Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0170

Silence descended the room, wrapping everywhere like a cloak of thick blanket. People exchanged looks before they settled their gaze on Lucas.

I looked at Lucas' unfathomable expression and I wondered why he was doing all of these? What was the need for this power he was seeking to gain? Why did he have to take revenge after he had forgiven them? Had he been waiting all these while for Doris to be out of the picture before he made his move?

I sighed. I couldn't quite fmdrag my gaze from this man addressing everyone, his eyes willing everyone to raise their hands and vote to support him. He seemed too unfamiliar, too cruel. Where was my softhearted Lucas? The one who shrugged and said, "it's all in the past now."

A hand slowly raised in the air and all heads turned to the man that raised his hand. Almost a second later, another person raised their hand, voting their support and in mere minutes, several hands of the shareholders that supported Lucas were up in the air.

As they continued to raise their hands, my heart sank further down, I could already see Mark losing his position and I imagined Lucas cruelly kicking him out of the company. It was funny how I was able to easily conjure up Lucas doing something so insensitive. I guess it was all lingering underneath the surface all these while.

There was no talking him out of this one.

The door to the conference room suddenly burst open and all heads turned to see Mark leisurely and confidently stride in, his chin in the air and his assistant in tow. When he was well into the room, he glanced at everyone with that indifferent set of facial expression,

He tutted nastily, "A shareholder meeting was going to be held and no one informed me?" He raised a mocking brow, "You think that would make removing me from my position any easy?" He scoffed and settled his biting stare on Lucas, "How desperate are you?"

Maybe it was his hypocrisy or the assured way he spoke but slowly, most of the shareholders retracted their hands.

processed them. They discreetly looked between themselves. Quite alright, Lucas' offer sounded more inviting and mouth watering even though he was new amongst When Mark was in charge as the CEO of GT Group, he was autocratic and had absolute speaking rights. He never bothered to seek anyone's opinion, though he made decisions that prospered the company, a lot of the shareholders
