Chapter 56 – We are not close
Lydia was stopped at the reception of Smith Group and left in disgrace.
She could not help but recall the times before Jonathan was forced to marry that bitch Liliana.
She was the woman of Jonathan’s dream and could get in anytime she wanted without prior engagement.
The truth was Jonathan only ever let her inside when he was sure to be called into a meeting in a few minutes and she would then be forced to leave.
Deep in his heart, Jonathan knew Lydia was not his Lil, but he could not snub her outright since she clearly knew something about it. So, he had adopted this tactic.
Lydia was too dumb to realize it.
Lydia stormed inside the Aprice Group whilst reminiscing about her wonderful past with Jonathan.
She barged into Lester Aprice’s office and shooed everyone away despite the fact that the people Lester had been talking with were major shareholders of Aprice Group and were older than even Lester.
The shareholders looked at Lester coldly and huffed.
They were veterans of the company and knew that the Aprice Group was originally the Petrova Factory.
The only reason they had stayed behind was to see the Petrova heir take her rightful place and right all wrongs Lester Aprice had done.
To watch Lester Aprice squander his wife’s property while pampering his mistress, and dote on his step-daughter without any principles after throwing out his biological daughter who was the actual owner of everything he owned was quite distasteful.
Experienced as they were, they were aware that they had no choice but to swallow the humiliation and keep quiet. Aprices would have their reckoning soon.
Lydia played coy with her father and, expectedly, he agreed to send her for the confirmed appointment with Jonathan which was three days later.
Aprice Group had proposed a collaboration with Smith Group. While Jonathan was not keen on collaborating with them, the appointment had been fixed in advance and he had to show courtesy and attend. He had an image to maintain after all.
The appointment was at a downtown cafe which was famous for its privacy and ambiance.
Jonathan arrived exactly at the appointed time and frowned on seeing Lydia rather than Lester.
“Jonathan! You are here. I have been waiting for you for such a long time.” Lydia pouted coquettishly.
“Call me President Smith, Miss Aprice. I don’t think we are so close.” Jonathan tried his best not to belch on seeing her act.
“Jonathan, how can you be like that?” Lydia could not suppress her anxiety as she exclaimed, “We have been together for so long. I only went to study abroad so I could be a better person who could match you.”
“Miss Aprice, call me by my name once more time and I will make you wish you had never met me.” Jonathan threatened her directly, ignoring her piteous cries.
Lydia felt a chill down her spine.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
