Chapter 98
Lucy sat in the café hesitantly with a cup of coffee that she had randomly ordered. Meanwhile, Gabriella was elegantly sipping on the cappuccino she ordered.
The two of them had been silent for nearly 20 minutes. All this while, Gabriella had just been sipping on the coffee in front of her. Lucy had prepared herself to be criticized and interrogated by her, but she did not expect this. Somehow, it made her feel more tense.
She could not just sit there and do nothing, so she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.
Ah, how bitter...
"I thought you were bad enough, but looking at you closely now, your shortcomings have truly exceeded my imagination."
Lucy froze.
Gabriella put down her coffee cup and stared at Lucy carefully.
"With your demeanor, you're nowhere near worthy of Matty. Your sense of style is a mess. You're dressed in unknown, low-end brands.
"You're lacking class too. How on earth did Matty fall in love with you?"
The more Gabriella spoke, the more she started to doubt herself. It prompted her to scrutinize Lucy again.
She was certain that nothing was wrong with her eyesight. Everything she pointed out about Lucy was true. This young lady did not have any of the qualities she wanted in her daughter-in-law. She was foolish and naive!
Lucy was at a loss for words. She had no way to refute Gabriella as what she said was all facts.
Although the Quinn family was considered well-off, and they put a lot of emphasis on their daughter's education, she was an exception as she was not their biological daughter.
From a young age, Lucy's upbringing had been different from that of Luna's.
Luna learned all the etiquettes Gabriella mentioned, including personal styling, dining etiquette, social dancing, flower arrangement, and other essentials for ladies...
Meanwhile, Lucy learned finance
management, literature, and some painting courses. Apart from that, the Quinn family had never hired teachers to guide her in anything else.
From that alone, it could be seen that the Quinn family wanted to pamper Luna like a young lady from a rich family and let her indulge in all aspects of life.
On the other hand, Lucy was treated as an employee. They entrusted her with all the family's businesses, leaving her with the dirty work.
That was also why Lucy left the Quinn family's company as soon as she graduated from college and started her own comic company. Wait a minute... Back to the main topic...
In short, Lucy never learned any of those things, so she indeed knew nothing about it.
"Tell me, how can I make you leave Matthew?"
The more Gabriella looked at Lucy, the more disappointed she got, so she finally voiced her request. Lucy was at a loss.
She thought she knew how thingsNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
were going to go, but she did not
expect it to actually turn out this way This was just like the romance movie she watched with Matthew.
Melodramatic, clichéd, and full of plot twists.
The fact that it was happening to her in real life was unbelievable...
Lucy mustered up the courage to say to her politely, "Madam, what do you mean by that?"
Gabriella handed over her card. "Is this enough for you to leave Matthew?"
Reality really was crazier than in the movies!
Lucy numbly looked at the card in
front of her. She felt like she was in a
scene where the mother would throw money at her if she refused Was this the part where she wa supposed to say, 'We truly love each other. Please don't try to separate us!'
