Chapter 14
Overwhelmed with grief at her father–in–law’s sudden departure, Luna started shedding tears.
Timothy’s face became ominously dark as he questioned, “Mom, how could Dad leave right now? It’s my wedding. How am I supposed to explain this to Luna’s parents?”
Patricia understood her son’s anger, but she could not do much except let out a sigh and explain, “Something happened at the company, so your dad had to leave to take care of matters.”
She then turned to look at Melanie apologetically and said, “Mrs. Quinn, I’m really sorry. Timothy’s father has some urgent business to take care of at the company. I hope you understand!”
Melanie said, “It’s okay.”
In fact, she minded it a lot, and it was weighing on her mind. No matter how important the matter was, how could it be more important than his own son’s wedding?
After they got into the car, Lucy was confused as to why Matthew. was not driving away.
When they saw Aaron run out of the hotel in a panic, a smile made its way to Matthew’s face.
Then, Lucy saw Matthew take out his phone to make a call. “You can stop manipulating Lucas Corporation’s share price now.”
She was still looking at Matthew with confusion even after he put the phone away.
Smiling, he caressed Lucy’s head and said, “Don’t look at me like that. People who mistreat my woman will have to pay for what they did.”
She seemed to be staring blankly at the man in front of her, but in truth, she was feeling a strong sense of reassurance.

Who exactly was the man in front of her?
Suddenly, Lucy’s phone rang.

“You’re’a real piece of work, Lucy. How could you not tell me that Timothy was marrying someone else? Are you trying to piss me off?”

Now that someone else, it was only natural that Chelsea was furious.
At this moment, Chelsea was sitting in her office, just about to get her bag and leave. However, when she heard Lucy laugh, she thought.
that perhaps things were not as bad as she thought.
Given how much Lucy loved Timothy, Chelsea thought that her best friend would be devastated. Lucy might have even gotten herself drunk.
She was relieved to hear Lucy laugh.
They were adults now, so it was normal to have their hearts broken.
It all depended on how one chose to face it.
Although Lucy’s attitude was unexpected, Chelsea was glad to see her like this.
“If that bastard could give up a five–year relationship just like that, he’s no good. It’s a good thing you broke up. It would’ve been too late if you only found out that he’s an asshole after you got married.”
Chelsea’s anger was rising the more she cursed Timothy. Then, she asked, “Where are you? Do you wanna grab a drink with me?”
