Chapter 85
“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 the Smith 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 rumored age of the Supreme One. And he was extremely ugly, just like the rumors about the Supreme One’s looks. 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 to greet us when we’d arrived earlier. But Mr. Simmons mistook Lillian for me.” Lyra approached Lillian with a mocking look. “Did you really think the Supreme One would take an interest in a married woman 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 has obtained the bidding qualification, it’s all thanks to me. So, the president’s seat should belong to me.”
Belinda chimed in, “Lyra is right. Even someone as influentialas Mr. Adamos couldn’t obtain the bidding qualification. Fortunately, the Supreme One has taken an interest in Lyra. Otherwise, given our 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, we must 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 Supreme One has taken an interest in me. It won’t be long before I become the Supreme One’s wife and run Phoenix Corporation alongside him.”
Elijah didn’t find any fault in this. “In that case, Lyra shall be the company’s president. Lillian can be the 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 about you? 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 your future,” Ronan added with a dark expression. “Your dad is right. Go and divorce that jackass right now. 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 interested in someone like that?” Lyra sneered.
Lucas went even further and mocked Lillian bluntly, “What do you take the Supreme One for? Why would 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 the Supreme One, they’re also from rich families. They wouldn’t possibly marry her. Well, maybe they would 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.” Lillian stood her ground.
Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Evelyn was furious. But she couldn’t do anything against Lillian’s insistence.
“Let’s drop the subject for now. But, he must give us a dowry. He has ten million dollars in his hands, 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 demanded Sebastian 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.
