Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 626

Lucy and Joel had promised to keep their marriage away from public knowledge. If he stepped out to speak up, no one could contain the news of their marriage.

Would that not be going back against her promise to him?

She heaved a long sigh after giving it some thought.

“We can talk about this later. You better subdue all those public opinions first.”

On the other side of the phone, Susan nodded her head.

“Since your relationship with Joel Foster is real, then the whole situation isn’t as scary anymore. I was panicking earlier as I was worried that it was all fake. You know what this circle is like…”

Lucy faintly laughed.

She understood what Susan meant.

If her true intention was to tackle Joel Foster to grab a higher social status, she would eventually leave a trail of scandals all over the place no matter the ending. She would have to face and clean the mess up herself.

Her current situation was different. Joel and she were lawfully married husband and wife.

Susan could clear the air with much fewer scruples.

Lucy breathed in deeply and said, “Sorry for the inconvenience, Ms. Susan.”

Susan bobbed her head and asked, “Do you happen to know who is the culprit behind this? Do tell me if you know any information. That would save my time from going around to investigate. No matter the result, the fastest way is to directly deal with the root of the cause.”

When she mentioned this, Lucy’s eyes brimmed with coldness.

“Don’t need to go directly to her. I know who the culprit is. She will not give up nor let go.”

Susan was surprised to hear her say that.

“Refuse to give up? What does that mean?”

Lucy felt helpless. She had to explain Jada Swanson’s situation to her.

Susan deliberated over the situation after hearing what she had to say.

This situation was quite depressing.

However, Joel Foster was inevitably dragged into this mess. He was the director of Anning International which meant that he was her highest-ranking boss.

Susan did not know how to respond at that moment.

“If that is the case, I will have to give up on pursuing my original idea of investigation.”

Lucy agreed and they both discussed a bit further on the matter before they hung up.

She heaved a long sigh of relief after she hung up.

Lucy was about to go back to her bedroom but was shocked when she turned.

Joel Foster had his arms crossed against his chest while leaning onto the door frame. She did not know how long he had stood there.

He was still clad in his pajamas from last night. A black silk pajama was loosely draped over his body.

The faint warm rays of the early morning sun burst through the window and fell on his face. He suddenly looked godlike.

Lucy looked at him in a daze. She soon came to her senses and asked, “You’re awake?”

Joel Foster nodded and walked over. He hugged her from behind.

“Was that Susan?”

His line of sight fell onto the phone she was holding onto.

Lucy was not sure how much he had heard from their earlier conversation.

She could only nod her head in response.

“I’ve heard everything.”

He rested his chin on her shoulder. His whole body was still in a lazy state from having just got out of bed. There was a charm to his big kid aura.

He said in a husky voice, “Sorry Lulu, I brought you trouble.”

Lucy was still dejected by what happened that day.

When she heard him speaking in a pouty manner, she could not understand why but the grey clouds hidden within her cleared instantly. She could not contain herself from puffing out and chuckling.

“That’s right, you brought trouble to me. How are you going to compensate me for that?”

Joel Foster asked, “Don’t need me to send you off?”

“Nope.”

What kind of a joke was this?

The internet had exploded into chaos. She did not manage to avoid arousing suspicion, how could she let him send her off as well?

Was the mess on the internet not intensive enough?

Joel Foster understood this principle. He sadly rubbed his nose and did not say further.

Lucy took a few steps, then paused. She turned back and said, “That’s right, I thought I should inform you of this. To avoid being suspected, we should not stay together. I will go back to my apartment to live in. If it is inconvenient for me to go back, I will stay at the production company’s hotel. Don’t look for me for the time being lest others take pictures of us and make some scandals up.”

Joel Foster was disheartened at these words.

His face darkened and in a low voice said, “No way! I don’t agree with this!”

Lucy raised an eyebrow. “Why is that?”

Joel Foster refused to speak. He stormed forward and held her in his arms.

“You’re my wife. What do you mean that I can’t look for you? Can I not look for my wife?”

Lucy paused. His words rendered her speechless for a moment.

She helplessly rolled her eyes. “We can’t help it, can we? We’re in a secret marriage now. Do you understand what a secret marriage is? We cannot let others find out about it. And we cannot allow others to discover our real relationship.”

She took out her phone and opened Weibo. She pointed at the photo under hot topics. “Look at it yourself. Your little lover has exposed our relationship to the world.”

“The public is already on our heels. If you come and look for me, there would be nine out of ten chances that we cannot avoid their eyes. To be safe, you better not look for me for now.”

Joel Foster's face turned sour.

“Then for how long should we hide from each other?”

It was not easy for him to finally find the one, yet he had to keep things under wraps.

They were lawfully husband and wife, but they could not even see each other.
