Chapter 591

“Didn’t you say to give you a portion first? That’s the only bank card I have on me, so that’s all you get.”

Old Fourth Cecil smiled smarmily. “Don’t you still have a check for twenty million? You can give that...”

Before he could finish speaking, Lucy grabbed her bag and took another step back, and even quickly reached for the kitchen knife she had placed on the counter earlier.

With a wary posture, she held the knife in front of her and looked at him coldly.

“Dream on. You can be cautious of me but I can be cautious of you too. If I give you the twenty million and you don’t show up tomorrow, wouldn’t that be a loss for me?”

The words made Old Fourth choke.

It had to be said that that was exactly what he had in mind.

If he could not get the fifty million, he might as well take the twenty million first.

Anyway, as long as he did not divorce that d*mned woman, this little girl would always be at his mercy.

He had never expected that his thoughts would be mercilessly revealed by Lucy.

Old Fourth was embarrassed and furious.

However, there was no other way.

In the end, his courage was limited and he did not dare to do anything to Lucy here. Otherwise, he would not be able to get away if Lucy called for security.

Therefore, he could only pick up the bank card and said disdainfully, “Fine, fine. Two hundred thousand it is. I’ll come back for the rest tomorrow.”

Then, he finally left.

After Lucy saw him leave completely, she hurriedly ran over to shut the door.

Then, as if the strings holding up her body snapped, she leaned with her back against the door and weakly slid down.

The room was quiet again, but she was exhausted from dealing with Old Fourth.

She sat there and closed her eyes, and opened them again.

Then, she looked at the mobile phone she had been holding tightly in her hand. She stared at Joel’s number on the screen and hesitated for a long time but did not dial it in the end.

The next day.

Lucy got up early.

Perhaps it was because she had been frightened last night that she had not slept well all night.

Her head was filled with scenes of being beaten and scolded in various ways by Old Fourth when she was a child.

When she woke up, there were dark circles under her eyes. It was clear that she had a nightmare.

Helplessly, she could only cover up using makeup before she went out with her bag.

Lucy did not go anywhere else and drove directly to St. Petersburg Hospital.

At this time, Lucy’s mother was chatting with the nurses in the hospital.

The doctors and nurses here were much more superior both in terms of attitude and quality compared to the hospital she had stayed at before.

Although Lucy’s mother had suffered many hardships over the years, she was also born into a large family so she had many common topics with them.

As they were chatting, she saw Lucy walking in from the outside.

“Oh, Lulu, what are you doing here?”

Since Lucy had only been here two days ago, she thought that she would not come back again so soon.

It was very late when Lucy sent Old Fourth away last night.

In order not to disturb her mother’s rest, she did not call to tell her about it.

Moreover, she might not be able to explain this matter clearly over the phone, so her mother might be even more worried if she told her in advance.

Therefore, Lucy felt that it was better to wait until she came over to tell her directly.

Lucy looked at her mother and smiled. “I happen to be on leave today, so I came to see you.”

The nurse who was originally chatting with Lucy’s mother saw her come up and also stood up with a smile.

“Since Miss Katz is here, we’ll leave first.”

Lucy’s mom had been chatting with the nurses for a long time and also felt embarrassed.

She quickly said, “You’re busy with your work. Don’t let me bother you. I’m really sorry for making you stay here so long.”

The nurses laughed. “It’s okay, we’re not that busy anyway. You’re the only patient in the VIP ward on this floor, so we’re quite free.”

She did not know if the hospital’s business was bad or if Joel had deliberately arranged for it.

In any case, the only occupied ward on this floor was Lucy’s mother’s. The rest were all empty.

Lucy had a sneaking suspicion in her heart that it might be because of her identity. Joel did not want people to know that her mother was hospitalized here, so he had sealed off the floor to avoid leaking the news.

However, she did not think deeply about it.

After the nurses left, she sat down in a chair beside the bed and said, “Mom, I came here today to tell you something.”

Her mother was about to peel an apple for her when she heard her speak. “What is it?”

Lucy pursed her lips and steeled her nerves before saying, “Last night, Old Fourth Cecil promised to divorce you.”

Lucy’s mother gave a sudden shock.

The apple that she was peeling fell to the ground with a “thud”.

Lucy looked at the apple that had fallen, pursed her lips, and bent down to pick it up.

She got up, went to the washroom, washed the apple, then came back and continued to sit in the chair.

Then, she took the fruit knife from her mother’s hand and peeled the apple by herself.

As she peeled the apple, she said, “You’ve wished for this for so many years, so it’s good that he’s finally agreed to it now. We’ll be free of him in the future.”

Spoiled by the President Her mother’s fingertips trembled slightly as she stared at her motionlessly.

The already pale face had turned even whiter, without a trace of blood beneath it.

After a long time, she finally said shakily, “What conditions did he make?”

Lucy looked at her calmly.

She knew that she could not hide this from her mother.

After all, fifty million was not a small amount. She did not have that much money in her hands. To make a deal with Old Fourth, she would have to go elsewhere to get the money.

Therefore, her mother would know about this no matter what.

Thus, she did not conceal it and told her mother everything that had happened last night.

Her mother cried out in a sharp voice when she finished.

“No!”

Lucy hurriedly turned outside and saw that no one paid attention to them. Then, she quickly raised her hand to gently cover her mother’s mouth.

She whispered, “Mom, keep your voice down. We can’t make this matter known.”

Lucy’s mother finally reacted, obviously realizing that her voice had been too loud earlier. If this case was known by others, it would only bring trouble to Lucy.

She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth in fear.

After calming down, she looked at Lucy anxiously. “Lulu, you can’t agree to his request. It’s fifty million, not five million. Where are you going to find such a large sum of money? I can’t let you do this!”

Her mother was right. The money that Lucy earned over the years had either been extorted away by Old Fourth or had been used to treat her mother.

She did not have much money left at all.
