Chapter 141

On their way to Lucy's company, Charlie kept giving Matthew weird looks.Matthew's skin crawled under his gaze, and he finally blurted out, "What's with you? Why do you keep staring at me like that?"Charlie sighed. "I never thought you'd let your wife work, Matthew. I figured you'd spoil her rotten and keep her all to yourself at home every day."Matthew shot Charlie a frosty glance. "Spoiling her is one thing, but trapping her is another. You're a lawyer. Shouldn't you know better?"Charlie cleared his throat, now even more curious about Matthew's wife. What kind of amazing person could have such a hold on Matthew?They soon arrived at the entrance of Lucy's company. The receptionist, who knew Matthew well, quickly made a call."Ms. Lucy, Mr. Leon is here."After a brief chat, she directed Matthew to the private elevator that led straight to Lucy's office.Matthew pushed open the office door and froze. The desk was buried under a mountain of paperwork. What in the world?How

Once they had introduced themselves, Lucy set aside the papers she was holding and gave Matthew a soft smile."Did you manage to grab something to eat on your way here?"Matthew gazed at Lucy fondly. "Nope, I was waiting for you to finish work."Lucy let out a sigh. "You have to eat well even when I'm not around. What if you upset your stomach?"She was about to lead Matthew and Charlie to the company cafeteria for a quick bite when she turned to Charlie. "Mr. Jennings, any foods you don't eat? I can let the kitchen know. And what's your favorite food? I'll have them whip up a special plate for you."Charlie, hearing this, had to hold back a laugh. She was being so thoughtful, but the way Matthew was showing off their love was worthy of an eye roll. Matthew caught the look on Charlie's face and gave him a cool glance."Don't worry about it. No need to ask him what he wants."What? Lucy looked at Matthew, her face a picture of confusion. She thought, 'He's your buddy, isn't he?

Chapter 143

That was when Lucy really started to believe that Charlie was a top lawyer, the kind who had never lost a case.She wondered to herself how someone could seem so different from one moment to the next. Maybe it was just his personal charm. As she thought about it, she kept a serious look on her face.She had the table cleared of food and took out the three notebooks Mabel had given her."These notebooks are full of my artist's ideas and notes for the comic book. They're way more detailed than what the other party has."Charlie frowned and let out a sigh. "This isn't enough to prove who plagiarized who."Lucy nodded. "I know, but we're going to win this lawsuit for sure."Charlie was surprised by Lucy's confidence. He knew the case would be tough, especially with such little evidence. Even the best lawyer could not make a losing case win without solid proof.Where was Lucy's confidence coming from? Sighing, she opened up Lunar Arthouse's comic online and pointed to the dates. "Loo

Lucy was having a great chat with Matthew and Charlie when the phone rang, cutting through their fun."Hello?" Lucy answered."Hey, Lulu. What's up with your company? You're in court again?"It was Casey on the other end.Lucy got it in a flash. Lunar Arthouse must have tried to get Casey on board. She reassured her friend with a smile, "Don't worry, all's good here. We've got the case under control, and we're sure to win."They talked a bit more and then said goodbye. Charlie and the rest, who had waited for her to finish, asked, "Who was that? They know about the trouble you're having already?"Lucy thought for a moment before deciding to reveal the details."That was my friend, the best lawyer around. The Quinns probably wanted them for their defense, but my friend declined and called to check on me."Lucy could obviously sort this out on her own, no help needed.…On the other hand, after their setback with Casey, the Quinn family quickly hired a new lawyer to defend them

By the end, Luna's features were all contorted. Was Aiden not supposed to be one of the best around? How could she not win this case?!She did not realize that Aiden was also frustrated. Did Luna not see the problem? Someone at her company had copied another artist's comic, and they always published later than the original.If they were going to fake evidence, they should have at least taken down the website.

The room went quiet because Lucy did not say a word.She stopped trying to grab her papers and just looked at Matthew.Matthew felt more and more uncomfortable as Lucy watched him. He finally gave up and handed the papers back to her with a sad look in his eyes.He really just wanted his wife to spend more time with him. Why was it so hard? Lucy took the papers and dove back into her work, not noticing Matthew feeling lonely next to her.Could Matthew be upset with his wife? No way!He could not be mad at her! She was his wife, and he was supposed to adore her no matter what. What about the big ball of frustration inside him that he could not let out, though? What was he to do about it?Quietly, Matthew pulled out his notebook and started planning.

What good would that do?!Matthew had embarrassed Timothy so badly. Any guy would find it hard to let that slide, and Timothy knew it all too well.Trying to keep his cool, he told his dad, "Don't worry, I've got this."He then hung up.Slumping into his chair, Timothy held his head which was aching with worry. What now? He could not let Lucas Corporation, a hundred-year legacy, crumble on his watch.Just then, Luna rushed into his office, all flustered."Tim!"Seeing her, Timothy's worries lightened a little. He always tried to keep it together in front of his woman."Nana, what's wrong?"Luna was on edge. "Tim, my company needs more money. That lawsuit hit us hard, and we can't bounce back fast enough. If you don't help, I might go under!"Timothy's forehead vein popped. Not this again. Always asking for money, without a single thought for Lucas Corporation's share price.Timothy's mind wandered back to the days he spent studying finance with Lucy. She would not have misse

Luna froze, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. "Tim, what are you trying to say?"Timothy rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. "I'm saying that Lucas Corporation is in big trouble, and I can't deal with you right now. Go do something else, okay?"Her last bit of hope crumbled, and Luna slumped to the floor. Her usual grace was gone.No way! How could Tim's company be failing?He owned the biggest company in town, and only the Quinn family could stand up to him.The Lucas family had not made any enemies. Wait a minute! A sudden thought struck her, and she pictured the faces of Lucy and her successful husband.It had to be Lucy!Luna's face twisted with bitterness.Was Lucy jealous of her happiness?At that moment, Timothy looked at Luna with pure distaste. Luna, already on edge, saw it right away."Tim, what's your problem? Are you looking down on me?" she yelled, not realizing that her outburst was making Timothy even more disgusted.'Was I just not seeing clearly? How coul

Chapter 150

Timothy could not see Luna's face, but he thought she understood. After he hung up, he drove back to their place.The moment he walked in, a black bag was pulled over his head, and then he felt a hard hit on the back of his head.He fell to the floor, knocked out, with Luna standing over him. She had hatred in her eyes.Luna was panting with a look of triumph in her eyes. "That's what you get for ignoring me and thinking you can replace me," she thought. She grabbed the hemp rope she had bought earlier from the coffee table and tied up Timothy's hands and feet. Then, using a small cart, she pushed him down to the basement of the villa.The basement was a hidden place meant for safety during big disasters. It was stocked with lots of emergency gear and medical supplies.Knowing her way around, Luna took out an IV drip from the medical box, set it up for Timothy, and then used his phone to transfer a bunch of money from his bank account to hers using his fingerprint.Luna gave a
