Chapter 22: She’s My Wife

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Karen didn’t expect that Lucas could really take out so much money on the spot. She stepped forward, grabbed the stack of bills, and took a few of them out while muttering, “Where did this good-for-nothing get so much money? Surely they can’t be fake, right…”

After realizing there were no issues with the bills, she looked at Lucas in bewilderment again. “Where did you get the money? I saw you take it out from the car. You didn’t take Charlotte’s money, did you?”

Charlotte obviously didn’t dare to let her mother continue and frantically pushed Karen. “Enough, Mom. This money does belong to him. Since you’ve received the money, why do you care where it comes from? I’m hungry. Go make dinner quickly.”

Having received fifteen thousand dollars for no reason, Karen entered the house in a wishy-washy fashion.

Cheyenne breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lucas, who was holding the joyous Amelia and looking at her with a gentle and expectant gaze. Not knowing what expression to make, she led Lucas upstairs with a solemn expression.

She decided to let Lucas stay at her home entirely for the sake of her daughter.

Soon, Amelia’s gleeful giggling came from the room upstairs.

Karen was whipping a spatula around and making loud, clanking sounds. “She’s so noisy. I really don’t know what’s good about that father of hers. She just loves sticking to him.”

That night, Amelia clamored to go to bed in Lucas’s arms. Being no match for her daughter, Cheyenne had no choice but to place an extra mattress for Lucas in her room.

However, Cheyenne was full of frustration and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time. She was not just vexed about the Stardust Corporation but also about Lucas.

Holding his fast asleep daughter and listening quietly to Cheyenne’s breathing near him, Lucas felt his heart ache.

The two of them each had their own thoughts and couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

The next morning, Lucas got up and went out to call Davis.

At this moment, it was only past six in the morning, and Davis was feeling frustrated because the ringing of his cell phone was disturbing his sleep. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately shuddered and sat up in shock. “Good morning, Mr. Gray.”

“How are the negotiations going with the potential partners of the Stardust Corporation?” Lucas asked calmly.

Davis didn’t expect Lucas to call him bright early in the morning to ask about work. He frantically answered, “There are many companies that want to cooperate with us, such as…”

“Is there anyone from the Carter family?” Lucas interjected.

“The Carters? Oh, yes, yes. A Cheyenne Carter came several times yesterday afternoon, but I haven’t met her yet. After all, the Carters’ company is small and not qualified to cooperate with us.”

After a moment of silence, Lucas said tersely, “Cheyenne Carter is my wife.”

Davis could sense the penetrative chilliness in Lucas’s voice over the phone! He immediately panicked and apologized in fear, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Chairman! I didn’t know about that. I’m really sorry. The Carters…”

“Add them to the list. Send them a contract later, but don’t reveal my identity.”

“Yes, Chairman!”

After Lucas hung up the phone, Karen happened to be going out to get milk while stifling a yawn. When she saw Lucas, she immediately questioned with animosity, “What are you doing loitering at the door early in the morning? Are you a thief?”

Lucas didn’t bother with her and helped carry the milk into the house.

After breakfast, Lucas accompanied Cheyenne to send Amelia to the kindergarten and then accompanied her to the Brilliance Corporation.

Cheyenne wanted to refuse because the Carters hated Lucas, and he would only be berated by them if he accompanied her to work. However, Lucas insisted. After staring at him for a long time, Cheyenne had no choice but to give in. She said dejectedly, “Suit yourself.”

When the two arrived at the Brilliance Corporation, Bryce was sitting in the conference room and listening to the loud chatter. Of course, they were gossiping and laughing about Cheyenne, whom he had always disliked.

“Ah, some of you have no idea that some people just like blowing their trumpets even though they’re actually incompetent. Cheyenne Carter made several trips to the Stardust Corporation yesterday, but she didn’t even get to see the general manager. I saw her standing there for a long time on the verge of tears. It’s such a shame she couldn’t even get into the office!”

“Haha, does she think she’s still the former chairman of the Brilliance Corporation? She’s now just a low-level manager. The Stardust Corporation won’t be impressed with her. However, it might work if she tries to make use of her good looks and sells her body. After all, she’s quite the beauty!”

“Hahahaha, that’s right. But unfortunately, that good-for-nothing got away with her…”

Bang!

The door of the conference room was kicked open and slammed against the wall with a loud bang, giving everyone in the room a great shock.

Cheyenne was standing outside the door with a pale face while Lucas stood beside her, his expression cold and menacing.

“What are you doing?! How dare you throw a fit at the Carters’ company?!”

Lucas glared at the people in the conference room and was just about to give them a warning, but Cheyenne pulled him back. “Enough. Don’t cause a stir here.”

Lucas took a deep breath and didn’t say anything.

Seeing that Lucas was ‘chickening out,’ Bryce and the others were about to sneer and mock him, but a senior executive hurriedly walked over.

“The chairman is here with Mr. Wilson. Hurry up and prepare all the documents and contracts. Don’t make any mistakes!”

On the other side of the corridor, Dominic Carter was walking over with a middle-aged bespectacled man. “Mr. Wilson, I haven’t congratulated you on inheriting your father’s legacy. You’re young and promising! Regarding our cooperation…”

Before he finished, the bespectacled man interrupted him and pointed at Lucas, who was standing near the door. Gritting his teeth, he hollered, “It’s you?!”
