The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Lucas's eyes narrowed dangerously after hearing his mother's words.

Apparently, his mother blamed Nora for their company's break with the Miller's Group.

"This has nothing to do with Nora. If the Miller's Group is going to fight us, we won't afraid of them. Besides, I haven't settled with the Miller's Group yet, and their Group is going to make unfounded countercharges." Sophia didn't understand what he said.

Devin did hear something.

"So you know what's going on? Talk it over."

Sophia heard this, looking at Lucas.

Even Evelyn looked at him quizzically.

Lucas didn't try to hide it, either, he sat down with Evelyn.

But instead of saying anything first, he pulled out a few sheets of tissue.

"Wipe your face."

He handed it to Evelyn with guilt in his eyes.

"We have wronged you."

Evelyn, who had already felt wronged, felt a little hot in her eyes because she wanted to cry when she heard this, but she held back, feeing warm in her heart. "That's all right. Tell mom what happened first."

She saw Sophia's impatient expression out of the corner of her eye, persuading him.

Lucas nodded, speaking of what he had hidden.

"Envy has conspired against me several times with other people..."

He simply told what had happened half a month earlier, making Sophia be dumbfounded.

"That's impossible! Envy is not that kind of person."

She automatically contradicted what he said.

When Lucas heard this, he did not speak immediately, but looked at his father.

In fact, he had anticipated his mother's attitude.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for the Miller's Group to make a move before telling them what he knew.

Evelyn was too shocked to know what to say.

Just like Sophia, she knew how Envy felt about Lucas, so it's impossible for Envy to hurt Lucas.

But it was Lucas himself who said this, and he didn't need to disparage Envy.

So this was probably true.

She sat silently, for it was too much for her to say.

"Well, since there's proof of all this, and Lucas didn't have to frame the Miller's Group, that's the way it is."

When Devin saw his son waiting for him to speak, he looking around, said deeply.

"But..."

Sophia tried to say something, but Devin interrupted.

"There are no other questions. Lucas did the right thing, as there is no reason for others to plot against us, and we have to swallow insult and humiliation silently." "That's true, but the Miller's Group remove their investment and we lost a lot of money."

Sophia still grumbled.

Devin compressed his lips, unable to argue.

Evelyn didn't know what to say, looking at Lucas consciously.

Lucas patted her hand, saying deeply.

"It's better to lose money now than to lose more later, and I'm not going to let the company lose money for nothing."

Apparently he had plans, but he didn't want to talk to Sophia.

It was not that he did not trust his parents, but that the plan was not yet fully implemented, so the less people knew about it, the better.

Thanks to Lucas' assurances, Sophia and Devin left without another word.

"Come on, you go upstairs and change."

After his parents left, Lucas accompanied Evelyn upstairs to change clothes. "My mother is a little impatient and she doesn't look at things objectively, so I hope you don't care about what happened just now." Evelyn knew he was trying to ease her relationship with Sophia, so she shook her head in understanding. "Don't worry. I won't take it to heart, as mom is just worried about the development of the company." After she had finished speaking, she felt a little guilty. "Sorry, I seem to have caused you trouble again."

Although Lucas didn't say why Envy was trying to frame him, she had a guess.

Maybe the person Envy wanted to frame was not Lucas, but her. It's just a mistake to frame Lucas. Lucas saw the guilt on her face, taking her to his arms.

"You don't need to think too much. It's not your fault, so it doesn't have anything to do with you."

Evelyn smelling the fragrance from his arms, she was feeling better, but she was not relieved.

"Although I don't understand how the company is operating, as the Miller's Group is going to remove the investment, the chain reaction will be very large. So the directors of the company will be dissatisfied, and I'm worried that you will be challenged." After she finished, she looked at Lucas, her eyes full of worries.

Lucas looked at her worried eyes, feeling warm and heart-broken.

"Rest assured, the withdrawal of capital by the Miller's Group is not going to do too much harm to the Hawk's Group." he said. "Again, it's not our fault, so the directors of the board is not going to say anything."

He whispered, kissing Evelyn on the forehead.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Again, if the Miller's Group sticks to its guns, I'm not going to let them off the hook. Don't worry."

Evelyn nodded.

For the next few days, Jing Du was in full swing.

In particular, the contradiction between the Hawk's Group and the Miller's Group has caused a great uproar in Jing Du.

Since the two Groups had been close to each other before, many people thought that the two Groups were joking around. It wasn't until the two Groups got into a Stock-market war that everyone believed that the Miller's Group and the Hawk's Group had actually broken up.

These two days, the two Groups were in the business competition.

It has destabilized the volatile Stock market.

Either the Hawk's Group's stock index was down a few percent today, or the Miller's Group's stock index would be down sharply tomorrow.

The hearts of investors rose and fell with those stock indexes, and they couldn't stand it any longer.

Even some of the shareholders with the heart problem, they were stimulated into the hospital by this matter, adding a lot of talk to the two Groups.

Of course, for the competition between the two Groups, there were many people happy to see it.

After all, no matter which group suffered, it was their chance to get ahead.

But the Miller's Group was not as powerful as the Hawk's Group.

Although the two Groups were on a par, the Miller's Group owed its history to the help of the Hawk's Group.

Because of this, the Miller's Group was often constrained by the Hawk's Group.

In other words, in this contest, the Hawk's Group consistently outperformed the Miller's Group.

Employees at the Miller's Group knew this, and they were even angrier.

Most importantly, in this contest, the Miller's Group couldn't afford to lose.

Otherwise, the Miller's Group would have no face to develop in Jing Du in the future.

"Envy, as you've been in regular contact with Lucas, what do you know about the Hawk's Group? Is there any way to knock down the Hawk's Group?" Envy's father was also cornered, asking a stupid question.

However, Envy didn't realize that, or rather, she wanted the Hawk's Group to have more bad luck.

Because that's the only way that Lucas would come to beg her!

She wanted Lucas to regret what he did to her!

"There must be a way, if we try!"

She gritted her teeth, saying deeply, her eyes full of tricks.

As no one knew what she had in mind, there was a gleam of determination in her eyes. "Dad, I have an idea!"

"What is it?"

Envy's father looked at her in surprise.

Envy said resentfully. "Since the Miller's Group can't compete with the Hawk's Group right now, what if we ask for help and team up with someone else?"
