All Lucy had was the check for twenty million in her bag, the pay from the previous film, and the profits from the other two endorsements.
She originally wanted to save the money for use in case of an emergency in the future.
However, she finally got Old Fourth Cecil to agree, so she naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.
Thinking about this, Lucy sighed. She put the half-peeled apple aside and held her mother’s hand. “Mom, I know that you care for me and feel sorry about the money, but Old Fourth Cecil isn’t easy to deal with. The sooner you get divorced, the sooner we can live a stable life. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back asking for trouble. How can we live like that?”
Lucy was more worried about her mother than for herself.
Her mother was about to undergo surgery and there would be a long recuperation process then.
During that time, it was important to avoid getting angry. Lucy did not want anything to go wrong during this process.
Therefore, a timebomb like Old Fourth Cecil might jump out one day and give a fatal blow to the mother and daughter. If they could find a way to get rid of him, they naturally should do so earlier.
Lucy’s mother knew that her daughter was right.
However, as a parent, her daughter ended up having to bear so much because of her own mistakes.
Now, Lucy even had to take on tens of millions in debt just so she could get a smooth divorce.
No one would be able to accept that calmly.
Thinking of this, Lucy’s mother looked at her with incomparable pain and her eyes turned red.
She held onto her hand and said, “Lulu, listen to me. Don’t worry about mom. I know my own body best. I’m already a spent force. If he really wants to come to me, then let him. I’ll wait for him. Even if I have to die with him, I won’t let him lay a single hand on you.”
The last thing Lucy wanted to hear was these words.
Her expression immediately darkened as she said angrily, “Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean ‘even if you have to die with him’? How can you even think that?”
Lucy’s mom bowed her head and wiped her tears, and forced a smile. “I’m just saying. Ever since your father died, you’ve never had a good life since childhood. Now that things are finally getting better for you, I don’t want you to shoulder such a large debt for my sake.”
Lucy sighed again and said softly, “Mom, I can make money now. Trust me, I’ll earn fifty million back soon. Besides, no matter how important money is, you’re more important to me. As long as we can live happily together, so what if we don’t have any money in the future?”
Her mother looked at her, moved, but at the same time incredibly sorrowful.
Eventually, under Lucy’s unwavering gaze, she finally nodded.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Lucy saw that she had finally agreed and revealed a happy smile, relieved.
The two had just finished talking when her phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was from Nell.
Her eyes immediately brightened.
She quickly told her mother, “Mom, my boss is calling. I’m going out to take it.”
Her mother nodded quickly.
Lucy took her phone and went out.
“Hello, Sister Nelly.”
“Lucy, what are you up to?”
Nell’s gentle and clear voice sounded from the other side.
Lucy did not hide anything and said truthfully, “I’m at the hospital, seeing my mom.”
Nell smiled. “The matter I told you about previously, there’s a result.”
