After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love Chapter 570
The whole incident had done exactly the opposite of what Xena and Blake intended.Investor confidence had shot up.Companies that had been on the fence were now ready to commit, and some were even considering increasing their investment.Lucas had turned the entire situation to his advantage.Xena glared at him with pure hatred.If looks could kill, he would have been dead several times over.Standing at the front of the room, Lucas took in everyone’s reactions.Things had gone almost exactly as he had expected.When he first received the list of companies attending the meeting, he had noticed Shaw Corporation’s name immediately.Given Fiona’s recent attempts to get close to him, Lucas had suspected she would show up.And even if she didn’t come herself, he was sure she would send someone in her place and try to get involved in the project.He had told Ivy what he thought.After discussing it, they had agreed to handle the situation as it came.If Fiona wanted to invest, L

Lucas’s words left the room completely silent.Xena and Blake both looked furious, but neither of them had much of a comeback.They knew perfectly well that Shaw Corporation’s main business had little to do with the industries this project was targeting.Fiona had insisted on investing anyway, so they had gone along with it.They just hadn’t expected Lucas to point that out in front of everyone.Most projects were happy to take money wherever they could get it.Whether an investor’s business actually fit the project usually came second to securing the funding.But Lucas had rejected Shaw Corporation’s money over and over again.Could it be that this project really wasn’t short on cash?For the first time, Xena started to wonder.She had barely looked at the project details.All she knew was that it was being developed in partnership with the city.Beyond that, she hadn’t bothered reading much.The moment she heard Fiona wanted to invest in a project Lucas was running, ange

Blake had successfully talked her around.Fine.She would invest twenty million and make Lucas regret every second of it.“Blake, you actually make a good point.”Xena lifted her chin.“Fiona made it very clear that Shaw Corporation has to invest in this project, so of course I’ll follow her instructions.”Her gaze settled on Lucas.“If Lucas apologizes to me right now, I’m willing to invest twenty million.”By the end, she wasn’t bothering to keep her voice down anymore.She wanted Lucas and everyone else in the room to hear her.All he had to do was apologize, and Shaw Corporation would still invest.As far as Xena was concerned, she was being generous enough to give him one last chance.Seeing that she had finally agreed, Blake turned toward Lucas with a pleasant smile.“Lucas, you heard her. Ms. Xena is willing to let this go and give you another chance.“Don’t be so stubborn.”He smiled as if he were being perfectly reasonable.“You’re a grown man. Is saying sorry

“Kenneth!”Before Kenneth could finish his apology, Lucas cut him off.They had been best friends for years. Lucas knew exactly what he was about to do.He gave Kenneth a firm shake of his head.Xena was the kind of person who took a mile whenever someone gave her an inch.Even if Lucas backed down and apologized now, she might not accept it.Knowing her, she would probably use the opportunity to humiliate him even further just to make herself feel better.She had done it plenty of times in the past.Lucas knew better than to expect anything else from her.“But, Lucas...”Kenneth hesitated.Lucas looked completely confident.He silently mouthed, “Don’t worry.”Blake caught the exchange.His eyes flickered as an idea came to him.He needed to accomplish what Fiona had asked without upsetting Xena.This was the perfect opportunity to smooth things over.“Ms. Xena,” he said quietly, “Ms. Shaw cares a lot about this project. We’re already here. We can’t exactly go back wit

Blake had chosen his words well.Could a project lead who let his emotions dictate major decisions really be trusted to make a project like this profitable?Quite a few people in the room clearly agreed with him.As the crowd started murmuring again, Maya wiped the sweat from her forehead.The Shaws really were nothing but trouble.Every time someone from that family showed up, something seemed to go wrong.Lucas had only just managed to calm everyone down, and now Blake had stirred them all up again with a few carefully chosen words.If Maya had known they would cause this much trouble, she would have called security and had both of them thrown out at the door.Forget Fiona.She should have just kicked them both out and been done with it.Seeing Blake undo all of Lucas’s work with only a few sentences, Xena wasn’t angry anymore.She crossed her arms and looked at Lucas smugly.“Lucas, do you even realize what you just turned down?“You thought twenty million was too littl

Blake hadn’t expected Lucas to be so absolute about it.Panic immediately set in.He had wanted to help Xena embarrass Lucas and, if possible, make him lose face in front of everyone.But Shaw Corporation still had to get into the project.Otherwise, how was he supposed to explain this to Fiona?Fiona had made her instructions very clear.Shaw Corporation had to be part of the project.She had even wanted them to fight for the position of largest investor.Thanks to Xena’s refusal to put up that much money, becoming the largest investor was already out of the question.But they still had to secure a place in the project.If they failed completely, Fiona would be furious.Just remembering the way she had torn into him last time made Blake’s scalp prickle.If he had known Lucas would react like this, he never would have pushed things so far.“Lucas, you’re only the project lead. You don’t have the authority to decide which companies are allowed to invest.”Blake’s anger was

Two weeks later, Fiona returned to the country after wrapping up the Hangelia project.At the airport, she saw the private car waiting to pick her up and frowned.“Why is it you? Where’s Lucas?”The night before her flight home, she had specifically asked her executive assistant, Rachel Tate, to

After visiting Zac at the hospital, Fiona went straight back to the company the next day.In the CEO’s office, Fiona sat behind her desk, a trace of exhaustion showing on her cool, beautiful face.She closed her eyes, rubbed the space between her brows, and called out instinctively, “Lucas, get me

“Mr. Lucas York, do you take Ms. Fiona Shaw to be your wife? Do you promise to care for her, accept her, and stand by her through every season of life, whether in good times or bad, in sickness and in health?”“I do.”Lucas stood in a sharp black suit, his tie perfectly straight. A faint, gentle s

Fiona narrowed her eyes at Lucas, looking completely unconvinced.Pain stabbed through Lucas’s chest, so sharp he could barely breathe.So she knew.She had always known he had loved her for so many years. She had known he was willing to do anything for her.And still, she had thrown his love aw
