Chapter 13
Matthew appeared dashing, exuding toughness.
Luna looked envious. She was leaning into Timothy’s arms, but her gaze was fixated on the man in front of her.
Timothy and Matthew were both in their 20s, but the latter looked much more charismatic than Timothy–especially in that black suit.
His face was flawless, and his deep eyes were so intense that his gaze would make others weak in the knees. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone was swooning over him..
Lucy smiled as she looked at the handprint on Timothy’s face.
Her heart seemed to hurt less now!
Timothy’s face fell. Just as he lifted his hand to fight back, Francis rushed in with a group of bodyguards.
A burly bodyguard grabbed Timothy’s wrist, flinging him away. He said in disgust, “Don’t you dare touch our CEO with your filthy hands!”
Timothy tried to calm his rage as he glared at the man who had
completely stolen his thunder.
Matthew looked at him mockingly. “Lulu is my woman now, so don’t even think about laying a finger on her!”
Lucy’s face reddened as her palms clammed up.
Who was he to say that? She was not his woman yet!
Timothy clenched his fists in disbelief.
This man was too powerful, and he was way out of Lucy’s league.
Matthew smirked and said to Lucy, “Lulu, we’ve attended the wedding, so let’s go back now.”
He put his arm around Lucy’s waist. He was noticeably happier when he felt her tense up.
After Matthew left, the bodyguards followed behind him, leaving everyone with questions in their minds.
“Who was that?”
“A guy like him can’t be a nobody in Brookville.”
“That man’s aura is something else. We have to find out about him.”
The wedding proceeded as planned, but Luna could tell that she no longer held everyone’s full attention.
Timothy’s father, Aaron Lucas, heard his phone ring just as the ceremony was about to start.
With that, the ceremony was put on hold.
Aaron sounded distant when he answered the call. “What is it?”
His assistant’s anxious voice was heard from the other end. “Mr. Lucas, things are looking bad. Leon Corporation has pulled out their investment for the fashion show.
“What?!” Aaron’s roar shocked everyone.
“I’m being serious. They withdrew their investment last night. Wel didn’t want to say anything at first because it’s Timothy’s wedding. today, but our share price is crashing.”
Aaron’s face turned pale. It took a whole year to prepare for this fashion show, and he had gone through so much to get Leon
Corporation to sponsor them.
Not only was Leon Corporation the largest company in the world, but
22
the business was also owned by the richest man in the world.
Securing Leon Corporation’s sponsorship would help Lucas Corporation reach new heights, bringing them a step closer to becoming the richest family in Brookville.
Now that this happened…
Damn it, how did this happen?
Aaron forcefully calmed down to ask his assistant, “How much has the share price dropped?”
“We’re almost at zero. Mr. Lucas, you must come to the company right now. Everyone’s selling their shares left and right!” The assistant sounded desperate.
The devastating news made Aaron stumble, and he only managed to stabilize himself with the help of his wife.
Patricia White looked at her husband worriedly and asked, “Honey, what’s wrong?”
Aaron closed his eyes with a grimace. “I need to go. The company is in trouble.”
He left in a hurry without regard for the guests at the venue or the ghastly expressions on the Quinn family’s faces!
