Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Staying overnight at the Villa (1)
Regarding the wound, Carolline explained it to Lucy again using their usual consistent excuse for outsiders. Lucy believed it but couldn’t help shaking her head in pity for Carolline’s bad luck.
Bryan Hawkins glanced at the scar on Carolline’s neck. The doctor had said it would leave a scar, and it seed to be true. Seeing this scar, Bryan hated Matilda Ferguson even more.
This woman had the audacity to co to him to plead for rcy. Asking her to pay 5 million in compensation was the least punishnt – not letting her go to jail was already being lenient.
Because Carolline and her friends unexpectedly joined the dinner, the original purpose of the gathering was put aside, turning the event into a casual al between friends.
After dinner, Andy received a call from Emily Hill asking where they were and when they would be coming ho.
Andy asked Carolline for her opinion. Carolline looked across the table at Bryan Hawkins but didn’t receive any eye contact from him. She told Andy they would be leaving soon.
Andy relayed this to Emily on the phone. Carolline and Andy both stood up, preparing to leave, their synchronized actions showcasing their close relationship.
Even Bryan Hawkins felt a touch of disbelief at the coordination. However, Carolline and Andy remained oblivious. Carolline said, “We should get going now.”
“Leaving just like that? I haven’t gotten an autograph yet.” gan Clifton pouted. She thought she could get Lucy’s signature or even take a photo after dinner.
She never expected Carolline and Andy to know Lucy, having been friends since childhood.
“Isn’t your cousin also a celebrity?” Andy rolled his eyes. He was referring to Matilda Ferguson but couldn’t rember her na, only knowing she was gan’s cousin.
“Can you not bring that up? It’s totally ruined my mood.” gan Clifton was furious. Matilda Ferguson’s scandal was a huge embarrassnt, and the Clifton family wanted nothing to do with the Fergusons anymore.
The entire Ferguson family were opportunistic, only interested in their own gains, which left a bad taste in gan’s mouth.
So ti ago, her aunt had co to their house asking for money. Her father couldn’t stand it, but her mother was softhearted and secretly gave so money to her aunt. gan herself decided to turn a blind eye to the matter.
After all, her mother wasn’t foolish enough to give away all the money.
gan huffed and left without a word. The only people she was familiar with in the room were Carolline and Andy, so there was no need to say goodbye to anyone else.
“Well, we are leaving now, sorry for any inconvenience caused.” Andy said with so embarrassnt to Bryan Hawkins and Jordy Wade before following gan out.
Carolline followed them but was stopped by Lucy, “Are you guys really leaving?”
Her eyes glanced unintentionally at the unresponsive Bryan Hawkins. Carolline smiled, “Yes, you guys continue talking.”
Lucy reluctantly let her go. As she sat back down, Lucy glared at the unresponsive Bryan Hawkins, “You’re just going to let her leave like that?”
Joyce Lopez was confused by Lucy’s strange behavior. Were Bryan and her friend that close?
“Shall we find a place and continue our discussion, Ms. Lucy?” Without acknowledging Lucy’s question, Bryan turned his attention to Jordy Wade.
“Hey, I wanna ask…” Lucy tried to inquire if there was a disagreent between the two, but Jordy stopped her, “Celia, please separate your personal and professional matters. We do not have ti to waste.”
“…” Lucy pouted. Every ti her big brother spoke to her so seriously, she knew she couldn’t continue being willful. For so reason, she might be fearless to the world, but she was no match for her own big brother.
