Joel made special use of the surveillance video in the villa to confirm his point of view.
Indeed, the surveillance video showed that Lucy left the room and the villa at around 8:00 am.
In other words, Lucy did stay in this room all night, and Joel clearly remembered that he was with a woman last night…
Hence, this matter had been proved beyond a doubt in his heart.
It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy.
Joel had done so much. He had always wanted Lucy but could never have her. He could only look at her from a distance because he felt that Lucy did not love him.
After the previous night, how could he still believe that Lucy had no feelings for him?
He was thrilled thinking about it, and was very thankful to the person who had given him the medicine the night before. If it was not for him, how could he learn about Lucy’s heart?
Despite this, the investigation would still be conducted.
Joel’s eyes deepened, he dialed a number and ordered, “Go and find out who followed me last night. I’ll give you three days. I want all the information about that person on my desk.”
He hung up the phone after speaking.
Joel was supposed to be angry after the call, but he had not shown any unpleasant expression at all. Instead, he was very delighted and his heart was full of expectations.
He did not know if Lucy would agree to break off the contractual marriage with Mace if he had found her this time.
She would, right? Joel secretly encouraged himself. Lucy was willing to cross the line for him. Why would she reject him?
When he thought of it, he could not hold back the excitement in his heart. He wished that he could appear right in front of Lucy and locked her firmly in his arms.
What he did not know was that Lucy returned to her apartment in a wretched state.
She looked pale along the way, and was like a lost soul.
A taxi driver saw her and asked with concern, “Miss, are you okay?”
Lucy barely smiled and shook her head. She held onto her clothes and wrapped herself up more tightly.
She had taken a shower before she left.
Joel was very crazy last night.
She had to admit that Joel had what it took to be so arrogant, but for her, it was not pleasurable, it was a disaster.
Lucy could not remember how she got through it. She dared not think about the details.
When she was in the taxi, she was very glad that the driver did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry.
Otherwise, once she was recognized, there would be a big stir.
Lucy closed the door firmly after staggering back home.
She leaned her back against the door, slid down to the ground, hugged her knees, and cried hysterically.
What could she do? How should she face Joel in the future? How could she marry Mace?
She was full of guilt when thinking of Mace, and did not know how she could explain the matter to him.
No, it was not right.
Lucy refuted this suggestion in her heart. She needed to hide it from Mace.
Otherwise, Mace would be angry and would not want her.
Thinking of this, Lucy cried more and more fiercely.
Actually, for Lucy, it did not matter whether Mace wanted her or not.
Lucy who had just debuted would not have the confidence to do so.
After she had become famous, she was more generous in her way of treating things and was disdainful of making use of such minor matters.
At first, Susan thought she was still sleeping.
However, she panicked after having no contact with Lucy for a whole day.
Luckily, it was still quite easy to deal with her work. The industry had always rated Lucy highly. For her to take two days off work due to physical discomfort, although it might be a bit surprising, it was still reasonable.
After all, there were rarely people who were as hardworking and dedicated as Lucy in the entertainment industry.
Thus, the management did not care too much when Susan said that Lucy was not feeling well and had to be temporarily absent for a few days.
After ensuring that Lucy’s work would not go wrong, she began to search for her.
She rushed to Lucy’s home the next day.
Susan had a premonition that Lucy would be at home.
That was indeed the case.
She found Lucy’s shoes and bag when she opened the door with the spare key.
Just when Susan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, she was acutely aware of a problem.
Lucy had always been a neat and tidy person. Everything in her house was laid out organized, but why were her shoes scattered around the floor? Why was her bag thrown on the floor?
Susan keenly discovered that something must have happened to Lucy. She quickly took off her shoes, entered the room, and shouted. “Lucy, are you there?”
Lucy was in such a bad state the day before that she did not even know what she was thinking.
She curled up naked in the quilt, weeping, and fell asleep, again and again. Lucy was still sleeping in the quilt when Susan arrived at her house.
