From His Invisible Wife to the World's Icon novel Chapter 151

“She has no legitimate reason to back out.”

“The Sutton Group could sue, but I'd rather keep things quiet. We shouldn't drag family matters into court and put you and Lydia in a difficult position.”

“Besides, from the looks of it, she only has a few years left anyway.”

“Once she's gone, the medical patents will pass to you and Lydia.” Arthur Sutton suddenly shifted his tone. “No other company can afford such exorbitant licensing fees.”

“Continuing our partnership is the best outcome for both of us.”

“And the medical center's IPO won't be affected...”

“Mr. Sutton, rest assured.”

“I'll discuss it with Madeline.”

Frederick Foster leaned back, the shadows obscuring his expression.

“It's because of your efforts that her health has stabilized these past two years.”

“If you ask, she'll have to agree if she has any sense of shame left. It's not like she can take the money to the grave,” Arthur said maliciously.

Lydia's heart leaped into her throat as she suddenly heard a faint, “Hmm.”

Disbelief washed over her. She shoved the door open, startling Arthur into whipping his head around. Frederick slowly sat up. Meeting his dark, predatory gaze, she demanded, “And if my mother refuses? Will you use her life to threaten her into giving up the patents?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Arthur snapped, recovering quickly. “Where were you all night? You didn't even come to pay your respects to Grandma Eleanor.”

“I won't let you get what you want.”

“My mother hasn't needed your medical team for a long time!”

Lydia turned to leave, only to see Joanna Quinn pinning a disheveled Sierra Sutton to the floor down the hall, landing heavy blows while Sebastian Vane stood by, watching the show.

Arthur rushed out behind her and immediately bolted over to break up the fight.

She couldn't let Joanna get hurt, so she hurried over as well.

Just then, her wrist was seized.

She was tugged gently toward him, forcing her to look up at his impassive face.
