Chapter 114Sheila didn't want to go further because of Lucas's facial expressions, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on his mind."I don't know your chairman, so if you lose your job so be it" she sneered"I'm sorry ma, he said you are powerful and can stop supply into his store, his decision is final, only you can talk to him. Please, have mercy on me. I do not deserve your forgiveness " "Then stop begging,"She gestured to Lucas and they prepared to leave the store. The manager quickly grabbed Lucas by his leg and continued begging. "Please, help me beg your wife sir" he was drenched in sweat and became disoriented.

He was not deaf when Saun was saying what Sheila told him 7 years ago, he thought they might have probably tied the knot. Lucas violently shook his leg from his grip and he fell on the floor. "I will forgive you because of your wife who is battling cancer"

Chapter 117Lydia was extremely happy that she acted the scene with Sheila, and used the scene as an opportunity to retaliate against the slap Sheila gave her in her home. A satisfying smirk spread across her face as she was dressing.

She just said nothing They both walked out of the dressing room and Mary Jay met Kelly on the way. She knew Kelly was as stupid as her friend Shane and she hissed when she passed by her, Kelly didn't bother to react she just walked gracefully like a tomboy and shot her a mocking glance.

Chapter 118.Lucas had been watching everything happening from the surveillance room. Lucas's eyes flickered with satisfaction as he observed Jared and Lydia's combative exchange through the CCTV camera.

A light grin spread across his face, and a glint of amusement danced in his eyes as he watched the unfolding scene of their disagreement. The drama seemed to amuse him, and he relished the sight of their discord. As the tension escalated on the monitor, Lucas leaned back in his chair, revelling in the unexpected turn of events. The satisfaction in his expression hinted at a secret pleasure derived from witnessing the clash between the two, a thought snapped into his mind and he rewinded to where Jared kissed Lydia hard. He knew it would happen since he brought them under one roof. He cropped the scene and saved it in his flash. "This is enough to fini
Chapter 119.Sheila did not bother to wash dishes since she had maids who could help her to do it. She just put the dishes in the washer and came back to the dining room. He saw Lucas reading and pondering about what he read from the invitation card. Sheila quickly met him to ask about going to the party together. "How has your day been today? " she asked focusing her gaze on her fingernail"Not bad, I practised well today, I have located a library, and I will be going there often to practice my skills on my laptop""That is great, hope the library is not too far from here?"Lucas was silent for a while because he knew Sheila might have requested a visit to the library, if he lied that the library was not far, he might not have had an excuse for any time she requested a visit. "It's a bit far, don't worry about the transport, I'm managing the $5000 you gave me recently""Tomorrow is Saturday, will you be free? ""Not really but if you have any errands to send me, let me know""I d
