Chapter 99
"Madam, I can't accept your card." Lucy handed the black card back.
Gabriella stopped sipping her coffee and looked at Lucy. "Is the money not enough for you? What else can I do to make you leave my son?" Lucy's lips twitched.
Gosh!
Lucy felt even more like she was in a melodramatic romance movie.
All the previous thoughts she had in the car were completely swept away by Gabriella's actions.
Dumbfounded, Lucy looked at her. "Madam, you've misunderstood me. I've never wanted money."
Gabriella's expression was cold. "I guess you want power, then. What is it that you want? Just tell me and I'll make it happen."
Lucy held her forehead. What was she going to do?
Did this lady not understand human language? If she told her that Matthew and she were genuinely in love and that he was the only one she cared about, would that not be exactly like those cheesy romance movies? Why was this crazy plot happening to her?
She was literally caught in a do-or-die situation. Help! If Matthew was not as nice to her as he was and was just some random guy she picked up from the streets, she would have agreed in a heartbeat. She would have taken that card by now.
After spending so much time with Matthew recently, Lucy was slowly starting to develop feelings for him. Now, asking her to leave him was something she simply could not bring herself to do.
"Madam, I really do like him, so please don't insult me with money."
She said it!
She actually said that cheesy line!
She should not have argued with Matthew about this at the time because look at what was happening now.
Gabriella sipped her coffee and said, "I guess it's going to be harder than I thought. If you don't want the black card, then I'll take it back."
Huh? There seemed to be a change of plot.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
"Let's talk."
Gabriella put down her coffee cup and rested her chin on her palm. She stared at Lucy with her piercing gaze. "I'm sure you're fully aware that don't approve of you being my son's wife, right?"
Lucy nodded. Now that she had experienced a rich woman forcing her to leave her son alone by throwing money at her, Lucy did not want to experience it a second time!
She straightened her back and listened to Gabriella's words attentively. She knew that what Gabriella would say next was the main point.
The only thing she heard coming out of Gabriella's mouth was a series of shocking facts. "The flaws I pointed out just now are why I'm personally dissatisfied with you.
"I've gone through your information on the plane, and there are two reasons why you're not suited to be Matty's wife.
"Firstly, you have bad management skills, so you can't help Matty with his work at all.
"Secondly you're from completely
different social classes. Matty's company is the largest company in the world. Why are you reaching for the stars when you should be looking at yourself in the mirror?"
Lucy fell silent...
To be honest, she, too, did not know why Matthew liked her. As Matthew's mother said, there was nothing attractive about her.
Moreover, Lucy had never intended to reach for the stars in the first place. It was the star that came to her.
However, Matthew seemed more like a meteorite...
He filled her head with stars.
