Hehe!
Sheldon cracked a devious smile. “What did you say? I dare you to say it again!”
Lucy replied, “You are the reason I have fallen into such dire circumstances. Therefore, you have to take responsibility on that.”
F*ck you!
Sheldon scowled, “Not only did you not f*cking help me, but you also spoiled my relationship with the Mitxel Group. And now, you want me to take responsibility? You should count your blessings that I didn't kill you instead. Quick, get out of my sight before I teach you a painful lesson!”
Lucy sighed. “F-Fine, Mr. Guerrero. Since you're such a heartless man, don't blame me for what I am going to do next.”
Lucy turned around and headed for the exit.
Wait!
Realizing that something was wrong, Sheldon's heart sank. “What are you trying to say?”
Lucy responded, “I know that the two kids whom you sent to wait on me have served you before. To be precise, they are your 'partners,' aren't they? Haha, I didn't expect such masculine kids to be homosexual. It truly is a shame. If this gets out... Tsk, tsk, I wonder if your reputation will be ruined?”
“F*ck!”
Sheldon eyes widened in rage as he felt the blood rush into his brain.
Those two b*stards must be the ones who leaked my sexual preferences out. They will die for that. But now, what am I going to do? The public cannot know about this secret!
Given that he was reluctant to take care of Lucy, he decided that killing her was the only solution.
Coincidentally, King is in need of someone now.
Sheldon asked, “Lucy, do you really want to continue working in my company and not return to your country?”
She shook her head. “I don't want to go back there. Besides, I can't do so either, for Mr. Jacques is a man of his word. When he declared that he will rescind my citizenship, he will definitely follow through with it.”
Sheldon asked, “Are you then willing to give up everything you have and work for Intercontinental Group?”
Lucy nodded. “Of course.”
Sheldon answered, “Mmm-hmm, I'll give you a chance. Follow me!”
Lucy was delighted to hear his words.
Subsequently, Sheldon drove her to his own estate.
Sheldon's estate was a sprawling piece of land that consisted of almost a thousand acres. There, more than ten mansions of varying architecture dotted the estate grounds.
They were a testament to the economic power of Intercontinental Group.
At that moment, Sheldon led Lucy to the mansion right at the center.
The luxurious-looking mansion was where the former head of the Guerrero family lived.
Upon entering the mansion, Lucy was shocked at how opulent the furnishings were.
Even Mitxel Group's interior design paled in comparison..
Sheldon instructed, “Ms. Lucy, please wait here for a moment, while I see my father and recommend you to him. I believe he will definitely have a good use for you.”
Lucy nodded at once. “Thank you, Mr. Guerrero.”
Sheldon then took the elevator to the top floor of the mansion.
The room there was equipped with a fingerprint lock. Thus, only a specific set of people were granted access to it.
The expansive living hall was covered in darkness, for the windows had long been boarded shut. Consequently, no light could enter the room at all.
Given the creepy atmosphere, anyone who entered would feel their hair stand on end.
It wasn't until Sheldon turned on a dim night light that he managed to see the path ahead.
After that, he crept silently toward a bedroom door.
That door was also equipped with a fingerprint lock.
After knocking on the door gently, Sheldon called out, “Your Majesty, it's me, Sheldon.”
A gruff voice rang out from the room. “Come in!”
After unlocking the door with his fingerprints, Sheldon entered the room.
Inside, the windows were also boarded up, causing the room to be so dark that one couldn't see one's finger at all.
On top of that, there was a musty smell that would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Sheldon knelt on the ground carefully, “Your Majesty!”
A hoarse voice rang out.
“What is the matter?”
Sheldon explained, “I have failed you by not obtaining the partnership rights for Project Mitxel. Therefore, I submit myself for your punishment.”
