I’m Divorcing with You Mr Billionaire! (Sydney and Mark)

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Chapter Eighty Seven

Mark’s POV

I resisted the urge to smirk when Sydney chose to merge her shares with mine.

If only she knew.

I smiled as I gauged the sympathy in her eyes, the crease of her eyebrows as she looked between Lucas and me.

I turned to the other shareholders with a straight face and announced my sovereign rein. If they thought they could easily get rid of me then they were wrong, very wrong.

It had all been thanks to a little bit of patience. Lucas wouldn’t have revealed his true intentions to everyone if I hadn’t remained patient, sit back and watching him play us all.

Ever since Lucas came back, I had been keeping an eye on him. I wouldn’t have cared at all about a random man that dropped down the sky and started to claim to be my f**king uncle. but it turned out that the two women in my life adored him.

Grandma Doris, I could manage but Sydney? Nah. It was infuriating how Sydney was all over him that night and then afterward I ceased to exist to her or matter as a person at least. Not that she ever acknowledged me since after our divorce but then I liked to believe that she was trying. to make something of herself and working but since Lucas came into her life, she was always with him.

I almost told my assistant to stop watching them and giving me updates because it only made. me want to punch the guy till I made a gaping hole in his stomach or pretty face. But I was curious, for a while, I forgot about Sydney and just focused on Lucas, my damned uncle. Grandma Doris told me

about him. My family was unkind to him just because Grandpa married. another wife and loved her more. She told me everything, right from when my father took him away – practically exiled a poor baby, that was cruel, even I would admit right to when she started to look for him and finally found him after he had lived his early years as a rich miserable boy. Grandma said and I quote, “He’s such a sweet boy with a pure heart, Mark. It didn’t even take long for the poor boy to forgive me. Get along with him and you’d see how wonderful his personality is.”

Pure heart, my ass!

–

I knew something was not right about him. So I made my private investigator start to trail him. Because I couldn’t believe that a child that had been torn from his mother since birth, poisoned and left alone to live as if he didn’t exist would just forgive the people that made life hard for him like that. I didn’t believe it for one second. No one was that pure.

After a few weeks of tailing him, I heavily contemplated firing the private investigator but he was the best. Those first few,wecks, Lucas was a sweet man. He was either taking his long lost crush on a romantic date or he was helping an old lady safely cross the road or he was making a kid giggle in a supermarket. He was always being the perfect guy in one way or the other, thanks to everyone being moved by such trivial things.

What the f**k! I was infuriated. I didn’t pay a huge sum to get boring info like that so the investigator kept at it and then he found out more.

More of the gentlemanly things that Lucas did was work. The private investigator looked more into his working hours and that was how his meeting with GT Group’s shareholders and some gamblers was revealed.

And then I found out that mum was addicted to gambling that it was almost sucking our fortune dry and that was because she tried to take from my own savings. Later, she confessed that she had sold some of the shares, simultaneously, the private investigator found out that Lucas started it all; he started and fed my mother’s addiction and he were the mysterious buyers of the shares. I would have gone ballistic. Beaten him to a pulp and lock him up till he rot in jail but… something stopped me. It was weird because whenever I was mad, I never hesitate to act on it

but this time,I hesitated then I thought about how he had made all if us a fool, including Sydney who seemed to really like maybe, love even I thought about all if these for days then I came to a conclusion that I would leave him be and not take any action at least, I would not take any action he’d be aware of.

The private investigator, my assistant and my mom had been shocked at my decision but I knew it was the best. If I went ahead to get him arrested, Sydney would only hate me more abdb ever believe that the f**ker she was in love with was a conniving bastard.

Even now, he couldn’t hide his anger as he gazed at Sydney after she announced that she chose me. Did he ever even love her? I found myself wondering. After all I’ve made Sydney go through in our marriage, she didn’t deserve another horrible relationship.

I knew that to root Lucas out, I had to plan painstakingly and be patient and that was exactly what I did. I strictly followed my plan and waited for him to completely let down his guard and tear off his disguise before Sydney when he thought he had succeeded. I wanted Sydney to see him in his true colors.

So, after Lucas planned everything. I don’t know how he got Grandma to tell me to marry Sandra but Grandma suggested it and I agreed to the engagement with Sandra.

