Timothy looked at Lucy standing there and ridiculed, “You sure are well-informed, seeing as you arrived so quickly.”“Was I supposed to just stand by while I watched you and Luna bully Chelsea?”She was usually a soft-spoken lady, but at that moment, she was surprisingly relentless.“How could you say that, Lucy? I was just telling the truth. I didn’t bully Chelsea!”After hearing that, Luna broke away from Timothy’s arms. Displaying her round, innocent-looking eyes, she intentionally stood in front of the camera.“I was just asking Chelsea to persuade you to come home. Mom told me that you fought with her yesterday. She’s worried about you.”“Stop with that act of yours. Everything you said just now was full of lies. Do you think people are foolish enough to believe you?”Chelsea’s full attention was on Lucy after she arrived, but when Luna spoke, she immediately turned to shoot her a glare.Pitiful tears welled up in Luna’s eyes as she said, “I didn’t lie. I’m very close to m
Like sharks smelling blood, the reporters instantly stretched their microphones forward.Looking at the eager reporters, Matthew frowned and pulled Lucy behind him.Only then did the reporters notice the man in front of them. They were all stunned. Was this the freeloader that Timothy had just talked about? Was he joking or was he blind? The man in front of them looked like someone who had been accustomed to bossing people around for ages.How could someone like him be a freeloader?Did Timothy say those words because he felt threatened by this man? After the reporters came to their senses, they stepped forward again…However, Matthew noticed their movements and shot them a warning look.The reporters were so frightened that they immediately regretted doing so. They could already tell that this man was not just an ordinary person, and he seemed to be on a whole other level compared to Timothy. Why did they even try to get closer?After making sure that the reporters did not tr
None of the reporters present were looking at Timothy.Even a fool could tell that Matthew was someone of high status. They dared not get into trouble with someone like him.Only an idiot like Timothy would call this imposing man someone’s love affair.They had already gotten their hands on a piece of breaking news, so it was better for them to stay low and not offend anyone.The reporters had it all figured out.Matthew, the supposed lover boy, smiled nonchalantly. “You’re not wrong.”Lucy and Chelsea looked at Matthew in disbelief.Was he out of his mind? After spending a few days with him, Lucy was certain that Matthew was not short of money at all. It was likely that he owned a business.What was he thinking, admitting that he was her lover?On the other hand, Chelsea was having different thoughts.Holy fuck! That man really was a freeloader! He was really putting his looks to good use…If he was using Lulu’s money and planned to live off her, he should at least be nice
Timothy looked at the car speeding off with a sullen face. It seemed like Lucy had found herself a powerful man. The man’s threat earlier gave Timothy a bad feeling.Luna had a bad feeling too, so she said to Timothy worriedly, “Tim, what did he mean by that? Is everything going to be okay?”The sight of Luna’s pretty face calmed his anger. He smiled at her and said, “It’s going to be okay. I’ll take care of anything that comes our way.”After hearing his words, Luna felt a wave of relief wash over her.In the luxury car, Chelsea was sitting in the back seat, staring blankly at the interior for a long time.In the front passenger seat, Lucy looked at her best friend worriedly. Why had she not said anything? Was she still mad at what Timothy and Luna had said to her?Lucy called out to her, “Chelsea.”Chelsea finally came to her senses. She looked at Lucy in shock and blurted, “Lulu, is this your car?”“Pfft.”While driving, Matthew laughed at what she said. Then, he cleared hi
Chelsea’s words made Lucy blush, and she felt a warmth surge through her. No one was as genuine to her as her best friend.Then, Lucy froze.Chelsea should learn to control herself. Could she not sense Matthew looking at her?Especially when Chelsea mentioned that there were plenty of other fish in the sea, Matthew looked like he was going to stab Chelsea.She was afraid that her newlywed husband would stop the car and beat up her best friend.Chelsea should have waited to tell her these things when he was not around. Lucy wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry.It was unfortunate that Chelsea could not read Lucy's thoughts. Then, Matthew voiced out, “Ms. King, there may be plenty of fish in the sea, but I doubt any of them are better than me.”Chelsea choked when she realized that Matthew had heard everything she just said.Suddenly, the air was tense.Chelsea was so embarrassed she could crawl into a hole.Wait a minute. She was giving her best friend advice. Who was he to
”Can you take good care of Lulu?”Chelsea started things up again after they had just calmed down. What was Chelsea trying to do? Lucy was in despair as she did not want to get back out onto the battlefield.Matthew said calmly with a hint of determination in his voice, “Of course, I’ll take good care of her. There’s no doubt about it.”Chelsea was slightly less worried now, but she was still unconvinced.“How are you going to promise me that? Timothy said the same thing, but look at him now!”Chelsea got worked up when she mentioned Timothy, but she managed to restrain herself.“I’m sorry about that, but please answer my question.”Matthew continued to drive and answered without glancing back at Chelsea, “Seriously, why do all of you like comparing me to an asshole? I’m not like him. Although you can’t use my words as proof…”“So, you're aware as well that it’s all just empty words," Chelsea interrupted him.“Chelsea!”Lucy was getting a little angry, but she knew that Che
Chelsea rolled her eyes at her.“That’s something you should ask yourself.”Lucy was confused as to what she meant by that, but Chelsea’s next words cleared up her confusion.“I was looking for you, but I heard that you got into an argument with your mother yesterday and ran away from home.“I was so worried that I searched for you everywhere. I went to all the places you usually went to, but I still couldn’t find you. In the end, I went to the entrance of Lucas Corporation to try my luck.”Chelsea started to raise her voice as she recounted the upsetting memory.“Who would've thought that as soon as I got there, I heard Timothy’s shameless words? I was so pissed.”Lucy’s eyes twitched. “So, you started arguing with them?”Chelsea nodded.Lucy wanted to say something to her, but she decided against it. She opened her mouth, but no words came out of it. Her face turned red from frustration.As Lucy’s best friend, Chelsea could instantly read her expression, so she said angrily
Matthew was taken aback when he heard that. Did Lucy know the kind of favor she was turning down? A promise from Leon Corporation’s CEO was something that people would go to great lengths for and still not be able to obtain.Yet, the woman in front of him was going to reject just that.However, she was not just anyone; she was his wife.Matthew raised his eyebrows, and an evil smile appeared on his face. “Others may be able to turn me down, but you can’t. You’re my wife, so it’s only right that I take care of you.”Chelsea slowly covered her eyes and said, “Alright, alright! You’re doing it again! Stop making me feel like the third wheel.“Whatever. I don’t expect you to be considerate of the feelings of us single folks anyway.” She removed her hand from her eyes, revealing a blank expression.She had accepted the reality of things. It was just that Chelsea could not stand seeing her Lulu being all mushy to this bastard.She shouted, “If you two want to be all lovey-dovey, you c
