Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 582

“Pfft! What can this daughter of a bum afford to buy?”

The woman next to Ursula jeered, “Don’t come here if you can't afford anything! You’re just a waste of space.”

Lucy frowned. “Does this museum… Belong to your family?”

The woman laughed. “It doesn’t, but when the museum was constructed, my family donated a whopping fifty million. I doubt a bumpkin like you has ever seen such a huge sum of money in your whole life!”

“So, I advise you to leave immediately. If you irritate our Elder Sister Shannon, she’ll send someone to kick you out and it’ll be even more humiliating!”

Lucy twitched her lips. Apparently, these folks loved to use someone else’s power to bully others.

She was perfectly aware of the donation by Shannon’s family. She still remembered that it was Joel who let the Peterson family make the donation.

However, these people acted like it was so magnanimous of them. It felt ironic when she thought of it.

“Hey! I’m talking to you, do you hear me?”

One of the women got angry when she did not get a reaction from Lucy, so she pushed the latter.

The injury Lucy received on her leg while filming earlier had not fully healed. She was caught off guard, lost her balance and fell backwards.

She did not expect the other woman to get physical. She thought about how unlucky she was and was prepared for the fall when a man caught her by her waist and supported her.

The group of women was stunned. When they noticed who the man was, they held their breath collectively.

Who was he? He was so handsome!

Was he an heir from a wealthy family? With his charisma and good looks, he might even be an upcoming celebrity!

A blushing Ursula was about to speak when the man muttered in a low, stern voice, “What happened? I’ve been gone for a minute and you let these people bully you?”

Lucy, who was in a daze, reacted and said, “No, I didn’t.”

“Then what happened?”

He looked at the women opposite him.

His gaze was like a sharp arrow that sent shivers down the spines of the three women before him. Their fawning sighs turned into gasps of horror.

Ursula furrowed her brows. “Who are you? We were just having a conversation. Mind your own business!”

The Peterson sisters had been studying overseas and only came home six months ago.

For the past six months, Joel had been ignoring Jada as he only cared about Lucy. Therefore, there was no more tabloid news surrounding him.

He seldom roamed about as well, so the women were not familiar with him.

Joel did not bother about them but fixed his gaze on Lucy.

Lucy pouted and whispered, “They said I’m a bum’s daughter and I can’t afford the things here, and they told me to get lost.”

Joel’s gaze hardened. “And you’re obedient enough to do so?”

“No!” Lucy defended herself. “However, they said that this place was sponsored by the Peterson family. Coincidentally, I offended Miss Peterson by accident, so I’m worried that I’ll be kicked out if I don’t leave.”

“Well done!” Joel snorted and yelled, “Mike!”

Mike appeared from a corner suddenly and walked towards Joel. He acknowledged respectfully, “Young Master.”

“Get these women out of here! Next, tell the person-in-charge here that I, Joel Foster, will buy this place!”

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s the truth, we wanted to advise her and we were worried that she would get bullied if she doesn’t understand.”

Lucy saw how quickly these women changed their tune and mused about how she was wise enough to keep her distance from them back then. Else, they would have stabbed her in the back one day and she might not know it.

Joel’s gaze was unfriendly and he never responded to those women. Meanwhile, Wayne Barnett caught wind of the situation and rushed over. He was terrified when he noticed the commotion and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Shannon and Mr. Barnett were related and knew each other. The former explained, “Mr. Barnett, it was just a misunderstanding. We were simply offering a reminder to this young lady, but Second Young Master Foster misunderstood the situation and thought we bullied her. Please help us explain the matter.”

Wayne scowled. He glared at her and scolded, “What young lady? This is Second Young Master Foster’s girlfriend!”

Lucy observed clearly how fast the expressions of the women changed after hearing those words.

She rubbed her nose. Apparently, there were many benefits to using Joel Foster’s name.

She should have known to use his name early on so that she did not have to waste her time conversing with those women.

Shannon and her relatives were astonished. Was this woman really Joel’s girlfriend?

Although they had never met Joel, they had heard of his name.

They knew that he was a playboy, but he did not like other women claiming to be his girlfriend in public.

He never admitted to having a girlfriend either.

After all, with his family background and status, if he was willing to admit to it publicly, it meant how important this woman was to him.

In the future, she might even marry him and become a part of the Foster family.

Therefore, regardless of the past rumors, he never made an official confirmation.
