Chapter 8
Five yearster, on a road in the heart of City X.
"Mr. Johnson, there seems to be a car ident ahead. I guess we''ll be stuck for some time."
While the driver spoke, he cast a nce at the man who was reading through some documents on his
laptop through the rearview mirror.
As the years passed, the man looked more mature and tough. His eyshes were long and lush, but
his temperament had grown more frigid and arrogant.
Arthur pinched his forehead and looked out of the window—
A ck Audi sped by.
The car looked very ordinary, but the window was down, revealing a woman''s exquisite side profile.
One look was enough to make Arthur tense up.
The woman was very beautiful. Arthur had only gotten one quick nce, but he could see her red hair
blowing in the wind and her pursed red lips that looked like rose petals.
Beautiful women were everywhere, no matter the flirtatious type or the innocent type. However, that
woman looked so familiar that Arthur lost hisposure.
"Turn around and follow that car!"
Arthur spoke very fast, as if he was afraid he would miss something.
The car was already a ck speck in the distance, making Arthur feel more anxious.
Lucy! That was Lucy Morgan!
Five yearster, on a road in the heart of City X.
"Mr. Johnson, there seems to be a car ident ahead. I guess we''ll be stuck for some time."
He was bursting with joy. He had to get a hold of her!
"Huh?" The driver was confused. " Was Arthur actually cancelling a meeting that could earn him
millions just to chase after an Audi?
"Turn the car around!" Arthur growled.
The driver jumped with fear and stepped on the gas.
...
Ten minutester, the Audi slowly came to a stop near a high-end restaurant.
Following the clicking sound of high heels and a pleasant ring of a bell, the restaurant''s door was pulled
open. A few men widened their eyes at once.
The woman, who was wearing a smooth dress that
ented her beautiful figure and a pair of transparent five-inch heels, twined a lock of her curly red hair
and sat down opposite a decent-looking man.
Lucy smiled. "Sorry I''mte."
The man opposite her was about forty years old. He looked at his wristwatch from time to time,
evidently impatient. He was frowning.
"It''s okay. What would you like to drink?" The man pretended to be a gentleman, but he couldn''t stop
himself from eyeing Lucy''s chest.
Right then, a waiter came over, and Lucy tapped her finger lightly in a casual manner.
"Get me a ss of Agremur nc. I haven''t eaten anything on the way, so I''ll have one of this and
this."
Thot restouront chorged reolly high prices, but Lucy didn''t check the price ond ordered o few things.
The mon''s expression dorkened.
After the woiter wrote her order down, he osked the mon, "Sir, whot would you like?"
"I''ll hove o cup of coffee." The mon glonced ot the menu while frowning deeply.
Lucy wos indeed very beoutiful, but she spent too lovishly. There were so mony other restouronts out
there, but she just hod to choose o ploce where o single bottle of wine cost more thon o thousond
dollors.
Lucy wos undeniobly gorgeous, ond she ron her ownpony independently, so she hod mony
pursuers.
In thot doy ond oge, there weren''t mony women with such good looks ond weolth. Although she wos
olreody 28 yeors old ond couldn''t be considered very young, she hod her ownpony.
''When I pursue her ino sess, won''t I get her ond her money ot the some time?''
At thot thought, the mon held bock ond did notploin.
Lucy twirled her long hoir cosuolly ond soid with o smile, "Mr. Adkins, whot did you osk me out to
discuss?"
The mon took o deep breoth ond burst out confidently, "Lucy, I wont to propose to you. Morry me!"
That restaurant charged really high prices, but Lucy didn''t check the price and ordered a few things.
The man''s expression darkened.
After the waiter wrote her order down, he asked the man, "Sir, what would you like?"
"I''ll have a cup of coffee." The man nced at the menu while frowning deeply.
Lucy was indeed very beautiful, but she spent toovishly. There were so many other restaurants out
there, but she just had to choose a ce where a single bottle of wine cost more than a thousand
dors.
Lucy was undeniably gorgeous, and she ran her ownpany independently, so she had many
pursuers.
In that day and age, there weren''t many women with such good looks and wealth. Although she was
already 28 years old and couldn''t be considered very young, she had her ownpany.
''When I pursue her ina sess, won''t I get her and her money at the same time?''
At that thought, the man held back and did notin.

Lucy twirled her long hair casually and said with a smile, "Mr. Adkins, what did you ask me out to
discuss?"
The man took a deep breath and burst out confidently, "Lucy, I want to propose to you. Marry me!"
