As long as the paparazzi dug out any information, even if Lucy Katz did not say anything, her presence alone was enough for them to fabricate something out of the blue.
Lucy’s face turned cold as she thought about this. She ordered the driver, “Turn around, let’s go to Orchid Villa.”
The driver was familiar with the place, so he followed her orders and drove off.
20 minutes later, the car arrived at Orchid Villa.
Fortunately, no one knew about this place yet, so they were safe here for the time being.
Lucy and Carina got down from the car. Carina carried the bags and the two of them walked in. Suddenly, Lucy’s phone rang.
She saw the caller ID. It was her mother.
Lucy picked up without a second thought.
On the opposite end, she could hear Mama Katz’s gentle voice.
“Lu, are you home?”
Lucy had mentioned to her mother that the closing ceremony for the movie was yesterday and that she would be home a day later. That was why Mama Katz asked this.
Her cold face turned a bit more gentle and replied, “I’m home. Mom, how are you?”
Mama Katz laughed and said, “I’m very good. Even the doctor said that my body has healed quickly and I can be discharged after a while.”
With this sentence, Lucy’s tense mood loosened a little.
This was considered one of the best news she had heard during this period.
Lucy smiled and said, “That’s good. I’ll pick you up on the day you’re discharged.”
Mama Katz laughed and replied, “No no. You do your thing, I can go home by myself.”
Lucy looked at the villa in front of her and laughed lightly.
“Of course not. You don’t even know where I live. How can you come over by yourself?”
Mama Katz was stunned when she heard this.
“Isn’t your apartment on Fourth Avenue? How would I not know?”
When she mentioned this, Lucy could only sigh helplessly.
“We can’t stay there for the time being. I’m staying somewhere else. When you get discharged then I’ll bring you over.”
Mama Katz was shocked and asked in concern, “What happened? Why can’t you stay there?”
She was still unaware of the news online as she was recuperating from the surgery and did not go online during this period.
Moreover, she was an old lady and was not familiar with Weibo or the internet.
That was why she was still in the dark about the slander Lucy was facing.
This was a good thing for Lucy.
After all, if another person knew about this, it would just be an extra person who would be concerned about her.
It would not be of any help.
Lucy pressed her lips together and explained, “It’s nothing. I’ll explain it to you once you’re out of the hospital.”
Although Mama Katz was still concerned, she just nodded.
After they ended the call, Lucy brought Carina into the house.
No one was staying here at the moment.
Lucy asked Carina to go home after she dropped off the bags.
She then went up, took a shower, blew dry her hair, and scrolled through her phone.
Susan Reed had already sent over her schedule for the coming week.
Lucy roughly glanced through it and noticed she did not have many films lately.
On her schedule, she only had to go overseas for a photoshoot for a cosmetics endorsement 2 days later.
These 2 days would be her rest days.
Lucy thought for a bit and gave Joel Foster a call.
“What are you doing?”
