Lucy lowered her head and pressed her lips thin.
Seeing her reaction, Jenna was worried that Edward would get angry, so she nudged Lucy.
"Your father is talking to you."
Just when Lucy was about to say something, Elaine suddenly chimed in, "It’s just a small company.There’s nothing to ask, Dad."
After hearing what his daughter said, Edward nodded.
Honestly, he was not interested in whatever Lucy was doing.
If she really were the manager of a big corporation, it would mean that his stepdaughter was still rather useful.
After all, profits and gains were the priority of businessmen.
Lucy looked at Elaine, but Elaine paid her no mind.
Lucy did not want to stay after she had finished lunch.
Jenna walked her to the entrance.
Before she left, Jenna grabbed her hand and said, "Lucy, are you mad with me?"
Lucy was not someone who could hold grudges.
When she said she was not mad, she was not mad anymore.
After all, she had grown up now, and she could understand her mother’s choice.
"Mom, do you regret it?" she asked.
Jenna was stunned for a moment.She stroked her belly, but she did not say anything in return.
Lucy did not say anything more and turned around to leave.
After walking far from the Xavier mansion, a car suddenly stopped beside Lucy.
The window was rolled down, and Elaine was sitting in the driving seat.
"Since you've bought a car, why didn't you drive here? If your mom sees that you've bought a car and your life isn't as hard as she thinks, maybe she won't force you to go on a blind date anymore."
Lucy turned her head around to look at her.
"I just don’t want to drive here."
Elaine unlocked the car and said, "Get on.I’ll drive you home."
Lucy hesitated for a while.
Since she had something to ask Elaine as well, she got into the car.
