Declan’s face was pale. He had completely foiled the matter regarding the cooperation. How could he face the people in the company when he returned?

Hearing this, Estelle panicked too. “You guys can’t be such bullies! Mr. Davis, you clearly promised to cooperate with our company prior to this, which is the reason we rushed all the way here. How can you go back on your words?”

Davis frowned impatiently. “When did I promise to cooperate with you?”

Estelle said indignantly, “When my father called your company a few days ago, you clearly promised to consider cooperating with us!”

When Davis heard that, he was irked yet amused.

He didn’t remember promising to cooperate with the Sunshine Corporation, but it turned out that they had taken to his excuse, which was just a common response given to all companies.

Thinking of this, Davis lost interest in arguing with the ignorant Estelle. He simply beckoned the waiter to bring them out.

Feeling indignant, Estelle wanted to say something, but Declan hurriedly stopped her and dragged her out of Lion Restaurant.

“Why are you stopping me? I haven’t suffered this kind of mistreatment since I was a child!” Estelle slammed her Hermes bag against the floor and threw a tantrum.

“Ah, I’m doing this for your own good. If you keep prodding and end up pissing off Flynn Davis, the Sunshine Group will be in huge trouble too. Your father might be implicated as well,” Declan said as he picked up Estelle’s handbag and patted the dust off of it for her.

“He’s not as impressive as you make out to be. He’s just the general manager of a company in Orange County. What’s the big deal?!” Estelle was agitated.

“Hey, pipe down!” Declan hurriedly pulled Estelle to the side, fearing that others might hear what she said.

After looking around and realizing that there was no one around, he whispered into Estelle’s ears, “If it’s just Flynn Davis alone, it’s not a big deal. But the Stardust Corporation is not simple at all. It’s backed by the Huttons, one of the eight wealthiest families of the capital! You should have heard of how powerful and rich they are.”

Estelle had obviously heard of the Hutton family, who were well-known in the country.

She finally knew what the consequences of offending Davis were, and she couldn’t help but be a little terrified.

However, Davis was not in the mood to hold it against a small fry like her now.

Davis and Sawyer were standing in front of Lucas with respectful smiles and trying to persuade him to have a meal with them.

However, Lucas shook his head and declined. “No thanks. I’m having a meal with my friend here. You guys go ahead.”

Since Lucas refused, Davis and Sawyer naturally couldn’t stay behind any longer. Instead, they ordered the restaurant staff to prepare all the signature dishes as quickly as possible and send them to the private room where Lucas and Charlotte were.

Soon, various colorful delicacies that smelled heavenly were delivered to Lucas and Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at the sumptuous spread on the table, but she didn’t move her fork and knife.

After seeing that scene just now, she had a ton of questions for Lucas, but she didn’t know where to start.

“Didn’t you say you want to treat me to a meal? The dishes have been served. If you’re not going to dig in, I will.” Lucas didn’t care what was on Charlotte’s mind and instead just started eating casually by himself.

Charlotte picked up her utensils and began eating, but the thoughts in her mind made the food seem bland and tasteless.

Charlotte began to think about the details of events that occurred after Lucas’s return.

She thought of the large chest of expensive betrothal gifts that the Sawyers had delivered to her home and the fact that Ethan Sawyer said later on that they were thank-you gifts for Lucas.

Just now, Ethan Sawyer and Flynn Davis were obviously polite and subservient to Lucas, as though… Lucas was their superior. But was that possible?

Another incident was when they were at the kindergarten, and Lucas and Jordan displayed their terrifying combat skills. They even looked like they had killed and witnessed bloodshed before, as they could break limbs and fight without hesitating.

The day before yesterday, Lucas also saved her at the Luxe, and when they finally left, the security officers in the club looked at Lucas with horror and fear in their eyes.

What kind of a person is Lucas?

What exactly did he do during the years he was missing?

Charlotte was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice that she had been staring at Lucas for a long time.

After having his fill, Lucas wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he realized that Charlotte was still staring at him blankly with her fork in her hand.

With raised brows, he knocked on the table. “Why do you keep staring at me? Do I have food on my face?”

Only then did Charlotte suddenly snap back to her senses. Her face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head to polish off the food on her plate.

Unfortunately, she didn’t even put any food on the plate and was just pretending to eat to hide her embarrassment.

“There are so many dishes in front of you. Do you prefer eating air?” Lucas asked in bewilderment.

“It’s none of your business!” Charlotte hollered, angry because of her embarrassment.

After that, Charlotte suddenly felt that she and Lucas were finally back to the way they were before, and she felt a sudden sense of relief.

Forget it. No matter who he is, it’s enough as long as he treats Cheyenne and our family well.

In the afternoon, Lucas drove to the Brilliance Corporation to pick up Cheyenne from work.

Although Cheyenne was very familiar with the Brilliance Corporation, and there was no need for her to be ferried to and fro, Lucas still wanted to do his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.

After waiting outside the Brilliance Corporation for a while, Lucas saw Cheyenne coming out with a crowd and was about to walk up to her…

All of a sudden, a man dressed fancily rushed forward and knelt on one knee in front of Cheyenne.

“Seth Miller?” Cheyenne was stunned beyond words.

Seth raised the diamond ring nestled in a box in his hand and gazed at her affectionately. “Cheyenne, I genuinely adore you! So much has happened at home lately, but I still can’t forget you! I think about you all day, and I even dream of you at night. Every day has been so bittersweet for me!

“So, I’ve decided to propose to you. Cheyenne, marry me! I will definitely bring you happiness!”

Many staff of the Brilliance Corporation and passersby surrounded them upon the sight of the street proposal. They started taking photos and cheering loudly, “Say yes! Marry him!”

Cheyenne was so furious that her face turned red, and she snapped, “Seth Miller, what are you trying to do? I’ve already told you I’m married. I have a husband and a daughter. I won’t marry you!”

Huh? He’s proposing to a married woman on the street?

That’s exciting!

More and more people started crowding around them, and many of them even began imagining countless versions of horrible storylines.
