Chapter 102: Nick and I are married.
Chloe’s face was green and white, she thought the last time was her most humiliating moment, but she didn’t realize it was now.
With tears in her eyes and seeing Lucas there, she just felt her dignity being rubbed on the ground, and for a moment she couldn’t take it and ran away crying.
Victoria’s face didn’t show much expression, and when she saw her run, she pressed the off button in a smooth motion.
Taking the same elevator as these famous young talents, she appeared completely calm. This time, she came to negotiate with Lucas and was also prepared.
Lucas stood right beside her, his tone very gentle, his purpose self-evident.
“Poppy, there’s another really big fireworks display in Veridian City tonight, which we can just about see from our box.”
Victoria raised an eyebrow, grand fireworks?
Veridian City did have grand fireworks every year for New Year’s Eve, and even people from other cities came to visit.
But other times, it was never heard of.
First roses, then fireworks, it seemed this is Lucas’ usual tactic for dating girls.
She smiled a little, “Thank you Mr. Steele. What I wanted to talk to you about was about Mr. Moris’s company and to find out exactly what you gave him?”
Lucas was rejected again, but didn’t get mad, it’s no fun to get there too easily.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Moris, I’d prefer to talk it over when I sit down with you.”
He had a smile on his face just as the elevator had stopped at the very top floor, where it turned out the other three men had also gone.
Nick took the lead, and there was already a waiter standing at the corridor, respectfully guiding him towards the location of the private room he had already booked.
Victoria’s side also came with a waiter, and the two boxes were surprisingly next to each other.
Victoria entered the box and saw the roses spread out from the entrance to the dining room table, the corners of her mouth twitched and one word popped into her head, tacky.
So tacky.
She would never have come here if she hadn’t been really curious to find out what Lucas was doing to loosen up and let other remodeling companies work with her.
She braced herself and walked in, then sat down and smiled at Lucas.
“Mr. Steele is rather amorous.”
Lucas used these methods to chase girls before. If he gave another expensive piece of jewelry at this time, the girls would be happy to accept, as if they met Prince Charming.
So when he heard Victoria say that, he thought she was impressed tonight.
He approached rather confidently and poured Victoria a glass of red wine.
“Dating a woman like Poppy naturally requires a heart.”
Victoria hadn’t been drinking; she’d seen what Lucas could do, and with him being the son of that old pervert Richard Steele, she didn’t dare let her guard down for a moment.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Mr. Steele, I’ve been working with Mr. Moris for almost three years now, and his sudden rejection this time has really put me on the defensive… Three-Beam Group has a lot of connections in the renovation team… I don’t know where I’ve offended you… please tell me clearly, Mr. Steele.”
Lucas shook the red wine in his hand and leaned his back against the chair, the corners of his mouth curving up.
“I thought I’d made it obvious enough tonight.”
He took a sip of his drink and set the glass on the table.
“You’ve been in Nick’s bed, don’t you want to try someone else? I’m actually not that far off from him.”
He thought Victoria would be angry after saying that, but she wasn’t, and the expression on her face didn’t change a bit.
“And does Mr. Steele know why I’m allowed in his bed?”
The smirk disappeared from Lucas’ face and a sharp look crossed his eyes.
“What do you want to say?”
Victoria pulled two IDs out of her bag and placed them on the table.
Marriage license?
Lucas was instantly confused.
He took it, opened it and read it, and when he saw what was inside, his face sank.
“As you can see, I’m married to Nick, and if you don’t believe me, I can call Old Mr. Andrews right now to ask for confirmation. I’ve heard him mention you on occasion, and say that ‘Lucas, like his father, has learned some crooked ways’, seems he is very disappointed in you.”
Lucas stiffened, his face changed and changed, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and say, “I would believe it? This kind of certificate can be copied a whole lot for a few dollars.”
Not to mention Nick treated her so coldly, not at all like a couple.
“I signed an agreement with Mr. Andrews that we would divorce peacefully afterward and just pretend we don’t know each other on the outside. Mr. Steele, you did go too far this time, and since you’re using the financial power and connections of the Three-Beam Group to pressure me, I’ll have no choice but to ask for help from Grandpa.”
When she finished, she was about to pick up the phone.
How dare Lucas actually let her make that call?
Who didn’t know Edward’s reputation? Even his dad had to behave when he met him.
Back then Edward was also a resounding figure in the business world, and his dad was only slightly promoted by Edward at that time, and now he had become the leader of the decoration world. But after that, his dad’s style of behavior was not favored by Edward, and he had not been seen over the years.
