Chapter Sixty Two Isla Frustration
“Get out of the way, you pervert!” Isla yelled from her driving seat, slamming her palm against the horn as if it were the source of her rage.Her eyes were bloodshot, swollen from hours of crying, as though she had been diagnosed with some fatal disease. She had cried her eyes dry while speeding home, but now she was stuck—caught in a traffic jam that didn’t seem to move an inch.She banged her fists against the wheel, hitting it so hard as though she wanted to imprint her face on the leather.She hated herself. She hated the world. She hated anyone who dared to overtake her car, even in traffic. She cursed at strangers as if their mere existence was a crime.“Why me?” she whispered hoarsely, though her voice broke and cracked with every word. Lucas’ words replayed in her mind, mercilessly echoing like a stuck record she couldn’t turn off.“I was the anonymous donor.”The sentence clawed through her chest, rattling her bones. She closed her eyes and snapped them open again, her breat
Chapter Sixty One The Face Slap
On another day, Isla wouldn’t have received such a comment with goodwill. Especially not when it came from someone she once considered a nobody like Lucas Wren—the same man she left standing in humiliation at the altar. To her, he had been nothing more than trash she could easily discard.But today was different. Lucas was no longer a Wren. He was Lucas Virellis—the heir of the powerful Virellon Group. And in that moment, his presence carried a weight Isla couldn’t ignore. Even if he spat insults at her, even if he called her father a bastard to her face, she would accept it in silence. She had no choice.“I know,” she murmured, her voice faint, almost trembling. She accepted whatever name Lucas branded her with.Lucas studied her in disbelief. He couldn’t imagine how low she was willing to stoop just to claw her way back into his life. Was this really the same proud Isla Quinn who once looked down on him?If all he did was call her a fool, then he would be lying—because in truth, wha
Chapter Sixty Confession
Isla saw the look on Lucas, the way his brow furrowed, the way his eyes burned with hatred, and how obvious it was that he didn’t want her anywhere near him. That expression alone was enough to pierce her, but she understood exactly what it meant.Still, when it came to her plan, there was no room for retreat. She could not back down now. The strategy she carried in her heart was too important. She must go on with it, no matter the cost. She was determined to bring her father down and dismantle the Virelli family from the inside out. Only then would her own family, the Quinns, rise above them.Even though this was an exclusive event where appearances mattered more than anything else, Isla didn’t care. She was willing to shock everyone if it meant progress toward her goal.To ensure their plan succeeded, she was prepared to humiliate herself publicly. If it meant going on her knees before Lucas, begging in front of the most powerful families present, she would do it.Her voice cracked
Chapter Fifty Nine. Micah Watched
Fifty-five minutes earlier,Lucas and Adrian arrived in the same sleek luxurious limousine. At their entrance, everyone bowed aside from the first family, who were the Jonathan Markham — the president’s family — and Jonathan Markham, the president himself.The Virellis commanded great respect that even when they bowed, no family among the second richest family and the third richest family or the family who had bought tickets in murmured at all.They all wanted to be like the Virellis and they admired the Virellis’ grace and affluence to remain the richest family in the world for over ten years.Lucas walked behind his father, one of the very first times he had walked behind Adrian, his father, as the Virellis that he truly was.Standing before the president, Adrian bowed and thus, Lucas bowed before his father.On the other hand, Jonathan Markham widened his cheek into a large smile. He was so happy that he invited Adrian Virellis and he honored his invite.Jonathan Markham knew one t
Chapter Fifty Eight The Queen of Sarsland Arrived.
Sarsland, they say, was a country filled with Milk and Honey. It was not just a poetic saying; in reality, the land was blessed with rich natural resources. They specialised in coal and crude oil, and they sold these precious commodities to many countries of the world.In this vein, they were known to be rich, and this made their currency highly valued as they were major exporters of crude and coal. The wealth from these exports flowed like an endless river, influencing not only their economy but also their standing among nations.In the same manner, because of their export strength, their Queen, Queen Roseline, was regarded as one of the most powerful rulers in the world. The fact that she chose to come to Velmoria spoke volumes about the relationship between the two nations. And the fact that Velmoria received her with such honor meant even more.These moments were televised throughout all the countries of the world. To some world powers, the coming together of Velmoria and Sarsland
Chapter Fifty Seven Try To Reach Out
Isla paced to and fro in her room like a prisoner counting the days, her heels tapping lightly against the marble floor. Her hands rested against her jaws, pressing into her cheeks as she remembered everything she had done to Lucas in the past.Aside from the fact that she once allowed him to help her clean her wall glasses, every corner of her boutique back then, and aside from the fact that she had never once appreciated him, she now recalled with a sting in her chest how she had cheated on him with Micah over and over again.She could still picture how she and Micah would curse him in private, laughing together as they made jokes at his expense. She remembered other days when she had even cursed him to his face, perhaps on those occasions when he was supposed to come quickly into the boutique and clean up as he always did, but instead, he arrived late.Now, this same man she had treated like he was worth nothing… was the heir of Virellon Group? The son of Adrian Virellis? The only
