The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Seeing Landon Across the Street

Lucy stepped out of the taxi, her gaze landing on the sleek exterior of the café that stood just across the skyscraper that is the Westwood Group building. The café was already filled with people who were having a peaceful time as they went about their day with coffees on their tables.

But she was here for coffee or the ambiance.

Lucy spotted Chelsea through the window. Already seated by the glass front, she was fidgeting with the handle of her cup.

Chelsea’s call came unexpectedly but was much welcomed. Lucy thought Chelsea would need more time to gather her thoughts and make a decision. After all, it made sense for her to question Lucy’s intentions and purpose in helping her.

Pushing open the door, a bell chimed softly above Lucy’s head. She took a long glance around the interior of the café, just like a normal customer looking for a vacant table or a companion, but in truth, she was searching for any signs of betrayal. What if Chelsea decided to run her down the bus? That would’ve been disastrous for the beginning of her revenge.

Chelsea got a great seat. It was right by the glass wall that allowed them to get the best view of the front of Westwood Group.

Lucy approached the table and saw the other woman looking up, a faint, almost guarded smile tugging at her lips.

"You’ve come," Chelsea said with a slight surprise. She thought Lucy wouldn’t meet her after thirty minutes passed from their scheduled meeting.

Lucy pulled the chair across from her and sat down. She raised a fine eyebrow and said, "You called me here. It would be rude not to after the last time we spoke in the parking lot."

Chelsea nodded deeply. She rubbed her hands, noticing how they had become sweaty after waiting for half an hour for Lucy to arrive.

Lucy stared at her. "I’m hoping you called me here because you’ve decided already."

Chelsea swallowed hard. She looked away and took a deep breath.

Then she turned to meet Lucy’s gaze.

"Are you really going to help me?"

"That’s what I said last time."

Chelsea bit her lips, feeling even more nervous now that this opportunity was in front of her.

She still wondered why Lucy was helping her. Why did she come to her? She was just an ordinary person who endured a lot of mistreatment from other people. But she was used to it because despite being treated like a slave, she still earned her money through her job.

Moreover, Chelsea even thought there would be no point in trying to defend herself or going up against people like Emma and her other two friends, who lived a different world from her, as it would only make her life even more miserable by offending them.

Until Lucy came to her.

That’s when she realized that she could no longer endure.

"I want them to taste the same humiliation I experienced." Chelsea’s eyes burned with determination.

Lucy could see Chelsea’s desire to get revenge. But sadly, it was not enough.

Determination alone won’t get Chelsea far. The moment she realized her path was blocked by a wall, the burning fire inside her would soon be extinguished.
