Today's incident really had hurt her. She didn't understand what wrong she did today. Every time she'd made an effort to win over his heart, he'd always let her down. And today it all went out of hand. He did not only not appreciate her efforts, but also got angry at her. It was really unbearable for her.
"You should've been aware of the rejection you'd face when you wanted to marry me." Lucian's cold voice cut through the silence.
Her angry gaze shifted to Lucian as she yelled aloud, "Oh? Now it is my fault? If you've forgotten Lucian, it is you who have cheated on me for Amelia. You continued meeting her in secret even after gotten married to me." She gritted her teeth. "Now know this, Lucian. You can only be with her in secret for the rest of your life. Because even if I die, I would never ever give you divorce." Shelly bellowed before leaving the bedroom.
After the door closed with a loud thud, Lucian's anger subsided slightly. His restless eyes wandered around the room, observing everything that was arranged by Shelly. It even made him feel inexplicably irritable. How did he end up here! He sighed.
Their families were in good terms with each other for many years, and to be honest, he had always treated Shelly like a little sister. Even if she was a little headstrong, he always behaved more tolerant of it. But now that they suddenly became a couple, it was beyond his acceptance. And as a result, his attitude towards her turned harsher.
He summoned Lily and asked her to clean the bedroom.
When Lily entered the room, she instantly realized what might have happened. She took a quick glance at Lucian and saw him smoking. He was half reclined on the sofa and staring blankly ahead of him. She didn't interrupt him and immediately started cleaning the mess Shelly had made to create a romantic atmosphere.
Lily seldom saw Lucian smoking. So, when she saw him smoking, she knew right away, he wasn't in a good mood.
After cleaning the room, she went dow
hen the company is really making a decision!"
"Mr. Jonny, if you are determined to take over the An Group, the An Group will reach the heights soon. And I'm sure about it. But if it's still Edmund running the company, I'm afraid, tomorrow wouldn't be any good. We can't be sure."
"Speaking of this, I have to apologize to Mr. Lucian. If my wife wasn't greedy and didn't demand a lot of fortune from me, I would have definitely helped the Zhan Group."
"Yes, you're right. We shouldn't believe in what Edmund said. Since he seems to be gradually walking away from the shareholders, I'm sure he'll understand soon how tough Mr. Lucian had been throughout."
During the whole time, Lucian listened to all the statements the shareholders were making silently.
Lucian was not that type of person who would go wild with excitement and lose his temper and reputation. He didn't verbally show gratitude to these supported shareholders. He was sure that the An Group was not in a good condition now, even if the An Group was rich and powerful, once they lost connection from the shareholders, it would do no good to the development of the An Group.
In addition to that, he had controlled a lot of Edmund's crooked exchange records, including some dirty tricks he had applied to suppress the Zhan Group.
"Come on, Lucian. Let's have a drink." It was Jonny. Jonny, on the other hand, didn't say anything the whole time. He had just listened to the rest. While the shareholders were toasting to each other, he raised his glass and smiled to Lucian meaningfully.
After the meal was over, all the shareholders left. Only Lucian and Jonny were stayed behind in the deluxe room.
Finally Jonny began talking to Lucian what he had intended to say for long. "Lucian, I absolutely know, the behaviors of those shareholders are disgusting, indeed. But as long as their target is Edmund, we have to greet them with a smile." Then Jonny took a sip of his wine while giving Lucian a cautious exchange.
