Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 26

Lucia stared at Starry's car disappearing from her sight, her face looked pained.

With the help of the nightfall, no one could see her face clearly except Sophie.

Sophie was also angry at first. But Starry's words did scare her. Now it was of no use to be angry.

"Just calm down, Lulu. We can give her a lesson later."

An idea really emerged in Lucia's mind.

She nodded and started her car.

Sophie then remained silent as she thought Lucia was still in a bad mood.

What happened between Starry and Lucia was soon made known to Frances.

It was Martha who told her that. While listening, Frances frowned and said with hatred in her tone, "How did Lucia Scott's father educate her daughter? What a shameless bastard!"

These words had shown clearly that Frances didn't want Filip to get involved with Lucia anymore.

Martha was doing some foot massage for her while saying, "I remember Lucia's father brought back a girl a few years ago.

Martha had been a long-time servant of Frances. So, she naturally knew it was a delicate hint.

Frances snorted instantly, "Now I know why Lucia loves to play dirty. That might be a tradition in her family."

Filip came downstairs while they were talking.

Filip didn't like to spend his night at the Pearson residence. After he got married to Starry, seldom did he come back. Now as they had got divorced, Filip hadn't been to this house for more than two months.

Now it was already late so Filip might spend a night at the Pearson residence and he might even have breakfast with Frances tomorrow morning. Filip must still be caring about his grandma.

With that idea in mind, Martha felt quite happy for Frances, "Old lady, the young master is back."

Frances turned an eye upon Filip, "I remember you said you're busy with your work."

She didn't sound happy, but a faint sense of joy could be seen from her face.

Martha helped Frances dry her feet and then held the bucket towards the bathroom to leave the room for Frances and her grandson.

"Today is your birthday. I should spend some time with you no matter how busy I am."

Filip said gallantly and then sat beside his grandma.

Frances had a sip of coffee and asked, "I heard Starry's car crashed into Lucia's car?"

A sudden flicker of concern came into Filip's eyes, "It's just an accident."

Frances sneered, "But her car crashed into Lucia's car twice."

She halted for a second and continued before Filip could explain, "Starry didn't ask me to investigate on the gown issue. But she is no fool. It isn't the first time for Ms. Scott to play dirty on Starry, am I wrong?"

"I don't care about your relationship with Starry. But I don't like that Lucia to be either your friend or your lover. The choice is on you."

Then she put down the coffee cup in her hand and stood up. Then she went upstairs.

Filip walked over to her and said, "Let me help you get upstairs, grandma."

Frances looked at her grandson and didn't refuse his kindness.

The two didn't say anything along the way until they arrived at Frances' room. Filip let her hand go and said, "Sweet dream, grandma."
