24. Openly Declaring The AG Group As An Enemy
At the hospital, Lucas showed his deep displeasure when Grandpa Winston gave her the necklace.
Wasn’t it normal that he’d send men to snatch it from her?
“Neither am I a kid nor someone you can scare easily. I’m not a toy you can toss around as you please. If you wanted the necklace that much, why didn’t you go to Grandpa Winston instead of sending men to harass me?”
Staring at her extended hands, back to her eyes flashing with fury, Lucas was amazed by the woman standing in front of him.
Underneath that fury was a deep seed of hurt and hatred. His heart stirred strangely, then he retained his dark expression.
“Listen to yourself, Heidi. Accusing me of stealing something from you, does that even make sense?”
“I know, you are the President of GK Group,” Heidi said mockingly. “You can’t differentiate snatching from stealing. That jewelry is mine, won’t you give it back?”
“Don’t you dare accuse me of immorality.”
“Is sending men after a defenseless woman considered a moral act? Why don’t you admit that everything that happened at NightBay Street last night was all your fault?”
Heidi’s anger was unquenchable, making the onlookers wonder what was truly going on.
Even Zach was surprised for he’d never seen Heidi so mad like this. “Dude, you’ve gone too far. Whatever you stole from Heidi, you better bring it now. Don’t think you can bully her anyhow.”
Luca’s fists clenched and clenched until his knuckles cracked.
Heidi returned his glare with the same intensity, none willing to back down.
“Eat back your words,” he enunciated each word. “I didn’t steal anything from you.”
“Then prove it, Mr. Harrison.”
“Heidi, that’s enough!” Tracy stepped in. “You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Lucas has a vast array of wealth and assets, isn’t it ridiculous that you accuse him of stealing from you? Mr. Olsen, you invited us here to celebrate with you. Are you just going to let Heidi humiliate us?”
“Cut the crap!”
Tracy’s face turned from red to green, battling humiliation.
She gave Heidi a secret glare, acting pitiful and clinging to Lucas.
“Zach Olsen, from today henceforth, every single tie between us will be severed. No more room for collaboration or any peaceful pact between the GK Group and AG Group ever.”
Lucas’s words pointed at one thing. Openly declaring the AG Group as an enemy.
“Ha! You just took the words out of my mouth! Who’s interested in some crappy business with you?” Zach didn’t mind even though his employees were trembling in a corner.
Even the paparazzi almost dropped their cameras. And everyone wondered the same thing, Who was Heidi?
As the crowd murmured, Tracy’s hatred for Heidi increased.
Because even though the situation was this intense, one couldn’t help but feel envy that the two most powerful men were fighting over her.
Tracy’s heart burned with so much fury that her fists trembled.
Lucas took her trembling as a sign that she was afraid. He spoke to her gently, ” Let’s get out of here.”
“Lucas, wait.” Her watery voice echoed in the place. “This isn’t right. You can’t cut ties with AG Group.”
She looked at Zach. “Mr. Olsen, are you really going to let someone come between you guys? At this critical moment, everyone knows AG Group needs an ally like GK Group the most. Please don’t be impulsive.”
“I think she’s right.” Zach’s assistant approached, almost begging with his eyes. “Please Mr. Olsen, I know you cherish your women, but let’s not make an enemy out of GK Group.”
“Back off! Chicken!” Zach chased him away. “No one dares to bully Heidi and go freely.”
“Won’t you say anything, Heidi?” Tracy said worriedly. “Because of you, a huge war will soon break out. Will you keep inciting Mr. Olsen to go against Lucas?”
“Ms. Ambassador of Peace. Why should I snatch your job?”
Heidi’s fierce comeback had Tracy looking breathless. She gritted her teeth and moved forward, grabbing Heidi’s hand before she knew it.
“You can call me whatever you want, but what you’re doing is wrong. Will you just stand and watch? You know AG Group can’t do without GK Group.”
“Says who?” Heidi raised a brow. “Let go of me, Tracy, I’ve had enough of your hypocrisy.”
Painting herself as the saint. Tracy was really good at it.
She didn’t let go of Heidi’s hand and kept on pulling, saying, “No matter what happened between you and Lucas, you can’t involve third parties. Clearly, you’re using Mr. Olsen to fight your battles.”
“I told you to let go! Don’t you understand simple words?”
Tracy eyed the nearby swimming pool.
Her lips curled slightly, revealing a smug smile.
As Heidi pushed away, she intentionally lost her footing.
