CHAPTER 1874 A TRAP
Frostiness gradually appeared in Elektra''s eyes. She cursed at her foolishness.
I can''t evenpare to Aubree. At least Aubree was once in an intimate rtionship with Lucian, being
his fiancée. What about me? I''ve been his childhood friend for so many years and had many chances
to make him mine, but I''ve lost all of them. I want to know what Lucian truly thinks of his feelings for
Roxanne! Is it love? Or is it because she has improved so much in her capabilities? Roxanne was
worthless six years ago, so she got abandoned by Lucian. But now, she owns a research institute,
hospital,pany, and Flora Verba Group. Does that mean Lucian''s love for her was built on her
improvement in bing a sessful person? Does that mean Lucian will look at me in a different
light if I be a powerful woman and take over Flora Verba Group?
Elektra was overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions as different thoughts appeared in her mind.
Lucian took it upon himself to do everything when the wedding preparations began. He chose the
venue, the outfits, and the band and even came up with the list of guests. Moreover, the man even
suggested inviting celebrities to their wedding. After all, many top stars in the entertainment industry
were part of Lucian''s social circle.
Yet, Roxanne gave a firm no. She didn''t want their wedding to be headline-worthy news. If that
happened, information about their three kids would be exposed to the public, causing them to be under
public scrutiny.
With Lucian''s full attention on the uing wedding,pany-rted matters became Jonathan and
Cayden''s responsibility. Jonathan was mainly tasked with the strategy part, while Cayden controlled the
execution of their n. Their current goal was topete with Crawford Heights Group for the Alendor
market.

Alendor was known for its plentiful resources of minerals. It was the raw material base for various non-
ferrous metals. If one could get their hands on this ce, they would enjoy greater power in developing
these areas.
Since theirst failure in the foreign trade market in Epea, Crawford Heights Group ced heavy
investment this time. Their bidding price was higher than Farwell Group''s every time. In an instant,
Crawford Heights Group had the upper hand.
However, Jonathan didn''t panic, for every time he reported these findings to Lucian, thetter would
ask him to wait longer, and Jonathan believed in Lucian''s judgment.
As expected, Crawford Heights Group ran into trouble one weekter. Chaos broke out at the mineral
production area that they bought at a high price, and a war ensued. What was troubling, though, was
that the war ended peacefully within days. The newly-appointed leader overturned the original trade
agreement, iming it was invalid. In other words, Crawford Heights Group''s investment had all gone
to waste.
Over at Crawford Heights Group, Shawn swept the decorations on his table to the floor with his right
hand in the CEO''s office. These items dropped to the floor and shattered into pieces.
What followed soon after was Shawn''s screams. “Trash! Useless! Contact the project leaders now! I
want their exnation. They''ve been living in Alendor for so long, so why didn''t they consider these
possible risks?”
Biting the bullet, Danny said with difficulty, “Mr. Crawford, I''ve contacted them already, but they won''t
pick up the phone, choosing to extend their resignation instead.”
“What?” Shawn clenched his jaw angrily. He connected the dots soon. “Did these people pocket the
company''s money?”
Realization dawned on Shawn. No wonder the asking prices were sky-high. They were double the
amount of those offered by Farwell Group. I fell into the trap because I wanted to get the resources.
Now I know why Lucianpeted with me for a period before suddenly giving up. Did he set me up?
