“Lyra, are you sure?” Elijah asked anxiously, his breath quickening

If Lyra’s guess was correct and the Supreme One had really taken an interest in Lyra, then theSmith family would soar through the social ladder.

Lyra huffed proudly. “That old man had a head of white hair, so he should be around the rumoredage of the Supreme One. And he was extremely ugly, just like the rumors about the Supreme One’slooks. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I am.

“The Supreme One must have taken an interest in me, which was why he’d sent Mr. Simmons togreet us when we’d arrived earlier. But Mr. Simmons mistook Lillian for me.” Lyra approached Lillianwith a mocking look. “Did you really think the Supreme One would take an interest in a marriedwoman like you?”

“I’ve never thought that “Lillian shook her head.

“I’m glad you’re at least self–aware.” Lyra turned back to Elijah.“Grandpa, although Lillian hasobtained the bidding qualification, it’s all thanks to me. So, the president’s seat should belong tome.”

Belinda chimed in, “Lyra is right. Even someone as influentialas Mr. Adamos couldn’t obtain thebidding qualification. Fortunately, the Supreme One has taken an interest in Lyra. Otherwise, givenour family’s current situation, we couldn’t have possibly qualitied for the bidding.”

Jamie nodded along. “Belinda’s right, Since the Supreme One has taken an interest in Lyra, wemust seize this opportunity. connection with Phoenix Corporation and rise to the top.”

Lyra smiled smugly. “But my position as the president would be short–Eved. After all, the SupremeOne has taken an interest in me. It won’t be long before I become the Supreme One’s wife and runPhoenix Corporation alongside him.”

Elijah didn’t replace any fault in this. “In that case, Lyra shall be the company’s president. Lillian can bethe vice president for the time being”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I won’t disappoint you,” Lyra promised confidently

But Ronan and Evelyn were furious

“You brat! Look at Lyra. She’s managed to catch the attention of the Supreme One! What aboutyou? You caught the attention of a useless piece of trash. Damn it!” Evelyn was

furious.

“No, you must divorce that useless piece of trash. You absolutely cannot let that jerk ruin yourfuture,” Ronan added with a dark expression. “Your dad is right. Go and divorce that jackass rightnow. Just the thought of him makes me fume with anger.” Evelyn stomped her teet

“Even if she divorces, she’s still a used woman. Do you think the Supreme One would be interestedin someone like that?” Lyra sneered.

Lucas went even further and mocked Lillian bluntly, “What do you take the Supreme One for? Whywould he want a divorced woman? Not even Mr. Reeves and Mr. Harris would want her now.”

Belinda chimed in as well, “Although Mr. Reeves and Mr. Harris are not as influential as theSupreme One, they’re also from rich families. They wouldn’t possibly marry her. Well, maybe theywould consider taking her as their mistress.”

“You’ve gone too far.” Lillian trembled with anger.

“Shut up! This is all your fault,” Evelyn yelled angrily.

“I don’t think my husband is as bad as you’re making him out to be. I won’t divorce him.” Lillianstood her ground.

Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Evelyn was furious. But she couldn’t do anything againstLillian’s insistence.

“Let’s drop the subject for now. But, he must give us a dowry. He has ten million dollars in hishands, and we have to get it back.” Ronan sneered.

He regretted giving Sebastian the money in the first place.

“You’re right. I’ll go and ask him for it now.” Evelyn turned around and left.

Lillian didn’t manage to stop her in time.

When Evelyn arrived at the hospital, she didn’t beat around the bush and immediately demandedSebastian for the money.

Sebastian d

o didn’t question it and immediately gave the money back. Ten million dollars meant nothing to him.Not long after Evelyn left, Lillian arrived.

“Sebastian, did my mom m come by earlier?” Lillian asked.
