Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410

Lucinda stood off to the side, quietly watching the scene unfold.

There was no satisfaction on her face. No joy from revenge.

She simply felt this was the best resolution she could offer, out of respect for Wesley and Valencia.

For the sake of the love her parents had shown Dahlia, she wouldn’t go for the kill. She wouldn’t send Data to prisom.

But forgiveness?

That was impossible.

Lucinda had never been a saint. Her boundaries were not to be trampled by anyone.

The next morning, Lucinda went to the Douglas Group as usual.

Under her leadership, the Douglas family’s enterprises had been running like clockwork.

“Ms. Wipere, this is the quarterly financial report. Ridgeway Tech’s net profit increased by forty–five percent compared to

last quarter.”

Fiona handed over the documents, her eyes full of admiration

Lucinda flipped through the report, expression calm. “Not enough. Move the follow–up chip development for the Starship Project onto the schedule.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Under her direction, the Douglas Group’s stock price soared, even threatening to rival the Lancaster Group

That very evening, the Lancaster Group’s official account released a statement.

“The Lancaster Group will enter into a lifetime strategic partnership with the Douglas Group. Both families share mutual interests, honor, and risk.”

The announcement exploded across financial circles and the internet.

A lifetime partnership–what did that mean?

It meant Reginald was using the entire Lancaster Group to back Lucinda.

Frell union instantly tipped in one direction,

[Oh my God! Mr. Lancaster is SO devoted! This isn’t a business deal–this is blatant favoritism!]

[Mutual interests? That’s basically what’s mine is yours, forever‘!]

[Mr. Lancaster really has Lucinda in the palm of his hand. I’m so jealous.]

In the CEO’s office.

Reginald had just finished an international meeting. He rubbed his temples tiredly.

When his assistant showed him the trending news, his expression softened immediately.

He picked up his phone and dialed the number pinned at the top of his contacts.

“Cindy.” His voice was low and a little hoarse once the call connected. “Did you see the news? Everyone’s saying how good

I am to you.”

Lucinda stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, lips curving slightly. “Mr. Lancaster, are you using company resources to

court me?”

“As long as it makes you happy, the entire Lancaster Group can be yours anytime.”

The man’s laughter came through the receiver–steady, yet filled with profound affection.

The night was beautiful.

And her future had only just begun.

A month later, Lucinda’s twenty–first birthday was approaching.

The entire Douglas household went into full preparation mode.

Valencia held the guest list, personally drafting every single name.

From the esteemed Heath of Starlight City, to Royce from the research institute, to the Lancaster family of three.

Every invitation had to pass through her hands. She wouldn’t delegate a single one.

Wesley waved his hand decisively and booked the city’s largest luxury banquet hall.

“My daughter deserves the best.”

Milton canceled all his important academic conferences and took early leave to come home.

Even Francis was glued to his phone, cross–checking merus with the five–star hotel hosting the event, down to the exact

minute each ingredient would be flown in.

Lucinda looked at the mountain of planning documents piled in the living room and felt a headache coming on.

“This is too much.” She leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples.

“Too much?” Valencia immediately shot down her objection. “Cindy, this is your twenty–first birthday. You suffered for twenty years. I’m going to make up for every bit of it. There’s no such thing as too much.”

Lucinda saw the love in Valencia’s eyes. The refusal on her lips died before it could leave her mouth.

The night before her birthday arrived quickly.

After finishing up at both the company and the institute, Lucinda drove back to the Douglas Estate.

The moment her car pulled through the gate, she froze.

The entire mansion was ablaze with light.

The sycamore trees in the courtyard were strung with warm–toned fairy lights, twinkling in the night like a sea of fallen

stars.

She pushed open the heavy door.

The noise and warmth inside hit her all at once.

Valencia was standing on a short ladder, directing the staff. “A little to the left–yes, it’s crooked, it doesn’t look good like

that.”

Wesley, usually stern and imposing, was sitting by the sofa.

His sleeves were rolled up, and he was clumsily blowing up colorful balloons, cheeks puffed out, not a trace of his usual chairman’s authority.

Manuel, wearing gold–rimmed glasses, stared seriously at his laptop. “Add two more layers to the cake. All–natural ingredients. Not too sweet–Cindy doesn’t like overly sweet things.”

Milton was holding an acoustic testing device, repeatedly adjusting the sound system in the living room.

Ang ban was on the phone, shouting at someone. “The seafood has to be flown in fresh this morning! If it’s not fresh,

I’m tearing down your kitchen!”

Everyone was busy.
