Chapter 728 The Parvenu Lady
When Lucia was thinking it over, she suddenly heard a sharp female voice downstairs. It was so loud that Lucia and Daryl
could clearly hear it upstairs.
"Get out of my way! Where is Daryl? Such a bitch!"
Daryl, who was on the bed, uncontrollably trembled and turned pale when she heard the woman's voice.
Lucia held her hand tightly and comforted her in a soft voice, but she was unconsciously tense as well.
After a while, they gradually heard Dianna's nervous and anxious voice. It seemed that Dianna was walking toward them.
"Ms. Ximenez, I'm just an unimportant old maid. I can't help you with anything."
"Ok. Then Don't blame me for being rude to you, old woman!" The woman outside the door pushed open the door as she spoke. The woman suddenly cursed, "Daryl, you shameless b..."
Zoey Ximenez did not finish her words but looked up and down at Lucia, then she became angrier. "I can't believe it. Paul has two mistresses. Who the hell are you?"
She pointed to Lucia with her nails, covered with rhinestones.
"I am Daryl's friend. Who are you?" Lucia frowned and responded coldly.
Zoey rolled her eyes at Lucia arrogantly, but she thought it was not enough, and she could not help spitting at her. She
scolded scornfully, "Look at your bony face. You must be a bitch. You are probably someone else's mistress. You both are
all bitches who stole other women's husbands."
Hearing that, Lucia was not angry, but instead, happy. She looked at Zoey as if she was watching a clown. "I am not someone's mistress. I am August's legal wife. My husband is the CEO of Lion Group.'
"I don't care about the Lion group. I'm the young lady of Advanced Technology. You'd better be sensible and leave us alone. Mind your own business, or you will be in trouble." Zoey looked extremely arrogant.
Lucia sneered at Zoey.
She has heard about Advanced Technology. The chairman Mr. Ximenez found a good opportunity to do business abroad
that year. He worked hard to set up such a small company and became a nouveau riche.
However, they could no longer continue the foreign business. Advanced Technology was facing bankruptcy. Mr. Ximenez
could only return home to continue his business under the name of his company abroad. Lucia knew that because she
had searched the information about this company when she helped August to manage the business. Because Advanced Technology was considered too lightweight to cooperate with Lion Group, Lucia dismissed it at
random. She had never expected that she would hear this company again in this way.
Zoey was uneducated and incompetent. In addition, she just returned home and had no time to be involved in domestic
commercial circles. Therefore, it is normal that Zoey did not know Lion Group or Lucia.
Hearing Zoey's harsh words, Dianna became angrier. Looking at Lucia and Daryl, Dianna explained, "I'm so sorry, Ms.
Mitchell and young madam. I can't stop Ms. Ximenez..."
Slap!!!
Before Dianna finished, Zoey waved her arm and slapped Dianna on her face.
It was a hard slap. Dianna's face soon turned red and swollen, but Zoey didn't care. She shouted, "She is not your young
madam. I am your young madam. I am the one whom Paul wants to marry."
This slap seemed to remind Daryl of her memories. Her thin body began to tremble slightly. Lucia felt her change. She
looked at Dianna gloomily and said, "Slap her."
Dianna and Zoey were stunned at the same time.
"Ms. Mitchell, I can't do that."
"Who the hell you are? How dare you? If she slaps me, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Dianna and Zoey spoke at the same time.
Lucia patted the back of Daryl's hand, indicating that she should not be afraid. Then she got up and got close to Zoey st
by step. Lucia looked at Zoey frostily, which made Zoey scared. Zoey was used to being arrogant. It was the first time she
saw that, and she unconsciously stepped back.
"Dianna didn't dare to slap you, then it's my work..." With that, Lucia raised her arms and slapped Zoey's face.
Zoey glared at them with anger, covered half her face, and shouted angrily, "You bitch! You will regret what you did." With that, she pushed Dianna away and stepped up to run out of Daryl's room.
Looking down at her numb palm, Lucia gradually released her stress. Finally, she gave a long sigh of relief, looked at Dianna and said, "Daryl was in shock. Prepare some tea for her, and deal with your cheeks by the way."
Dianna looked at her gratefully, then walked out of the room. The room was calm again.
Daryl knew that Lucia was not as calm as she acted, and could not help sighing, "Why do you involve in it? I should be the
one who solves the problem with her."
"I can't just watch her bully you." Looking at Daryl, Lucia felt that she was dissatisfied with the way Daryl dealt with it. "You have a strong family background. You have the ability to compete with her. You don't have to suffer from it. What
on earth do you expect?"
"To say the least, I am not your substitute." Daryl looked at Lucia with her bright eyes, but her eyes were full of sadness
as well, and she said with a feeling of relief, "If you were the one on the bed here, Paul would not stand by." Lucia was stunned. Being suffocated, she didn't know what to say except apologies.
"It's not your fault. I am willing to suffer from it." Daryl also realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly
comforted Lucia.
There was a moment of embarrassment. Lucia did not know how to face Daryl, but Elijah's call broke the ice.
Daryl smiled with relief, "Go to work. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."
Lucia nodded and responded to her. After leaving Thomas's house, she called Elijah on the way back.
