Chapter 156

“That’s right. She dared to be so unruly and openly insult you. Won’t she actually step on your head when she really gets popular later?”

“Yeah, in any case, you debuted many years before her and are considered her senior, so it’s really disgraceful for her to do this.”

Crystal gave them a look.

“Are you saying that you want me to deal with her?”

They hurriedly nodded together.

Crystal suddenly laughed coldly.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Young Master Foster is protecting her but you want me to cause trouble for her? Do you want me to completely offend Young Master Foster or destroy my career?”

The girls immediately turned pale at her words.

“Sister Crystal, t-that’s not what we meant.”

“You know exactly what you meant!”

She sneered. “I’ve been in this circle longer than all of you, so don’t think you can use that kind of indirect method to use me like a gun. You’re all still too young!”

Then, she scoffed at them and turned to leave.

...

Nell and Lucy were dragged by Joel to the outdoor garden.

“Phew— I finally escaped from those clutches. Thanks a lot, you two!”

Joel would not stop bowing to them, making Nell and Lucy laugh.

“Well, they all say that the great Young Master Foster has the best luck with the ladies and the flowers blooming around you are like little leek seedlings, popping up one after another. From what I’ve seen today, it seems the rumors are true.”

Joel smiled wryly and rubbed his head. “Little sister-in-law, stop teasing me. It’s not like I wanted this. I sacrificed beauty for business. How dedicated is that? You even make fun of me instead of comforting me.”

Nell rolled her eyes.

“Yes, yes, you sacrificed beauty for business? You clearly like to frolic but instead of picking up flowers, you end up with your boy smelling like mud instead.”

Ever since the last time Gideon introduced her to Joel Foster and the others, Nell had kept in touch with them.

Simon Wilburn had set up a WeChat group with all of them and dragged her in it too.

They all chatted occasionally in their free time, so they were no longer strangers now.

Joel was not angry at her teasing and laughed instead.

His gaze fell on Lucy behind her.

He stroked his chin and smiled. “Little Lucy, it’s been a long time. You look quite good today. You give off a cold but beautiful feeling.”

He even sized her up appreciatively while speaking.

However, Lucy looked away coldly.

“Young Master Foster, don’t shoot sparks at me. I’m insulated.”

Joel. “...”

With god as his witness, since when did he shoot sparks at her? He was just praising her!

Nell could not help but snort in laughter.

“So, you two know each other? I thought that you two weren’t familiar before but it seems like you’re closer than I thought!”

Lucy looked a little uncomfortable at Joel.

After a pause, she explained, “We were classmates a long time ago and played together when we were kids.”

Nell was slightly surprised.

As far as she knew, Lucy’s family was not wealthy and only considered middle-class at most while Joel was the only son of the Foster family in the capital.

One grew up in the capital and the other grew up in Jincheng. It stood to reason that their paths would not have crossed when they were kids.

However, Nell did not ask much.

After all, it was their privacy. Since Lucy did not want to say anything, it was clear that she did not want others to know.

Just then, Gareth Leith came over to find Nell to let her greet and get acquainted with a few big names in the film industry, so she followed him and left.

As soon as she left, Lucy also stepped forward to leave.

However, she was held back by Joel.

“Hey, wait.”

Lucy looked back and raised her eyebrows.

Her icy beauty was truly slightly imposing, causing Joel to feel embarrassed.

He did not know when he had offended her but he felt that she had not looked happy ever since he appeared at the door.

He had even defended her earlier.

What a heartless little thing!

Joel gave her a friendly smile. “Well, it’s been a long time. Let’s have a drink together.”

Lucy quirked her lips in a sneering manner.

“Aren’t you afraid that your girlfriends will get jealous?”

Joel choked.

He said, exasperated, “They’re not my girlfriends.”

“That so? They’ll get jealous regardless and I don’t want to get myself in trouble.”

Then, she casually waved goodbye at him and walked away.

Her figure was very confident and unrestrained.

For the first time in Joel’s life, he was rejected. Furthermore, it was in such an impolite manner.

He immediately grew so angry his chest hurt.

Sure enough, he was right to call her heartless.

She did not want to drink with him? Too bad! He insisted!

Lucy discovered that a certain someone suddenly decided to be a parasite today who stuck to her, following her wherever she went.

She had originally wanted to keep a low profile. She would go through the motions, promote the new play, and then leave after completing the mission.

However, how could she finish her mission when he was following her like this?

Everyone knew that in the entertainment circle, Joel Foster was basically a magnet. Wherever he went, the media went as well and the eyes of those female celebrities followed.

It was as if each one of them could not wait to just pounce on him.

When they found out that he was following Lucy, their eyes turned into knives stabbing her.

Lucy felt some pain from all the knives stabbing in her back.

After finally promoting the drama with a few interviews from several media outlets, Lucy quickly prepared to bolt.

However, at this moment, a figure came running over.

Lucy was unaware and was hit, and her petite body fell to the ground.

“Ah, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”

The person who hit her was a waiter with a bottle of wine in his hands. He hurriedly put down the bottle and came forward to help her up.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 155 Encountering Joel Foster Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Lucy gritted her teeth in pain. Fortunately, this place was close to the entrance where there were relatively fewer people, so even if someone heard the noise and looked over, it did not attract too much attention.

She quickly got up. The waiter picked up her handbag and kept apologizing.

“Miss, are you alright? I-I really didn’t mean to. I’m so sorry.”

The waiter was dying of anxiety. Lucy rubbed her sore arm and forced a smile.

“It’s fine. Just be more careful next time.”

“Of course, I will. Please don’t lodge a complaint about me.”

Lucy looked at his anxious expression. It was most likely because it was too busy tonight and they were short-handed, so the waiter had been in a hurry.

Lucy used to work as a waitress in a bar for a summer job in the past, so she knew that this line of work was not easy. Since she was mostly fine, she did not say anything more and waved her hand.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lodge a complaint. You can go back to work.”

“Thank you. Thank you.”

The waiter expressed his gratitude and turned to leave.
