Chapter 187
Matthew patted Lucy's head adoringly. "Let's go home."
He nodded at Whitney after that. "We'll be heading home first. Have fun. Feel free to enjoy the rest of the evening." Matthew brushed past Whitney after that, and she trembled with anger.
Whitney was furious. Matthew was ignoring her because of that vixen. He used to put Whitney first in everything.
Was that woman's name Lucy Quinn? Whitney decided to show her one day.
Lucy had no idea that Whitney was cooking up schemes against her. She felt a chill.
"Don't you like Whitney, wifey?
Lucy was unprepared for Matthew to ask this question.
She was shocked. Lucy looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on as her eyes widened at Matthew. She blurted out, "How did you know?" He had no idea how to react to her question. It turned out his guess was true.
"Your attitude toward Whitney was so obvious. My wife has always been a polite person and won't dislike someone for no reason. Can you tell me why you don't like her?"
Lucy was silent for a while, but she truthfully told Matthew about how she felt. "It just baffles me that Ms. Collins would throw me a gleeful look one second and turn grim the next. Why would I like her when she doesn't like me?"
Matthew did not know what to reply to this childish reason. He had no idea Lucy had this side to her. He shook his head in exasperation. "Alright. It's fine that you don't like her. You won't be interacting much with Whitney anyway. Just do as you like."
Lucy nodded happily. She was
worried that Matthew would be unhappy with her because of this. After all, he seemed like he was close to Whitney, but it seemed that Lucy was more important than Whitney was to him.
She reveled in this feeling but was later reminded of something. Lucy looked at Matthew seriously and said, "I need to tell you something, Matthew."
He looked taken aback.
"About the envelope that was auctioned last on stage, I find the pattern and insignia very familiar. Do Charleston's businesses have their insignia printed on their products?"
Matthew looked serious as well when he heard Lucy's question. "No, they don't."
He shook his head. "Even though
Charleston's businesses are
legitimate companies, they're still a country, after all. They would never use the country's logo and national insignias anywhere else. Those are considered private to them.
"Why did you find them familiar if it's the first time you're seeing them, wifey?"
Lucy felt a little lost. She had no idea why as well.
She hesitated as she said, “I just feel like I've seen them before. It feels like I spent nearly every day with that pattern and insignia once upon a time.”
Matthew's expression turned cold.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Charleston might be a proud
country, but their branding was very strong. However, that was not an
ordinary insignia. Why did Lucy find
it familiar?
He had a feeling there was something going on at the thought of his wife's background.
Matthew patted Lucy's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll look into anything involving you. I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong."
He felt a little troubled at the reminder of the envelope during the auction.
"I would've bid on that envelope if you had told me about this sooner."
