Youâve been out of the company for a while.
I figured that you would be here so I stopped by to see you and have a meal with you,â
Cyrus replied with a smile.
âOkay,â Lucinda said simply.
Cyrus took off her helmet, wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue, and then held her hand as they walked away.
They went to an expensive restaurant where he ordered food for her.
âI heard that Jennifer recently invested in a large shopping mall which enabled the Turner family to recover from the losses Eleanor caused.
â
The verdict was in, and Eleanor was found guilty.
Melody blamed everything on her, and she was ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison.
This time, Nathaniel didnât come to her aid, and the Turner family had cut ties with her.
Eleanor was alone and had no help, forced to accept her new reality.
Although Jenniferâs health was much better, her legs were still numb from the car accident so she had to sit in a wheelchair.
However, she was able to help Mario manage the company.
Lucinda had a positive impression of Jennifer.
She saw her as an ambitious businesswoman.
âThe Turner family is super stoked for this massive shopping mall project.
The grand opening is happening tomorrow, and rumor has it that all the big names in town are going to be there-I mean the elites in the business world.
Mario is hoping that we can attend too.
What do you think?â

Cyrus handed Lucinda a fancy-schmancy invitation with gold trimmings as he spoke.
Lucinda opened the invitation and saw that it was sent in Jenniferâs name.
She figured if all the bigwigs were invited, then the Roberts family would be there too.
âIâm down to go.
â
The opening ceremony was packed with guests.
Even though the Turner family had a major loss due to Eleanorâs actions, these wealthy families all had skeletons in their closets that they didnât want to come out.
In as much as the Turners were still rich, business magnates and high-class ladies would show up.
Lucinda wasnât a fan of these fancy events, but she had to socialize.
Sheâd go as Cyrusâ partner.
Presley greeted Lucinda warmly as soon as she spotted her.
Presley genuinely liked her.
And Lucinda responded respectfully.
