Chapter 125Michael gawked at him disdainfully and snickered, "He wrote the number in his head, the money he can never make one percent of it in his lifetime.""Here is the account number; make the transfer,' the anchor gave him the account number."Where is the number that will receive an alert?"he asked confidently."I will receive the alert; stop fooling us and give up" Mary Jay said."Let your phone be on the table for everyone to see." Lucas suggested."Who the hell is he to tell me to drop my phone on the table? Do you know how much I bought it, and what would you do if it falls and spoils? if you work for 20 years without touching your salary, you can never gather money that will buy it."Mary Jay finance patted her on the shoulder and persuaded her to drop her phone "Babe, leave your phone on the table; I will buy another one if it spoils. This trash man needs to be disgraced here."Lucas took out his phone and started carrying out the transaction, they all watched him doing i
Chapter 126Sheila, who could not hide her joy and vengeance at the same time, charged at Michael and slapped him hard. Smack! The echo of slaps filled the air. Where did she get the courage to slap him? Seeing the current balance on Mary Jay's phone boosted her confidence. "How dare you think of sleeping with me? If you were placed on my dead body, I'm very sure I would wake up, pervert!" she spat. Michael's eyes instantly turned red. No woman had dare lay a finger on his face, not to mention his palm.He gritted his teeth in annoyance, as he couldn't do anything for Sheila.The giant instantly stood behind her so that no one could touch her. A wicked grin spread across Lucas's face when he saw Sheila in action, as if Sheila had known what was on his mind! Michael needed to be taught a great lesson!Everyone's jaw almost fell to the ground. The shock of the unexpected slap gripped the room. Silence hung heavy as fear flickered in the eyes of others. No one dared to speak, afr
Chapter 127Charles, who was first on the list, was shocked to discover the list resurfacing. He hastily removed his sweat-soaked suit, dropping to his knees beside his lady, pleading for Lucas's mercy.Other men kneel when they see Charles, who invited them to the party, on his knees begging for Lucas' mercy. They did not hesitate, that might not have happened if Steve had not been at the party. "Please, don't let me walk naked home, I might be arrested by force and it is going to ruin my reputation""Me, too, I don't have money to buy Bently I mentioned I was just joking, I know you will win" "We don't deserve your forgiveness, please forgive us, don't take anything we promise you, we will treat you right next time"Lucas glanced at Sheila, who empathized with those men, unable to fathom they had ruined the party. Why do problems always arise when we go out together? Are we destined to be together to seek revenge on whoever humiliates us?These were the thoughts going on in her
Chapter 128 Everyone was happy that Lucas set them free, most of their ladies who had been crying hugged their partners and continued wailing in joy they felt as if their partner went to the war front and came back alive. The horror look on Lucas was enough to send them into a frenzy. All men knelt and said thank you to Lucas. Some wanted to ask about him being in low key but fear could not make them ask. Adrian mustered courage and asked "I don't mean to pry into your affairs how did you get the money, you will have a nice dress if you are truly rich" he stammered as he asked "Thank you, let me finish with Micheal, I will tell you everything about it" He replied Lydia was there watching too, she wanted to know how Lucas came about the money "Listen, everyone, who hasn't paid up for my bet yet?" They all echoed, "Michael Marcus." The echo of Marcus's name pierced through his heart as if he had captured a long-term enemy. Micheal, son of King Marcus! A wicked grin spr
Chapter 129 "If anything happens to Lucas, you didn't get him in trouble, let's assume he died, May God forbid it, he would die as a man not a woman in trousers, you should be thankful you have a hero by your side" Kelly retired Sheila shot her cold intimidating glance and said sarcastically "Maybe you should go and kill him now to die as your hero" Kelly chuckled and said "He is not my boyfriend, I don't do men" "Not my man either, we are just friends, I will make sure nothing happens to him," she said with determination "Are you saying nothing is between you and Lucas despite the chemistry? She pouted her mouth and said "OMG! I always see you like a bad girl who instantly picked the man her friend divorced" "Keep seeing me as that, I don't care" "Forgive me, I won't look at you that way again, you better be fast before the faulty vehicle starts moving again" "What do you mean? "Don't you see that Lucas loves you? Sheila quickly responded "You mean it" "Yes, I saw him
Chapter 130Suddenly, as if a jolt surged through him, Lucas slammed the brakes, bringing the car to an unexpected halt on the road. They both swayed and Sheila shot him a cold glance. His eyes widened in shock, a mix of surprise and anxiety echoing in his mind, as Sheila's acknowledgement about buying a gun for him sank in.He had no right words to respond to Sheila because he knew she wanted to bring out something sensible from her prank. He kept mute and continued driving. "I don't know what gave you the confidence to dare Marcus, I don't know if you know how wicked he and his progeny are" she complained facing the other side Lucas started whistling knowing that Sheila would react and looked at his side. He stopped when she didn't respond and continued driving. Sheila gawked at him and said "Why did you stop""Because it is disturbing you," he said focusing his gaze on the road. Do you have an idea of who King Marcus is? No, I have not encountered him before, what do you know
Chapter 131As they made their way home, Sheila and Lucas cracked jokes as she always did in her house. She feared King Marcus because his name never left her mouth and Lucas did not see it as anything. They reached their destination peacefully, Titan had been waiting for them outside, he greeted both of them and they returned the greeting and walked inside. Their stomach decided to growl at the same time and Sheila looked at Lucas and asked "What is making noise in your body?""Nothing, I don't think the noise was coming from my body but I could hear your stomach" Lucas replied with a playful grinSheila was eager to retreat to the kitchen and cook but Kayle, came out to tell them she had prepared food for them before their arrival. "Ma'am, I know you will be coming back late, I have prepared food for you""Oh! Thank you""I will be heading to dining to serve it ma""Alright, we will join you soon"Sheila searched Lucas's gaze but she could not see what she was looking for in hi
Chapter 132Her jaw dropped, a cold shiver ran down her spine, and her father's revelation about the truth of her relationship with Lucas hit her like a sudden storm. She could not believe her father knew about it and stammered," Does Mum know about it too? "No, she doesn't, she wouldn't have hated him as much. Lucas is indeed our helper but don't form relationships with him, if he is not interested, take your mind away from him. I'm sorry for not loving you when you were young, no one loves a child as much as parents do, and that is what is causing your low self-esteem, please dear, never think of any relationship with Lucas because all I could see was you were emotionally down over him. "Sheila's father advised her She retorted "He promised me a surprise tomorrow, maybe he wanted to ask me out or propose.""If that does not happen remember I will always love you, forgive me for my past."Lucas woke up from the couch and started finding his way back to his room, he passed the fron
