Chapter 589

However, she knew that no matter what Old Fourth Cecil was planning, it was not something good.

Therefore, there was no way she would agree for him to take care of her mother.

Thinking this way, Lucy refused without hesitation. “No need. She’s fine now and doesn’t need your care.”

The man’s expression immediately darkened at her words.

“Lulu, what are you saying? She’s still my wife! We’re not divorced yet and are still a legal couple. Of course I have the right to visit her when she’s sick.”

Lucy tilted her head and looked at him coldly.

Then, she sneered.

“Come on, you don’t have to act in front of me. Mom’s heath has been poor for so many years and she’s been hospitalized more than a handful of times. When have you ever cared?

“Now, knowing that she’s going to have surgery, you come scrambling and say you want to care for her? Old Fourth Cecil, what the hell is going on in your mind? Why don’t you just say it?

“That way, we can still talk about the price tag. If it’s not too much, I might be able to satisfy you, but if you want to see my mother, I’m sorry to say that you have less than a snowball’s chance in hell.”

At these words, Old Fourth Cecil’s face immediately changed.

He shot to his feet and glared at Lucy, and growled, “Lucy, don’t be cruel! She’s my wife. Who do you think you are to prevent me from visiting her? I’ll see her if I want to!”

Lucy also stood and sneered at him.

“Your wife? Have you done your duty as a husband over the years? Were you ever there for her when she was sick? When she was suffering?

“No. All you did for her was ridicule and abuse her endlessly. All you did was gamble away the money she’s managed to save time and time again. All you’ve ever given to her was sadness and disappointment. Now, what guts do you have to come here and say that you’re her husband?”

“Pa!”

As soon as the words fell, a heavy slap was thrown at Lucy’s face.

Old Fourth Cecil was so angry that he was shaking.

He glared at Lucy with eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to poke a few new holes into her body.

“Y-You’re outrageous! Your wings must have really hardened for you to dare talk to me like this. I swear I’ll...”

He was just about to raise his hand again.

At that moment, Lucy’s phone suddenly rang.

The abrupt ringing broke the tense atmosphere between the two people. Lucy hurriedly ran to the coffee table and pulled out her phone from her bag.

On the screen, the caller ID showed that it was Joel Foster.

All her grievances and fears seemed to suddenly collapse.

Her tears rolled down uncontrollable. She looked back at Old Fourth and then picked up the phone without hesitation.

“Hello.”

The moment she picked up the call, Old Fourth reached out and opened his mouth, as if trying to stop her.

However, he was too late.

Lucy connected the phone and even deliberately put it on speaker.

On the other hand, Joel’s gentle voice sounded.

“Lulu, are you sleeping?”

Lucy tried her best to tamp down her crying, biting her fist and trying to make her voice as normal as possible.

“Not yet. What’s up?”

“Oh, nothing.” On the other side, Joel’s voice was tinged with a smile, so gentle that it almost seemed to ooze out.

“I just missed you and wanted to hear your voice. It’s getting late now. You should rest early.”

Lucy forced a smile even though she knew he could not see it, and said, “Yeah, you too.”

“Good night.”

“Mmh, good night.”

After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at the confused Old Fourth.

Then, she raised the phone in her hand.

“What’s wrong? Do you still want to continue hitting me?”

The man’s expression shifted and his eyes burned with anger.

How could he forget the man’s voice on the phone? It was the same one who had his men beat him up at the bar last time in order to help Lucy.

Afterwards, he was unreconciled and sent someone to check the identity of that person.

However, he did not manage to find out anything.

Not only did this fail to reassure Old Fourth, it even made him more alert.

After all, he had lived for decades. Although he had always been a small punk, he had seen more of the world.

He knew that there were hidden dragons and tigers in this part of the capital. If he could not even find out information about the other party’s identity, that meant that he was most likely some kind of big shot.

Moreover, based on Lucy’s current status in the entertainment industry, it would be easy to come into contact with such a person.

Thinking like this, Old Fourth’s eyes went cold.

He sneered and looked at Lucy in disdain. “Who would’ve thought that you would manage to climb to such great heights. That makes sense. After all, although you weren’t born to me, I was the one who raised you. Now that you’re famous, it’s not a bad idea to find a rich man to marry. When the time comes, you can make him treat me well as a father-in-law.”

Lucy was so angry that she rolled her eyes at him.

Those days were full of beatings and abuse, and the number of times he brought money home in one year could be counted on one hand. More often than not, he took money from home to go out to gamble and drink. Now, he was saying that he raised her?

What a shameless thing to say!

Lucy did not want to bother with him anymore and drove him away.

“Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I’m going to call the police!”

Unexpectedly, Old Fourth was not afraid of her at all.

Not only did he not leave, he instead slumped on the couch and smiled infuriatingly. “Go ahead, call the police. Do it! Let everyone know that the big star Lucy Katz has a father like me. I want to see who will continue looking up to you in the entertainment industry.”

Lucy frowned.

Facing a scoundrel like Old Fourth Cecil, using the same methods to deal with normal people really would not work.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fire in her heart.

Then, she asked. “Fine, then you might as well cut to the chase. What do you want?”

Old Fourth Cecil did not speak. He raised his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger together.

Money!

Lucy almost laughed in anger.

Although she already guessed that this was his purpose in coming here, she still could not help but get angry when she actually saw him demand money again.

She thought about it instead of refusing him on the spot.

Instead, she stood up, went into her room, and brought out a check.

Old Fourth’s eyes lit up when he saw the check in her hand.

Oh my! Where did she hide it?

Why did he not manage to find it when he was here before?

Lucy stared at his greedy gaze vigilantly and did not rush to give him the check.
