Chapter 185 Lincoln Holds Her Wrist
“Where are you going?” Lincoln asked.
Lucy hid her emotions and said with a smile, “I’m taking Ophelia home. She will take the college entrance examination next year. She can’t waste her time here.”
“That’s not the truth!” Ophelia immediately added, “It’s the people inside who are discussing that Simon bailed out that bitch with a lot of money! Mom can’t stand it anymore and wants to take me home.”
Lucy pulled Ophelia and motioned her to shut up.
But how could Ophelia stop talking?
She continued to say, “I know you are doing this for me. You are afraid that your divorce will affect my college entrance examination. That’s why you don’t divorce.”
Lucy pinched Ophelia’s thigh and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and sit in the car!”
“Alright.” Ophelia rubbed her thigh and walked to the car parked at the side.
She took two steps and stopped. She turned around and called out to Zayla.
“Zayla, congratulations on winning the championship! You are so cool! If I were a man, I would definitely marry you! I would never give my brother and uncle a chance!”
Zayla was stunned.
Lincoln raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Lucy immediately glared at Ophelia, and then Ophelia obediently sat in the car…
“I’ll go in first.” Zayla planned to leave and let the two siblings talk alone.
But Lincoln held her wrist.
“We came here together, so we need to go in together.”
Zayla didn’t know what to say.
Then, Lincoln looked at Lucy with a serious expression.
He said, “You have a younger brother, so you don’t have to worry about anything.” These words were meaningful.
Lucy’s eyes instantly filled with tears. She nodded lightly.
“I know. I know that.”
Lincoln nodded, not saying anything more.
“Then I’ll take Ophelia back first. I need to teach her a good lesson! Otherwise, how can she enter the University of Houston?”
Lucy muttered as she walked in the direction of the luxury car.
Zayla turned her head and looked at Lucy’s back.
Zayla seemed to understand why Lucy did not choose to divorce.
It was not only because Ophelia was about to take the college entrance examination, but also to save the reputation of the Russo family.
What was more, it was the obsession in Lucy’s heart.
Lucy wanted Palmer to realize his mistake and maintain the family with her.
They had been a couple for about 30 years. How could she break the relationship with him so easily?
Zayla narrowed her eyes.
It was because of Lucy and Ophelia that Zayla hadn’t allowed Linda to reveal the scandal between Palmer and Ezra.
Otherwise, the Russo family would be laughed at by everyone!
This year’s banquet was different from the previous years. There were glass display cabinets of various sizes and shapes in the venue.
Inside the cabinets were antiques collected by Marlowe. All the upper-class people were allowed to buy the antiques, and the money obtained would be used for charity projects.
This time, people started to forget to talk about Norah.
Everyone began to discuss these antiques.
There were porcelain bowls, folding screens, and fans. It looked like a small museum.
And there were also rings, hairpins, and necklaces. It was also like a high-end jewelry shop.
There were so many treasures!
Marlowe took Lincoln to communicate with a few big shots. It was a normal thing in the business world.
Zayla strolled around the venue by herself.
She wanted to choose a few antiques and give them to her parents and brother.
A noble lady, who was dressed gorgeously, tried on a pair of pure gold earrings with pearls with the help of the staff. Her name was Ivy Walton.
Under the light, the pearl was dazzling, and one could tell at a glance that it was top-grade.
But at this moment, the lights in the venue sparkled a few times!
Then there came a loud noise!
Bang!
The lights were all turned off!
There was a riot in the club!
Suddenly, a huge force hit Zayla!
She was wearing high heels and she couldn’t stand stably. She fell to the ground!
The handbag in her hand also fell to the ground!
