The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 886

Chapter 886:

Hank nodded simply. “It all depends on your capacity to manage it.”

Lucilla nodded earnestly several times. “I'm up for it, sir.”

Hank handed her a check for seventy thousand dollars. “Consider this a down payment. Complete the task, and

the remaining six hundred thousand will be yours on the sday.”

Trembling, Lucilla gingerly accepted the check. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, saying, “Thank

you. Thank you so much, sir.”

Hank clarified, “This comes from Mr. Ward, but don’t feel obliged to thank him directly. He's not fond of any

young woman other than Ms. Bennett.”

Lucilla nodded emphatically, acknowledging his words.

After depositing the seventy thousand into her father’s account, Lucilla listened as her father, Grady Kelly,

lavished her with praise.

“Only seventy thousand?” His tone shifted from elation to greed. “If you secured this money so easily, surely you

can acquire more, can’t you? Darling, fetch more for me.”

Lucilla gripped her phone tightly. “There's still six hundred thousand left. If everything works out, | can have it for

you in three months.”

Grady'’s laughter boomed upon hearing the figure. Even though he had squandered more than this with Yvonne

in the past, the mention of six hundred thousand was a sum he hadn't contemplated in years.

Brimming with pride, he boasted, “I knew my parenting wasn’t for nothing!”

“You're right, it wasn’t for nothing, so this six hundred thousand is rightfully yours,” Lucilla replied, her voice

thick with emotion.

Overwhelmed but resolute, she hardened her voice. “Dad, once this six hundred thousand is in your hands, |

want to end our relationship as father and daughter.”

Grady’s smile dropped, replaced by a scowl. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Lucilla, rattled but determined, responded, “I haven't depended on your money since my youth, nor am | in debt

to you. | understand your need for funds now, but if you don’t agree to this separation, | would rather destroy the

money than hand it over to you.”

Her father’s threat was immediate. “I raised you. Do you think six hundred thousand is enough to sever our ties?

As my daughter, you're obligated to support me, even if it costs you everything.”

Unyielding, Lucilla retorted, “Go ahead and testthen. | have nothing left to lose. If you pushtoo far, |

won't hesitate to end things tically right in front of you. Then you'll have to explain to the gangsters why

their money isn’t coming.”

With that, she ended the call.

Now burdened with the responsibility of the six hundred thousand, Lucilla needed to adhere to Caden’s directives

and execute the assigned task. There was no tto be bogged down by familial dependencies.

Elsewhere, Alicia settled into a predictable rhythm, shuttling between her laboratory and home, managing

company affairs remotely. Upon his return to Warrington, Corey assumed leadership of the company.
