Chapter 97
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, you may leave."
The man left the CEO's office, and Matthew concentrated on his work again.
Unlike what he said, Lucy did not seem like she was going home after leaving Leon Corporation. She drove aimlessly on the highway while her mind was in chaos.
The appearance of Matthew's mother was like a wake-up call for her. She seemed to be too dependent on Matthew. If anything happened to her, she would have to depend on Matthew and get him to solve everything for her.
How could she ever deserve Matthew? How could she take everything Matthew gave her for granted? When did she develop such a mentality? It seemed like ever since Matthew showed an interest in her, every other woman was basically invisible to him.
Even her best friend, Chelsea, was only given a shred of respect by Matthew because she was her friend.
Since then, she had been taking advantage of Matthew's affection, asking him for whatever she wanted. Even if she did not ask him for something, Matthew would take notice of her wants and provide her with everything she desired, completely spoiling her.
How could she let that happen? If this continued, Matthew would get tired of her one day.
Once he did, a rich man like him could just divorce her without needing her signature. He could simply just toss the divorce papers at the marriage registration office.
When the time came, she would not even know that she had been dumped.
The more Lucy thought about it, the more distressed she became.
She could not help but drive faster. Soon, she reached the upper-speed limit. Only after that did she gradually slow down.
No matter how stressed she was, she could not drive recklessly. What if something bad happened? With that in mind, Lucy started to calm down.
She focused on driving and

Then, she realized that she had driven to unfamiliar territory. Uh-oh. What was she going to do?
Lucy was panicking after seeing that she had no idea where she was, so she quickly drove off the highway.
She came to the parking lot of a shopping mall and got out of the car. She took her phone out to check the navigation. What a hassle! How could she drive to a place she was unfamiliar with?
She had been busy overthinking about what happened. If Matthew found out, she would be in big trouble.
While still in her thoughts, a hesitant voice sounded from beside her. "Were you the one with Matty today?" Lucy looked up.
Could she get any more unlucky than
to this? She had just said goodbye
but
person a few minutes ago, e she was again.
On the other hand, Gabriella was very excited.
"It really is you. I thought I was mistaken. Well, I just so happened to have something I want to talk to you about.
"There's a nice café in this mall, so let's go there."
She turned and walked straight ahead, her voice sounding assertive.
She did not even give Lucy the chance to turn her down! Feeling uneasy, Lucy gulped hard.
Since Matthew's mother had made up her mind, she took small, hesitant steps and followed Gabriella.
