Chapter 520

Meanwhile, Lucy had stopped crying and calmed down.

What Joel did earlier had scared her.

Whenever she thought of him, she felt pain and fear in her heart.

Mace looked at her and somewhat understood how she felt.

He sighed and switched the subject.

“Don’t worry, everything’s fine. But why didn’t you call me when something happened to you? Lucky for you, I know you’ve been admitted to the hospital or else, I can’t imagine how you’ll turn out.”

Although he felt bad for Lucy, Mace still wanted to get his opinion off his chest so that Lucy did not feel so upset.

Lucy held her cup and kept her head lowered. She remained silent.

Mace knew she wanted to have some peace and quiet. Thus, he stopped talking and went outside to find the doctor.

At the same time.

After Joel had left the hospital, his mind was filled with scenes of Lucy lying in Mace’s arms.

He drove on the wide and spacious road.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened and his injured veins popped.

Anger and disappointment ate away at him.

Why did she keep pushing him away even though it was evident that she loved him?

Moreover, they had already developed that sort of relationship early on. Why did she reject him again?

The more Joel ruminated, the less he understood Lucy.

He became more furious.

Joel had no idea how long he had been driving aimlessly. He scanned his surroundings and noticed a bar.

It was the same bar he had often patronized whenever he was in a bad mood.

Joel shook his head. He did not expect that his subconscious would lead him here.

He parked his car by the road and headed inside.

Normally, he would go to the bar that belonged to his company. Therefore, he had forgotten when he had last visited this place.

Coincidentally, he was feeling frustrated, so he decided to get a drink.

“Hey, what wind brings you here?”

Nevile Lewis was a successful young man in the capital city. Widely known as Young Master Lewis, he was handsome and dissolute.

He used to be close to Joel. Later, they became estranged as Nevile had to tend to the family business.

Nevile was different from other trust fund babies. Joel was aware that the people who tried to get close to him were commonly opportunists who wanted to ride on the Fosters’ and his coattails.

On the contrary, Nevile did not care about such matters at all.

The Lewis family also had a rather prominent presence in the capital. Apart from the Four Great Clans, the Lewis family was considered an elite family with a long history.

Right now, Nevile was standing at the entrance to the bar. He was surprised to see Joel and called him.

“You’re here too?”

Joel glanced at Nevile and asked him wanly.

“Haha, I’m known as the Prince of Nightclubs, so my presence in this bar is expected.”

Nevile raised an eyebrow as he replied.

Then, the two of them found a spot to sit down.

“Why the glum face? Some girl broke up with you?”

The only thing that could bring Joel to a bar at this hour was his foul mood.

Moreover, as Joel’s good friend, Nevile was aware of the former’s relationship with Lucy Katz.

Joel brandished his Long Island iced tea and nodded.

There was nothing unusual about the drink’s name, but it had a high alcohol content. Just like Lucy, it caught people by surprise.

“Ah, I must say, you’ve got so many qualities and are an eligible bachelor. Why do you want to brood over this particular woman?”

Nevile placed a hand on Joel’s shoulder.

“You won’t get it.”

Joel kept sipping on his drink and heaved a long sigh.

“Sigh, I can’t believe that you’d torment yourself over this issue! There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why pine over one woman?”

Nevile had always been a playboy. If he could not get a girl, he would just forget about her. He simply did not get why Joel was so obsessed with Lucy and became heartbroken over her.

“She’s different.”

To Joel, Lucy was indeed different from other women.

“What’s so different about her? Isn’t she still a woman after all? She’s just an artiste under you and your company has plenty of them!”

Nevil could not wrap his head around the reason for Joel’s attachment toward Lucy, but he was unhappy to see his friend’s mood being spoiled because of a woman.

“Drink.”

Joel refused to talk about it anymore. He came here to drink to temporarily forget about Lucy and to wash away his sorrows with alcohol.

“Fine, fine, drink as much as you want. I shall accompany you tonight and we won’t go home until we get drunk.”

Nevile wanted to head home earlier and retire to bed. Since he bumped into Joel who badly wanted to drink, he decided to accompany his friend.

“Nevile?”

Suddenly, someone tapped on Nevile’s shoulder.

Spoiled by the President “Jada Swanson?”

Nevile was drinking and chatting with Joel when someone called him, so he turned around.

He was astonished to see the woman next to him.

He had never expected to meet two acquaintances this evening.

“You’re here too, Joel?”

Jada leaned over and noticed Joel who was sitting beside Nevile. She was caught off guard.

Usually, Joel did not visit such places, so it was rare to see him here.

Joel looked up but did not say anything when he saw Jada.

“How long do you plan to spend time here?”

It was through pure chance that she met these two here. Jada wanted to have a proper conversation with them.

She was also aware of the reason for Joel’s unhappiness.

Furthermore...

When she recalled what occurred this morning, she sensed a hint of glee.

“Mm, come sit down and have a drink. Joel’s in a bad mood today and the company of a beautiful girl like you will probably cheer him up.”

Nevile pulled out the chair beside him as he spoke, gesturing at Jada to take a seat.

“If you say so, I shall comply.”

Following that, Jada took her glass of liquor and sat down next to Nevile.

They were aware that Joel did not like other women sitting beside him, including Jada. Thus, she took a hint and did not sit next to him.
