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
133Bang"Good morning " Sheila had already woken up but she was in the bathroom freshening up. She heard a faint door knock and answered"Who is there? ""Lucas, good morning""Good morning, I'm in the bathroom, give me 2 minutes I will be done""Alright, I will be waiting at the entrance here"Lucas waited at the entrance of her room, waiting for her to freshen up and surprise her with all that he had prepared. Sheila called Lucas from inside after 3 minutes to see if he was still there. "Lucas, are you there? ""Yes, I am, can I come in?""Yes"Lucas entered and looked everywhere, he had missed his room. That was the first time he would enter and they moved into that house apart from the day they looked around together. "Are you ready?" Lucas said with a cold voice, his face lacking expression. Sheila's heart thumped faster in her chest, she was scared, nervous and restless when Lucas asked are you readyShe mustered courage and said in a low tone "Yes""We will head out now b
Chapter 134Embarrassment engulfed him as he retreated inside.He slammed his fist violently against the wall, unleashing a torrent of anger.He couldn't bear to face Sheila again, his trust was shattered. In a moment of blind fury, he bled his frustration onto her, believing she was like other women who couldn't be trusted. Misinterpreting her phone conversation with her father, he weaponized his appreciation as revenge, not realizing the love expressed was familial.Sheila found solace in her father.As Sheila sought refuge in her father's comforting words. Her father served as a pillar of strength, urging her to forge herself into a resilient woman, and advising her to abandon the tumultuous connection with Lucas. He warned that if Lucas sensed affection from her, Sheila should let him stay put into the illusion, enduring the repercussions of his past actions.Men didn't appreciate what came to them freely, that she should allow him to pay the price.

Chapter 135Lydia was happy that the 50 million dollars Lucas donated were not his, and she was not okay with him being able to manipulate someone to cough up the whole 50 million dollars. "What did he tell him to release that kind of money to useless Lucas?" she paced up and down hitting her fingers "I know he is good at manipulation but 50m dollars is too much? Why couldn't he use the skill to get more money when they were together?" she muttered to herself. She remembered how he manipulated Harrison and Elle's contour to insult her mother. She slammed her palm on the table and threw everything there away. This got the attention of her father who had been busy watching sports news on television, he was shocked at Sheila's action, they just finished talking about something before he focused his attention on the news. What could have happened? She neither called someone nor received a call. He glanced at her, he knew Lydia was worried. He allowed her to stop her m*dness befor
Chapter 136Lucas got a message fromMaxwell that 5 percent of his sharerevenue would be allocated to 30 smallbusiness management under Maxwell.Maxwell emerged as the most powerful player in the business landscape, overseeing diverse operations that include funding small businesses and dominating the computer manufacturing sector.Being that Lucas's share would be given out this year, the signature would be needed. If the companies were giving the money to make a profit, their share would be increased and if they made a loss their share would be reduced. That was why a little portion of the share should be given out. He had to be there in person to review the business of those whom the money would be given, and study their past performance before signing it. He scoffed and he saw the text and promised to be there the next day.He told Fabian not to bother about the task he gave him, that he would do it himself. He rushed out the next morning without waiting for the food. Sheil
Chapter 137.He whistled as he passed her side and Mrs. Brandon said, "Loser!"This made Lucas spin and said, "Let's see who the loser is!"He sarcastically said, "Ma'am, I heard that you are looking for me, here I am?""I don't need to look for you anymore, you have trespassed and I leave judgment into his hand.""Whose hands?""King Marcus will soon find it, enjoy your freedom while it lasts, King Marcus is busy attending to something, and when he is done, he will find you even if you enter a rat hole. Manage the last privilege he gives you, use it to beg for forgiveness and stay away from evil". "What motherly advice! You should have given that to your daughter, I think she needs it most" Lucas said, teasing Mrs. Brandon. "Poor man! hold your lips or else I hold it for you, I didn't know how Miss. Brandon ended up with trash like you." "Because you never asked" Lucas mocked "I'm sure you are enjoying being homeless, is that bag at your back containing the rags you put on""Hun
Chapter 138"Find her!" Lucas commanded "I'm on my way, sir" Steve had never heard Lucas's stern voice fidgeted and scurried out of his office. Steve had Bluetooth in his ear that transmitted noise waves from the phone into his ears without anyone knowing he was on call. Knock "Who is there?" Sheila asked "Mr. Steve" the manager responded "Good morning Mr. Steve""Good morning Miss Sheila, have you received your payment?""No, I haven't seen anything""It is in process, you will receive an alert very soon""Okay thank you sir, and also thank you for the support you gave me and my friend at Mary Jay's dinner party, if not for you who provided the security, I would have been in the hospital by now.

He was protecting Sheila like his molar bone. Steve swiftly left Sheila's office and continued his conversation with L
"Please, Sheila, I looked down on you and your man" Mary held her hand "Your contract has been terminated, what are you still waiting for?" she growled"Should I call Giant to beat you out of this place?"Mary Jay felt a surge of anger in her and she could not beg her again than to insult her, "Shut up and stop blabbing, so you are indeed dating the CEO and using that rag to cover up, shameless whore" she spat"It is nice dating the CEO at least I'm dating your boss and you consider me as your boss" Sheila said sarcastically "Who will consider a side chick as a boss? I will make sure I find the real wife and expose you." Mary sneered "What do you know about the CEO? What does he look like? Do you know if I would be the real wife you are looking for? Now you found me, tell me how you want to deal with me?" she sarcastically said to protect her skin. If that was all they had been saying behind her back, there was no way she could deny it other than using it to her advantage. … Lucas
