Chapter 561

After the song ended, Lucy was a little out of breath, so Joel led her to the rest area to sit down. He murmured, “Sit here for a while, I’m going to deal with some matters.”

Lucy nodded meekly.

All of this was witnessed by Jada Swanson, who was standing a distance away.

She also wore a lavender tulle ball gown tonight, as this was Joel’s favorite color.

Back when the two of them were still together, he would tell her that seeing her in this dress reminded him of wisteria flowers in full bloom. Elegant, proud, and breathtaking.

Although Jada Swanson did now know whether Joel Foster’s words were sincere or not, she was inclined to believe that it was true.

Indeed, before Joel got together with Lucy Katz, there were many other women around him.

However, most of those women lasted only briefly. Jada Swanson was the one who lasted the longest with him.

Therefore, the outside world believed that, no matter how much Joel Foster played around, Jada Swanson was his true match.

Moreover, Jada’s family background was not bad. Although they were not as prominent as the Four Great Clans, they were still somewhat renowned among the rich and famous in the capital.

As an acclaimed actress, she was of course beautiful, and in the past, she had always been very confident about her appearance.

Nevertheless, at this moment, as she watched another woman bask in the love and affection of that man, jealousy began to creep up her neck like an overgrown vine. She felt like she could not breathe.

Jada’s manager, Sister Elsa, had been standing behind her without her knowledge and she regarded Lucy Katz who was sitting in the rest area with a malicious gaze.

Elsa sneered, “The little vixen from the dumps is trying to climb into nobility. How dare she behave so arrogantly.”

Jada Swanson then turned to look at her. There was a reddish tinge in Jada’s stunning eyes. “Sister Elsa, do you think Young Master Foster truly does not want me anymore?”

“Of course not, both of you were together for so long. What's she to him compared to you? She's nothing but a court jester. Men, they might wander and fool around but in the end, they would always return to you.”

“But... I still feel uneasy.”

Jada Swanson shook her head and tears began to stream down her face. She was so upset that her body was trembling slightly, which made her appear very distraught.

“You don’t know this, but ever since that day, his attitude towards me has been very aloof. I have a feeling that he has completely erased me from his heart.”

Sister Elsa frowned and looked around to make sure that no one was paying them any attention. In a low voice, she whispered, “Didn’t you bribe Astrid Lindt to sabotage the filming set last time? Why did it fail? It even gave Young Master Foster the chance to play hero for that wench, that was an epic failure.”

Upon the mention of that incident, Jada Swanson bit her lip in hatred.

After a while, she replied, “Astrid Lindt is an incompetent fool. She was discovered by Young Master Foster. Fortunately, I paid her enough to keep her mouth shut, so she did not implicate me.”

After a while, Jada continued, “Regardless, I’m not going to give up so easily.”

Sister Elsa knew that there was nothing else she could say to change Jada’s mind. She gave her a piercing stare and asked, “What’s your plan?”

Jada Swanson shook her head. “I don’t know yet.”

Sister Else grinned. “I have a piece of information that I’ve just gotten wind of. Are you interested to find out?”

Jada Swanson’s head snapped up upon hearing the question. “What is it?”

Sister Elsa lowered her mouth to Jada’s ear and whispered something into her ear.

Jada’s face was immediately filled with astonishment, followed by frenzied excitement.

“You’re telling me the truth?”

Sister Elsa nodded. “Yup, one hundred percent true. When I first received the news, I also doubted its authenticity, so I sent people out to investigate.

It turns out that it’s true. Her adopted father is a gambler and even a drug addict. All the money she made over the years has been emptied out by her adopted father, and her mother has been hospitalized with heart disease. Most probably, the reason she is dating Young Master Foster is for his money.”

Jada Swanson was bouncing with joy at the news.

“All for the money... If it’s all about money, then it’s easy to handle.”

Sister Else nodded too. She glanced into the distance before she looked back and patted Jada on the shoulder.

“Now that I’ve passed you the information, what you want to do with it is up to you. If you can’t stand the sight of them, then you should head back first. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”

Jada Swanson nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

Lucy Katz waited for almost a whole hour. In between waiting, a man came to talk to her, and since she was feeling bored, she entertained the conversation.

Everyone who attended these types of functions was an experienced socialite. From the moment she danced with Joel Foster, all of them knew her identity. So when the man saw that she was laughing along with his jokes, he quickly said, “It is my pleasure to get to know Miss Katz today. If you have the opportunity, please speak kindly of me before Young Master Foster.”

During the conversation, a check appeared in his hands, and he passed it to her.

Lucy’s brilliant eyes flashed briefly. She smiled. “Mr. Hughes, you give me too much credit. Young Master Foster and I are just friends, I’m afraid I will not be able to help.”

The man named Hughes was an intelligent man. Upon receiving Lucy’s response, he did not insist. He took back the check and raised her glass towards her. “No problem, I’m still honored to be acquainted with a person as smart and beautiful as Miss Katz.”

Joel Foster returned just in time to witness this scene. Lucy was smiling charmingly, her beauty was crystal clear under the shimmering lights. Even though she was sitting in a deserted corner, she looked like she was glowing. In comparison to her, everyone else in the ballroom appeared lackluster.

He strode over and casually put his hand around her waist. Lucy Katz smiled at him. “You’re back.”

Her eyes lit up at him, and immediately, Joel could feel his heart thumping loudly, although he only let out a faint hum.

“Second Young Master Foster, my surname is Hughes. I have admired you for a long time. It’s an honor to meet you here.”

The man named Hughes introduced himself enthusiastically. Lucy slipped her hand into Joel’s elbow and told him, “Mr. Hughes is a very interesting man. I was bored while waiting for you, but fortunately, he accompanied me with some conversation.”

Joel dipped his head and saw a sly glint in his partner’s eyes.

His tone was gentle and brimming with affection.

Lucy was startled that her heart skipped a beat.

This man... Was he doing this on purpose?

She had to admit that although Joel Foster usually appeared playful, he looked like a different person altogether when he was serious.

Simply put, charismatic.

At this time, Joel Foster was striking up a conversation with Mr. Hughes before the two men clinked their glasses. Joel smiled and said, “Thank you for helping me look after Lu. If you have time, you can come by the Foster Consortium for a visit. We’re all friends now, no need to be shy.”

Mr. Hughes’ eyes twinkled in surprise and delight. “Thank you, Second Young Master Foster, I will definitely pay a visit.”

He knew that a man like Joel Foster would stand by his word. It would usually be impossible for someone of his status to associate with the Foster family, but with Joel Foster’s invitation, it would be much easier to enter the Foster Consortium.
