Chapter 146
Lucy walked out of the courthouse without even glancing back at Luna. She was heading home and missed the sight of Luna's twisted face entirely. The cameras caught everything, though. The reporters were thrilled. They rushed back to their offices, eager to share the juicy story.
By the next morning, the tale of the Quinn sisters' courtroom clash was the talk of the town.
Luna saw her angry face on the news and felt a surge of fury. In a flash of rage, she threw her phone so hard it shattered. She frantically called her team, ordering them to pull the story from the headlines.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It was too late, however. The news had spread far and wide, and removing it would cost a fortune.
By the time Quinn Corporation's PR team got the news off the websites, it hardly mattered. Everyone had seen it, and the damage was done. People were buzzing with gossip about Luna's company.
The company's reputation plummeted, and investors pulled out, causing the share price to nosedive. The only thing keeping Lunar Arthouse afloat was the solid financial backing from Lucas Corporation.
Luna was in a panic, scrambling for a solution.
Lucy, on the other hand, felt a tangle of emotions when she heard about Luna's troubles.
Was she happy?
She should be, considering all the trouble Luna had caused her at the start.
Lucy could not find a speck of joy in her heart though-only a whisper of sadness, She let out a sigh and kept her eyes on the papers in her hands. Before she could even start, Matthew whisked them away.
Matthew frowned at Lucy. "We're home now. Why are you still working? You're always busy with work and never have time for me."
He pouted and whined, trying to get Lucy's attention.
Lucy could not help but smile and shake her head. "Didn't I tell you I want to grow my company? I have to work hard to make it happen. Only those who are ready will succeed."
She tried to explain gently as she reached for the papers Matthew held just out of reach.
"Matthew, please give them back. I'm not done with them yet."
He just got more upset and lifted the papers higher.
After making sure Lucy, who was quite short, could not get them, he finally looked down. He was feeling defeated. "I'm rich, you know. As the CEO of the top Leon Corporation, I don't need to worry about money.
"Lulu, I can take care of you forever even if you do nothing at home. Can't you just spend some time with me? Let's go on a vacation to Moscow, Hawaii, or anywhere you like."
Lucy sighed again. She loved the idea of a vacation, but then she remembered the disapproving look on Gabriella's face.
'Your mom doesn't think I'm good
enough for you. You say it's fine, but
I don't want to be trapped like a bird in a cage.' Lucy looked into
Matthew's eyes, keeping her thoughts to herself.
