Chapter 593
Chelsea was jolted awake by the loud voice and rubbed her ears as she sat up.
"Chelsea, let's go out later. We'll take a stroll!"
Chelsea was stunned. Usually, she had to coax Lucy to come out, but Lucy would always say she was looking for inspiration and refuse. Today, Lucy was the one inviting her out, which was incredibly rare...
Chelsea did not really feel like getting up, but this was a special occasion.
"Okay, I'll get ready and meet you in the city center soon."
After the call, Chelsea got up to prepare.
Hugh had been swamped at work for the past couple of days, coming home late each night.
Lucy was about to head out but decided to fix her clothes and hair first.
40 minutes later, they both arrived, one shortly after the other.
"Chelsea!" Lucy spotted Chelsea up ahead and called out to her with a loud voice.
Chelsea whirled around and instantly felt her cheeks burn as she noticed many onlookers. She quickly trotted over to Lucy, giving her a gentle poke.
"Next time, could you just call me, Lucy? It's so awkward when you shout like that!"
Lucy could not help but giggle at Chelsea's comment and grabbed her hand, leading her to a restaurant she had noticed earlier.
"I've seen this place before but never tried it. We've finally got some free time today!"
"You're one to talk. You're always too busy to hang out. If you came out more, we'd be bored of this spot by now!"
Lucy gave Chelsea a sheepish grin.
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind them.
"Why if it isn't Mrs. Leon?"
Both Lucy and Chelsea turned to see the last people they wanted to encounter-Lucy's least favorite duo, Luna and Timothy.
"Lucy darling..." Timothy looked
nothing like his former self,
appearing utterly dejected. Ever
since he crossed Matthew, his
company's investors had

abandoned him.
He did not dare cross Matthew. One could not fathom how much he had lost just to stay afloat.

"Timothy! How dare you call her 'darling' right in front of me!" Luna exploded at Timothy's words, her voice filled with fury. It was a stark contrast to her usual poise.
Chelsea had never liked that mean pair.
She retorted with a sneer, "Oh look, if it isn't Miss Luna herself?"
Luna lifted her chin haughtily, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Lucy and Chelsea.
Chelsea sneered again, "Look at her,
thinking she's a beautiful swan when she's nothing but an ugly duckling. She's totally clueless. Right, Miss Luna?"
Luna, who had been spoiled all her life, was shocked by such rudeness and was ready to slap Chelsea on the spot.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Just then, a man's hand caught Luna's wrist.
He squeezed tightly, and Luna dropped her hand. The man warned, "Miss, you're about to intentionally hit someone. You could end up in trouble for that."
Luna felt a sting from his grip and rubbed her sore, red wrist.
Dragging Timothy with her, she hissed a warning, "You'll regret this, Lucy!"
As Timothy was pulled away, he could not help but glance back at Lucy.
Lucy stood there in a white dress and a beige hat, her hair flowing. She looked so peaceful that Timothy could not take his eyes off her.
"They were awful, but I've got your back now. And thank you, sir, for stepping in!" Chelsea beamed at the man who had intervened. Charlie, in his glasses and black suit, was as tall as Matthew.
