Use Her (2)

Deborah asked, feeling a bad premonition, and surely when Lucas heard her, he gave her a snort as he told her.

"She is nothing as compared to Ivy now....do you understand.

Anyway, the engagement agreement was always verbal, wasn't it? We stand to lose nothing if we cancel it.''

He told her but Deborah Wood didn't agree with him in the slightest as she told him.

"But I don't like Ivy at all...she is nothing like a noble and well-mannered lady at all.

Compared to her, Shelia is an excellent choice as a daughter in law, not only is she a famous actress, but she also comes from an excellent house and has a proper upbringing, befitting a lady.''

She told him,

"And how can her awards as an actress benefit our company in any way? None I tell you! None. Anyway, it doesn't matter how you feel about her.

Just go to visit them tomorrow and tell them that the engagement is over.''

He told her before turning back and making his way to the stairs to go to his room when he suddenly turned back and told her.

"Also go and visit the Brown's tomorrow and try to find out if they had any idea about all this.''

"Why?"

Deborah asked him.

"Because now that Ivy is back, she will definitely try to help her family, and if she sees that we are also helping them, then who knows, she might lower her stance towards us and be willing to listen to us or maybe corporate with us.''

He told her before continuing,

"We just have to get Damon back together with her. Just by using her name, we can accomplish so many things that we could not accomplish before.''

"Really? Like what?''

Deborah asked, still not able to fully comprehend just how much power Ivy had accumulated.

"Do you remember the business deal in Greece?''

''Yeah''

She replied,

"The one that has been on hold over a year due to some issues, right?''

"Yes, that one, with just a call from her, or just from the mention of her name all the issues would be resolved.''

"But why do we have to break up Damon and Shelia for this? Can't we just use her name for this? Tell the other party that we know her personally?''

She asked, grasping at straws to protect the engagement of her son and her ideal daughter in law.

"What are you even talking about?''

Lucas exploded as he asked her.

"Do you know what might happen if it is found out that we were using her name in vain? The company might just lose all its credibility. Our other contracts might also be cancelled since the other companies would try to support their support to the Belmont's by blacklisting us.''

He told her as his chest heaved,

"Do not try something too stupid. Ever.''

He told finally her making his way to the stairs when he suddenly said over his shoulder.

"Also look for some toys that young kids might like and buy then for the child...whatever his name was.''

He said before disappearing in the corridor as it turned right towards the rooms.
