In a sprawling, darkly lit office building, King Marcus's company exuded wealth and power. Marble floors and imposing pillars had created a cold and austere atmosphere, while the employees had scurried around like ants. The slightest mistake could have led to swift retribution, and the feeling of fear and intimidation had been palpable. Even though the company had been doing well financially, it had felt more like a prison than a place of business.Kendrick strode through the doors of the office building, he was there to meet King Marcus being the only one who could help him take down Lucas. As Kendrick entered the office of King Marcus Office, he came face to face with the most formidable bodyguard he had ever seen.

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.

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.

" 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
