Chapter 18
Randall didn’t even remember Miriam’s name, she felt so humiliated and ran out at once, crying while covering her face.
Dudley, while enraged by Randall’s belittlement of Miriam, ran out to go after her, worrying that something might happen.
Meanwhile, Lincoln stood in situ, trembling with anger.
Smiling, Shannon walked forward and took Randall’s arm, her voice affectedly sweet. “Aww… Hubby, I’m so surprised I’m so perfect in your eyes.
“But someone is too stupid to see the truth. They call me delusional and say I will crawl back to them crying after you dump
- me.
Randall turned to Lincoln, both his gaze and voice chilling. “Tomorrow, I’ll make sure everyone knows whoever picks on you will be on my list. I’ll see who dares to cross you from now on. They’ll all come crawling and begging you”
He shot Lincoln a meaningful look. “These days, the Lanes have been striving to provide basic accessories for Everlasting New Energy Vehicles, the brand under my family’s name, right?
Lincoln’s expression changed drastically as his heart skipped a beat. He murmured, “What do you mean, Mr. Rowe?”
Randall smiled as he looked at Lincoln, his gaze sharp, his voice deep and dangerous, “You’re out.”
Astonishment and hatred instantly overwhelmed Lincoln; his face went ashen, his eyes bloodshot. The Lanes had invested countless money in this project; all their hard work was in vain just like that.
At the same time. Shannon chuckled, “Thanks, hubby.”
Hearing this, Lincoln glared at her, eager to slap her in the face right away. “You goddamn ingrate. How could you do this to your family? You have no shame. I swear-
Randall shoved his hand, threw him away, and threatened, his handsome face icy. Apologize to her. Now.”
Watch your mouth, or I’ll make you pay.
Lincoln was about to snap as he thought, ‘Even though Shannon has cut ties with us, we’re still related by blood. Instead of helping us, she sows discord between us and the Rowes. We lost such a lucrative project because of her!
“Apologize? Not going to happen. I’m her father,” he said firmly.
Though Randall was smiling, his eyes were devoid of any emotion. “Shannon has disowned you. She’s now part of my family. You insult my family and disrespect me You think I’ll let you get away with it without even apologizing?”
With a snort, he continued, “If you don’t apologize, this won’t be the only project you lose.”
Lincoln gritted his teeth hard. Just as he was about to give in, Shannon chimed in, “I don’t think an apology is enough, Mr.
Lane
Lincoln’s face was utterly sullen. “What do you want?” he said, suppressing his fury
She smiled, “We’re all business people here. Tell you what? With 150 million dollars, we’ll call it a day.”
Lincoln was silent for a second. Then he laughed, unable to believe what he had heard. “150 million dollars? You surely are
delusional”
Shannon looked shocked. “You don’t even have 150 million dollars? Even I, the bumpkin from the village, have over 30 billion dollars. 1 have no idea you’re so poor. Or perhaps you think 150 million dollars isn’t enough and want to give me more?”

The veins in Lincoln’s forehead throbbed, and he finally lost it.hut up!”
She shook her finger. Don’t be so mean. Mr. Lane. For each word you curse at me, I’ll demand 30 million dollars more,”
“You damned… Lincoln stopped when he met Randall’s gaze. “How am I supposed to get 150 million dollars in liquidity?”
“Get a loan. Or the company stocks work for me, too,” she said casually.
“Dream on,” Lincoln practically roared. He certainly didn’t want to lose more, so he reluctantly transferred 150 million. dollars to Shannon’s account before he left dejectedly in silence
Randall aside smiled, thinking, I knew it. Shannon isn’t to be trifled with. I thought I had to step up and make things right for her, but I underestimated her. What a great show
