Chapter 138
Ruby, who was sitting opposite Max, felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She could not wait
to run out the next moment.
Mr. Wei told her that Mr. Johnson liked Elyse very much, but she didn''t feel Mr. Johnson''s love for her
at all. She felt like she was being stared at by a hungry beast, scared and nervous!
She picked up the cup and wanted to take a sip of coffee to ease her nerves, but when she picked up
the cup, her hands were shaking.
"Why didn''t you die?" After seeing her, Arthur was even more certain that he no longer had any feelings
for Elyse!
"Crash!"
The cup fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. The coffee spilled on Ruby''s clothes, the floor, and
the table.
Ruby stood up and looked at the coffee stains on her body. Her face turned red and white from time to
time, and she could not say a word for a long time.
She had been a good student since she was a child. Recently, she had just graduated from college and
was working at the headquarters of the Johnson family. She... she had never done such a lie!
She... she was scared!
"Are you very nervous?" Arthur''s gaze shifted from the coffee cup to her, and his ck eyes were filled
with inquiry and suspicion. Others might be afraid of him, but Elyse had never been afraid of him!
Max also had some doubts. Miss Maynard was obviously dead, but she suddenly came back to life and
was so afraid of the president. Could it be a fake one?
"...Yes, I''m afraid of you!" Ruby was still very afraid, but when she thought of the surgery fee that her
grandmother needed, all of her courage was forced out. "I had a car ident at the age of sixteen, and
then I lost my memory. I don''t remember who you are at all. You keep a cold face all day, of course I''m
afraid of you!"
There was nothing wrong with this logic.
Arthur vaguely remembered where he had heard the words of losing memory at the age of sixteen, but
he didn''t think too much about it.
Elyse had lost her memory, so of course she wouldn''te looking for him. There was no need to ask
this question anymore. Furthermore, she had lost her memory. Their rtionship had officiallye to
an end.
He stood up with ease and was about to look for Lucy to tell her that he hadpletely let go of Elyse.
"Arthur...!" Ruby was anxious when she saw that he was about to leave. If he really left, her
grandmother''s operation fee would be gone!
Arthur''s body suddenly stopped. His pupils contracted and his breathing became a little heavier.
He didn''t know how many times he had dreamed of Elyse calling him '' Arthur'', but when he heard her
call him '' Arthur'', the joy he had once thought of didn''t show up. All that was left in his heart was a
heavy feeling!
"Do you know me?" He turned around and said word by word very slowly.
Ruby''s scalp was numb under his gaze, but she still pretended to be affectionate. "Ever since I saw you
a few days ago, I dreamed of you every day. Later, I asked Grandma and she told me that you are my
lover."
Arthur''s hands were sped together, and his entire body was tense together.
He was sure that he didn''t have any feelings for the current Elyse, but she had once lived in his heart...
His mind was in a mess.
"I still can''t remember what we looked like when we got along with each other, but since I saw you a
few days ago, I dreamed of you every night. And after I saw you, I would jump excitedly." Ruby touched
her heart.
Afraid that she would make a mistake, Mr. Wei prepared a lot of lines for her and asked her to adapt at
will. Today, the lines came in handy.
In fact, what she hated most was the mistress. But now, for the sake of her grandmother, she had no
choice but to sacrifice Ms. Morgan, whom she had never met before!
Hearing this,Max sighed many times in his heart.
The president had been with the president''s wife. It would be good if Miss Maynard hadpletely lost
her memory, but the point was that Miss Maynard seemed to have remembered some president... s,
it was troublesome!
Ruby lowered her gaze in order not to reveal too much of her emotions. "I wanted to look for you, but
Grandma doesn''t agree. She said that you''re already married to Ms. Morgan and she won''t allow me to
get involved in your rtionship."
She looked up at him with a painful expression. "I also want to give up, but when I see you today, I... I
really can''t forget you! Zhe, Ms. Morgan is just my substitute. You still love me, right?"
She was extremely d that she had stayed in the society for a period of time. Otherwise, she would
not have been able toplete this performance!
Arthur had no expression on his face, but his heart was already full of mixed feelings.
He could refuse anyone calmly, but Elyse was different. He thought that she was dead, so he went to
find Lucy. At the end of the day, he was still sorry for Elyse!
However, he was now in love with Lucy and had no feelings for Elyse at all. He couldn''t be with her
again!
Gulp—
Gulp—
Suddenly, the phone vibrated. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
"President, here''s your call." The assistant respectfully handed over the phone.
Arthur picked up his phone. When he saw the iing call, a hint of gentleness shed across his
eyes. "What''s wrong?"
"Where are you now?" Lucy''s voice sounded no different from usual.
Arthur looked in the direction of Zhou Ruosi and frowned. "I''m at thepany."
He never wanted to lie, but he was afraid that Lucy''s misunderstanding would worsen their dangerous
rtionship.
...
"Oh, I''m fine. I''m hanging up." Lucy covered his stomach and hung up the phone with a pale face. The
pain in his heart was even more intense than the pain in his stomach.
She stood at the door of the pharmacy and looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman standing
side by side in the opposite cafe, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Having a regr meal for five years in a row made her stomach getting worse and worse. She had only
lost one lunch, which triggered stomach problems.
She was just here to buy some medicine, yet she was able to bump into Arthur''s appointment with
Elyse. She wasn''t lucky at all!
Arthur had repeatedly promised her that she would be the only Mrs. Johnson, but what was the scene
she saw?
If there was no ghost in his heart, why would he lie to her?
"Miss, please step aside," said the guest in the pharmacy.
Lucy moved out of the way with the medicine and slowly walked over to her Audi. This time, her
stomach disease was extremely severe. She was in so much pain that she wanted to directlyy on the
ground.
She opened the stomach medicine, took out a bottle of water from the car, and took some medicine
ording to the amount. But the medicine couldn''t work in a short time, so she couldn''t drive back to
thepany!
Lucy took out his phone and wanted to find someone to pick her up. However, Kh was injured and
she didn''t want to look for Arthur. In that instant, she realized that she couldn''t find anyone to help her!
"What a poor girl." Sheughed at herself and dialed thepany staff''s number, asking him toe
over to pick her up.
She sat in the car and began to think about her life.
She didn''t have any memories before she was sixteen. From the age of sixteen to twenty, she spent
every day with her family beating and scolding her.
From the age of twenty to twenty-three, she married Arthur and became a well-known substitute. Every
day, she smiled and faced Arthur''s sarcasm, hoping that he would fall in love with her.
From the age of twenty-three to twenty-five, she started a business, continued to work, and then she
had the currentpany.
In fact, there were no family members or Arthur in the past five years. On the contrary, it was the
happiest five years of her life.
When she was tired from work, she would often encounter other people''s difficulties. But it was better
than being beaten and scolded, being treated as a substitute!
