She wouldn't rebel against her family to be with him again.The words tugged at his heart, hearing them directly from her mouth. At the end of the day, she'd always choose to leave him rather than stay. Maybe he hadn't tried hard enough. Maybe she hadn't totally forgiven him yet. “I also don't think rebelling against your family is the best option…” She stared at him with confusion.“There’s another way we can be together without any trouble from your family,” Lucas continued. “What's the other way?” She asked. Lucas shrugged. “Getting into their good books.”Her frown disappeared. She now looked uncertain as if what he said would never work. “I've told you before-”“Minds can be changed, Heidi,” he said. “Do I have to kneel and beg for your grandfather's forgiveness? It's easy.”“Will you kneel and beg for his forgiveness?” She gave him an astonished look.“If that will make him approve of us.”She chortled at his words, her smile mixed with the sad look in her eyes. “That's so

Testifying Lucas was guilty?What kind of bizarre news was that?Lucas hung up brutally after hearing Amanda's words. He strode to the living room and Heidi followed him.“I think it's a joke, Lucas…” Heidi said, struggling to calm the erratic beating of her heart.The AG Group had been stable, and she was right here with him. How could she be on the news testifying against him?The man whose expression was already dark didn't seem to hear her words. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV. “Amanda will know better to crack such kind of a joke.”Right in front of them, the news was airing on the large TV screen.Sitting on a chair and conversing with the reporter was a girl similar to Heidi in both appearance and demeanor.“Heidi Olsen, I believe you're happily married to Steve Anderson, who by the way has been caught up in a scandal recently. Why do you believe Lucas Harrison will target your family's business?”The girl sighed, her eyes sad. “It is common knowledge that Lucas

…Lucas arrived at the GK Group. As he stepped out of the elevator, Amanda hurried up to him with a tablet.“The netizens are angry.” She showed him the comments online. “They all think the GK Group is bullying the AG Group that is already down.”Because that was what Steve Anderson wanted them to think.Lucas wasn't a bit worried about what the masses would say… but Heidi's family.He headed straight to the conference room with Amanda behind him. Sitting across the large desk were all the Shareholders.“Mr. Harrison, regarding the rumors-”“Did the AG Group offend us again and we don't know?”“We believe the Group is already suffering. I don't think it is a good thing to…”Most of them said half of what they intended to say, leaving the remaining words hanging.Knowing the Shareholders were siding with the netizens as well even though some of them looked unbothered, this matter shouldn't only be resolved in the conference room.“The GK Group will hold a live conference. Invite all t

Inside the largest hall of the GK Group…Cameras flashed, noises ripped through the atmosphere, and all eyes were fixed on the stage. The paparazzi occupied most of the chairs, with the Shareholders and other higher-ups sitting on the chairs lined up across the stage.Without waiting for the Group's President's arrival, they bombarded everyone with questions.“So is it true that the GK Group holds a special grudge against the AG Group?”“Once upon a time, the AG Group was one of the most powerful companies in Phoenix City before the GK Group rose to the top.”“Rumor has it that the heiress of the AG Group has once been married to Lucas Harrison, President of the GK Group. Was it a marriage of alliance between both families? Why did it end up in divorce?”“Some months ago, a heated battle took place between Lucas Harrison and Steve Anderson, Heidi Olsen’s current husband. There have been talks that Lucas Harrison vowed to punish his ex-wife and bring her family down. Is it true?”As t

As Lucas kissed her without a sign of stopping anytime soon, Heidi's toes curled underneath her shoes.Her cheeks flushed and she pulled away, her heart racing. “Lucas Harrison-”He frowned, wiping the side of her lips. “You just made matters more complicated, Heidi…” In a strained voice, he said, “Don't you realize you’ve just announced our relationship to the whole world?”His palm touched her bump protectively. “Now you're even in more danger than ever.”With a single flick of his finger, all the security men in the large hall surrounded them. Heidi didn't know there were also bodyguards until they appeared out of nowhere and paved the way for them towards the elevator, protecting them from the paparazzi who stayed behind.In Lucas's eyes was a mix of anger and helplessness as if she'd committed a tremendous sin. Making matters more complicated?It possibly wouldn't be worse than implicating his and his company's name. When they got to his office, even Amanda couldn't hide her d
