no beautiful woman would give him
Moreover, Felix, that ruthless man, had made it clear that no company collaborating with Brooker Corporation should hire him. He was practically blacklisted in Hoverdale.
Now, he couldn’t even think about divorcing his wife.
Callum took a deep breath and said, “I’m not getting a divorce anymore. You can go.”
Lucas was taken aback when he heard Callum wasn’t pursuing the divorce.
“How can you just decide not to divorce when we had everything planned? I was going to win you the divorce and get your wife’s fortune, and you were going to pay me $140,000. You can’t just go back on your word.
Callum was already in a terrible mood, just wanting to get home, lie down, and rest. Once he felt a bit better, he planned to have his wife take him to the hospital.
But Lucas kept nagging, igniting Callum’s fury. His face contorted with rage as he bellowed at Lucas,
“Do you not understand human speech? Whether I get a divorce or not is none of your damn business.”
Life had been rough for Lucas, and he had grown somewhat deranged.
Being publicly humiliated by Callum, whom he referred to as a ‘dead weight, was too much for his ego to
handle.
“It was you, you dead fat pig, who wanted to divorce your wife, and now you’re blaming me? You turned yourself into a far slob in just a month. For all I know, you might have caught some disease from your sketchy escapades that made you like this.”
Stung by Lucas‘ words, Callum lunged at him, starting a fight.
Lucas fought back fiercely. The spectacle was quite the match, an enfeebled overweight man and a legless. disabled man.
The two scuffled, drawing a crowd of onlookers who formed a circle around them, intrigued by the drama.
However, their poor physical conditions didn’t allow for a prolonged fight. Soon, both were gasping for air, separating with faces bruised and battered, looking utterly pitiful.
Callum snorted coldly and dragged his heavy body away.
Lucas, having fallen to the ground, struggled mightily to climb back into his wheelchair and slowly wheeled himself away from the scene.
But he hadn’t gone far when a heavyset woman blocked his path
It was none other than Taylor.
“I heard you have a thing for Lauren? Want to get your hands on her? I can help you,” she said.

Lucas eyed the unfamiliar woman in front of him and frowned, “Who are you? Why would you want to help me?”
Taylor’s lips curled into a meaningful smile, Tm Taylor and I want to help you get Lauren because I have my sights set on Felix.”
Lucas sized up Taylor, imagining Felix being tormented by this heavy woman, and a petty sense of triumph filled him.
If he could match Felix with this Taylor, Felix would become the laughingstock of high society. “Dare to compete with me for Laurie? That’ll be Felix’s downfall
Time flew by, and six months passed. During this period. Taylor and Lucas concocted plans to target Lauren.
Yet, Lauren stayed secluded in the Brooker’s Villa, hardly stepping outside, which thwarted their malicious schemes
Lauren’s health was declining, and all she focused on was speeding up her embroidery work,
Once her embroidery was completed, she planned to leave the country with Mia and Marilyn. After six months of relentless effort, her labor–intensive embroidery was finally finished.
But she didn’t inform Felix or Kate of her completion, planning to let them see the finished piece after her departure.
Now that the embroidery was done, it was time to tend to her own affairs. Her first stop would be the psychiatric hospital holding Alice.
Alice had been confined there for six months. Before leaving the city, Lauren wanted to see for herself what had become of her biased mother.
Only by seeing those who had hurt her receive their karma could she depart this life without regrets.
As her personal bodyguard, Gael would naturally accompany her.
Gael started the car, driving Lauren towards the psychiatric hospital.
The city’s hustle and bustle were shut out behind the car windows. Lauren watched the fleeting street scenes, her mind filled with anticipation of the upcoming encounter with Alice.
At the psychiatric hospital, guided by the medical staff Lauren and Gael slowly walked down the corridor.
