Chapter 76: Carter Corporation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Cheyenne heard what Lucas said, her face was full of shock. She didn’t expect him to confess that he liked her.
All of a sudden, Cheyenne was flustered. She only raised her head to say to Lucas apologetically after a long while, “I don’t feel that way about you yet. I’m so sorry…”
Lucas shook his head and said softly, “It’s okay. It’s my business that I like you. You don’t need to feel pressured. Just treat me as an ordinary suitor. If you think I’m not too bad, and you take a liking to me someday in the future, I’d feel fortunate. However, if you still don’t think I make the cut in the end, I won’t force it.”
Hearing Lucas’s kind and understanding words, Cheyenne was even more at a loss for words. She gripped the tablecloth with her fingers, overwhelmed with a complicated mood.
Seeing this, Lucas smiled and changed the subject. “Don’t think too much. Have breakfast before it gets cold.” As he spoke, Lucas pushed the bowl of porridge toward Cheyenne.
“Okay.” Cheyenne picked up the spoon.
Soon, breakfast ended with a calm and peaceful ambiance.
After breakfast, Lucas intended to drive Cheyenne to work at the Brilliance Corporation, but she asked hesitantly, “Can I drop by the Carter Corporation first?”
“Of course.” Lucas nodded without saying much or asking the reason.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the entrance of the Carter Corporation.
Cheyenne looked at the familiar signboard from inside the car, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. But in the end, she opened the door and got out of the car.
“Hey! Isn’t that the woman who got chased out by the Carters? How does she still have the cheek to come to our office?”
As soon as Cheyenne got out of the car and regained her balance, a sarcastic voice sounded. It belonged to Bryce Carter.
Cheyenne glanced at Bryce with an icy gaze, not wanting to speak a single word to him at all.
Ever since Bryce colluded with Brad Douglas to abduct Charlotte and bring her to the Luxe for him to defile her, Cheyenne’s hatred for Bryce grew to the extreme.
But he was still standing fine in front of her and asking her how she had the cheek to show up here. The person who was truly thick-skinned and disgusting was Bryce!
At this moment, Lucas got out of the driver’s seat and stared at Bryce indifferently.
The glance instantly made Bryce’s body turn cold. He immediately recalled the scene of him being frightened by Lucas to the point of peeing in his pants. He even thought about the disgusting incident that happened between him and Brad Douglas after Lucas drugged him. The mere thought of it made him feel unbearable pain.
“Y-you’re not dead yet?” Bryce took two steps backward in horror. But when he remembered that this was at the entrance of the Carter Corporation, he immediately felt more courageous and began glaring at Lucas while gritting his teeth.
After Lucas did that to him and Brad on that day, Brad clearly said that he would never let Lucas go, that he would make Lucas die a miserable death!
For this reason, Bryce bore with the pain in his body and waited excitedly for two days. But why is Lucas Gray still alive and kicking? Has Brad Douglas not started executing his plan for revenge yet?
Cheyenne said to Lucas, “I’d feel disgusted if I talk to him again! Let’s go look for Grandpa.”
Hearing this, Bryce immediately blocked the two of them. “Hmph, you want to go inside the Carter Corporation office? Forget about it! You have already been kicked out and disowned by the family. You have no right to enter our family’s company again!”
Hearing this, Cheyenne sneered. “If you don’t want the Carters to make a comeback, go ahead and stop me for all I care. When Grandpa finds out, you’ll just have to bear the consequences.”
“What do you mean by that?” Bryce immediately asked.
Cheyenne took out a document from her bag. “This is the letter of intent for the Brilliance Corporation’s plan to cooperate with the Carter Corporation. If you don’t need it, I’ll leave immediately.”
A letter of intent to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation?! Bryce’s eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the document in Cheyenne’s hand.
“How did you get this? Where did you get it?” Bryce said eagerly as his eyes burned with zeal, wishing he could snatch this document from Cheyenne immediately.
A few days ago, Flynn Davis had invited several families to attend the opulent and grand banquet, during which he even announced that the Stardust Corporation would soon reach a long-term strategic partnership with the Brilliance Corporation. Many were envious of the Brilliance Corporation instantly rising high and gaining the favor of countless companies of all sizes.
The current Brilliance Corporation was on a completely different level from what it used to be when it was under the management of the Carters.
Now, a single letter of intent of cooperation from the Brilliance Corporation would be enough to make many small and medium-sized families vie with each other for it, let alone a small family like the Carters who had just overcome a crisis.
Cheyenne raised the document in her hand. “I’m now working at the Brilliance Corporation, and I’m also responsible for the cooperation with the Carters. If you decline on behalf of the Carters, then forget it.”
Bryce naturally didn’t dare to say that he didn’t want it, even though he didn’t want to see Cheyenne at his family’s office ever again.
However, if he really refused, his grandfather would never let him off after finding out!
While feeling frustrated, Bryce stared at Lucas, who was beside Cheyenne, and suddenly laughed. “Haha, Lucas, do you think that Cheyenne will willingly marry you just because you’re following her around?”
Lucas retorted with a raised brow, “That’s between me and her. It’s none of your business.”
“Hahahahaha!” Bryce suddenly guffawed loudly with a hostile and evil gaze. “Hmph, this woman has long slept with many men. Back then, she went to hook up with Flynn Davis in order to clinch the cooperation with the Stardust Corporation. She must have slept with a random man again to get the Brilliance Corporation back. You’re just an idiot who thinks that Cheyenne will accept you because you’re so devoted!”
Cheyenne turned red in fury and snapped, “Bryce Carter! What nonsense are you saying?! Don’t think everyone is as dirty and obscene as you are!”
“Hah, am I wrong? The Brilliance Corporation was taken away by the Stardust Corporation, and all the Carters who worked there have been sacked except for you. Isn’t that proof? Don’t be so shameless!” Bryce gibed sarcastically as he stared at Cheyenne.
Smack!
She slapped Bryce hard on his face!
