Chapter 126

In the royal blue sports car.

Jenson lay on the seat like a cat, lazy and charming. "Did you meet him just now?"

"Yes, he... he's so fierce. I'm a little scared, so I stopped a car and ran away." Ruby had never seensuch a good-looking man and such an expensive sports car. She clutched the hem of her clothesuneasily.

Jenson straightened up and looked a little unhappy. "What did we say before?"

"I... But I'm a little scared. I don't know what Miss Maynard looked like when she got along with Mr.Johnson. I'm afraid that Mr. Johnson will replace out that I'm fake." Ruby lowered her head and did notdare to look at Jenson.

She had always been an ordinary person. If it weren't for her face, she wouldn't have had little contactwith these rich and powerful families!

"What are you afraid of?" Jenson lay back down again, and his words were full of disdain. "As long asyou say that you are Elyse, even if the sky falls, Arthur will protect you!"

"But... but..." Ruby had been a good student with strict discipline since she was a child. Even a coughfrom the gangsters could scare her. She really didn't know how to do such a thing.

Jenson interrupted her impatiently. "Don't you want to save your grandma?"

"...Yes." All of Ruby's worries were dispelled by this question. "But I don't know the details of Miss

Maynard and Mr. Johnson getting along with each other. If Mr. Johnson asks, what should I do?"

Her grandmother was seriously ill and needed a million dollars for treatment, but she had no money.

As long as she could get one million dollars, Mr. Wei could ask her to do anything!

"You lost your memory after the car accident, so you can't remember anything. As long as you say thatwhen you are about to wear clothes, he won't doubt you." Jenson knew that she was timid, so headded, "If you break the contract, I can cut off your grandmother's treatment at any time."

"I... I know. But if you want me to play Miss Maynard, I can't play her for the rest of my life. You... whendo you think I can leave Mr. Johnson?" Ruby was a little afraid of him, so she hid away from him andkept a distance from him.

Jenson glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Even if you want to stay with Arthur for the rest of yourlife, you won't have that chance! As long as you successfully let Lucy break up with Arthur, you canleave!"

...

The plane landed in City B.

Lucy carried his bag out of the plane and left the airport. When he saw this city that had lived for fiveyears, he momentarily felt a bit absent-minded.

A few months later, she came back here again.

However, where should she go to replace Caden?

Gulp—

Gulp—

Lucy fished out his phone and picked up the call in a daze.

"Caden is here with me. You don't have to worry too much." Maddox's voice was as gentle as ever,which had the effect of comforting people's hearts.

"!" Lucy grabbed his phone tightly and asked anxiously, "Senior, where are you now? I'll be right there!"

...

Hanging up the phone, Lucy took a taxi.

When he saw the little fella's bashful expression, Lucy immediately hugged him, tears continuouslyflowing down his face.

First, her son ran away from home, and then Arthur left her alone for Sheng Wan. It was just a day, butshe fell from heaven to hell, as if she had been suffering in hell for a hundred years!

"Mommy, you hugged me too tightly. I feel uncomfortable." Caden struggled for a while, but failed tobreak free. Instead, she patted his back.

Hearing this, Lucy's strength was reduced a little, but he still hugged him tightly. "Caden, you scaredmommy to death!"

She was afraid that she would never see him again!

"I'm sorry, Mommy. I made you worry. I will never run away from home again." Caden patted her on theback and began to feel guilty. "You don't only have scum in your eyes, okay?"

"It's all that scumbag's fault for taking over my mommy. Otherwise, why would he run away fromhome?"

He wanted Maddox to be his step-father. He wanted Maddox to die of anger!

"It doesn't matter if you run away from home in the future. Remember to bring me along." Lucy huggedhim, his heart aching.

Her son had always been considerate of her, but she had ignored him over and over again for Arthur'ssake... She was too unqualified to be his mommy!

They hugged each other for a long time before letting go.

"Drink some water. Your throat is hoarse." Maddox poured two cups of hot water, one for Lucy and theother for the little fellow.

Caden did not drink water, but took some tissue and wiped Lucy's face. "The makeup is not beautiful."

"... I'm going to clean it up." Lucy stood up awkwardly and went to the bathroom.

She quietly looked at the woman in the mirror whose makeup had turned into panda eyes. Since whendid she begin to like heavy makeup?

In order to send her to Arthur's bed, her father asked someone to put on delicate makeup for her.

After that day, Arthur's constant sarcastic remarks made her unable to sleep well all night. Hercomplexion was not good, and the dark circles under her eyes had become normal. She was worriedthat it would affect his mood, so she chose to learn how to make up...

"It's been so long, what do you still want to do?" Lucy raised his head and forced down the bitterness inhis eyes. He tried his best to forget that lowly self.

She came in such a hurry that she didn't bring any makeup, only a small bottle of makeup removingwater. She removed her makeup and went out of the bathroom with a plain face.

When Maddox saw her plain face, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes. Different from thebeauty after makeup, her plain face was more inclined to be as beautiful as a lotus after the rain.

Although she was 28 years old and was already a mother of a four-year-old child, she had very goodskin and was more like a senior student.

"Without makeup is very ugly?" Seeing that he had been in a daze, Lucy covered his face. She had notseen anyone for a long time, so she felt a little guilty in her heart!

Maddox withdrew his gaze and said sincerely, "No, it's beautiful. It's just that after you remove yourmakeup, your temperament is very different from when you put on makeup."

"Kylah said the same thing." Due to Elyse, Lucy cared a lot about the words 'you have a differenttemperament'. He somewhat stiffly changed the topic. "Maddox, why are you in City B?"

If she remembered correctly, the headquarters of the Pate family was in City A, and the senior shouldalso be in City A.

"It's better to learn about the operation of the group's bottom level. You often sit in a high position andtalk about military affairs. There are loopholes in management." There was a trace of darkness inMaddox's eyes. He wanted to work harder.

Even if he didn't have the chance to become her other half, he had to have the strength to protect herwhen Arthur bullied her!

Lucy nodded. "Maddox is right. However, many people know this truth, but they can't do it. I reallyadmire you."

Which rich second generation was not afraid of hardship?

At the very least, she had seen rich second generations since she started her business. Regardless ofwhether they were rich playboys or shrewd ones, none of them had ever thought of loweringthemselves to the basic level.

"You've been a businessman for five years. It's really admirable that you've started from scratch so far!Even many men can't do that, let alone a woman like you," Maddox said with a smile.

Lucy forced a smile and didn't say anything.

During the three years of her marriage with Arthur, she revolved around him every day and had neverbeen in contact with society.

After leaving him, when she started her business, there were indeed a lot of sad things... But it was allin the past. She had to look forward!
