Chapter 202
Ruby's face was burning hot under his gaze. Even though she knew that he had no intention of seducing her, her heart was still thumping wildly.
She walked up to him with small steps and whispered, "Mr. Wallace, you'd better drink less wine. It's not good for your health."
"Oh! You want to care about me? Huh?" Jenson chuckled and approached her. He blew a breath of wine at her, and his eyes were full of disdain. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Such a gaze made Ruby very uncomfortable. She stood up and distanced herself from him. "Mr. Wallace, I was driven out of Lindbarry Chateau by Mr. Johnson."
"You have such a face and have been driven out. You are really capable." Jenson leaned lazily on the sofa with a cold light in his eyes.
"Lizbeth was forced to such a state by Arthur and Lucy. He wants them to pay the price!"
Ruby lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
"Forget it, if you don't cooperate, it's useless to stay with Mr. Johnson for too long." Jenson held his chin with one hand. "Let's call it a day."
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ruby's face.
Jenson continued, "Your grandma is still short of the last stage of treatment. I hope you can get the remaining 500,000 dollars as soon as possible."
"Mr. Wallace, I'll cooperate. I'll really cooperate!" Ruby was so scared that she knelt on the ground and her tears flowed uncontrollably. "I'll listen to your orders. You can ask me to do anything as long as you don't stop Grandma's treatment!"
Jenson stood up, hooked her chin, and asked frivolously, "Anything can be done?"
Ruby nodded uneasily and her tears flowed even faster.
"Okay." Jenson kissed the tears on her face and put his hands on her shoulders. His gorgeous voice was a little gloomy. "Then stay with me for a few days."
"Doesn't Arthur like children?"
When "Elyse" was pregnant with Arthur's child, he wanted to see if Arthur would choose "Elyse" or "Lucy"!
However, no matter who Arthur liked, he would not let Arthur be with his wife and children!
...
When Lucy woke up, she saw Arthur beside her bed. When their gazes met, he immediately shifted his gaze and acted as if he was playing with his phone.
Looking at the black screen of her phone, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But when she thought of the deep conversation between him and Elyse that night, she no longer wanted to laugh.
"Arthur, you..." Since he cared about her, why did he have to sleep with Elyse? Why did he have to let Elyse snatch my room?
Arthur put down his phone and waited for her to finish.
"Are you hungry?" When the words reached the tip of his tongue, Lucy swallowed them back down. As long as he didn't divorce her and allowed her to stay by the child's side, that was already enough.

Just like the old master said, who didn't have a few lovers in the rich and powerful families? The loyalty and love in the rich and powerful families were too extravagant. She couldn't afford it!
Arthur didn't answer her. He just went out of the lounge. After a while, he came in with some warm food.
There were tables and chairs in the lounge. He put the food on the table, set two pairs of chopsticks, and went to the bed to hold her.
"I can walk on my own!" Lucy hurriedly said.
However, Arthur ignored her. He carried her in his arms, put her on the chair, and then sat down beside her.
She looked at his side face and could not tell whether she was in a good mood or not. When he spoiled people, he could really spoil people to the sky, but when he was ruthless, he could also make people feel like they were in hell.
Arthur picked up his chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of fish and chicken leg meat for her. He had already taken note of how Kylah had said that she had lost weight. Even though... he felt that Lucy's chest had grown bigger.
After serving her, he began to eat.
Lucy looked at the time. It was already half past two. "You haven't had lunch yet?"
"I'm busy." He was busy looking at her. Besides, she was here. He didn't want to eat alone.
The two of them ate quietly. Other than chewing, there was no other sound.
Lucy didn't want to say a word.
After asking Arthur about it, she pulled out a few thorns from the bottom of her heart, but the most painful one was still there.
The entanglement between Arthur and Elyse was the most painful thorn in her heart. She couldn't see it when she wasn't paying attention, but she could feel the pain.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"You eat first." Arthur put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the lounge.
After a while, the Max's careful voice came from the office. "President, Mr. Byrd wants to see you."
"Who do you think I am? I won't see you!" There was even a hint of sarcasm in Arthur's cold voice.
Max said, "Your father specially called to ask you to go to the hospital with Mr. Byrd. Miss Byrd's situation is very unstable."
"If you're sick, find a doctor." Arthur was already impatient.
Just as Lucy was thinking about how Lizbeth would suddenly go crazy, Arthur pushed the door open and sat down beside her.
The door of the lounge was open. She saw a desperate assistant through the crack in the door.
Seeing her looking over, the assistant's eyes lit up and he said with his mouth, "Please, Madam."
Arthur followed her gaze and looked over. His handsome face was covered with frost. He stretched out his long legs and kicked the door with a bang.
Max was speechless.
Even if Arthur didn't intervene, Lucy wouldn't help. She was very narrow-minded. Lizbeth had harmed her so many times, so she couldn't return good for evil.
Gulp—
Gulp—
When Lucy was about to continue eating, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Because her mobile phone had been changed, many numbers had not been saved, and there was no note on this number.
She looked at Arthur and saw that he did not stop her, so she picked up the phone.
Before she could speak, the Old Master's strong voice came from the other side. "Lucy?"
"Mmm." When the old man called at this time, Lucy felt that it had something to do with Lizbeth.
Sure enough, he said, "Mr. Byrd called me and said that the girl of the Byrd family is in poor health, so he asked Caden to go and have a look. Even if the two families don't cooperate with each other, the friendship that has lasted for decades will always be there. I refuse to be heartless. What do you think?"
It was a question, but it was an order.
Lucy sneered in his heart, but when he spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant. "If your rival in love said that he would commit suicide without seeing Grandma, would you ask Grandma to comfort him?"
"It's a human life after all. A human life is more important than heaven." The old tutor was already
unhappy, and his tone was a bit heavy.
Lucy gripped the phone tightly, and his fingers turned white from the force. "What if this love rival almost killed a child several times?"
Without waiting for the old man to get angry, she continued, "If you have already made your decision in the future, just inform me directly. There is no need to ask me again. Otherwise, what's the difference between being a whore and wanting to build a memorial arch again?"
"Naughty!" The old tutor was used to giving orders, but he was suddenly taught a lesson by a younger generation. His anger soared.
The old man's roar was so loud that Arthur could hear it clearly. He frowned and reached out to Lucy. "Give it to me!"
He respected his grandfather, but he would not allow his grandfather to bully his woman like this!
