Chapter 222 Finding Someone to Replace Sarah
"Antonio! You! Fine... I won't make a scene, but you must dismiss Sarah. She can't stay in this company!" Lucien said.
Antonio furrowed his brow, a strong hint of impatience rising in his eyes.
"That's impossible. She hasn't made any mistakes in her work. Why should I dismiss her?" he replied.
With that, Antonio lost all patience and directly asked James to escort Lucien out.
"If you have nothing else, please leave," he said, displaying a firm attitude and evident hostility.
Lucien snorted coldly in response. "Heh, Antonio, you dare do this, and you'll regret it one day! Don't come begging to me then!"
After Lucien left, Antonio immediately locked the office door and deliberately lowered all the blinds, blocking the probing gazes from outside. He bowed his head with self-reproach, his voice husky. "Sarah, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Sarah also felt uneasy. It would be false to say that she didn't care about Lucien's actions just now. But everyone had a vulnerable side, and at least Antonio had been going all out to defend her...
To her, Antonio was just Antonio, irrelevant to others. She was no longer the person who silently endured her pain and misunderstandings of his alleged infidelity in the past.
Sarah had become braver than before. She approached Antonio and gently embraced him.
"I'm fine, it's not your fault. You don't need to apologize to me. I know you are on my side, and that's enough. I will face everything with you."
Her words were like soft feathers gently caressing Antonio, gradually soothing the heaviness in his heart. He returned the embrace, holding Sarah's slender waist and gently stroking her soft hair.
"Don't worry, from now on, I will protect you no matter what. I won't let you suffer any grievances from him."
...
After the incident with Lucien, Antonio discovered that it was the minority shareholders from the Valencia family's side branches who spread rumors.
Hence, Yannick swiftly and decisively withdrew from the company, while Antonio revoked the shares of minority shareholders from the Valencia family's extended family branches, thereby severing all ties with Valencia Inc.
Upon hearing the news, those shareholders rushed to the Valencia family's old mansion, making a fuss and causing unrest day and night.
Lucien was livid and called the security guards to chase them all away.
Once everyone had left, Lucien's face turned gloomy. He never anticipated that his visit to the company, failing to stop Antonio's actions, would result in being berated by Sarah, that cunning woman.
Without saying a word, he had even forced him to handle the shareholders of the extended family just for the sake of Sarah. He felt that he was no longer able to suppress Antonio.
Lucien angrily slammed the teacup in front of him. This was not the outcome he wanted!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have adopted Antonio. What an ungrateful son!
Indeed, an outsider, even if given the surname of the Valencia family, still couldn't be tamed!
"Master, please calm down. Your health is the most important!"
The butler couldn't help but worry when he saw Lucien not eating well these past few days and also being troubled by the extended family.
"Just look at Antonio! How can I not be angry?!"
The butler also thought that Antonio had gone too far this time.
After careful consideration, Lucien let out a long sigh. The most crucial thing now was how to get rid of Sarah! Antonio wouldn't have turned out like this if it weren't for Sarah's influence!
But Antonio kept protecting her daily, even bringing her with him everywhere, not even leaving her side during work.
"Sir, your words may not get through to Antonio right now, but if someone else could take Sarah's place, then..."
The butler didn't continue, leaving it at that. Lucien's eyes suddenly lit up.
'That's right, Antonio is only under Sarah's spell, which is why he doesn't listen to me. If there were someone who could replace Sarah in his heart, Antonio would naturally not pay attention to her anymore.'
In this way, the huge burden on his heart would finally be lifted!
However...
Who could be this replacement?
Lucien found himself in a dilemma once again. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the tea set adorning the table—a gift from Brandon during his last visit. Recollection of Antonio's previous engagement flooded his mind, and...
Right, Serene!
