Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 562

“You’re awake? Are you okay?” Lyle asked worriedly. He was about to walk towards me but was stopped by someone.

“We haven’t agreed on the terms yet, Mr. Smith. It’s best if you don’t step forward now. Your ex-wife is doing okay. I didn’t lie to you, did I?” the person said plainly as he blocked the former.

“Terms?” I glanced at Lyle, and then at the rest in the room. Suddenly, I realized that because of my bad luck, I encountered people who were competing with Lyle to get contracts or investors. However, they were unsuccessful, so they turned their attention to me.

But am I really unlucky?

Back then, the incident with Lyle, Crystal, and I caused such a huge commotion in Avenport. It wasn’t a secret that I was Lyle’s ex-wife. However, these people seemed to have mistaken something. Where did they get the confidence that this man would give up on his benefits for me? After all, the person he always loved was Crystal.

If Crystal hadn’t made so many mistakes, tricked Lyle, and even tried to take over the Smith family’s assets, it wouldn’t have been my place to speak.

“Just say what you want.” He took a glance at me, a guilty look on his face. He must have never expected me to be dragged into his mess.

“It’s simple. We were the ones who were supposed to have the project. If it wasn’t for you getting in our way and taking it away from us, we wouldn’t have lost such a great opportunity. As long as you sign the contract that says that you’ll give me the project, I’ll let go of your ex-wife,” someone answered.

“For no other conditions?” Lyle scoffed. “I’ve already spent fifty thousand just for this project, and I finally got my hands on it. Why should I give it to you just like that?”
