Chapter 16
Parker and the others looked at Lucy.
Lucy’s face instantly grew cold. “Why should I help you cook a few dishes? Am I indebted to you? How rude of you to ask for help. Who do you think you
“…” Ashley originally wanted to say, “I’m your brother.”
But he managed to stop himself in time
First Lucy’s gaze was too indifferent, as if she didn’t see
n’t see him as family at all.
Second, he had been reminded before the show not to reveal his relationship with Lucy. If Lucy were to be provoked and make a scene, it would be quite
embarrassing.
“Leo, I suggest you take a good look in the mirror and see if you look like some deity who can issue orders everywhere,” Lucy said with a hint of disgust, I’m not your servant, so stop bothering me ”
Seeing Lucy’s attitude, Parker also spoke up. “Lea, how can you be so thick–skinned? Lucy is part of our team, who do you think you are to boss her
around?”
At this moment, the three people from the kitchen also came out.
“Sorry, my brother didn’t mean it,” Gracie said with a face full of apology to Parker and Lucy, “My hand got injured while cooking. My brother was too anxious and got a bit harsh in his tone. Please don’t blame him.”
Lucy knew that Gracie was deliberately showing off their sibling bond to provoke her.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t buying it.
“Your brother cares about you, so he can cook himself. Why come to me? Am I your family’s servant?” Lucy said, “Besides, we’ve long since had nothing to do with each other. Whether you’re flaunting sibling affection or moral coercion, don’t bring it in front of me, or I won’t be polite”
Gracie’s face turned pale upon being exposed by Lucy.
She was even afraid Lucy might publicly reveal their relationship. The old Lucy wouldn’t have done that, but the current Lucy might,
She dared not argue further and bit her lip, pulling Ashley’s arm. “Ashley, my hand is fine. I can continue cooking. Don’t trouble others.”
Ashley was still seething with anger.
How can she say not to treat her like a servant? Wasn’t she making soup every day to please them in the May family? What’s wrong with asking her to cook a dish?
I to stop him, he softened his stance.
But seeing Gracie keep shaking her head to stop
“Fine, since some people want to distance themselves from us, we won’t bother with them anymore.” Ashley snorted coldly.
“It’s not about distancing, it’s that we’ve long had nothing to do with each other.” Lucy said flatly. “So please show some respect in the future.”
She wasn’t planning to reveal her relationship with the Green family at this time. After all, her own revelations wouldn’t be as impactful as others finding out
on their own.
The backlash from that would be the most terrifying.
Ashley was fuming
What kind of sister treats her brother like this?
Why can’t she ever learn to be as obedient and considerate as Gracie?
Seeing that Ashley was so angry. Gracie instinctively knew she shouldn’t let the conversation continue
Otherwise, he might accidentally reveal Lucy’s identity
So, she deliberately exclaimed, “Oh no, my dish is burning! Brother, come help mel”
With that, she pulled Ashley back to the kitchen.
Lucy clicked her tongue meaningfully, her gaze full of significance. “Truly, the sibling bond is so strong, even holding hands while going back to the
kitchen”
“Oh, their relationship is a bit excessive, isn’t 17” Others also noticed,
Would adult siblings really hold hands like that?
Cohen and Lucy were childhood friends. Knowing her nature wasn’t weak, seeing her confronting Gracie and the others made him frown. “Lucy, enough is enough” Don’t be too aggressive.

† Chapter 16.
Lucy looked up at Cohen, her eyes slightly cold. This is called the one who initiates is at fault.”
Out of familial consideration, she had tolerated Gracie many times before, but the Green family always saw it as her fault, as if she was bullying Gracie.
Now it seemed Cohen thought the same way.
No wonder he abandoned her in the previous life to save Gracie.
Now, she didn’t care about them anymore and naturally wouldn’t indulge them.
If anyone provoked her again, they shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless! C
Her gaze was icy, making Cohen feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She had never looked at him with such cold eyes before.
He wanted to explain that he only hoped she would be more restrained and wasn’t blaming her, but just as he was about to speak, Parker interrupted him.
“Mr. Bailey, the one who strikes first is the villain,” Parker said coldly, stepping in front of Lucy. “Everyone saw what happened just now, and we all know who is right and who is wrong. Are you really unable to distinguish between right and wrong?”
Ashley’s commanding tone and condescending attitude as he looked down at others were grating to him.
Cohen, who had been a childhood friend, directly sided with Leo.
Someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong should indeed be cut off.
Cohen’s expression was slightly cold as he frowned and said, “There are some things you don’t understand, so you can’t comprehend them.”
Ashley was Lucy’s older brother, so she shouldn’t have confronted him in public and made him lose face.
Lucy glanced at Cohen and understood his thoughts. She sneered, “Mr. Bailey thinks I was born to owe them something, so I deserve to be treated rudely by them and shouldn’t express any dissatisfaction?”
*I… I didn’t mean that,” he said, feeling flustered by her increasing coldness.
He only wanted her not to treat her brother like th
that
But recalling that Gracie had asked him to keep Lucy’s relationship with the Green family a secret, he swallowed his explanation.
“Forget it,” he sighed. “I mean no harm, so don’t overthink it.”
“I don’t care, so what can I overthink?” Lucy replied indifferently. “Instead, you all are always so self–righteous and turn things around.”
What Ashley
y and Cohen thought had nothing to do with her.
As long as they didn’t provoke her again, she didn’t care how they felt.
But if they
y dared t
I to cross the line again, she wouldn’t hold back
Cohen pursed his lips tightly. The timing wasn’t right to say more, so he turned and went back to the kitchen, planning to find a chance to talk to her privately.
Meanwhile, Sasha was dumbfounded.
She didn’t expect Lucy to be so tough. As a top star and a leading actor with a powerful background, she had put the two of them in their place… Simply put, it was both brave and foolish.
Offending people and having the whole process broadcast live. Was she trying to be torn apart by her fans?
Or was Lucy planning to take the path of being infamous but popular?
Sasha, deep in thought, went back to the kitchen, no longer daring to provoke Lucy
After they left, Mel and Demi finally came to their senses.
“Lucy, why are you so tough? Demi murmured.
