Leaving the company, I felt dazed,
Hah. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
How could there be such twisted logic in this world?
As a teenager, I fought desperately to prevent my stepfather from forcing himself on me.
Later when I got together with Lucas, I always refused to let him touch me.
It was only after his repeated questioning that I finally told him.
When he first found out, he was so angry he wanted to kill my stepfather with a knife.
But now he could casually tell a third person about it.
It was just the passage of time, I suppose.
I wiped away my tears and contacted the person who had messaged me before.
After that scene with Lucas at the company,
Someone had reached out to me not long after..
I knew it was about the shares 1 held.
But at that time, I thought it hadn’t reached that point yet.
So I rejected them all.

Now I hated Lucas to the extreme, and naturally didn’t want things to go well for him.
These shares were of no use to me anyway.
“Ms. Olivia, do you want to keep part of the shares, or…”
I lowered my eyes.
“Keep half.”
Visibly, he was very disappointed.
But I wanted to keep some protection for myself.
“Alright, if Ms. Olivia changes her mind in the future, feel free to contact us anytime.”
With a large sum of money in hand, I felt a bit lost.
After thinking it over, I donated some money to children in rural areas.
I stayed at home for a while, making new travel plans.
I was planning to go traveling in a few days.
It had been a long time since I’d gone out, it would be good to relax.
My phone rang, I glanced at it.
It was Lucas.
Looks like those people had caused trouble for him.
I put the phone aside, ignoring it.
The ringtone kept stopping and starting again.
As if he would keep calling until I picked up.
Just like how I was a few months ago.
I should just block him.
Things had gotten to this point.
