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.
Matthew cleared his throat. “What I mean is…”He was stuck.Lucy patted Matthew’s back considerately. “It’s okay. I’ll make sure I become number one in the world.”There were burning flames in her eyes. She was confident that she could do it.After composing himself, Matthew took the chance to brush off the awkward moment earlier and said seriously, “Wifey, if you fail, you have to do me a favor.”Lucy looked at him curiously. “What favor?”To her surprise, Matthew shook his head. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Can I tell you after?”Lucy pouted and stamped her feet. “What the heck?”She did not object to it, however.Matthew’s smile grew wider as he took that as a yes.Having made up their minds, they got to work right way as they were not the type to procrastinate.Soon, Matthew’s investment, the managers, and the artists were in place. The environment at the company began to thrive.Lucy stood at the top floor of the office, feeling somewhat dazed as she watched everyo
At home, Matthew put down his cutlery with satisfaction. As expected of someone with a culinary certificate, Lulu’s cooking was delicious.Lucy was happy to see Matthew enjoy his food. What chef would not be happy to see others appreciating their food?After Matthew was done eating, Lucy started to put away the dishes and cutlery into the dishwasher.However, Matthew quickly stopped her. “Since my wife cooked me such a great meal, I’ll do the dishes.”Lucy paused. She was reminded of how Matthew cooked last time and got a bit worried. “Do you know how to do the dishes?”Matthew fell silent. “Wifey, are you looking down on me?”He shook his head and added, “I know how to put the dishes in the dishwasher.”With that thought in mind, Lucy was relieved. It was not like Matthew was not capable of handling a task as simple as loading the dishwasher…She put down the dishes in her hands and watched him clear the table.Perhaps it was because he was a CEO and had never done these thin
No matter how absurd Melanie’s words were, they went in one of Lucy’s ears and out the other.After talking for a long time, Melanie still had not gotten to the point as she was waiting for Lucy to respond.Lucy refused to speak first, but she did not want to waste any more time either. She had already spotted Matthew leaning against the kitchen doorway, patiently waiting for her.She interrupted Melanie, “Mom, get to the point. Do you want me to beg him?”Melanie said matter-of-factly, “Of course. That’s your brother-in-law’s company. How are you so thoughtless, Lulu? We’re family, so we should get along with each other.“Not only that, but we have to help each other out too. How could you ask Mr. Leon to cut off the investment and blacklist his company?”After beating about the bush for so long, Melanie just wanted to say that it was Lucy’s fault. Lucy felt a surge of anger rising within her. Her mother could not get any more shameless than this. It was a pity that she failed
After hanging up, Lucy was so angry that she got a headache. She sat on the chair while her head was throbbing.Matthew walked over to her worriedly and touched her forehead. “Are you okay?”Lucy shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”Listening to Lucy’s words, Matthew felt even more sorry for her. “I’ll protect you from now on.”Lucy nodded and said hesitantly, “Matt, after this…”Halfway through her sentence, she sighed and lowered her head in resignation. “Forget it, I’d rather not say.”Matthew felt helpless. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t stop halfway, We’ve promised each other that there wouldn't be any secrets between us.”Lucy lowered her head and said sorrowfully, “It’s not a secret. I just want you to strengthen the security around us. My mother might come here, but I really don’t want to see her.”Matthew nodded. “That’s not a problem at all. I’ll tell the security guards to make sure that your idiotic mother doesn’t get in.”Lucy was still f
The more Rohan examined, the more chills ran down his back. How could Lucy’s health get this bad? Did Matthew only just realize it now? He set down his stethoscope with a grave expression and spoke to Matthew. “I’ve completed Mrs. Leon’s health check-up, and I’ve sent the remaining blood samples to the lab to be analyzed. I’ll only be able to draw a conclusion once the results are available.”Matthew’s heart sank when he saw Rohan’s expression. He looked toward Lucy anxiously.Lucy felt a little flustered by his attitude. She took her hand out from under the blanket and grabbed Matthew’s sleeve. “Matt, is there something wrong with my body?”Matthew calmed her down and patted her hand. “Everything is fine. There’s nothing wrong with you. Get some rest. You’ll feel better when you wake up.”His gentle reassurance calmed her racing heart. She let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.Matthew listened to Lucy’s steady breathing and tucked her in. He shot Rohan a look, signaling
