When it came to mocking words with a smiling face mask, Lucy didn't back down. "Your words really think too highly of me. Grandpa has seen so many people and has sharp eyes. I can't lie to him. He must have treated me so well because I am a good person in nature!"

As soon as her grandfather left, her mother-in-law couldn't wait to find fault with her. It seemed that her mother-in-law really hated her!

"Ha!" Mrs. Johnson sneered. "Lucy, let's get straight to the point. Don't talk nonsense! What are you going to do to leave Caden?"

"Your words are interesting. Haven't you been playing tricks all the time? As for leaving Arthur, I remember that I have made it very clear last time. I have never intended to leave him." Lucy's delicate facial features had a smile hanging on them, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"You have a glib tongue!" Mr. Byrd commented with a frown.

Mrs. Johnson sneered, opened her bag, wrote down a string of numbers on the check, and handed it to Lucy. "80 million. It's enough to buy your two companies! If you think it's not enough, I can add more!"

In her opinion, the reason why Lucy didn't leave her son wasn't because he loved her deeply, but because he didn't have enough chips!

"I've always wanted to know why you think that money can make me leave Arthur? Do you think that your son is not charming enough? Is it impossible for me to have true love for him?" Lucy just glanced at the check and did not take it.

She could never understand the thoughts of rich people like her mother-in-law. They seemed to think that as long as they had money, they could buy anything!

"True love? If you really loved Caden, how could you climb into his bed by drugging him just to ask for a million? How could you bear to let Caden feel so much pain that he didn't even look at him for five years? Moreover, if you really loved him, why didn't you give birth to a child for eight years?" Mrs. Johnson was very resentful to Lucy.

Back then, Caden wanted to stay single for Elyse for the rest of his life. Luckily, Lucy had appeared and she had the hope of having a grandson!

However, Lucy's belly didn't move after three years of marriage, and then she pretended to be dead for five years. There was no news of her. Moreover, Caden was determined not to be with other women, and her hope of having grandchildren was gone!

She did not think that there was anything wrong with Lucy's or Caden's body. After all, they had been examined before they got married. There was nothing wrong with them! That could only mean that Lucy did not want to give birth to a child for Caden!

"First of all, not only Arthur was drugged, but I was also drugged. It was my father who asked for a million, not me. I explained it to you that year, but you obviously didn't believe it."


"Secondly, I had a bad relationship with Arthur five years ago. I did intend to divorce him, so I didn't contact him after the plane was off duty."

"In the end, Arthur and I have been married for three years. Because he misunderstood the drug, he has never wanted me to have his child. This time, when we are together, we will seriously consider the child."

Lucy never liked to explain to others, because those who trusted her would always trust her, and those who didn't trust her. Even if she explained it, it would only be regarded as an excuse.

But she really wanted to live with Arthur, and she didn't want to have such a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. As for the existence of Caden, she didn't want her mother-in-law to know.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Johnson handed the check to Lucy again, and her eyes were full of disdain. "You take 80 million dollars first, and then I will ask someone to transfer 20 million dollars to you! If you don't take it now, I will let you leave Caden without a penny!"

"In the past, I didn't have a good relationship with Caden, but now, I have a good relationship with him?"

He was trying to coax her like a fool!

"Ha!" Lucy was so angry that he laughed. "Since you insist on giving me money, it's not appropriate for me not to accept it."

She stretched out her slender and beautiful fingers and took the check from Mrs. Johnson's hand with a straight face.

Seeing this, the contempt in his father's eyes deepened.

His daughter did have a bad temper. Although she was ill, she was absolutely sincere to Caden!

So what if it was chosen by Caden?

Wasn't it because he had picked a woman who was eyeing upon money and had a pretty face?

"Just leave as soon as you get the money. Our family can't afford a guest like you." Mrs. Johnson put the bag aside and began to drive him away.

Lucy shook the check in his hands and even kissed it. His smile was exceptionally brilliant as he said, "Thank you for the check. Most people won't be able to earn that much money in their entire lives! Then... goodbye?"

"It's best to never see her! Leo, see her out!" Mrs. Johnson felt ashamed for her when she saw her bowing! Fortunately, such a person was no longer her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she really couldn't afford to lose face!

The old butler walked up to Lucy and said, "Young Madam, please."

Mrs. Johnson was furious at the title of "Young Madam", but she didn't dare to say anything because it was the Old Master's order.

"Okay." Lucy threw a meaningful smile at Mrs. Johnson and followed the old butler out of the door.

Mrs. Johnson was uncomfortable by her smile, so she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Lucy went out of the Johnson family's home in her own car. Under the gaze of the old butler, she got into her Audi.

Fortunately, she drove her car here today. Otherwise, there would be no taxi in this rich district, and there would be no one to send her to the Johnson family. She had to go a long way.
