"No!" Preston refused resolutely. "This isn't a small business. We've monopolized it in Orange County! If I recommend some clients to you, won't I be giving the Taylors a competitor for no reason?"

Lucas shook his head. "I naturally won't run this business in Orange County and become your competitor."

After giving it some thought, Preston still didn't believe Lucas. "Your roots are all in Orange County. Why should I believe that you would leave this county and go elsewhere to run this business."

Lucas shrugged. "It's up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Taylor, please get your facts right. I'm doing you a favor by asking you to recommend clients to me. Besides, I don't want to fall out with the Taylors either. To put it bluntly, the Ocean Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do to me?"

Lucas's words made Preston's face turn gloomy again.
