"You're old?"Koven glared at Selena and then retorted: "How am I not old? I'm old!""Tsk, you're still young, but you think of yourself as old. In that case, just go to the square and start playing chess," Selena said to him sarcastically. "What's wrong with that? I'm old because I'm mature and charming. You're childish like a little girl," Koven said unhappily.The two had a staring contest in front of everyone.At this time, Chelsea suddenly said to Lucy, "Don't you think they're a good match?" Lucy looked at her and nodded. She said with a sly smile: "I think they're a good match, but I don't know what they think." Chelsea laughed. Selena and Koven stopped laughing when they heard them gossiping. Koven asked, "What are you guys talking about? You look so happy. Care to share the joy?" Selena also looked at them and nodded, very curious about what they were talking about just now. Chelsea calmed down, patted her chest, and said, "We were just saying that you two make a
"Logically speaking, Lacee's plagiarism will only get her two or three years at most, and pushing Lucy will get her another two or three years, which is only five or six years in total. Besides, Lucy didn't suffer any harm"I'm a lawyer, and I'm on Matthew's side. Do you think I haven't done my best to make her get the longest sentence possible?" Charlie rolled his eyes at Chelsea and said.Matthew was actually quite dissatisfied when he heard this. After all, Lucy and the baby in her belly were hurt. How could he accept a mere ten-year sentence? Although he was very indignant in his heart, he believed in Charlie. After all, Charlie was a lawyer.Charlie said it was ten years, so that was that."Matthew, Hudson, Koven, let's go and discuss things." Charlie drank a glass of water, stood up, and said to the three of them."What's the matter? Lucy needs someone to accompany her now!" Koven said without knowing what Charlie was talking about.Hudson and Matthew were the first to reac
Koven's words just now revealed a sense of maturity and confidence. He thought that the three of them would definitely allow him to stay while they went to Charleston to look for Charlotte, but things did not turn out as expected. "You don't need to go to Charleston. You, Selena, Chelsea, and Hugh can stay behind to protect Lucy. The three of us will go," Hudson said slowly, breaking the silence."Do I really not need to go? Don't you need me? If you're going to Charleston, you'll definitely need to investigate things. What if you need me?" Koven became nervous the moment they mentioned not bringing him along.At this point, Matthew, who had been silent, finally spoke up. He looked into Koven's eyes and said, "Koven, I think it's better for you to stay with Lucy. Originally, we intended to take you with us, but someone has to stay with Lucy. "Moreover, your task is even more significant than what we'll be doing in Charleston—taking care of Lucy. The four of us definitely shouldn'
"Alright, so when are you guys planning to leave? Time waits for no one. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back. That'll be for the best," Koven sighed deeply as he spoke to the three of them."I think we can wait until Lucy is feeling better and set off the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's pack our things and handle our work. That would be best," Hudson said and then looked at the other three."Alright, let's leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll handle our affairs here. I'll go back in the afternoon and tell Lucy that I'll be going on a business trip," Matthew said, glancing at Hudson and Charlie."I'm fine with that. I don't mind. After all, I don't currently have any cases on hand, so I have some free time," Charlie said.Hudson said, "I don't have much going on either. With Koven and Lucy at the company, I can be at ease. Now that Lacee's trouble has been resolved, no one will be causing trouble at the company. I should have everything settled by tomorrow. The
After Lucy finished speaking, she looked at Selena.Selena felt conflicted upon hearing their conversation. She did not know whether she should bravely express her feelings or wait for Koven to confess to her. After all, would it be too abrupt for a woman to tell a guy she liked him? Which woman did not dream of a love story starting with a bouquet of flowers? She was no different.Back then, she got together with a guy at his lowest point and stayed with him for five years. She worked two jobs to support him throughout those years, only for him to suddenly tell her one day that he did not like her anymore. What could she do about it? She had no choice but to end the relationship. After that, she no longer dared to guess a man's thoughts. It was just too exhausting.Selena was just about to speak when she heard a very familiar voice. She turned to look."Selena?"Upon hearing the voice, Selena turned around, and her expression froze completely."Linus Gusman?"Lucy was about
“Are you two…” Lucy pointed at them, unable to believe it. Could such a dramatic scene really happen in real life?Before Selena could speak, Linus interrupted, “It was Selena who helped me get to where I am now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t protect her. I’m really sorry, Selena.” Linus then looked up at Selena.Yes, if it were not for Selena back then, none of this would have happened.He chose Selena at the time because she looked very much like the girl from his childhood with her haircut and glasses...However, he never had any strong feelings for Selena.Even now, he did not feel much for her.“No need to thank me. We parted ways amicably, and we’re both doing well now. I’m content with that.” Selena’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Lucy and Chelsea, having never experienced such things, did not know what to say and remained silent on the side.“Lucy, how are you doing now?” Linus asked with concern.Lucy, still in shock, hurriedly replied, “I’m much better now.
"Matthew!"Lucy watched as Matthew's veins bulged in anger. A sense of panic arose within her.Linus was punched by Matthew and fell against the edge of a nearby table. Clutching his abdomen, he collapsed to the floor.At this moment, Matthew, with his eyes filled with fury, angrily said to Linus, "I warned you before not to come near to Lucy. And now, you dare to do this right in front of me!"Lucy quickly waved her hands and said, "Matthew, you misunderstood. It's not like that at all. Linus saw I was uncomfortable in my position, so he was just helping me adjust the bed a bit.""Lucy, why are you always getting into arguments with me over someone like him? I’ve told you many times that he's no good. Why don't you listen? You always take his side. What am I supposed to think?" Matthew said when he saw Lucy defending Linus, overcome with jealousy.At this moment, Koven spoke up."Lucy, I advise you to stay away from Linus. He's not a good person. Trust me. Charlie, Hudson, and
"Is this true?" Selena cautiously glanced at Linus on the ground and then turned her head toward Koven.Koven sighed, realizing he could not hide the truth any longer. He had to explain to Selena and Lucy, "Earlier, Matthew told me that Linus was a dangerous person. I didn’t believe it at first, so I checked him out on the Mermaid Network. "What I found was shocking. He was an assassin for Spades a long time ago and was involved in three major infamous incidents worldwide. One of the biggest cases was the assassination of a president."Although he has distanced himself from Spades to avoid retaliation, he still works for them. None of us knows what mission he's currently undertaking!"Lucy, hearing this, looked at Matthew. Matthew sighed deeply, feeling helpless.At this moment, Selena had tears welling up in her eyes as she turned to Linus and asked, "Is this true? I want to hear it from you."Linus wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, and said, "Selena, I’m re
