No matter how absurd Melanie’s words were, they went in one of Lucy’s ears and out the other.
After talking for a long time, Melanie still had not gotten to the point as she was waiting for Lucy to respond.
Lucy refused to speak first, but she did not want to waste any more time either. She had already spotted Matthew leaning against the kitchen doorway, patiently waiting for her.
She interrupted Melanie, “Mom, get to the point. Do you want me to beg him?”
Melanie said matter–of–factly, “Of course. That’s your brother–in–law’s company. How are you so thoughtless, Lulu? We’re family, so we should get along with each other.
“Not only that, but we have to help each other out too. How could you ask Mr. Leon to cut off the investment and blacklist his company?”
After beating about the bush for so long, Melanie just wanted to say that it was Lucy’s fault. Lucy felt a surge of anger rising within her. Her mother could not get any more shameless than this.
It was a pity that she failed to see her mother’s true colors after so many years of living at home before this. It made her sick to her stomach.
Thinking about the person on the other end of the phone made Lucy feel nauseous. She did not have the energy to argue with her anymore, so she said coldly, “I didn’t ask Matt to withdraw his investment.
“If you want to blame someone, blame Timothy He was the one who
offended Matt. What you’re asking for is an insult to Matt’s dignity. He’ll never agree to it.”
Melanie was practically screaming at this point. “Lucy! What do you! mean by that? Both your sister and brother–in–law have told me that it was because of you that he withdrew his investment, yet you still have the audacity to lie to me.
“Go talk to Mr. Leon and have him retract his decision.”
Not wanting to hear Melanie’s screeching anymore, Lucy sneered and hung up.

On the other hand, Melanie was losing her mind. Luna, who was sitting across from her, looked at Melanie pitifully and said, “Mom, what did Lucy say?”
Melanie’s anger calmed down when she looked at her beautiful and well–behaved daughter. She comforted her, saying, “It’s okay. I’ll deal with your sister, so you can just sit back and wait.”
Luna lowered her gaze and said softly, “It’s my fault for making her angry. Lucy isn’t usually this stubborn. I’ll just go apologize to her.”
“The audacity she has! This is her fault, Nana. Why do you have to apologize?” Melanie’s face was livid.
“She’s bullying you because you’re too kind. Just you wait, I’ll take care of that bitch for you.”
Luna was secretly happy, though she did not show it on her face. With teary eyes, she said, “Mom, don’t blame Lucy. You’ll ruin her reputation if you go to her like that. Let me talk to her.”
Melanie waved her hand indifferently. “Lucy is my daughter. I raised her. What’s wrong with a mother visiting her daughter? How would that damage her reputation? Nana, you just stay home
and wait. I’ll handle it.”

Luna silently nodded on the couch. “Thank you, Mom. I’ll tell Timothy what happened.”
Melanie patted Luna’s hand and looked at her lovingly. “What are you thanking your mother for? All I want is for you and Timothy to be happy.”
Like a spoiled child, Luna said, “You’re the best, Mom!”
