Chapter 23
The voice that came out of nowhere,caught Timothy off guard. His expression sank as he looked around to find out who said that.
A pretty and energetic–looking young woman was standing in the middle of the road. She was all fired up after hearing how Timothy
distorted the truth.
The reporters quickly turned their cameras to the woman as if they were predators who had locked onto their prey.
When the woman appeared on television, Lucy was surprised. Was that not her best friend, Chelsea?
“Why is Chelsea at the entrance of Lucas Corporation?”
Lucy immediately shook her head and said, “No, now’s not the time to think about that. Chelsea is going to get bullied!”
Lucy became fretful at the thought of her best friend being around that unsightly couple.
At the same time, Matthew sat down next to Lucy.
He patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Have some apples. We’ll go over there after this.”
“But…” Lucy was getting worried.
“Besides, it doesn’t look like your best friend has any intention of backing down.”
Matthew calmly pointed at the screen.
When Lucy returned her attention to the television, she saw Chelsea tirelessly attacking the couple. It did not seem like she was falling behind at all.
“I don’t understand how you can be so shameless, Timothy. You’re quite the expert at shifting the blame to save yourself.
“No, you’re not just shameless. Shameless is an understatement for a scumbag like you.”
Timothy’s face got even more twisted as Chelsea spoke, so he retorted, “Stop with the slander. You ought to learn some manners, especially considering reporters are present.”
The reporters ignored Timothy’s statement. They did not care what the truth was, but Chelsea’s story was much more intriguing than Timothy’s.
“Miss, is what you said true?”
“Are you saying that Mr. Lucas is the one who cheated?”
Hearing the reporters‘ words, a sinister look flashed in Timothy’s eyes. He quickly shouted at them, “If you want to keep your jobs, you’d better shut the fuck up!”
The reporters felt threatened, so they kept their mouths shut.
Timothy was pleased to see that he got what he wanted. Then, he turned to Chelsea.
“What a good friend you are to Lucy. You must’ve picked up your sharp tongue from her.”
Chelsea sneered. “I’m not being harsh; I’m telling the truth.”
“What proof do you have?”
Timothy looked proud as if he was at an advantage.
“Yesterday, Lucy brought a man to the wedding. Everyone at the wedding witnessed it. I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend. Did she get herself a boy toy?”
Luna chimed in while feebly leaning into Timothy, “I never heard my sister mention it either.”
Then, she put on a worried look on her face. “My sister is incredibly naive. I’m worried that he’ll take advantage of her.
“Last night, she fought with our mom because of that man and ran away from home. If you’re really her best friend, Chelsea, you’ll tell my sister to come home.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
