The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: A Dog is Tamer and Cuter When Asking a Favor

"You’re in Grid City? Why?" Mrs. Anderson asked. She seemed to wonder what Lucy’s connection to this country was. Lucy hasn’t had the chance to tell her that she was born in the country of Arendale.

"I thought of changing the environment. Thankfully, there’s a job hiring for a painter so, I took it and flew here." Lucy resumed her task, mixing the colors on the palette. With this, Mrs. Anderson should give up now.

"Well, that’s too bad. My daughter will surely sulk if I don’t give her your painting."

"I’m really sorry, Mrs. Anderson." Lucy apologized. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now, since I still have some things to do."

"Alright!" Mrs. Anderson did not insist.

As soon as their call ended, Mrs. Anderson looked out the window and murmured, "Grid City, huh..."

Lucy finished a quarter of the wall. It was not an easy task, after all. She was working alone and the amount of work was even more this time. But this wasn’t the first time she drew on walls to decorate an entire room into a fantastic place.

The first time she did it was when she redecorated an empty room in the house for her daughter, Adeline.

At 11 am, Lucy cleaned up to go out and have her lunch. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Erica and Mark entering the building with sour expressions on their faces.

The moment their eyes fell on her, they changed instantly, and their steps accelerated. Lucy had no time to ignore them as they stepped right into her view and blocked her way.

"Was it you?" Erica glared at her.

Lucy gazed back at her with a raised brow, seemingly clueless about what she was talking about. Of course, that was a lie. She clearly knew why they were there. But isn’t it a bit too late for them to come in now?

Glancing down at her wristwatch, Lucy saw it was already 11:07 am.

They sure took their time to come here while looking like victims who needed justice.

"Whatever do you mean?" Lucy asked back, not intending to confirm or deny anything.

"Cut the bullshit, it’s you, right?!" Erica seethed in anger, her face and eyes were turning red.

"You have to be more elaborate if you want me to answer your question." Lucy smiled at her, much to Erica’s dislike. "I’m not going to answer ’yes’ or ’no’ to a question I could be accused of anything. What if you asked me if I killed your neighbor’s little sister’s pet?"

She knew this was only making things worse. But Lucy was having too much fun messing with Erica.

As expected, her response was only met with Erica’s intense glare. It almost looked like there would be a murder that was about to happen.

Had it been in the past, Lucy would hesitate and try not to get in trouble with anyone. She wouldn’t even dare get on someone’s radar to avoid trouble. Even when Emma and her friends belittled her and did a lot of horrible things to her, Lucy swallowed up her shame and pride.

But now that everything has changed, Lucy somehow could see the appeal of messing with people’s rhythm. No wonder they find it fun to mess with her.
