Chapter 31
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. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“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, “If you have something to say to me, just say it. Aren’t we friends? What’s the point of bottling it up?”
Hearing Chelsea’s words, Lucy sighed and told her frankly, “Chelsea, the next time you encounter something like this, don’t get involved.”
Chelsea wanted to interrupt her, but she stopped at the sight of
Lucy’s worried gaze.
“It was two against one, and you were even standing at the entrance. of Lucas Corporation. What if something happened to you and I
couldn’t get to you in time?”
Chelsea fell silent. She was upset, but she had to admit that Lucy was right.
She said feebly, “Do you expect me to just stand by and do nothing while I hear them slander you like that?
“I can’t! You know what my temper is like.”
Lucy sighed. “I do. But Chelsea, I don’t want anything to happen to you. The Lucas family is powerful, and my family is biased toward Luna. If something happens to you, I can’t protect you.”
Chelsea could not refute her words, so she just sat in the back seat
and sulked.
In the driver’s seat, Matthew looked at the woman next to him while his heart ached.
Although he had already looked into her life, those words came so naturally to her that it seemed like it was not the first time she had encountered a situation like this.
He calmed himself down and thought, ‘Don’t worry, my precious. I’ll protect you from now on.‘
Matthew swore to himself that if anyone bullied his wife, he would make them pay for it a hundred times more.
Just as Lucy and Chelsea were looking gloomy, Matthew’s attractive voice sounded.
“You two idiots!”
“What did you su, Don’t think that I’ll go easy on you just because.
you’re Lulu’s husband.”
Matthew shot Chelsea a deadpan look. No one had ever spoken to him like that before, but since she was his wife’s best friend, he
decided to let it go this time.
“If anyone ever badmouths Lulu again, just let me know. I’ll step in to defend her, so you can keep that little mouth of yours to yourself.”
Matthew ignored Chelsea, who was baring her teeth in the back seat, and looked at Lucy affectionately.
Lucy said with concern, “I don’t want to trouble you.”
