardust Cities and the development of the oversea markets will also depend on your supervision. So your responsibilities are very important too.”

“Yes, Lucas. I’ll definitely do a good job!” Flynn assured.

Lucas nodded, took out his phone, and made a call.

Soon, an excited voice answered. “Mr. Gray, you’ve finally called!”

Without any pleasantries, Lucas said directly, “Make arrangements for the matters you’re handling now and then take twenty to thirty of your strongest subordinates with you to the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC. I have some instructions for you.”

Hearing this, the person on the other end instantly became excited. “Yes! I’ll arrange everything today and bring my subordinates to see you in DC tomorrow!”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Lucas looked at Flynn, who was still confused, and said, “It’s Joe from Little Atlantis City in Orange County, which belongs to me. He’s one of my subordinates. Send people to the airport to pick them up tomorrow and then hand over the security work of the Stardust Corporation to them.”
