Chapter 144
Arthur wanted to explain, but he was angry that Lucy didn't believe him, so he didn't explain. Instead, his body was emitting cold air.
Due to the strange atmosphere at the table, the other guests were all far away.
"Arthur!!!" Chad cried sadly. He ran over and gave Arthur a big hug. "I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much. Do you miss your Chad? If you say you don't want to, I'll cry for you now!"
Not long after he escaped, he was taken back. He had been locked up until now, and he was so depressed that he almost had a mushroom on his head!
"Get lost!" Arthur pushed his claws away in disgust. His already gloomy face was covered with dark clouds.
"Wow, Arthur, you're wearing a purple suit today? !! Sister-in-law and my nephew are also wearing purple clothes. You're wearing parent-child clothes!" Chad was used to being scolded. It didn't matter. He looked at the clothes of Arthur's family and opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.
F*ck, f*ck. I haven't seen him for a long time. Why did Arthur become so coquettish?
No one paid attention to him.
Arthur's eyes were locked on Lucy. She looked out of the window lazily, while the little fellow was playing with her phone.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Chad smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, the purple parent-child
suit is very good. It's expensive, and it's not easy to wear. This suit is really good!"
He had wanted to flatter her, but ended up flattering her—
"Not easy to wear? Look over there!" Lucy's face was full of cold laughter. He raised his chin and pointed in Elyse's direction. If this wasn't Kylah's engagement ceremony, she would have left long ago. Why did she have to suffer such humiliation?!
Chad turned around and saw a woman in a purple evening dress.
Wasn't Elyse dead?
Why was he still standing there, wearing a purple evening dress that was exactly the same as his sister-in-law's? NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
When the guests saw this scene, they began to talk about it—
"Who is this person? Why does he look exactly like Mrs. Johnson?"
"I heard that Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Johnson were in love for the first time, so Mr. Johnson married her! This woman should be Mr. Johnson's first love, right?"
"Why do I remember someone saying that Mr. Johnson's first love is dead? Is he alive again?"
"Mr. Johnson likes his first love so much. Now that his first love is back, it's time for Lucy to give up his position! It's not easy for him to become Mrs. Johnson, but now he has to give up his position. Lucy is
really pitiful!"
"There's nothing to be pitiful about. If it weren't for the fact that Lucy and Mr. Johnson are just like each other, Mr. Johnson wouldn't have married her!"
Their voices weren't low. Lucy could clearly hear them and felt extremely embarrassed.
Everyone knew that she was just a substitute! Only she used to be stupid enough to think that Arthur really liked her!
"Mommy, don't listen to their nonsense." Seeing that she didn't look well, the little fellow stood on the chair and covered her ears.
Lucy removed the little fellow's hand and pulled out a stiff smile. "They are all telling the truth. It's nothing."
She had heard such words many times, but every time she heard them, she still felt uncomfortable.
Who in this world wanted to be a substitute?!
"Have you had enough discussion?" Arthur stood up, and his angry eyes swept over the crowd little by little.
The crowd's scalps were numb and their legs were weak. They scattered in twos and threes, not daring to say another word. It was naturally good to have fun to watch, but it was not worth it to watch the fun and offend people!
Seeing this, Lucy's eyes were full of sarcasm. So what if he didn't let others talk about it? This was the truth!
"Ms. Morgan." Ruby braced herself to walk up to Lucy under Arthur's cold gaze.
Lucy looked up at her. "What's the matter, Miss Maynard?"
She had heard Elyse's name for a long time, but this was the first time she had met Elyse face to face.
As expected, it was the same as what Arthur had said five years ago. Elyse's tenderness was completely different from hers!
"I want to explain for Arthur that he didn't buy this evening dress for me. It's just a high-end imitation. It can't be compared with your evening dress." Ruby explained very sincerely.
These words were taught to her by Mr. Wallace. He said that she would use them.
"Ha!" Lucy let out a hollow laugh, and the corners of his eyes curled into a mocking arc. "That Miss Maynard is pretty good. She bought a high-quality imitation with real diamonds."
Arthur?
He called her so intimately!
"Ah? Is this a real diamond? I don't know!" When Ruby said this, her eyes fell on Arthur for help, and she seemed to be at a loss.
Chad couldn't stand it any longer. "Arthur, you've gone too far! If you want to be with Elyse, then there's no need to give her a dress like my sister-in-law's. Aren't you... letting others laugh at my sister-in-law?"
"You misunderstood Arthur. This evening gown was not given to me by Arthur. It's just a high-end imitation I bought..." Ruby explained in a weak voice. She looked around with a guilty look.
Lucy didn't want to be a clown anymore. She looked at the high heels on Elyse's feet and pulled the little fellow away.
Whether it was Elyse's evening dress or high heels, they were all authentic goods!
"Sister-in-law, wait for me. I'll take you to Kylah!" Chad looked at the expressionless Arthur with a complicated expression in his eyes before turning around to chase after Lucy.
In an instant, only Arthur and Ruby were left by the table. The atmosphere was frighteningly cold.
Ruby stood across from Arthur and looked at him fearfully. She wanted to speak but she did not dare.
"Where did you say the high-end imitation dress was bought from?" Arthur's eyes were fixed on her, not letting go of the slightest change in her face.
Ruby tried hard to maintain the calmness on her face, but her legs had begun to tremble. "I... I bought a high imitation dress myself."
"Tell me the truth!" Arthur suddenly raised his voice, and his eyes were full of gloom.
"!" Ruby was so scared that she took a step back and almost bumped into the table. "This was given to
me by Mr. Wallace. He said that he would give me a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for my sake."
Fortunately, Mr. Wallace had predicted this result and told her how to deal with it. Otherwise, she would have been exposed!
Mr. Wallace also said that as long as she was not Miss Maynard, nothing else mattered.
Arthur's expression became more and more gloomy. Jenson actually dared to scheme against him!
"Ms. Morgan, I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you. Arthur, I'm really sorry." Ruby lowered her gaze and hid the fear in her eyes. She looked a little weak.
Arthur ignored her and stood up to leave.
"Ting!" Ruby called out to him. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes. "Is it really impossible between you and me?"
"Yes!" Arthur looked into her eyes and answered without hesitation.
It was absolutely impossible between him and her!
...
Under Chad's leadLucy found the presidential suite that Kylah was already in.
"Oh my god, but, you look so beautiful in this dress. Who has such good taste?" Kylah had already reached a few private agreements with Chad, and she did not reject the engagement so much!
Hearing this, Chad quickly winked at her. "Bring it up. Don't ask such a stupid question!"
"Chad, what's wrong with you?" Kylah frowned and complained.
