With a grin, Lucinda collected the peeled orange from Nathaniel’s hand and savored it with relish.
“Looks like the Green family knows how to grow a tasty orange. It is so good”
Alvina couldn’t hide her ire at the sight of Lucinda eating the expensive orange.
The orange tree was a rare variety airlifted directly from Europe. An orange was worth a thousand dollars.
Nathaniel had even plucked a few from the tree!
Alvina gritted her teeth but tried to remain composed as she spoke, smiling.
“You’re truly remarkable, Lucinda. Despite not receiving any property after your divorce, you’ve managed to take over the Roberts Group in a short time. There aren’t many women I admire in this world, but you’re one of them. You’re always welcome in my home. But why did you have to come along with so many people?”
Lucinda didn’t raise her head. She waited for Nathaniel to hand her another peeled orange.
“Mrs. Green, you’re overthinking things. I didn’t come here to visit you today. I came to settle a score with Tess.”
“Settle a score with Tess?”
Alvina was baffled.
At that moment, Tess walked out. Her eyes brimmed with animosity when she saw Lucinda.
As she approached, she noticed the imposing men looming behind Lucinda. Clad in black suits, they stood tall and straight, with serious expressions etched on their faces.
Terrified, she walked up to Alvina, gazed at Lucinda and said, “You invaded my home with a gang of people in broad daylight. I can sue you for trespassing and harassment.”
Lucinda just shrugged her shoulders.
“Your mother did say she welcomed me to visit your home anytime. So, am I really trespassing?”
Tess and Alvina were both furious but remained silent.

Lucinda’s bodyguards roared in unison, “No!”
Their voices boomed.
This caused Tess and Alvina to flinch and turn pale.
Lucinda, pleased with their reaction, sat up and continued, “Two days ago, I attended a charity event. On my way home, my car exploded and then forty people came rushing out to kill me.”
Tess snorted.
“That’s not my business. You deserved it. Your actions have made many people loathe you. You’re fortunate to still be alive.”
Lucinda gave a blank expression and replied, “Yes, thanks to you, I’m still breathing. But I did get injured, so I’m here to settle the score with you. It’s the least I could do to feel at ease.”
