Lucas Douglas doesn't really seem like a bad guy, no matter how you look at it.
Even though he intentionally created conflict between Victoria and Hank Clegg...
in essence, he still hopes to ensure Victoria and the baby's safety.
Moreover, from the truth behind the art theft incident, Lucas doesn't seem like a major criminal, he even seems like a defender of justice.
He genuinely loves the baby.
"He will not accept an alliance with me," Lucas said coldly, "Our grudges run too deep, they cannot be erased."
He then turned to Victoria and said, "I came here tonight hoping you and the baby could temporarily leave this place and lay low. I won't harm you, but that doesn't mean others won't. According to what I know, someone has already targeted you."
"I..." Lucas's words left Victoria momentarily speechless.
Then Lucas added, "I think, you also don't want to become Hank Clegg's weakness, to be used by others as a means to blackmail him, am I right?"
