Chapter 166 - Destiny

"What?? Your son?" Steve gazed her in shock. Did I hear it correct?

The lady's beautiful face look distorted, as if she was on the verge of crying!

Steve offered her a glass of water. "Here! Have this and sit for a while."

The lady accepted the glass and chugged it down, instantly feeling better.

"I am sorry! I am a shrewd businessman. I had no idea, he is your son. But...But... I thought...thought...that he...is...is....."

Steve could not complete his scentence. He wanted to phrase the question in a way, which will not further hurt her.

"I thought so too. But that wasn't the case," The lady was trying hard to control her tears. Her sea-green eyes were ready to errupt, buckets of tears. Things have not been easy for her.

Steve was still in a deep shock! He knew the lady would never lie to him and now if you think about it, the resemblance between the two is uncanny. Same green eyes and brown hair, fair transparent skin and a charisma that could capture million of hearts, in just seconds.

Steve immediately picked up his cell-phone and dialled a number. "Mr. Li, we are taking back our legal case filed on Excel Corporations. Please release a press statement that it was all a rumour. Also, please inform the Excel corporation's legal team about this. No buts! Do as I say!"

He hung up the call and looked at the lady in front of him. He had always loved her. All these years had passed and the love never ceased. It remained safe and secure in his heart, like a deep secret.

"Thank you! I will get Lorraine International back on track. I can convince Rhehan, through somebody I know. You both should not fight!" The more she spoke, the more miserable she looked, as if trying hard to suppress her emotions.

"You don't have to thank me. Did you ever talk to Rhehan?" Steve looked in her sad eyes.

"No. It's best if I don't." How much she wished to talk to her son. His dear son, living his life all alone as an orphan!

Steve knew what she meant. So he did not ask anything further.

"The girl involved was Rose. Lillian's daughter, so it's best if things don't get revealed."

"Oh! That's Lillian's daughter? Don't worry nothing will happen to her. But how does Rhehan knows Lillian's daughter ?"

"It's called fate. They both are in a relationship. Can you believe that?" The lady shrugged her shoulders helplessly. Steve was reminded of Rhehan again. He too shrugged his shoulders a lot, if ever facing a difficult situation.

But her words were more of a shock to him. As if, destiny is playing a joke on all of them! The more she wanted Rhehan to stay away, the closer he was being dragged, by the fate!
