Lyfan nodded in agreement as she replied, “Yes, sir. I can. I will give the orders right away, and the company operations will now be under our control.”Until now, Lyfan hadn’t known that the CEO of Blue Stark was actually Lucas’s ex-wife. But she knew one thing—Clara deserved all the backlash of life hammering on her.“Sir…” Lyfan called out. “What about Jordan, who has been the root of the scam? I’ve been waiting for you to give the order on what I should do with him. Should I get him arrested?”Lucas shook his head dismissively. “My war isn’t with Jordan, but with Clara. I know he has his own crimes in this, but he’s not the main focus here.”Lyfan had the feeling that Lucas was taking this very personally, though she still couldn’t figure out why. But then, who wouldn’t take things personally in a situation like this—when a single woman received funding that was supposed to be allocated to ten companies all to herself. “--”The next day, Clara had dressed up. She picked up her c

Clara, realizing the entire situation, began to back off. She stared disgracefully at the guards as she walked away.She got into her car, and it felt like hell was boiling within every nerve in her body. Abigail tried to calm her down, but Clara shot her a furious glare, and Abigail curled like a snail.“I’m sorry. I won’t say a word.”Those were the last words Abigail said, and the last words that were heard throughout the journey—until Clara dropped Abigail off and drove home.“--”Two days laterLucas was seated on a couch in one of the five-star hotels owned by his father, Derick Storm. He was holding Amanda’s phone—the same phone she had used to make the last video for him, in case she couldn’t make it.Tears dripped down his face as he watched the video over and over again.At that same moment, the door opened and James, his butler, walked in. When Lucas saw him, he cleaned his face with his wrist, not wanting James to know he had been crying. But James already knew—and he unde

Just then, the door was gently pushed open and James walked into the room. He bowed his head before greeting.“Good morning, sir. Breakfast is ready in the dining room.”Lucas’s face appeared confused. “Where am I? This place doesn’t seem to be the five-star hotel you took me to earlier.”“Yes, sir,” James agreed. “Last night, while you were drunk, I boarded you on a private jet and we flew to Florida.”“Florida?” Lucas echoed the word, stunned. Just then, James’s voice cut in again.“Sir, why don’t you come have breakfast first? I’ll explain the reason we’re here.”Lucas nodded, and soon after, he headed to the dining room. Because the mansion was so vast, James had to guide him along the way.When Lucas settled into an elegant chair, perfectly constructed and touched with gold on every side, he rested his hands on the table and turned to James. “Where is this place?”The dining table was filled with different categories of food—meals he had never imagined he would have. Almost every

Jessica scoffed, then took a deep breath before exclaiming. “Why do you care? If I had the chance to kill him, I would have done it. I don’t want that wretched fool to ever come close to my Clara. Thank goodness there are no more attachments between him and Clara in the aspect of offspring.”Jessica’s words were so inhuman that she sounded like a devil speaking from hell. She didn’t only call Lucas wretched, but also praised the fact that he had lost Amanda, seeing it as a success to detach him completely from her Clara. After a short while, not long after she made those words, she sighed. “Why do you suddenly look so worried about that fool? You know he’s nothing but a leech on Clara’s skin.”It was still unclear why Morgan had suddenly begun to ask about Lucas.Morgan then smiled darkly before speaking. “I’m just glad that he’s no longer a leech to Clara.” He then relaxed back onto the chair he was seated on. “Sis, let’s continue having our fun. Remember, we plan to spend one week

James and Lucas made their way to the management section of the resort. The moment the staff in charge at the office saw James—who had once come with Derick Storm and whom Derick had introduced as his butler—they all bowed their heads, though they still couldn’t figure out who he was with, which is Lucas. Not long after, a tall man with brown eyes came walking hastily toward James. The moment he saw James, he bowed his head before speaking. “I’m sorry, sir, for taking so much time before arriving here.”James grinned. “It’s not that I’ve been here for that long, I just got here.”He then gestured for the man to see Lucas. “This is my master… hucks, the son of the almighty Derick Storm.”The moment the man heard the words “son” and “Derick Storm” he froze.“Oh, goodness… are you for real?” The man was struck with disbelief. It was a privilege to meet Derick Storm’s son, and he had never even known Derick Storm had a son.Wow so this is the son of Derick Storm, his the luckiest man in
