Chapter 218
After three silent minutes, Chelsea turned away from Lucy's coffin.
Everyone there knew that Chelsea was Lucy's best friend. When they saw her leaving the coffin without even showing the slightest hint of reluctance, they started feeling disdainful.
What kind of person was she? Her best friend had just passed away, but she only mourned for three minutes. It was like Lucy was just a stranger to her. It seemed like Lucy did not have a good eye for people.
Just as they were thinking this, the next scene proved them very wrong.
Chelsea did not leave the funeral after stepping away from the coffin. Instead, she walked up to Matthew.
She did not say a word at first, but after her silence, she slapped Matthew across the face.
Matthew was caught off guard by her action. He understood why she slapped him, so he remained silent.
Chelsea took his silence for guilt, and she said, "You despicable man! I entrusted you with Lulu. Why didn't you protect her?"
Matthew remained silent. Could he tell Chelsea that Lucy was not dead and that she was sent to hide in another country?
Absolutely not, so he had no choice but to endure the slap without a word.
However, that only made Chelsea more angry. Her voice became shrill. "You coward! Aren't you going to speak?
"Speak! Why did Lucy get into a car accident all of a sudden? Didn't you arrange bodyguards around her? You're supposed to be head of the number one company in the world, but I see you're just a useless coward who can't even protect his own woman."
Everyone gasped. It seemed they had misjudged her earlier. Chelsea truly cared for Lucy so much that she even dared to slap Matthew, the CEO of the top global company No one else would be able to putt something like that.
They sighed with admiration for the deep sisterly bond between them, but they also found the situation
regretful. With such a good life in t
was a pity that Lucy passed away so soon. Perhaps the heavens envied her beauty, so they gave her a short and tragic life.
If Matthew said something, Chelsea might have been able to scold him even more. His silence not only fueled her anger but also left her with nothing else to say.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
In the end, Chelsea stomped her foot in frustration and ignored Matthew. However, her eyes inadvertently turned red.
She still remembered that Lucy had even called her before the accident, inviting her to hang out. She was with Hugh at the time, so she did not meet up with her.
If she had left Hugh and gone out with Lucy, would the accident have happened?
However, it was too late. Lucy was gone now. No matter how much Chelsea regretted her past decisions, there was nothing she could do to change the outcome.
After cursing Matthew for a while, Chelsea was drained.
She thought that she had already dried up her tear ducts from crying the past week, but her tears started falling involuntarily as she collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were lifeless as she muttered, "Lulu..."
A dark figure rushed down from the
Bentley in the distance, quickly
per
reaching Chelsea's side. The looked at her with concern and
asked, "Chelsea, are you okay?"
The person reached out to help her up, but Chelsea was unresponsive as if she were lost in her own grief.
