After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
"Dad, do you really have no idea why our company's like this?" Yonina said in rage.
"It was you who insisted on investing in mining. I, on the other hand, warned you several times that the mining industry is too unstable and that we shouldn't take such risks. Besides, our company was already one of the largest corporations in Lake City, so what's the point of us taking that enormous risk anyway?" she continued to scold her father.
"Even if you wanted to make some quick money, you could've just invented a couple of million dollars, but that's not what you did. You dumped almost all our money and lost 90 percent of it in less than six months. Do you not realize that I'm the one who's been cleaning up your mess?"
Mr. Collins smacked her face before she could say anything more.
Yonina's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock as this was the first time her father hit her.
