After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love Chapter 565
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

That reminder jogged quite a few memories around the room.Several people now looked at Xena differently.Her face flushed bright red.Damn it.She had completely forgotten about that.Still, she lifted her chin and refused to back down.“Lucas, aren’t you being a little petty? It was just one opportunity to study abroad. Are you seriously still holding onto that after all these years?“Fiona did so much for you. Are you really saying none of that mattered as much as one study-abroad opportunity?”Lucas gave her a cold look.“Xena, you got caught lying, and now you’re trying to change the subject?”His lips curled faintly.“Don’t worry. This is only going to get more embarrassing for you.”She had gotten smarter, he had to give her that.At least now she knew how to deflect when things stopped going her way.But Lucas had no intention of letting her.“And then there’s your claim that the projects I handled at Shaw Corporation never made money, and that I even used compan

“Ms. Xena does make a fair point.”“Yeah. My company has never worked with Lucas before, so we don’t really know what he’s capable of. Putting this much money into a project he’s leading does feel risky.”“I’ve worked with him before. Honestly, he was... fine. Nothing special.”“I’ve said it before. He’s always relied on women to get ahead. First, it was Fiona, now it’s Ivy. What real ability could he possibly have?”Before long, doubts about Lucas were spreading throughout the room.Some people were genuinely concerned about the project.Others had old grudges against Lucas and were simply taking advantage of the situation to pile on.Seeing the reaction she had stirred up, a faint smile tugged at Xena’s lips.She looked smugly toward Lucas, who now seemed to have the entire room turning against him.So you thought you could get these investments that easily?Dream on.Maya watched the situation spiral and started to worry.She cleared her throat, ready to step in.“Maya.

Xena had thought she had everything figured out.Unfortunately, things weren’t going the way she had expected.For one thing, no one in the room seemed remotely impressed by twenty million.Kenneth certainly wasn’t going to spare her feelings.He gestured toward the door.“Ms. Xena, why don’t you take your assistant and leave? The rest of us have actual business to discuss.”Xena glared at him.Of course Kenneth would rush to Lucas’s defense.Back when Lucas was still with the Shaw family, Xena had treated him however she wanted, and Kenneth had never dared say a word.Now that Lucas had the Quinn family behind him, Kenneth suddenly thought he could talk to her like this?Still, Xena forced herself not to react.She took a slow breath and brought her temper under control.Her time at Shaw Corporation hadn’t been for nothing.At the very least, she had learned not to take the bait every time someone tried to provoke her.Xena stood and faced the room with a faint smile.“

Blake spoke loudly enough for the entire conference room to hear.He was the first person to openly challenge Lucas.But his objections had very little to do with the project itself.They sounded personal.The people in the room immediately became interested.Did Blake have some kind of grudge against Lucas?Or was he speaking for Shaw Corporation and deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?“This project requires a huge amount of capital,” Blake continued. “For something this important, we need a project lead who’s capable and has everyone’s confidence.”He looked around the room.“If Lucas York is replaced, Shaw Corporation will invest twenty million immediately.”A scoff came from the second row.“Twenty million? That’s it?”Kenneth was sitting directly behind Blake.He leaned back in his chair and looked at Xena with open mockery.“Ms. Xena, this is a business meeting. You might want to keep your assistant under control instead of letting him run his mout

Otherwise, with Fiona’s temper, the situation could easily spiral out of control.Lucas understood what Maya meant and stepped aside.Xena and Blake had gone out of their way to attend, so Lucas knew they had an agenda.Whatever they were planning, he had no intention of letting them interfere with the project.Xena swept past him with her chin held high.Good thing she had found a way to keep Fiona away from the meeting.If Fiona were here, she would probably start going easy on Lucas again, and Xena had no interest in watching that happen.So Lucas wanted to use this project to prove himself to the Quinn family?She wasn’t going to make it easy for him.Without giving Lucas another look, Xena and Blake headed straight for the front row and took their seats.Their arrival immediately drew attention.Shaw Corporation’s main business had very little to do with the project, so most people hadn’t expected them to show up at all.And yet Xena herself had come.That alone made

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
