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. Kelly wanted to know why she was smiling but she could not bring herself down to tell Kelly that she was slapped by someone whose face was where to scratch her palm whenever the palm was itching. 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. Mary Jay hated the same sex and she had been warning her friend to desist from the act but she refused. Lydia greeted Mary Jay and Mary Jay looked at her from head to toe and had a satisfying look on her face. Lydia's heart raced; she thought Mary Jay was like Shane who was
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. He knew Lydia could not maintain a relationship where she benefited nothing, there was no love in her dictionary than materials. 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
Chapter 120Lucas was not only angry because of Sheila's curiosity, but also a wicked family called the Coopers. He scurried into his room to complete his task. With the help of John, he was able to see account information of Coopers Entertainment. He could have access to it from its end, John had hacked the system of Cooper and Lucas had access to their database, he could see anything going on in that company. He didn't bother to check the movement of his family there, he knew they would not sit there and have their evil plans. They would rather go elsewhere and do their meeting The awaiting movie had 2% more awaiting orders. Many media had been placing orders for the movie to be shown on their media, and each of them would pay nothing less than 10 million to have the right to the movie. There won't be direct sales of the movie because of embezzlement and extra cost of production, Lucas did this to cut costs and avoid loss, who knows the debt Coopers might be owing. He always u
Chapter 121"I don't need to call him, we are going to meet at Mary Jay's birthday and I will ask him when we have a chance to talk. I don't want him to see me as someone that likes money, more so, we are on the weekend, I don't have any reason to call him on the weekend. We will see on Monday" frown formed on her face as she explained "Where is the cloth?" she asked Lucad "Are you that angry?""What do you mean?" she fainted a smile on face"You are asking me for the cloth that is right in front of you " "I didn't know," she checked the clothes and saw that they were still new. She called Kayle and said "I want this cloth to be washed and ironed, give it to Mae and supervise him" she commanded "Okay ma" Kayle collected the cloth and headed out. "I would like to go back to my room, I'm doing something in there before I come to the dining room, I want to go back to it." she stood up finding her way to the roomLucas knew Sheila was not happy, she was just pretending that everythi
Chapter 122Sheila's hand began to tremble, why would Mary Jay say something like that in the presence of Lucas, she knew Lucas might be thinking that they were talking about him behind his back.Lucas noticed her being restless, he was not angry about what Mary Jay said, he had heard what Sheila told her on CCTV camera. He smiled and looked at Sheila with emotion and held her closer. He planted a kiss on her lips and said "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting"Mary Jay shot them a deadly glance and hissed. Lydia who had found her way into the hall gawked at them disdainfully, he saw how Lucas kissed and fumed disgustingly Mary Jay saw her coming in, he walked away from Sheila and Lucas and went to Lydia "You made it here, darling" she smiled at Lydia"Happy birthday" Lydia greeted her with a warm smile on her face"Thank you, where is the lucky guy behind this beauty?" she asked surprisinglyLydia fainted smiled and looked down without giving her reply. Mary Jay understood what s
Chapter 123The anchor called the next program on the agenda before everyone would sit down, he said there would be a game and display of beauty between the ladies in the house, all ladies except the celebrant and her friend wouldn't go for this competition. Sheila looked at Lucas giving him a disapproving gaze for the game the anchor mentioned"Go! You will win!" Lucas saidSheila scoffed and said "Do you know any other dirty thing they will do over here today? The best is to find our way" "Do you think you will be comfortable if you stay back and do not participate, you have come here, and you have to be part of the party"Her face etched with worry, Lucas patted her on the shoulder and said "Go, girl " She smiled and headed to the stageShe could not disagree with Lucas any longer, she believed in him like her religion. Becoming an artist was his encouragement and persuasion. The ladies were in a straight line and started walking and showing what they had. The sight of Sheila b
Chapter 124"I will use my mouth to clean his shoe; he will lick my ass if he wins," said Jeo, a hip-hop artist."I will give him the latest and fastest ride, Bentley 608, and he must give me the same if he loses or comes home with me to be my servant. That is what people like him do."Michael, who was a renowned model, came forward and mockingly said, "If he loses, I will have a one-night stand with his babe, and if he wins, 5 million dollars for him.""Lucas clenched his fist when he heard what Michael said about having a one-night stand with Sheila; his eyes were bloodshot as he shot the man a dreadful glance when their eyes met. He remembered when Lydia was caught with Jared, feeling a surge of blood flooding his head.He was determined to win whatever game they would play. He believed in no special game other than boosting their achievement or counting how much money they had since he was perceived as a poor man.Michael sneered, 'You don't need to react now; save this energy unt
