Chapter 369

Chapter 369

If Lucy and Chelsea were to live together, Matthew and Hugh would be neglected. Having to spend lonely nights was absolute torture, but they could not just tell them that. Hugh racked his brain, trying to come up with an excuse. He suddenly had an idea.

"Something came up at the company. Yes, that's it. That's what I was going to tell you. I haven't been to the company the past few days, so some issues have occurred..."

Unlike Matthew, it would be impossible for him to simply relocate his company headquarters to Charleston on a whim. Hugh decided to come up with a little lie, saying that his company was facing some problems.

That way, he could resolve Chelsea's desire to stay and take her back with him.

In an attempt to pacify Lucy, Matthew followed Hugh's lead and chimed in regretfully, "Yeah, Mr. Lincoln's company is facing a major problem and is on the verge of bankruptcy. He didn't want to worry you, Ms. King, so he has been keeping it to himself all this time." Bankruptcy? Since when was his company facing bankruptcy? Matthew was just making things up! Hugh looked at Matthew with a huge question mark on his face.

However, Chelsea took it seriously. She anxiously grabbed Hugh and said with a trembling voice, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me, Hugh?"

How the hell was he supposed to tell her that when it was completely made up by Matthew?
