Lucy Katz heard this and her body stiffened.
She suddenly thought about that night with that person and those embarrassing moments. Her heart could not help but feel a tinge of guilt.
Nonetheless, she never showed these emotions and pouted her lips instead. She flirtatiously said, “If you continue to tease me, I’ll ignore you!”
Mace Smith leaned his head on her shoulders and laughed giddily.
Joel Foster kept watching Lucy from afar.
When he saw her laugh with ease, his expression softened.
This all vanished as Mace appeared.
Joel witnessed the intimacy between the two of them and saw their loving atmosphere. His brain was instantly clouded with jealousy.
His eyes turned a fiery red.
He violently downed his glass of wine and marched towards Mace and Lucy.
At that moment, Joel Foster did not have much time to think. He was dominated by the madness in his heart, which forced him to make this decision.
Lucy frowned as she noticed Joel’s figure because she had a bad feeling about this.
They were childhood friends for close to 10 years. Even if they had not met in the past few years, she still knew Joel’s character well.
Just by looking at that face filled with repressed anger, she could predict that he was about to do something crazy.
For some reason at this critical point, Lucy did not leave with Mace. Instead, she pushed him away, turned around, and tried to hide the panic she felt in her heart.
Mace was taken aback by Lucy’s actions.
He saw the guilt on her face and frowned tightly.
‘What was wrong with Lucy?’
At this moment, Joel swooped in and said, “I have a project recently, I’m not sure if Young Master Smith would be interested in hearing me out.”
Mace was originally still wondering why Joel would come here, but upon hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m all ears.”
Joel’s red-rimmed eyes stared at Lucy’s figure. His voice was light and calm, but the words that came out of his mouth were like a crash of thunder. He forced himself between Mace and Lucy and erupted. “The premise is, you leave her.”
Mace did not even consider and directly rejected him.
“Impossible.”
Lucy fiercely turned around and stared at Joel in shock.
“Joel Foster! What do you mean by this?”
He smirked ruthlessly and replied, “It’s whatever you heard.”
Joel then turned to Mace and added, “A billion-dollar business. I’ll give it to you, but on one condition. You must break off your engagement with her. Mace, do you want this business?”
Mace was stunned at the mention of those numbers. His expression changed and he asked, “One billion? President Foster, are you insane?”
Joel did not answer the question because he was indeed out of his mind. He only countered, “You can just say that you don’t want it.”
Lucy’s face paled.
She had no idea what Joel was up to!
‘One billion. That was not a small amount. Joel casually just gave it away but under the premise that Mace broke up with her…’
‘What did he mean by this?!’
Suddenly, Lucy thought of a possibility.
In the next second, she dismissed the idea.
Lucy could not believe that Joel cared this much about her. She was just overthinking it. Yes, she must be in over her head.
She was only worried about Mace.
Lucy did not know what he would choose.
She looked towards Mace while thinking.
During this time, Mace’s expression oscillated between predicament and determination.
‘Not everyone would be able to casually hand over a billion-dollar business over a woman. At the very least, the Smith family did not have this capability.’
