Chapter 266

Felicia couldn’t help but feel tempted.
What Mike had sent was exactly what she needed; it was as if everything was planned for her. Who could refuse that?
“Pathetic.” Stephan took the contracts from her hand and threw them back onto the desk, his tone lazy and indifferent. “I can give you better gifts. Why bother with the Lawson family’s offer?” She was about to say, “Maybe you don’t need them, but I do!”
Mike took out another contract and said, “Here are two mines. As an apology from the Lawson family, we’re also giving them to Ms. Fuller.”
“Not enough,” Stephan said in the same languid tone.
Mike took out another contract. Although he spoke to Felicia, his gaze never left Stephan as if to say, “Here, here, are you satisfied now?” “This is for an oil field, which we also offer to Ms. Fuller.”
Felicia was stunned.
Just a moment ago, she thought the row of shops he had given her was great. Whether she rented or sold them, it was a considerable sum!
However, that row of shops’ value was nothing compared to two mines and an oil field!
Stephan lounged on the leather sofa, his long legs stretched out as he lazily sipped tea. His slender fingers toyed with the smooth teacup, not saying another word.
Relieved, Mike turned to Felicia and spoke earnestly. “My father passed away last night. I’m now in charge of the Lawson family. As for Arnold… I’m sending him abroad to study; he’ll leave right after the new year and won’t appear in front of you again.
“Ms. Fuller, on behalf of the Lawson family, I sincerely apologize for the distress and harm we’ve caused. I’m truly sorry.”
He held down his head, a gesture of his genuine regret.
As far as sincerity went, his attitude to the substantial compensation couldn’t have been more genuine.
And this was, after all, caused by Matthew and Arnold, not by him.
Felicia glanced at Stephan, who looked utterly composed.
She cleared her throat, suppressing the smile that threatened to break free, and replied, “I accept your offer.” Mike chuckled, his gaze casually sweeping over Stephan.
He had no choice but to offer it all.
In one night, the Lawson family understood what wrath could mean.
The two mines and the oil field initially belonged to Mike, but Stephan took them. He could have leveraged their friendship to get them back, but he knew all too well that when Stephan decided to turn cold, there were no exceptions.
Besides, Matthew and Arnold had gone way too far.
Even if he got those assets back, he would still have to offer them as an apology to Felicia.
Only if she forgave them and let it go would Stephan consider letting the Lawson family off on his behalf. “Alright. I’ll take my leave.”
Mike picked up Sandra and encouraged her to wave and say goodbye.
Sandra giggled, blowing a big bubble from her nose, which popped with a soft “plop”-silly yet endearing. After they left, Felicia turned to Stephan and asked, “Where’s Sandra’s mother?”
“No idea.” He gave her a sidelong glance, noticing her thoughtful expression, and added, “Three years ago, Mike had a girlfriend; they were almost engaged, but Mr. Lawson Senior broke them up.”
“And then?” she asked.
“Then, he drowned his sorrows at a е bar, had a one-night stand, and ten months later received a baby girl and a note saying she was his child, leaving him to raise her.”
