His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 637:

Lucas swept a lazy gaze over Rhys, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he said, “Minna tried to pull a dirty trick on my woman. Do you honestly expect me to just let it slide?”noveldrama

“Minna was wrong to target Miss Wright,” Rhys quickly said. “I admit that much! But Miss Wright wasn’t hurt in the end, was she? In fact, it was my daughter who suffered the most!”

Lucas chuckled coldly. “Minna brought all of that on herself. Belinda only managed to escape the trap your daughter set because she was smart and cautious. It wasn’t because Minna had some last-minute change of heart. You understand this, right?”

Rhys was left speechless. A long silence passed before he finally asked, “Then, what do you propose we do, Mr. Clark?”

Lucas said, “I will give you two options. For the first one… Since Miss Williamson is the root of this mess, I shall hold your family accountable for her actions, Rhys. Starting today, Triumph Consortium will launch a full-scale suppression of the Williamson Group. I wonder, given our resources, how long do you think it will take for the Clark family to ruin the Williamson family?”

Rhys turned deathly pale as fear and panic flashed across his face. He knew Lucas wasn’t bluffing, and that was precisely why he was terrified.

“W-What about the second option?” Rhys asked through the lump in his throat, his voice trembling slightly.

“Ah, yes, the second option…” Lucas wore a slight smile. His eyes suddenly darted toward a spot on the second floor. “Ms. Williamson,” he called out in a calm voice, “the second option involves you, so why don’t you come down and listen to it?”

Minna had been eavesdropping from the corner of the second floor. She quickly descended the stairs and joined Lucas and Rhys in the living room, taking a seat beside her father.

Lucas waited until she sat down before continuing, “The second option…”

Lucas said, “Miss Williamson shall face the consequences of her own actions. Since she was caught with Moshe in such a compromising position, and in front of so many people, too… Why don’t you let her marry Moshe, Rhys?” His tone was calm, as if he were discussing the weather.

Minna and Rhys, on the other hand, were stunned and speechless. They gaped at Lucas, unable to utter a single word for what felt like forever.

Minna was the first to react. She shot up to her feet and glared at Lucas. “Never! I will never marry Moshe! Over my dead body!”

She knew exactly what kind of person Moshe was. She had chosen him for this exact reason; he was the perfect man to ruin Belinda. There was no way she would ever agree to marry Moshe. Absolutely not!

Lucas ignored her protests and turned languidly to Rhys. “The decision is yours to make. What will you choose?”

All the color had drained from Rhys’ face at this point. He lowered his gaze and said nothing.
