Chapter 492
Spoiled by the President
This provocation could not be more obvious.
Mace Smithâs expression suddenly turned dark.
He shouted, âJoel Foster, what do you mean by this?!â
Joel shrugged and said, âIt means whatever you think it means.â
Lucy Katz could smell the gunpowder igniting between the two and secretly cursed.
âWhat is Joel doing?â
She did not think too much and quickly wedged herself between both men and laughed superficially.
âSecond Young Master Joel, you certainly know how to crack a joke. Mace and I are already engaged. What show are you talking about? Mace, you should know that Second Young Master Foster was just teasing you. How could you take it so seriously?â
Lucy distinctively drew a line between who was close and distant.
Maceâs complexion improved drastically.
He smiled and stroked Lucyâs head, âLucy, youâre right. I took it too seriously. Second Young Master Foster, allow me to apologize for my earlier behavior.â
Joelâs eyes immediately turned a thick dark color, like the sky before a thunderstorm.
He ground his teeth and seethed, âLucy Katz!â
His heart was burning with anger and jealousy. He felt like he was going insane.
Lucyâs heart shrunk. She was still a little afraid of him.
This was not the time for them to mess around.
Lucyâs voice turned cold and she even changed the way she addressed him.
âPresident Foster, weâre not that close.â
Since she changed the way she addressed him, the ruthlessness at the bottom of Joelâs heart was instantly aggravated.
âHa! Not close? Are you sure? That day...â
Joel paused.
He felt like he was going crazy.
Yes. He had to be out of his mind, else why would he bring that up at this time? She had previously forbidden him from saying it out loud.
As he imagined, Lucyâs pretty face suddenly blackened and her voice became sharper.
âI donât know what President Foster is referring to. If seeing me makes President Foster upset, please let me know. From now on, letâs just go our separate ways. Why would you joke about this?â
Lucyâs words were a clear warning that if he dared to speak another word of this, she would cut off all ties with him.
âThis was enough.â
âAt least this proved that something went on between them and they were not at all strangers like she mentioned earlier.â
Joel laughed bitterly deep down inside. Lucy Katz, was he under her spell? Why else would he waste his time on her?
Too bad no one could answer him.
This included Lucy Katz.
Joel quickly regained his composure. He lazily lifted his eyes and scoffed, âMs. Katz, you know Iâm just messing around. Why are you getting mad?â
Lucy instantly felt relieved.
He still had a touch of sanity.
As long as Joel did not insist on bringing her down, they could still salvage the situation.
Lucy looked up at him, smiled politely, and replied, âPlease forgive me for being so impulsive, Second Young Master Foster.â
She then grabbed Mace and pulled him towards the entrance of the party.
Joel tried to suppress his agony and could only stare longingly at Lucyâs back as she walked away from him.
âLucy. Lu...â
He said softly in his heart.
At this moment, a woman hugged him from behind and asked, âJoel, what are you doing?â
Joel turned around and did not have the time to hide the sadness in his eyes.
He quickly turned away and replied, âJada, youâre here.â
Jada Swanson smiled tenderly and nodded her head.
âYup. I wonder whatâs the new topic of this yearâs party.â
It was her third time attending this event.
Jada was considered an experienced senior in the industry as she debuted as a child actress.
She pretended to glance in the direction of Joelâs gaze and her heart sank.
âLucy Katz? Why would Joel look at her? Could she be the woman that was in his heart?â
âHow was this possible?! Sheâs not worthy of him!â
Being one of Joelâs girlfriends, she was more senior ranking and had the highest position among his long list of exes. How could she not have known that he hid a person in his heart?
According to Joel, that person was his childhood sweetheart and his first love. It was someone he could only wish for.
Jada spent a lot of effort trying to pry into this womanâs identity but was never once successful.
Now that she thought about it, this was the first time she saw Joel look at a woman with such affection.
âThis Lucy Katz.â
Jada thought about Lucyâs back and could not help but feel bitterness in her heart.
âLucy Katz, how could she steal Joelâs heart and be his childhood sweetheart?â
âWhat a joke!â
One must know that Joel was an infamous playboy in the industry. Jada put in a lot of effort to just occupy a tiny space next to him.
âHow could a small Lucy Katz just easily get the position she had been putting so much effort into but still could not obtain?â
âHow could she!â
Once Jada thought about this, her heart could not help but feel a pang of jealousy.
The impression she had of Lucy also took a nosedive.
Since Lucy recklessly wanted to mess with the things that did not belong to her, Jada would just have to teach her a lesson on where she belonged!
Lucy Katz entered the party and with Maceâs introduction, she was acquainted with quite a few industry leaders.
It was a high-class party. Even if the industry leaders were moved by her beauty, they merely smiled and gave her a few compliments. None of them took advantage of her.
After a while, Lucy had gained numerous connections and resources.
Her standards were high and with Maceâs recommendation along with her previous experience, several industry leaders were willing to invest and collaborate with her.
During the break, Lucy held a cocktail and gently sipped the drink. She could not help but sigh.
âThis surely was the event of the year. If it was one of those small parties that she attended before, so many people would have hinted for her to exchange sex for resources.â
When she thought about this, a hint of frustration flashed across her eyes.
Lucy was very resistant to those types of resources. Due to this, she had offended countless investors and lost innumerable resources.
âCould she finally break out of this deadlock?â
Thinking about this, Lucy let out a long sigh and the weariness in her heart dissipated.
In reality, her development lately had been weak.
Lucyâs development recently reached a bottleneck. Moreover, she did not want anything to do with those shady resources, so over the past few months, she was in a daze.
Now, when she thought about the upcoming high-quality projects that awaited her, she felt elated.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Mace returned after talking with potential collaborators. He saw Lucyâs delighted expression and smiled while walking to her side.
âYour problemâs solved?â
Lucy gently nodded her head and replied, âYes, all thanks to you.â
Her smile was too cute and adorable that Mace held his breath and gulped.
âIf we werenât at the party, I would not have let you go this easily.â
Mace whispered into Lucyâs ear and quietly laughed.
Lucyâs ears turned red and she pushed him away shyly.
âStop it.â
Mace obliged and allowed himself to be pushed away by Lucy. He later added, âNow I really canât wait for our wedding night!â
