Chapter 32

Author: Deer Woods
Gwen's call came in just as Gideon tried calling again.

Lucille declined his call without hesitation.

"Lucy! Where did you go?" Gwen asked. "I stopped by your place, and you weren't there!"

"I'm at Pinehill Estates. It's quiet here. No one's bothering me," Lucille replied.

Gwen let out a shriek. "What? Since when do you live somewhere like Pinehill Estates? That place is for the top 1% in the country! You're seriously not messing with me right now?"

Lucille pressed her lips together and low

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 562

    "Hey, you coward. That's pretty gutless of you."Watching your friend get worked over like this while you hide over there without making a sound. Tsk, tsk! You know what I hate most? People with no loyalty!"Let's teach her a little lesson about what loyalty on the streets really looks like!"At the yellow-haired woman's command, the red- and green-haired women, along with several others, advanced on Michelle with vicious grins."Strip her clothes off! Grab that rat in the corner and put it right on her chest! She's sleeping with that rat tonight, and she's not allowed to let go! If she does, we beat her!" the yellow-haired woman barked.Without hesitation, the green-haired woman snatched up the little rat they had already tamed and started toward Michelle.Of all the things in the world, filthy vermin like that terrified Michelle the most. As the young women closed in and tore at her clothes, ready to press the rat against her chest, sheer terror overwhelmed her. She screamed ag

    Inside the Coasthaven detention center…The police had locked Michelle and Rayne up with a pack of barely grown street kids, wild young troublemakers fresh out of their teens.In just a few days, these fierce, tattooed, hot-tempered young toughs had tormented the once-untouchable Michelle and Rayne to the point that every day felt worse than death.These reckless kids thrived on stirring up trouble and had cycled in and out of detention more times than they could count. By now, they were seasoned regulars who knew exactly how things worked inside.Whatever tricks Michelle and Rayne had once relied on paled in comparison to what this crowd was capable of. From the moment they arrived, the two had been marked as the easiest targets in the room, fresh meat ripe for the taking.A young woman with bleached yellow hair chewed her gum impatiently as she kicked the metal frame of the bunk. "Hey, you two cowards over there! Go fetch some water so I can soak my feet!"Her two sidekicks, on

    Hamilton's cash flow really was stretched thin at the moment. He had several developments that had yet to launch or go on sale, and his CFO had warned him about the funding shortage more than once.The tourism project promised solid profits, but its location right on the border between Coasthaven and Sopheara created considerable uncertainty about its future.Given the risks involved, he was wary of committing more than 10 billion dollars in a single stroke. That was why he had repeatedly put off finalizing the agreement with the government.Beyond Wanda's fierce advocacy on their behalf, the main reason he favored the Prescott Group was that it was, after all, the leading real estate firm in Coasthaven, with formidable strength across the board and solid connections. A close partnership with them would make it much easier to manage a project spanning both cities.Hamilton said, "Mr. Westbrook, you're really sharp. Since you've laid everything out so plainly, I won't dance around t

    "Miss Vilmer, if you're genuinely willing to help Gideon and get Michelle and Rayne out, I'll personally see to it on your behalf. As long as Lucille finalizes her divorce from my son, our family will welcome you with a proper, grand wedding!"The voice that suddenly cut into the call belonged to Elaine.Wanda had happened to call while Gideon was having dinner with his mother, so Elaine had heard every word she said.At his mother's declaration, Gideon's expression darkened at once. "Mom!"Elaine shot him a sharp look, silently ordering him to stay quiet.A few seconds of silence followed on the other end before Wanda's voice came through, noticeably softer than before. "Is this Ms. Elaine? This is Wanda. It's lovely to speak with you."Don't worry. Michelle and Rayne are already close friends of mine, so helping them out is the least I can do. As for Giddy and me... I'll leave that in your hands when the time comes."A bashful flush of pleasure crossed Wanda's face. Without wa

    Wanda pulled out her phone and dialed Gideon's number.The call connected quickly, and his magnetic voice came through the line. "Hey, Wanda.""Giddy, Lucille and Otto are negotiating with my father right now. They're trying to steal our partnership out from under us.""Yeah. I figured." Gideon's voice sounded flat, tinged with something almost sorrowful.Wanda's voice instantly rose a notch. "You figured, and you're still doing nothing about it? You're just going to let that Lucille climb all over you and—"She caught herself before she could blurt out something crude.Realizing how vulgar she sounded, she quickly stopped and softened her tone. "Giddy, you can't keep going on like this. You need to pull yourself together."I understand how frustrating this must be for you. No man could simply accept something like this. But right now, the priority isn't giving up. It's finding a way to put her back in her place."Gideon had never felt much for Wanda. In fact, he had always fou

    Only then did Otto finally tear his gaze away from Lucille and turn to Hamilton, his tone even and indifferent. "Mr. Vilmer, how would you like to negotiate?"Hamilton smiled at him. "Mr. Westbrook, you and I go way back, and Ms. Sandwell is a good friend of yours, so I won't waste time beating around the bush."For your sake, I hope Ms. Sandwell will consider destroying the footage that could damage my daughter's reputation."Lucille had just raised the drink Otto had refilled for her when she paused and looked at Hamilton. "So you still intend to continue the partnership with the Prescott Group?""To be honest, the Prescott Group genuinely is our ideal partner." Hamilton's tone remained unhurried, but his meaning was clear. In other words, he had every intention of moving forward with them.Lucille and Otto exchanged a glance.Before Lucille could speak, Otto cut in, "Mr. Vilmer, would you be willing to cancel the deal with the Prescott Group and partner with our studio instead

    The moment Gideon opened his mouth, Lucille felt her heart drop straight into hell. "Gwen, stop trying to stir things up. Lucy is baby Connor's aunt. We're all family. If she can help, she should. There's extra milk anyway."'Baby Connor. He said the name with such easy intimacy, as if the boy were
