The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 34
Caught off guard, Lucy widened her eyes in shock as Tobias bit and sucked at her lips. She gasped in pain and tried to pull away, yet all she could do was endure until Tobias vented his anger."Is this about the pictures? Are you feeling jealous?" Lucy asked curiously once Tobias released her.Tobias smirked coldly. "Why should I be? I have no feelings for you or whatsoever. Here's a warning—if the paparazzi ever catch you in another scandal, you're not getting away with it!"Lucy couldn't help feeling a pang of dejection at his words. She had thought his aggressive kiss had been driven by jealousy, but it turned out he was more worried about saving his own face. "Don't worry. It won't happen again," Lucy mumbled glumly.Tobias silently started the engine and drove off. Throughout the journey, neither of them uttered a single word as they sat in brooding silence.After a tense half-hour drive, Tobias finally pulled over in front of Ripley Residence's gates."Welcome back, Mr. T

"What's there to see? After all, you bought all those things with Tobias' money. You're just trying to change the subject from your divorce." Joey sneered contemptuously. "Don't say that, Joey. It's the thought that counts," Howard sternly refuted. Although Tobias was the head of the Ripley family, Howard's authority remained unquestioned. No one dared to challenge his word.As Joey shot Lucy a hateful glare, her resentment for the latter grew. Zayne, too, viewed her with prejudice and thought of her as a gold digger. "Just take a look at your gifts. Regardless of whose money was spent, it's Lucy's thought that counts," Tobias stated."Suit yourself. It's not going to change the fact that you two are getting a divorce." Joey fumed as the maids began unwrapping Lucy's gifts.Upon recognizing the antique painting in the box, Howard exclaimed in excitement, "Is this the landscape painting by Leonardo Montoya?"Lucy nodded with a warm smile. "Tobias told me that you're a fan of ant

Howard raised a brow at Jionni's remark. "Why don't you see for yourself?"Jionni gladly took up the offer. As Howard and Jionni examined the landscape painting, Joey continued to shoot disparaging remarks at Lucy. After a while, Howard turned to Lucy and asked, "So, you said you bought this from a friend for a million dollars?"Lucy nodded in acknowledgement. In truth, the painting had been a gift from her friend. However, she doubted that anyone would believe her and chose to tell a small lie."You've struck gold with Lucy, Tobias. Who knew she had an eye for bargains? She's our lucky star!" Howard laughed.Hearing Howard's compliments, Tobias stole a glance at Lucy, who returned his gaze with a warm smile. In that instant, Tobias felt his heart racing."What do you mean by that, Dad? Are you saying this is an authentic piece?" Zayne could hardly believe his ears and hurriedly questioned. "Indeed. I had a feeling that this is a genuine work of Leonardo Montoya," Jionni af

Tobias turned to Lucy in surprise. The Queen of Faldoria, Anabella Meritt, had requested Lucy's presence?Meeting Tobias' gaze, Lucy looked at him in confusion. Why was he looking at her like that?"You have three hours before leaving for Faldoria, but there's an emergency meeting you need to attend," Finn added.After assuring Finn that he would return to the company soon, Tobias ended the call and turned to Lucy. "I've got some business to attend to. Meanwhile, you need to go home and pack. We're leaving for Faldoria at 3:00 pm."Lucy pointed to herself in astonishment. "Why am I going with you? I have things to settle in Azureville!""Set them aside for now. The Queen of Faldoria has requested your presence. You should be proud to have become Mrs. Ripley," Tobias proudly stated.Lucy rolled her eyes at his narcissist remark and argued, "My affairs are important too. Why should I simply forsake them?"Now that her team had secured the deal with Ripley Group, Lucy needed time t

Tobias attempted to reach out to Lucy, yet she failed to answer her phone. He instinctively furrowed his brow as an ominous feeling crept over him. "Is something wrong? Is Mrs. Ripley on her way?" Finn asked upon noticing Tobias' solemn expression. Alongside Lucy and Tobias, Finn and Sasha were set to travel to Faldoria as well."She's not picking up," Tobias replied as his concern deepened.Finn glanced at the time and suggested, "There's still half an hour left before the flight. Why don't we head to the airport first? I'll have someone try to reach Mrs. Ripley."As Lucy's close friend and assistant, Sasha knew her inside out. Anxiously, Sasha interjected, "There's no way Lucy wouldn't answer her phone. Something must have happened to her!"Hearing that, Tobias turned to her in confusion. "Are you acquainted with my wife, Ms. Alicia?"Sasha was momentarily stunned by Tobias' question before she tried to cover up her identity. "Oh, we're old friends. Lucy's always reachable, a

Hearing the word divorce made Tobias frown in displeasure. Turning around, he walked out of the room to continue the call. Noticing Tobias' serious expression, Lucy wondered what was wrong."Tobias, you should know the benefits of this marriage more than anyone else. If you marry the Eberhards' daughter, our family's position in society will be unshakable."Tobias' anger was palpable. He said in an icy tone, "Mom, do you really think that everyone in the world is like you guys and would marry or divorce just for the sake of benefits?"There was silence on the other end of the line.He took a deep breath before stating, "Do not contact me in the future if it's not for something important."After hanging up the phone, Tobias leaned against the wall and rubbed his aching temples.Lucy noticed his weary expression.

Anabella praised, "I didn't expect you to speak fluent Faldorian, Mrs. Ripley."Lucy merely smiled politely in response. Anabella turned her gaze to Sasha, causing the latter's heart to leap to her throat. When Anabella noticed Sasha's panicked expression, a fleeting look of disdain crossed her face. Nonetheless, she smiled and said, "This must be the renowned designer, Alicia."Sasha said in Clusian, "Your Majesty, I'm… Alicia."A person standing at the side immediately translated what she said."Let's sit down and talk, everyone.""Yes, Your Majesty."They all sat in their assigned seats."Mr. Ripley, I'll get straight to the point. My birthday party is less than a month away, and all my guests are of high social status."What I'm going to wear must be stunning. It should be able to leave an impression that lasts a lifetime while still making me look dignified and reserved. I've paid you very handsomely, so you must not disappoint me," Anabella explained.Since Tobias had
