Chapter 550

Author: Sammie Snow
Lucas saw that Ivy looked perfectly fine now, so he didn’t press the issue.

The two went into the dining room and sat down for dinner.

For the past few days, Mr. Quinn Sr. had been spending most of his time at the hospital with Gwen, terrified that something might happen to the baby.

As a result, Lucas and Ivy had enjoyed a rare few days of peace.

Halfway through dinner, Ivy suddenly brought up work.

    Lucas saw that Ivy looked perfectly fine now, so he didn’t press the issue.The two went into the dining room and sat down for dinner.For the past few days, Mr. Quinn Sr. had been spending most of his time at the hospital with Gwen, terrified that something might happen to the baby.As a result, Lucas and Ivy had enjoyed a rare few days of peace.Halfway through dinner, Ivy suddenly brought up work.“Luke, we’ve taken on quite a few new projects lately, and I’m getting stretched pretty thin. I was thinking of handing a few of them over to you.”Lucas looked at her in surprise.“You want me to handle them?”Ivy nodded, completely serious.“Of course. You’re part of the Quinn family now. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be involved in the business.”Ivy had never seen Lucas as someone who was simply married into her family.He was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.Eventually, she wanted to bring him into the very heart of the business.For now, she would

    Kenneth hesitated.“But Serena’s doing all of this because of you.”Lucas’s expression remained calm.“She may be doing it because of me, but that doesn’t mean I have to let her back into my life.”He looked at Kenneth steadily.“Don’t worry. Even if you marry her, it won’t affect me.”Whatever had once existed between him and Serena was already over.No matter what she did now, it wouldn’t change that.But for Kenneth, this was different.Serena was offering him a real chance to solve the problems he was facing within the Grant family.Why shouldn’t he take advantage of it?Besides, Serena was offering the deal willingly.Neither of them was marrying for love.They were both getting something they wanted out of it.Hearing that, Kenneth finally relaxed.“To be honest, Lucas, I really was tempted by her offer. I was only thinking about turning her down because I didn’t know how you’d feel about it.”He grinned.“But if you really don’t care, then I’m going for it.”Th

    “Wait.”Serena bit her lip, clearly forcing herself to make a decision.“One day. Give it one day, then give me your answer. Okay?”The corner of Kenneth’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.In business, the first person to get desperate usually lost.His hand paused over the agreement.“Fine. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.”Now that she had a definite answer, Serena finally relaxed.“Okay. I’ll wait for your decision. You can go now.”Kenneth didn’t waste any time.He grabbed the agreement, stood up, and headed for the door.He still had plans with that influencer later, and he had no intention of being late.Once he was gone, Serena was left alone in the room.All the sharpness and determination drained from her face, leaving only exhaustion behind.To stay in Jasper City, she had written everything she owned into the agreement.All the money she had earned over the years.Every asset in her name.She could only hope it would be enough to persuade Kenneth.And

    “Oh?” Kenneth’s interest was piqued. “How exactly does that not matter?”Serena’s expression remained calm.“This would be a marriage of convenience. We’d both get what we want, and feelings wouldn’t have anything to do with it.”She continued matter-of-factly, “If you want to keep seeing other women, that’s your business. I won’t interfere with your private life.”After everything Miles had put her through, Serena was done with love.The only thing she wanted from the rest of her life was a chance to make things up to Lucas and see him happy.Marrying Kenneth was simply a way for her to stay in Jasper City.She didn’t want to be married off somewhere far away.She wanted to stay close to Lucas.And Kenneth happened to be Lucas’s best friend.If she married him, she would have plenty of opportunities to remain in Lucas’s life.From the beginning, Kenneth was only a means to an end.Their marriage would exist on paper and nothing more.So Serena truly didn’t care how many w

    Jones?Kenneth suddenly remembered Cherrie Jones, the friend Lucas had mentioned before.Cherrie and Serena had once been best friends.Could it be...Seeing the suspicion on his face, Serena explained before he could ask.“I asked Cherrie for help. Her parents agreed to legally adopt me, so I have a new identity now. I’m Sienna Jones, the Jones family’s adopted daughter who recently returned from overseas.”Before leaving the hospital, Serena had asked Mr. Fuller for two favors.The first was to find out everything he could about Kenneth.The second was to arrange a meeting with Cherrie.Serena honestly hadn’t known whether Cherrie would agree to see her.The last time they met, Serena had been so determined to defend Miles that she had ended their friendship right to Cherrie’s face.If Cherrie never wanted to see her again, Serena couldn’t have blamed her.She spent two anxious days waiting.Then, to her surprise, Cherrie actually showed up at the hospital.Everything a

    Kenneth slowly turned around.One look at Serena told him she hadn’t held back.Her left cheek was already badly swollen.Her eyes were red too, tears shimmering in them without quite falling.Kenneth had to admit, she still looked stunning.If Serena had been any other woman, he probably would have pulled her into his arms and started comforting her by now.But then he remembered everything she had done to Lucas, and whatever sympathy he might have felt disappeared.So what if she was beautiful?That didn’t change anything.Kenneth spoke calmly.“One more.”He had said two slaps, and he meant two.Serena didn’t hesitate this time.She raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the other cheek.Her skin was delicate, and both sides of her face quickly turned red and swollen.The force of the slap had even knocked a few strands of hair loose around her face, leaving her looking disheveled.With red-rimmed eyes, she looked at Kenneth.“Will you hear me out now?”Fo

    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
