Chapter 74
Julie was stunned. Melanie watched with interest, while Austin frowned deeply.
Samuel nodded. We make it happen, and then we pressure him to marry you. Once it’s done, you can set your terms for marriage Kylie, I’ve seen all you’ve done for the family. I promise you won’t be mistreated. If it works out, I’ll give you thousand dollars.”
Kyle looked at Samuel with pure sarcasm. You just said the Lampard family wouldn’t tolerate affairs, yet here you are, contradicting yourself”
This is different. We’ll do everything we can to make Zach marry you,” Samuel insisted, clearly uncomfortable.
“You’re not some virgin, you dated Craig for seven or eight years Who are you fooling?” Chris snapped, losing his patience. Melanie’s eyes flickered as she recalled Craig mentioning he’d never actually been with Kylie because she always wanted to wait for marriage.
“Chris, shut up” Julie quickly reprimanded him. She thought. What kind of brother talks that way? Even though Kylie is rebellious and refuses to follow our plans, it is just a misunderstanding on her part. Zach really is a good match‘
Kylie. Zachris someone you could rely on for life. We’re thinking about what’s best for you,” Julie said gently
Kylie looked at Julie, whose smile felt like poison to her, and replied, “If I were you, I’d go bold and send me to seduce. Trevor Might even be easier”
Samuel frowned. “Don’t get greedy. Trevor’s out of your league. He didn’t even look twice at Mel; why would he notice you?” If he thought he could succeed with any tactics on Trevor’s end, he would have already tried sending Mel Trevor’s way.
“Are you getting close to Zach because of Trevor? I suggest you drop that idea. You’re not on Trevor’s level. If you do something reckless and he finds out, you’ll drag the Lampard family down with you,” Claude said, looking alarmed.
“Enough Let’s leave it at that Kylie, why don’t you move back home today?” After finishing his sentence, Samuel decided to head to the company. It was in complete chaos.
Claude nodded. “Dad, Ill drive you”
As they started to leave the room, Kylie remarked with a smirk, “What does any of this have to do with me?”
She couldn’t wait for the Lampard family to crumble. She’d been busy with many things since her return and hadn’t had
time to settle scores with them.
She planned to agree to the divorce with Trevor as soon as she returned, ending the agreement early. She didn’t want any money, she just wanted Trevor to bring down the Lampard family. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be justice for all their scheming against her
“What?” Samuel thought he misheard her.
“Don’t be difficult! Aren’t you happy with the 150 thousand dollars? I can offer another 150 thousand dollars.” Claude thought Kylie was being too greedy
Melanie rolled her eyes, thinking. Kylie, 300 thousand dollars is a lot Austin noticed Melanie’s expression–one he’d rarely seen as she showed a harsher side.
“Give me 30 million dollars, and I might consider dealing with Trevor and make him agree to work with the Lampard family” Kylie proposed, giving them an option. Unlike them, she at least offered them a choice.
You re crazy Melanie shot up, furious. She thought, Asking for 30 million dollars would bankrupt the Lampard family!

Chapter 74
Samuel’s face turned ashen. Do you know what saying?”
30 million dollars? How dare you! Even if we gave it to you, do you think Trevor would even glance your way? Chris fuming, thinking. How can I have such an unreal sister? Choosing dreams over practical paths
“How will we know if we don’t try? Transfer me 30 million dollars and maybe by this time tomorrow, I’ll show you a marriage certificate,” Kylie said with a smile.
“Stop joking. If people hear this, they’ll think the Lampard girls are out of touch with reality. If 300 thousand dollars isn’t enough, I’ll offer 600 thousand dollars, but that’s it. Don’t push it Claude said, trying to stay calm.
He thought. If the Lampard family isn’t facing an unprecedented crisis, I won’t give Kylie a dime, let alone 600 thousand dollars. She’s caused more trouble than help, and now she’s making outrageous demands. She knows Zach but can’t let him become fond of her. Now, she is bolilly claiming that she is going to marry Trevor Shameless!
“Kylie, Trevor isn’t Craig. You can’t just claim he likes you, it doesn’t work that way Melanie sneered openly, thinking, Kylie hasn’t had an easy time lately, has she? Otherwise, why would she be daydreaming like this? If dreams work, I’d already be
“Liking someone and marrying them are different things. He doesn’t have to like me to marry me,” Kylie stated plainly.
Everyone in the room listened in disbelief.
Julie, feeling guilty before, now looked at Kylie with frustration. “Don’t kid yourself; the Lampard family can’t reach Trevor’s
level
Even if we can give you 30 million dollars, Trevor still wouldn’t want you,” Claude said coldly.
“How do you know without trying? 30 million dollars; no negotiations, Kylie replied flatly.
“No way!” Chris shouted angrily.
Samuel said. “Stay home and calm down.”
Claude added. “Chris, you stay here and keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn’t leave until she thinks things through.”
“Dad, Claude, you both head to the company. I’ll talk to Kylie, Melanie offered.
Julie put on a stern face. “Why don’t you stay and help me out? My neck’s been bothering me, and your massages helped before. Do it for me.” Deep down, she still saw good in Kylie; she’d been nice to her before.
Just then, Austin asked Kylie, his eyes slightly red. “Do you hate us? Is that why you won’t help!”
Kylie chuckled, “Took you this long to notice?” She thought, “What have you done that wouldn’t make me hate you?
Austin was taken aback. Julie was shocked. She and Claude furrowed their brows
Chris scoffed, “If anyone should be hating, it’s us hating you. You’ve shamed the Lampard family’s name. Now we’re giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Don’t you want it?”
“A 30–million–dollar chance to stabilize the Lampard Group–are you sure you don’t want it?” Kylie asked coolly
“Forget it!” Chris snapped.
Kylie’s dark eyes gleamed with amusement as she said slowly, “I can’t wait to see you regret this.” She turned and walked
away.
Just a few steps out, Samuel shouted angrily, “Stop her! She’s going nowhere until she really thinks things through”
