Janet Hancock and Liam Jackman came along too.
Simon Wilburn had not arrived. Everyone did not know the reason, but Lucy Katz and Joel Foster knew why.
As it was a matter of privacy and it was quite embarrassing to say, they both decided to keep silent.
Everyone else thought that he had important matters to deal with and could not come. Hence, they did not mind.
Gideon Sam Leith and Nell Jennings were extremely busy people. Nell had to look after her child before she could come. She would join them a bit later.
Hence, the rest of them made their move to the designated private room and started chattering with enthusiasm with drinks in hand.
Owen Jackman laughed out. “Who knew that the stars would align and both of you would end up together? Second Young Master, you played well this time.”
Joel Foster held his chin. His peach blossom eyes beaming with joy.
Janet Hancock lightly patted on Lucy Katz’s shoulders and smiled. “Sigh, our Second Young Master here is a playboy. How did you get cheated onto his love boat? Are you not afraid of regretting this in the future?”
She laughed along without bothering, but Janet Hancock’s words had instead shot straight through Joel Foster’s weak spot.
Joel Foster’s expression changed and immediately tried to stop her.
“Hey stop that! I’m a different person now. Don’t go sowing these seeds of discord!”
His anxious reaction made the whole room laugh.
Lucy Katz tried to contain her laughter too.
After they had some more fun for a little longer, Gideon and Nell arrived.
Nell had an inkling that they both would be together, so she was not as surprised. After dinner, they went to the bar for some drinks. They then respectively went home.
It was during that night that the internet blew up with the news of Lucy Katz’s past.
Some random user had suddenly published an article.
The article title read as follows.
‘Ugly past of seemingly innocent female celebrity exposed. Is she a psychopath murderer?’
The article contained what Lucy Katz had encountered all these years.
Including Old Fourth Cecil and her relationship with Mace Smith.
The final piece of information revealed that she was hooking up with the little prince of the Foster family, the Second Young Master.
The netizens loved to watch these kinds of drama.
They tended to read news from the entertainment circle through colored biased lenses.
After they read the article, they did feel pity for Lucy Katz considering her miserable past when she was little.
She did end up with such a father after all.
At the same time, they all had the same question in their hearts.
She managed to steal someone’s heart from the Foster family despite such a life experience and background. Just how capable was this woman?
Sometimes, the truth did not matter in this world. What mattered was the concoction of the public.
Soon, someone dug out the past between Joel Foster and Jada Swanson.
A picture surfaced where Joel Foster was speaking up for Lucy Katz during a dinner party while Jada Swanson was left in humiliation.
The netizens loved to see these kinds of gossip. When this image was circulated, numerous speculations were spread that a mistress shamelessly shoved the original girlfriend away from her spot. A war had started!
That night, the internet had exploded before Lucy Katz even realized.
Countless people rushed to her Weibo and hurled insults at her.
The hashtag #Lucy Katz should scram from the Entertainment Circle# quickly rose to the number one spot of the top hot topics.
Titles following closely behind were #Lucy Katz the mistress#, #Life of Lucy Katz#, and many more.
That night, her name grabbed all the top spots of hot topics.
Negative news about her was plastered all over the internet.
Lucy Katz stared at the slew of negative news about her splashed all over the hot topics. Her face darkened.
She coldly replied, “What do you mean sleep? Joel Foster, your little lover has gone crazy! She’s trying to mess with me to death!”
She flung his arm away as she said this and turned her body to get out of bed.
Joel Foster was in a daze when he heard her say “his little lover”.
His brain was still not fully awake. Hence, he subconsciously laughed.
“Aren’t you my little lover? Oh… Who would dare to mess with you?”
Lucy Katz was in no mood to play with him. She swiftly returned Susan’s call after getting out of bed.
Susan Reed knew that she had seen the hot topics. She breathed in deeply and suppressed the burning flames of anger in her heart.
“So? Have you seen it? Can you tell me what on earth is going on?”
Lucy pursed her lips and turned to see the man on her bed. She headed toward the living room.
“Big Sis Susan, let me start from the beginning…”
It took her ten minutes to explain.
Susan’s face was twitching. “Ptooey! I couldn’t tell at all! I’m your manager for crying out loud. Yet, I had no idea that you had a stirring relationship behind my back. You’re pretty good at holding this information from me.”
Lucy Katz helplessly massaged her temples. “Big Sis Susan, it’s all my fault. I should not have kept this from you.”
Susan Reed humphed. “Don’t need to apologize. You’re now the Missus of the Second Young Master from the Foster Family. I’m just a tiny manager who cannot offend you. Don’t you worry, we called for an emergency meeting yesterday and have come up with a scheme. We need you to play along in some places. I will email you the details.”
Lucy agreed to her in a regretful tone.
Susan paused for a while and continued, “If it is possible, we need Second Young Master Foster to show his face as well. You understand, right?”
Lucy Katz stood still.
She of course understood what Susan Reed meant.
