Chapter 214
Lucy smiled and nodded. The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the elevator, where they ran into Peter, who was also waiting.
Seeing Lucy, Peter immediately smiled and greeted her, “Hi, Lucy p>
But when his gaze landed on Seven, who looked like a miniature copy of Kingsley standing beside her the smile on his face froze instantly. Only one thought screamed in his mind:
“Lucy is incredible at hiding things. She actually kept such a little angel hidden by her side p>
Seven looked up at Peter with his big, bright eyes and greeted him politely in German: “Guten Tag. (Good day p>
Peter snapped back to reality, quickly hiding his shock and responding fast, “Guten Tag. (Good day p>
Lucy lowered her eyes and patted Seven’s head, speaking gently, “Seven, go up now, okay? Mommy needs to say a few words to this sir. I’ll be right there p>
“Okay! Mama, be quick,” Seven nodded obediently.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and the nanny led Seven inside.
The little guy didn’t forget to raise his small hand, waving goodbye to Lucy and Peter.
Peter watched the elevator doors close, his heart still pounding like stormy waves. Kingsley actually had such a cute son. This was practically a surprise reward from God!
The moment the elevator doors sealed, Lucy’s tone turned ice-cold. She got straight to the point:
“Pretend you didn’t see what you saw today. You’ve heard of a ‘mother’s instinct’— push me too far, and even I don’t know what I might do p>
Peter looked at the resolve in her eyes and sighed. “You can’t hide this forever. Besides, Kingsley plans to win you back anyway p>
“That’s his business, nothing to do with me,” Lucy curled her lips, though the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “I only hope that what happened today dies with you p>
Peter twitched the corner of his mouth. “You and Kingsley are really alike. You both love pressuring people with words p>
Changing the subject, his attitude softened. “I can keep quiet, but you know as well as I do that with his resources, he’ll find out sooner or later p>
“If he finds out on his own, that’s his
ability. It has nothing to do with you,” Lucy’s
Se grew colder. “But if it leaks from your mouth, don’t be
erised if accidents happen p>
The words sent a chill down Peter’s spine. She truly was someone capable of standing toe-to-toe with Kingsley; her ruthlessness wasn’t just for show.
He waved his hands hurriedly. “I’m a coward! I won’t say a word! I hope you keep your little angel hidden well p>
Lucy glanced at him, her tone
softening slightly. “That’s not for you
to workabout dent 1
mouth. Even if you
your
i think t
yourself, think about your girlfriend, right p>
“Lucy, you really are ruthless p>
There was a genuine mix of admiration in Peter’s voice. Not only did she dare to challenge Kingsley, but she also knew exactly how to grab someone by their weak spot.
He silently apologized to Kingsley in
his heart “Bro it’s not that I won’t help you but your ex-wife’s threats are terrifying. If I talk, I’m afraid even you can’t save me p>
Hearing his words, the chill on Lucy’s face faded a little.
“I’m only ruthless to my enemies. I hope I never have to use that ‘ruthlessness’ on you p>
Peter shook his head vigorously, his tone incredibly sincere:
“I won’t say anything! Today, I saw nothing and heard nothing p>
