Rewards
When Lucia woke up in the guest room, August and Joshua had both left. Even Flynt was nowhere to be found. The
mansion now looked empty. Fortunately, Sophie was there with her and comforted her from time to time. Her
depression was relieved.
After breakfast, they went to the Lion Group and the Adams' residence separately. Paula would have her psychological
counseling, and the routine shareholders' meeting of Lion Group was also held today. Flynt had gotten the clothes. ready, providing her with a modified car and the strongest man from Griffith. He would serve as her driver and
bodyguard.
On the other side of the city. August was standing on the rooftop against the cold wind, indifferently overlooking the entire Sunrise District. Flynt's men had been deployed to blend in the crowd. He only needed to wait and act upon
receiving the news about Mark and Ethan. He was ready to finish the task as soon as he could.
He gently rubbed the ring on his ring finger. The coldness grew stronger in his eyes. His phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and changed color. He fumbled through his pocket before feeling a small black 'button'.
When Lucia came back to Lion Group again, she had a new identity. The news of her taking August's place as the acting president spread in the office. Except for those pretentious shareholders, everyone nodded respectfully to her. "Ms. Mitchell, about Mr. Adams' whereabouts, you should give us an explanation today."
As soon as the meeting started, a shareholder took the lead to challenge her, and the others echoed. Lucia's nails tightly caught the edge of the table. She forced herself to calm down and play tough with these snobbish people.
"Since when did Mr. Adams have to report his activities to you guys?" She gazed at the speaker and coldly asked, "Are you planning to overstep your authority or take his place?"
As she sassed back, the shareholder flew into a rage. "We are the shareholders of Lion Group, and Mr. Adams is the only president we recognize. Not anyone can shit on our heads."
The others nodded and echoed, "Mr. Adams is young and enterprising. We respect him for his accomplishment, but now a callow girl is lording it over us. What are we taken for?"
"The company is in turmoil, and she is in charge. I'm afraid the company won't get far."
"What do you think of this? Is Mr. Adams being controlled like the former chairman? Such a change of personnel is not
normal."
All kinds of opinions went into Lucia's ears. Her heart was racing, and her palms were sweating. The coldness in her eyes grew stronger. After everyone poured out his grievances, the conference room fell back into quietness. Only then did she
speak in an icy tone.
"I am August's wife and not anyone as you mentioned. You're showing no respect for Mr. Adams. Except for my identity as Mrs. Adams, I also hold shares in the company. Since you're here, why can't I?"
The shareholder changed color, not expecting her to be so difficult to deal with. He gnashed his teeth and talked more
harshly.
"If you're like us, you have no right to stand in that position or make any decisions on behalf of Mr. Adams."
Lucia laughed in such a way as if she had heard a funny joke. She looked at the shareholder and said, "If no one is here to make decisions, the company will stop functioning. I supposed you know that. Don't you want to make money
anymore?"
"Lion Group is a conglomerate, and we don't need you to boss us around."
"That's right. You're ignorant and arrogant. This kind of person is the scourge of the company."
"Look at her attitude. If such a person is in charge, we won't have another peaceful day."
Those people condemned her till Lucia was irritated. She picked up the folder and threw it into the corner of the room. Following a bang, a vase there shattered on the floor. Everyone quieted down, looked over, and then shifted their

attention back to her.

Are you done? It looks like only the clink of money can have your attention." She arched her brow and pointed to the
vase with her chin, "Sorry, the genuine artifact has been sacrificed for everyone. The bill will be on you guys. "Stop making a scene! This is outrageous!"
Lucia looked over, picked up an ashtray, and raised her hand. Fearing that she would smash it too, the shareholder
reluctantly shut his mouth. She nodded with satisfaction, smartly took August's seat, and proudly faced the crowd.
"Guys, go with the flow. I suppose you all know the rule. Now that I'm at the helm of Lion Group, you guys are just meat
on the chopping board. I hope you'll know the trend. Even if you want to deal with me, you should do it after I leave this
position," she scoffed.
No one in the crowd had seen this side of her. In their minds, she had always been a weak and incompetent girl. Now
