Chapter 170
Peng!
"Crash!"
The moment the door was closed, the cup hit the door, and then it fell to the ground and broke into
several pieces.
Lucy was like a drowning person, desperately breathing in and out. Even though this was the case, she
still felt as if she was about to suffocate.
The corners of her eyes were a little sore, and her tears blurred her eyes in an instant. She looked up
and tried her best to force back her tears.
"What are you crying for? No one will feel sorry for you!"
The wind blew in through the window without ss. It was as cold as her heart.
...
Maddox did not go to Knicks. The boss of the branch office in City B called him and said that he did not
need to go on a business trip. Instead, he asked him to have a good rest for a while.
His little cousin secretly called him behind his family''s back. "Brother, Mr. Johnson hase to the
Pate family. He asked the Pate family to stop all your work and kick you out of the Pate family. If you
don''t do this, Mr. Johnson will destroy the Pate family!"
"Then have I been removed from the Pate family?" Maddox held his phone and looked at the crowd
coming and going. Suddenly, he did not know where his futurey.
"Not yet. Uncle asked Mr. Johnson to get along well with you. He will find evidence to prove that you
have no emotional affairs with Mrs. Johnson. Brother, do you really have... a rtionship with Mrs.
Johnson?" asked my cousin.
Maddox stopped in his tracks. His amber-colored eyes were filled with bitterness as he said, "If only it
was real. I like her, but she doesn''t like me. She didn''t give me any hope."
"That''s good." My cousin breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, don''t be stupid. Don''t be in contact with the
girl from the south anymore. You are the most powerful person in our generation. You can''t talk about
you because of a woman... My mother is here. Don''t talk about me anymore!"

I''m hanging up.
Maddox put away his phone. In the past, he was the pride of the Pate family. Everyone was supporting
him. However, ever since Mr. Johnson had attacked the Pate family group because of him, the
members of the Pate family had begun to stay away from him. What they had said behind his back was
even worse.
Beep, beep, beep—
The horn rang twice behind him.
Maddox walked a little to the side and made way for the car behind him.
"Mr. Pate, don''t go out on such a cold day. I''ll carry you for a while." Jenson rolled down the window,
revealing an evil and charming face.
Maddox''s expression was indifferent. "No need, thank you."
"What if I want to discuss Lucy with Mr. Pate?" Jenson was not angry and asked with a smile. He was
sure that Maddox would not let go of any news about Lucy!
Maddox frowned. He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "What are you trying to say?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It''s such a cold day. It''s better for us to have a drink and talk," Jenson
said casually. Then he stepped on the elerator and drove the car to the nearest milk tea shop.
The two of them walked in. Jenson and the waiter asked for two cups of red bean pudding milk tea.
"What''s wrong with Lucy?" Maddox admitted that he was not an impatient person. However, every time
he encountered Lucy, he could not control himself.
Jenson stirred the milk tea with a spoon, picked up a few red beans, and put them in his mouth. "This
restaurant is small, but it tastes good. Mr. Pate, have a try."
Maddox lowered his head and nced at the milk tea. He took two sips and said, "Can you tell me
now?"
Jenson had a good rtionship with Lizbeth, and Lizbeth and Lucy were sworn enemies. He didn''t
think that Jenson had anything good to do with him!
"Mr. Pate is really impatient." Maddox sighed and took out a stack of photos. "Let me remind you. The
things in the photos are a little dark. Don''t get too excited!"
Maddox snatched the photo away and flipped through it.
The first photo was Arthur kissing Lucy, and she struggled with tears streaming down her face.
The second photo was when Arthur forcefully carried Lucy away. She tried her best to bite his hand
and struggle.
The third photo was Lucy standing in the ward, holding a chair and crazily smashing it against the
window. Outside the window stood three bodyguards in ck.
Unlike the first three photos, the fourth one was taken by a roadside camera. In the car, Arthur pushed
Lucy away, and outside the car stood a woman who looked exactly like Lucy.
Every time he flipped through a photo, Maddox became even angrier. He grabbed the photo so hard
that it changed shape. He asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you prove that these photos were not
fake?"
"It''s very simple." Maddox raised his lips and threw a USB on the table. "This is an electronic one. You
can ask the professionals to check it out."
At this point, Maddox had already believed in these photos. He could no longer suppress the anger in
his heart. "How could you treat Lucy like this, Mr. Johnson?"
"Lucy is so good. Mr. Johnson didn''t cherish it five years ago, but he didn''t cherish it five years ago!"
"If Mr. Johnson really likes Lucy, of course he won''t treat her like this. As you can see, Mr. Johnson
pushed Lucy away in the car because he saw Elyse. From the beginning, Mr. Johnson regarded Lucy
as a substitute. He loves Elyse!" Jenson said word by word very slowly, particrly emphasized the
last sentence.
Maddox stood up and felt sorry for Lucy. "I''ll go to Mr. Johnson and ask him why he doesn''t like Lucy
and why he has to tie her up with him!"
Could it be that such a good woman like Lucy would have to live under the shadow of Elyse and be
forced by Mr. Johnson for the rest of her life?
He would not allow such a thing to happen!
"Of course it''s because of the child." Jenson stirred the milk tea slowly, not worried about him leaving at
all. "Caden is very smart and he also relies on Lucy. Arthur didn''t want the child to hate the Johnson
family, so he imprisoned Lucy at his side."
Maddox''s eyes were full of disbelief and anger. A person could be selfish enough to ruin others'' lives
for his own selfish desires!
"Mr. Johnson has already dyed Lucy for eight years. Do you still want to dy her for a few more
years?"
"In fact, even if Mr. Pate finds Mr. Johnson, it will be useless. Otherwise, you will have a chance to
work." Jenson half-closed his eyes. At the moment, the mole added a little evil charm to him. "I have a
way. I don''t know if Mr. Pate will cooperate."
...
In the Lindbarry Chateau.
"Ms. Morgan, you''re back too?" Ruby stood up from the sofa with a warm expression on her face.
"You''re in poor health. Would you like some fruit? I just washed some cherry. It''s sweet."
In order to learn the white lotus skill, she had watched a lot of idol dramas and practiced her acting
skills.
Lucy ignored her and looked at Aunty Julianne, who looked unhappy. "Why is she here?"
In the past, when she heard that Elyse was gentle, beautiful, generous, and virtuous, she would be
jealous and envious of her. But now, when she saw Elyse''s hypocritical face, she felt disgusted!
"Sir asked Miss Maynard to stay here." Aunty Julianne was so angry that she almost died. If it weren''t
for Sir and Mother bringing Elyse here in person and saying that it was Mr. Sheng''s order, she would
have driven Elyse out!
Her ex-girlfriend was her ex-girlfriend. How could she act like a master when she came to her ex-
girlfriend''s house, which was not a big deal!
Lucy''s face was ashen. Arthur was really something! He imprisoned her in Lindbarry Chateau and then
took Elyse from her. Was he trying to disgust her every day?
