Chapter 75 Lucas began hearing noise and decided to trace it further, halting at the entrance of Sheila's room. He heard a man spewing horrible words at Sheila, and he believed it was her father due to the way he accused the woman beside her of having given birth to a useless daughter. Anger surged within him, and he clenched his hands into fists, contemplating whether to go inside and drag Sheila out. Just as he was considering this, Sheila ran into his arms. The man then came to lock the door saw them together and cursed them as useless. Lucas looked at Sheila and said "It is well, you can go and sleep in the room and I will sleep here" "You can't sleep here, I have my reason, maybe we should sleep in your room together" she suggested.

She decided to offer words of advice and scourge his son-in-law-to-be when Mr.Blade who had never said anything other than eating and looking at them with bombastic eyes broke the silence and abused the hell out of Lucas. Lucas was surprised at his behaviour because he had never seen a mouth with a sharp mouth as Mr. Blake. He remembered that Lydia's father was not this brutal, he always got tired after one or two curses, his wife used to help him hurl the remaining negative words he was supposed to say to him, but the reverse was the case with Sheila's father as he could abuse for eternity non-stop. His dark lips never stopped dancing like a live chicken that enters hot water. Lucas's fury ignited, his fist clenched beside him, he felt like beating the hell out of Sheila's father, he looked at Sheila and their eyes m

He always mocks his wife for giving birth to a 'thing' not a child.

Sheila was dumbfounded when Lucas was requesting for the list, she wanted to laugh but did not want him to feel less of himself in the presence of her mother. They finished and Sheila cleared the table. She later went to meet Lucas in his room, she didn't feel shy because she slept there the previous day. She stood at the entrance and started looking at Lucas with a side eye when he was changing into another dress. "Are you set to work?" she asked jokingly "Which work?" he asked "The one you just took from my mum now, you are a consultant, engineer and now lawyer or police which of the two? She sneered "Can you leave the entrance I want to pass, please?" he begged "Wait, let's stop joking, where are you going? She asked him with a serious look"I want to get something for you to eat" he lied"I'm not hungry, tell me where you are going, if you don't I will lock the

Tell me how much you made this month. you have wretched the company with your carelessness and greed" he slammed his hand on the table and yelled at them. He walked to Sean and asked him what had happened to his hand.

"I just want to find him," he said "You don't need to, he will come back home when he is tired of being outside, that is what he turned himself into 27 years ago, leave him. He has a concubine he always finds solace with in the next street," Mrs. Blake explained with expressionless face. It showed that she wasn't bothered anymore that her husband kept a mistress."You said in the morning I should get ready to get my business back, I got a call from one of my managers today that Maxwell reached out to us for collaboration and also cut ties with Gourment Harvests, Do you know Maxwell that you can command the big company like?" she asked, and her face was glittered with a smile"No, ma, I have not done anything to the list you gave me," he said, looking at Sheila's face to
Chapter 81Lucas changed the direction of the marchet and hit the table. Mr Blake shouted when he heard the echo of a marchet on the table he thought his leg had been cut off. He was scared to open his eyes and see the condition of his leg, though he never felt pain, he was sure that his leg had been cut off. Lucas told them to release his hands and legs, and then he moved the leg and felt that it was not cut, he quickly opened his eyes and jumped down from the table. He knelt and begged Lucas for forgiveness that he was ignorant he should just forgive him. "You didn't offend me, Mr. Blake, do you know who you offended? Your wife who called you a human and gave you a beautiful daughter and your daughter that you suffered and killed her self-esteem. Those are the people you offend not me." he explainedHe sat on the floor wailing and mucus was surging from his nose and mouth, Lucas shot him with a disgusting look and began to talk again.

David Blake was embarrassed that his wife rejected him, and he dared not get angry because they were just coming together again after a long rejection because of giving birth to Sheila. He decided to join his wife in the flirt talk. "You are not the one that old, I'm the one, let's start over, maybe we can still have another child," he saidMrs. Blade looked at him disdainfully and said at what age? Are you still on your quest for a male child? She asked, gritting her teeth. Mr. Blade took a towel from the table and cleaned his hands with it, he looked at them and said he was sorry that they should forgive him, he said he was not interested in the gender of a child anymore, he said he just wanted his wife back. "I missed us, I have lived a miserable life for the past 27 years since she was born. I