As the days went on, my private investigator found out more information. Apparently, Lucas had planned to instigate a car accident on my engagement day – an accident that will surely take my life and completely get me out of the picture. His plan, we discovered, was to seize the opportunity of my death that he would make happen and replace my place as Sandra’s fiance and then he’d seize control of GT Group.

I was shocked, to be honest. I wondered why he was with Sydney, tagging her along when he means to marry someone else. Though, I didn’t hear that he’s married to Sandra yet but it was satisfying that the b**ch was out of my life.

Really, my plan was a stone that I’ve used to kill lots of birds.

I also worked in helping mum get rid of her addiction to gambling. Later, it became a game exposing Lucas but a part of me still thinks that mum might still be addicted to the act.

of

That aside. Mum had been furious when I told her I would get in the car and get involved in the accident he had planned. We had argued about it for days until she reluctantly agreed to see reason with me. We needed to make everything look like it was working his way so I had to get

in the car.

When the car came running into us, I tightly grabbed the seat belt as I protected my head, minimizing my injuries. My assistant and driver took care of themselves too. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The swift arrival of the ambulance and police, thanks to Sydney, had made it impossible for Lucas‘ men to come to the accident scene to ensure that I was dead and if I wasn’t, they’d do the job.

So when I woke up at the hospital, I hatched my final plan and pretended to have lost my

memory

With mum’s help‘, I announced to the outside world that I had lost my memory and the information spread everywhere, making everyone think that he had lost his ability to control GT Group. All a plot to give Lucas what he wants and just as expected, at that point, Lucas completely let down his guard.

What made this amnesia bit if the plan more thrilling and heart warming was Sydney’s concern. for me. She tried to hide it but it was always there that she was concerned about him. Each time we’re alone together, I feel extremely joyful. Sometimes, I feel so happy to the extent that I usually contemplated telling her the truth but I was just happy, I didn’t lose

my brains.

Playing the amnesia drama with her sometimes made me want to burst out laughing and pointing at her face but I always ensure to hold back my laughter and keep up my act.

It was not expected that she would choose to support me now. It had been a risk though. For all I knew, Sydney might have refused to merge her shares with me but thankfully, she did.

“Alright, everyone please leave, I have family matters to deal with,” I said after the host was done. spluttering some gibberish.

Chapter 87 Chapter Eighty Seven..

As soon as my words fell, the shareholders, regretting that they had chosen the wrong side, scrambled out of the room with their heads hung down in shame. Mark watched as Sydney confidently filed out that I almost missed Lucas glaring at the b*dyguard who had stepped forward and stopped him from leaving the room.

“Uncle, we haven’t finished our family affairs, you can’t leave yet, I said. As he took a step back and turned to face me,the b*dy guards locked the double doors.

“What are you proud of, huh?” He scowled at me. “Even if you win this time, don’t forget that I still have ten percent of the shares in my possession, I still have the chance to make a comeback, we’ll fight slowly. He held my gaze, Winning doesn’t have to be now but some day.”

Some day, I scoffed and thought ridiculously in my head. Just like how today had been someday in his plan.

you believe me if I told you that I can dilute your shares clean in an hour?”

You’re talking about the 10% of your hand?” I scoffed and raised my eyebrows,”

He said nothing, the rage in his eyes just grew further as he narrowed his eyes at me.

“Didn’t you look carefully at those mysterious clauses hidden between the lines before signing the contract?‘ I shook my head, “No? Oh. I see. Well, you should have.”

My uncle gave me a long hard look before speaking calmly, “You are clever, but I have plenty of ways to deal with you.”

I tipped my head back and groaned out a noise, dragging my palm down my face in frustration. I was being dramatic but it was impossible not to be exasperated about Lucas‘ constant calmness. That was one thing I hated so much about Lucas; he always managed to remain calm, no matter the situation.

I sneered at him. I got down from the podium, walked up to him and started to circle him, “Oh uncle. I admire how confidently you always believe in yourself.”

I stopped before him and held Iris gaze. “But I’d advise you not to try anything else. This is my territory,” I enunciated every word so that it could get stuck in his sick head. “So you better roll back to Italy where you came from before I kill you! That’s where you should be!”

As expected, he only gave off the shift in his aloofness by giving an angry look then he turned around and stormed out.
