Sloane's eyes widened in shock. “She’s been...”

“Lying low.” Lucas slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Unlike her flamboyant sister, Ms. Cora knows how to
bide her time.” He cast Sloane a meaningful glance. “At this morning's board meeting, she convinced all the
shareholders with just a ten-minute speech.”
“She's clever...” Sloane's words trailed off as her gaze locked on Lucas’ dark eyes; realization struck her. “It was
you?”
Lucas’ voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable weight. “I simply offered Chairman Lyle a more suitable
option.” He lowered his head, carefully peeling the orange in his hand. “After all, a successor facing criminal
charges doesn’t do much for a company’s stock price.”
“So you gave her a push.” Sloane's tone was thoughtful.
“I only handed her the key.” Lucas placed a neatly peeled segment at Sloane's lips. “The door was opened by
Cora’s years of planning.”
Sloane accepted it without thinking; the tangy sweetness burst across her tongue.
“She’s waited so long for this,” she murmured softly. “Looks like Ginnie won't be getting back up this time.”
Lucas’ eyes grew darker. “The most terrifying revenge isn’t a sudden strike; it’s the patience to lie in wait.” His
voice shifted suddenly. “Just like...”

with his thumb.
The sudden intimacy stole her breath; heat flared across her cheeks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing the panic in her eyes, Lucas’ expression deepened, the corner of his mouth curving into a pleased smile.
To him, she looked like a startled fawn, so adorably flustered it made his heart tremble. If she’s this unsettled...
maybe it means she isn’t as clueless as she pretends.
To test his suspicion, Lucas leaned closer-close enough to count the tremor of her lashes.

Chapter 800 She Said She Likes Me
His voice dropped, low and magnetic “Sloane, don’t you have something you want to ask me?”
Instinctively, Aloane edged back, nearly knocking into the wall-until Lucas caught himself with a hand braced
behind her.
He could feel the rush of her uneven breath; amusement glimmered in his eyes. “Your heart's racing: What are
you nervous about?”
“I'm not..” She denied it instantly, though the flush creeping up her ears betrayed her.
Lucas suddenly caught her hand and pressed it to his chest. “But mine is.”
Beneath her palm, his heartbeat pounded through the thin fabric, steady yet just as erratic as hers.
Sloane looked up-and fell straight into the fathomless dark of his eyes. For the first time, she saw Lucas’ own
tension; his uncertainty.
The turmoil in her gaze began to settle.
