The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 60
Lucy was taking a bath when she heard the phone ring. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Hello.""Hello, is this Ms. Lucy Everhart?" The voice on the other end was very pleasant."Who is this?" Lucy asked, puzzled."Hello, I'm Brett Eberhard, the president of Eberhard Group. I came across the video of your impromptu design online, and I think you have incredible potential. I'd like to discuss a multimillion-dollar collaboration with you. Could we arrange a face-to-face meeting?"Lucy's eyes narrowed. Potential collaborators would usually contact her assistant first, but this person had reached out to her directly.Had he investigated her beforehand?Lucy asked, "How did you get my number?"Brett was taken aback for a moment. This woman was composed and not easily swayed by the lure of profit. Interesting!"Ms. Everhart, how I got your contact information isn't important," Brett replied smoothly. "What matters is the substantial salar

"Mr. Ripley, do you suspect the couple online aren't Mrs. Ripley's parents?" Tobias nodded. "Keep an eye out for everything. Go handle it.""Sure, Mr. Ripley."Tobias gazed at the sky as the plane flew farther away. Thinking of Lucy leaving his side, he suddenly felt an unexpected emptiness.…The next day, before Lucy met Martin and Rosa, she spoke to them over the phone. They said that they would wait for her under the pine tree at the Bearclaw Village's entrance.As Lucy approached the village's entrance, she saw the two of them. They were dressed plainly and had wrinkles on their faces.Whenever Lucy thought about her long-lost parents, it felt like needles pricking her heart. Yet, when she saw them, an inexplicable calmness washed over her."Lucy!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Rosa rushed forward and hugged Lucy, weeping uncontrollably.Martin, who was equally emotional, added, "My precious Lucy, we've finally found you..."Lucy awkwardly hugged them back and said, "Mr. an

What Lucy didn't realize was that some villagers had recorded her visit to the village and posted the footage online with the caption:#Mrs. Ripley's Reunion Follow-upAfter Anna returned to Eberhard Residence, she spotted Rhett in the living room, engrossed in his phone. Quietly, she tiptoed over and playfully covered his eyes. "Guess who.""Ann!"Anna deliberately pressed her chest against Rhett's, her eyes lingering on his handsome face. Fortunately, there was no one else in the living room to witness her obvious infatuation."Well, that was no fun. You guessed right away."Rhett took her hand and sat her beside him, asking, "Ann, are you tired after the flight?"Anna shook her head. When she caught a glimpse of the video playing on Rhett's phone, her eyes flickered. "Rhett, I'm not tired. Are you watching the news? It turns out that the woman who tried to seduce my boyfriend found her biological parents, yet she still despises them for being poor. Shameless."Rhett subtly

Lucy's mind conjured images of her parents enduring a chilly, run-down home furnished with odds and ends, and it filled her with overwhelming sorrow. She hugged Rosa tightly and wept, "Dad, Mom, you've suffered so much."She still had doubts about them, given the lack of a DNA test. However, the revelation that they had sold everything they owned and endured a life of hardship just to reunite with her filled her with shame for ever doubting them.Rosa said, "Lucy, please don't cry. We would have sacrificed everything, even our lives, to find you." She exchanged a knowing glance with Martin. Martin continued, "Yes, Lucy. Haven't you married into wealth? Perhaps our son-in-law will soon gift us a luxurious house."Rosa scolded him, saying, "What are you talking about? Our daughter has just returned, and you're already eager for her to ask her husband to buy us a house?"Martin countered, "With our daughter's striking beauty, isn't it a steal for him? He shouldn't be stingy when i

Lucy had run out of the folic acid tablets she carried with her, so she went to a nearby pharmacy for a new bottle. When she returned, she saw the restaurant staff stopping Rosa and Martin from entering.Martin said, "Let me warn you, we're not beggars. My daughter is married to the wealthiest man, and we're well-off. If you dare insult me, you'd better look out for my son-in-law!""Exactly! Do you even know who my daughter and son-in-law are? If you mess with us, you'll regret it!" Rosa added.The two of them started to tussle with the restaurant staff.Observing the scene, Lucy couldn't help but cover her face, feeling a tinge of embarrassment. However, she reminded herself that Martin and Rosa were from a rural background and might not have a grasp of social etiquette, which was understandable.Then, she stepped forward to mediate. "Mom, Dad, please stop arguing."She turned to the staff and said, "Apologies; it was my idea to bring them here. Could you arrange a private

Martin overheard the conversation while eating, and his temper flared instantly."What nonsense are you spouting? Who's abandoning whom? I bet you're envious that my daughter has married into wealth. That's why you're saying this, you petty-minded woman!" Martin said, ready to throw a punch."I'm simply stating the truth. If Tobias Ripley knew the kind of people his in-laws are, he wouldn't even acknowledge you! I'm warning you, don't even think about laying a hand on me. I have strong backing!"Lucy quickly pulled him back. "Dad, please don't make a scene. It'll only make us look ridiculous, okay?" She was slightly annoyed."Lucy, she implied that your husband will leave you because he dislikes us. Call him and ask him directly, see how he responds."Lucy felt somewhat embarrassed by Martin's unreasonable behavior."Dad, Tobias is really busy. Please don't make a scene. Let's finish eating, and then I'll take you both to rest, okay?""Ha, I see you're feeling guilty, huh? I dar

"Sienna, please don't cry. Where are you? I'll come to you right away."Sienna provided an address. Lucy then turned to Martin and Rosa. "Mom, Dad, I need to step out for a bit. Please rest well and call the hotel staff if you need anything.""Alright, go ahead and take care of what you need to do."Before leaving, Lucy was still worried. It was their first time at the hotel, and she feared they might have trouble with the unfamiliar surroundings. She spoke to the hotel staff and gave them a tip. Then, she asked them to keep an eye on Martin and Rosa and call her immediately if anything happened.After taking care of everything, she finally drove off to find Sienna.…In Tribe Tavern, Sienna sat alone in a private room, channeling her sadness into a ravenous appetite. Tears streamed down her face as she devoured her meal.She reached for a bottle of beer, ready to drink, when Lucy burst into the room. Shocked by the sight, Lucy exclaimed, "Sienna, what are you doing?"She rus

"Thanks, Lucy," Sienna said.Lucy held her hand. "You don't need to thank me. I want you to promise me one thing, though—don't tell anyone that I'm Alicia."Sienna didn't understand it. "Why are you hiding something like that when it's a good thing?"Lucy smiled without saying anything. Sienna didn't probe further. "Well, alright then. I'll keep your secret a secret."Lucy hugged her. "Thanks.""Now that's how things should be! You're capable, Sienna, so you should focus on your career. When you start earning big bucks in the future, you can get yourself a few sugar babies. Piss that bastard off!" Faith poured a glass of wine and two glasses of juice. "Let's toast to that, girlfriends."The three women picked up their respective glasses. "Cheers!"After downing her drink, Faith said, "It's boring that I'm the only one drinking alcohol.""Well, we're both pregnant." Lucy and Sienna exchanged a look and smiled at each other. Then, they both turned to look at Faith.It made her h
