Chapter 166
After Lucy boarded the ne, he never expected to meet someone he knew.
"Maddox?!" She was full of shock and embarrassment. She bought a random ticket and found that he
was sitting next to her. The world was so small!
Maddox was also surprised to see her. "Are you also going to Knicks?"
"En." Lucy ced his arm on his seat and said with a smile, "Maddox, let me go in first. I''m going to die
of exhaustion."
Time was running too fast. When she applied for a temporary identity card, she always ran away.
Maddox stood up and let her in. After that, he sat down again and looked around.
"Is Maddox Brother waiting for someone?" She couldn''t help but feel guilty and didn''t know how to face
Maddox Brother when she thought of Arthur, who was targeting Maddox Brother.
"No." Maddox withdrew his gaze. "You''re the only one? Didn''t Mr. Johnsone over?"
"I''m alone," Lucy said. Then, the two of them entered a state of silence.
After a while, Maddox said, "Knicks is not a tourist attraction, and there are no scenic spots. Why do
you want to go to Knicks?"
"I haven''t been there. I want to go and take a look. What about you? Why did you go to Knicks?" Lucy
asked.
Maddox smiled. "There''s a branch over there. I''ll stay there for a few months."
Lucy suddenly regretted asking this question. Knicks was at most a small third-tier city. If Maddox was
sent there, it was obvious that he had been tricked... and killed her.
She looked down at her fingertips, feeling so guilty that she couldn''t breathe.
"Mr. Johnson is Mr. Johnson, and you are you. You don''t have to feel guilty." Maddox stretched out his
hand and wanted to touch her hair, but he took it back.
Lucy didn''t notice his movements and was in low spirits. "This is the second time you''ve been
implicated by me."
She had told Arthur so many times that she had no ambiguous rtionship with him, but Arthur didn''t
believe it at all!
"It''s not a big deal. After all, I really like you." There was a gentle ripple in Maddox''s eyes.
Lucy admitted that her emotional intelligence wasn''t low, but in this situation, she really didn''t know
what to say.
[Deardies and gentlemen, I''m sorry to inform you that due to the weather, the ne will take off half
an hourter. Please forgive me for the inconvenience I brought to you. On behalf of the southern
airport staff, I sincerely express my gratitude to you.]
Then he repeated it in English.
The male voice of the radio was very pleasant, but no one appreciated it—
"It''s because of the uracy of the southern flight that I bought your family''s ticket!"
"The sun is shining brightly. What''s wrong with the weather?"
"I made an appointment with my partners to sign the contract, but your partners werete. Who will
compensate for my loss?"
The stewardesses were busy dealing with the passengers'' questions.
After being interrupted like this, Lucy no longer felt so awkward. "Will it affect Maddox''s work if I''m half
an hourte?"
He never mentioned that Maddox liked her.
"No, there are not many jobs over there." Seeing that she had avoided the topic just now, a trace of
bitterness shed across Maddox''s eyes. However, he did not bring up that kind of embarrassing topic
again.
Lucy felt that this time''s dy was inexplicable, but he didn''t think too much about it. His mind was full
of how to get Caden out, how to live in Knicks, and where to go abroad.
It wasn''t until she heard the word "handsome" that she raised her head out of curiosity. Her face turned
pale.
Arthur stood at the entrance with a few bodyguards. His sinister eyes were locked on her and his
Maddox, like a beast ready to attack at any time.
He finally understood why the ne was sote. Lucy tightly gripped his school bag, unable to figure
out why Arthur''s movements were so fast!
Looking at her and Maddox, Arthur''s anger and jealousy grew like a balloon. In the end, he exploded
with a loud bang, causing a sharp pain in his heart.
He walked up to her step by step and stared at her from head to toe. "Let''s go home."
It was impossible for him to let her go, let alone let her leave with another man!
"I don''t want to go back." Lucy sat there without moving. She didn''t want to go back and pester him
anymore.
Thest of Arthur''s tensed thoughts was broken by these words. He grabbed her hand through
Maddox.
"She said she didn''t want to go back. Didn''t you hear her?" Maddox stopped his wrist, stood up, and
stood in front of Lucy.
Arthur stared at him and suddenly punched him in the face!
He had disliked Maddox for a long time!
Lucy''s heart skipped a beat. He quickly stood up and said, "Maddox, how are you?"
Before he could finish his words, Maddox wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and punched
Arthur in the face. "You don''t deserve to be with Lucy at all!"
"President!" Seeing Arthur being beaten, the assistant rushed up with several bodyguards.
"Stand still." Arthur took off his suit jacket and threw it on the ground. He unbuttoned his two shirt
buttons and said, "Maddox, let''s do it together today."
It didn''t matter who they were, the two of them were the only ones to fight!
"Arthur, what are you doing?" Lucy stood up, angered to the point where his chest rose and fell greatly.
She didn''t have any ambiguous rtionship with his Maddox, yet he insisted on grabbing him and not
letting go?
There was a cold look in Arthur''s eyes. This was the third time that she had protected Maddox in front
of him!
"Lucy, sit down." Maddox ced his hand on her shoulder, indicating that she should be at ease.
Some of them were watching the show. They held their mobile phones and recorded the video,
apanied by exnations such as "Two menpete for one woman".
The bodyguards brought by Arthur came forward and asked the person who recorded the video to
hand over the mobile phone and delete the video. If someone didn''t cooperate, they smashed the
person''s mobile phone without saying a word. When the others saw it, they all obediently deleted the
video.
"Maddox!" Lucy fiddled with his hair irritably, revealing his bright and clean forehead. "Why are you
following Arthur around?"
Maddox just smiled and took off his suit jacket like Arthur.
They fought without any warm-up. It was no exaggeration that their fists hit each other. It seemed that
they had umted the anger of several lives.
Lucy was so angry that he had a headache. He shouted, "Both of you, stop!"
Both of them acted as if they didn''t hear it. They hit each other hard on the face and body. They only
attacked and didn''t defend. After a while, they both turned red.
Lucy took a deep breath. His entire body was shaking from anger.
Let''s fight, let''s all fight!
She''s leaving!
"Excuse me, please!" Lucy took his schoolbag, pushed the crowd away, and walked out. She really
didn''t want to see this chaotic scene at all!
Seeing that she had left, Arthur kicked Maddox''s belly. He pushed the crowd aside and chased after
Lucy.
Maddox got up and wanted to go after Lucy, but the assistant stopped him. "Mr. Pate, if you still think of
yourself as a member of the Pate family, you should think more about the Pate family. Don''t hang out
with your wife anymore."
"...Yes." Thinking of his father kneeling on the ground in the vicissitudes of life, Maddox looked at the
exit of the cabin, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
In his life, there was not only love, but also family affection and responsibility. Not to mention that Lucy
had never agreed to be with him.

But even though he knew this, he still couldn''t help but want to get close to Lucy and be with her!
