Lucy and Matthew finished their breakfast quietly. After the waiters took away their plates, Matthew took Lucy's hand.“Let’s go. I’ll take you to have some fun.”To his surprise, Lucy took a step back and shook her head. “No thank you. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do.”Matthew was a little confused. “What is it? I thought you were free.”He recalled Lucy’s schedule and remembered that she did not have anything planned for the day.Lucy was free, but she was reminded of what happened previously. She lowered her emotionless gaze.“A lot of things have been going on at my company. I’ve already taken a few days off. I can’t ignore matters there any longer.”Matthew understood now. “Your comic company?”Lucy nodded.“Okay, I’ll send you there.”He did not want to get in the way of his wife’s important business. Besides, they could have a vacation anytime they wanted.Matthew changed his mind on the spot and turned to take her to the underground parking lot.Lu
Matthew felt wrongly accused and said innocently, “How am I a head-turner?”Lucy rolled her eyes. “You're asking me that? Every time we go out, all eyes are on you.“So many beautiful women look at you, and some of the bolder ones would even come up to ask for your number,” The more she spoke, the more sour her face got.Matthew laughed and patted her head. “Were the women who asked for my number pretty? I think my wife is prettier.”“You’re just saying that to please me!” Lucy turned away to avoid looking at him.Feeling helpless, Matthew smiled without a word.Silly woman! How naive of her. It was not just women who went up to him for his number…Those horny men all lost their balance when they caught sight of Lucy. Several had wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation, but Matthew blocked them all. She just had no idea about it.If possible, there was no need for his wife to ever find out.All she needed was him.Unaware of his thoughts, Lucy walked off angrily s
After seeing how speechless Luna was, Lucy felt a little better.She composed herself and said indifferently, “Tell me. What brings you here?”Only then was Luna reminded of why she came here. “It’s no big deal, Lulu. I’m just worried about you. When are you coming home?”While saying that, she looked at Lucy with her teary eyes. “Lulu, even if you got into an argument with Mom, you can’t just run away from home. Everyone is so worried about you.”Lucy scoffed. “Worried about me? What’s there to be worried about?“If by worried, you mean my family hid the fact that my sister and my ex were together for four years because they were worried that I’d be upset, then I suggest you take back your concern. I don’t need it.”Luna choked up again. How could Lucy say such things so openly in public? Did she have no sense of shame?“Lulu, how could you say that in public?”“Why not?” Lucy looked at her with confusion even though she knew full well that Luna was ashamed of Timothy having a
Lucy frowned and turned toward the source of the sound.Hah! It was Timothy.Timothy walked over furiously and pulled Luna behind him. Glaring at Lucy, he pointed a finger at her nose.“Lucy, what are you doing?“Were you going to hit Nana? I didn't think you were that kind of woman. I used to think you were a decent person, but you…”“I what?”Lucy interrupted him with a baffled expression. “I didn’t do anything to Luna. Did you see me hit her?"Timothy was so angry that he could not even process her words. In his eyes, Lucy interrupted him because she was guilty.“I saw it with both my eyes! How could you do this, Lucy? Nana is still your sister!”“Mr. Timothy!” A sophisticated male voice interjected.They saw Matthew walking over leisurely, his demeanor calm and composed.Lucy’s agitated heart calmed down a little while Timothy felt flustered upon seeing Matthew. His tyrannical force faltered significantly.“What are your intentions?” he stuttered a little.“Nothing.” M
Luna glanced at the poker-faced Lucy and Matthew triumphantly, relieved that Timothy had spoken up for her.Then, she turned her attention to Timothy and affectionately looked at him. “Tim, who are you taking me to meet?”Timothy patted Luna’s head lovingly. “I’m taking you out with me for business. When you get home, change into the dress I bought you. We’re meeting someone very important to discuss the investment issue—the CEO of Leon Corporation.”Luna covered her mouth in shock. “Leon Corporation? That's the richest and most influential multinational conglomerate!”Timothy nodded. “Let’s go.”“Wait a minute. There’s no need for you to go.” Matthew nonchalantly stopped Luna and Timothy.Timothy turned his head with annoyance. “What is it now, pretty boy?”Matthew calmly said to Timothy, “You don’t have to go there. Leon Corporation will never invest in Lucas Corporation.“Not to mention, from today onward, Lucas Corporation will be blacklisted by Leon Corporation.”Timothy
Lucy was glad to see the looks on Timothy's and Luna’s faces. She beckoned to the lady at the front desk and said, “Kelly, go call security and chase these two people out of here.”Noticing that Lucy was in a good mood, Kelly Anniston quickly ran out to call the security guard in.Seeing the CEO of Lucas Corporation and the second daughter of the Quinn family in front of him, the security guard felt a little uneasy. However, he had no choice but to comply with his boss’ instructions.He politely walked toward Timothy and Luna and said, “Mr. Timothy and Ms. Luna, this way, please.”Luna’s beautiful face twisted into an ugly expression as she yelled at Lucy, “How dare you drive me out of here?”Lucy looked at her indifferently and ordered the security guard, “Hurry up.”Luna gritted her teeth in front of the intimidating security guard.She tugged at Timothy, who was still in a daze. “Tim, let’s go.”Timothy had yet to recover from his shock, so he blankly let Luna drag him out o
Lucy watched in astonishment as Matthew took his phone out to dial a number.“Hello, Levi? Send some managers over here. There’s a company that I need them to manage.“Where? Lulu Comics.“Yes, that’s right. It’s Mrs. Leon’s company.”Lucy waited silently for Matthew to finish his call. When he finally hung up, she was going to say something when Matthew immediately made another call.“Ms. Clark, I remember we recruited some arts and design students from Harvard. Assign them to Lulu Comics and tell them that I said so.”After issuing a series of commands, things started to fall into place.When Matthew was done with the calls, he looked at Lucy, who was doubtful and hesitant to speak. “Lulu, what’s wrong?”Lucy shook her head without saying a thing.Matthew sighed. “My dear wife, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re husband and wife. There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”Lucy lowered her head in shame, and her lips moved slightly. “Matt, thank you for recrui
Sensing Lucy’s dilemma, Matthew paused for a bit and continued, “I know that establishing a company on a global scale is really hard, so the ten million is just the venture capital.“If you come up with a business plan that I’m satisfied with, I don’t mind investing more.”The frown on Lucy’s face relaxed, and she smiled. If what Matthew said was true, it would be doable.Although they were husband and wife, Matthew’s sudden gesture made her feel like he was being too nice to her.Lucy glanced at Matthew suspiciously. “Matt, do you often invest in companies like this? You’re so generous with your investments that I can’t help but feel like you have ulterior motives.”Matthew smiled. “How could I have bad intentions? You’re my wife, and I trust my wife’s business acumen.”Lucy sighed. He was just saying that to please her. If she had Matthew’s mind, would the company even be in this state?Matthew patted Lucy’s head and said, “Have more confidence in yourself. Let’s make a deal.
