    Lucy was honest and foresightful. She would never allow her personal grievances to escte publicly. Matthew admired this quality about her because personal conflicts would only cloud judgment and lead to irreversible consequences.


    If Charlotte did not know to back down now, the repercussions would be unimaginable.


    The photo session and the passing of the golden hairpin came to an end. There was some free time before the ball, and Lucy stuck close to Matthew. "Matt, I''m feeling a little tired. The heels are really ufortable."


    The heels Matt had chosen were rtively high. Despite Lucy''sck of experience wearing heels to work, she had been wearing them for quite a while today.

    Seeing her silently endure the pain, Matthew quietly led her to the VIP area.


    The VIP area was a special banquet hall in the royal pce reserved for prominent figures in society, including businessmen and celebrities.


    As soon as Lucy sat down, she spotted another female singer she recognized. She was engaged in a conversation with someone. Lucy wanted to approach her for an autograph, but she was stopped by Matthew.


    "Wifey, didn''t you say your feet hurt? Why are you thinking of getting an autograph from someone else now?"


    "Well, what am I supposed to do? Everyone gets excited when they meet their idol. I finally get to see her, and if I don''t get an autograph today, who knows when I''ll get the chance to see her again?"


    Matthew grumbled inwardly, ''Oh, Lulu. Don''t you know who your husband is? Getting an autograph doesn''t require much effort at all.''


    Lucy still wanted to get up, but Matthew held her back.


    “Lulu, let me go get the autograph for you. Just sit here and don''t move.”


    Matthew felt sorry for Lucy, so he instructed the maid to fetch a bottle of massage oil for Lucy so that she could massage her feet.


    "I''ll go get the autograph, so you stay put right here and don''t go anywhere, okay?"

    As soon as she opened the lid of the oil brought by the maid, a strong, pungent scent assaulted her senses.

    began to massage her feet, but the effects were not immediate. When she touched her feet, she realized that they were slightly swollen and red. Even a slight touch would make her feel sharp pain.


    “Ouch... I didn''t think it would hurt this much. I''m never wearing heels again.”


    Meanwhile, Matthew approached the female singer and said politely, "Hello, I''m Matthew Leon from Leon Corporation." "Leon Corporation? Mr. Leon?"


    The female singer''s tone was as husky as her singing voice, but it was surprisingly charming and pleasant to the ears.
