Lucille did not expect that Natasha would work at Franklin's company so soon. When she thought about what had happened in the past, she was still angry and went in, without paying any attention to her.
"You're still aware that this is your home?" Alma came out of the bedroom and said, "Do you know how much your father and I have done and how many nice things we have said so you could get married? Did you ask for our opinion before you got a divorce?"
"How's my dad?"
Lucille did not want to argue with her. She only wanted to go to the bedroom to see Marvin.
When Lucille reached the door of the room, she was stopped by Alma. "What's wrong? You have not replied to me. Do you think you are so capable now? Do you think that you are still Mrs. Moore?"
Alma put her hands on her hips and stood in front of the door.
"Dear, let Lucille enter. Ahem, Ahem."
Marvin's weak voice came from the bedroom when he heard the argument.
"Enter? If she doesn't clarify the matter today, she can't enter the bedroom." Alma raised her eyebrows and she was burning with anger.
What made her angry was that during Lucille and Franklin's short duration of marriage, she did not gain any benefits at all.
She had planned to borrow money by relying on Lucille's identity, but it was destroyed by Franklin's words the other day.
After that, she planned to find an opportunity to gain more benefits. She did not expect that before she could even think about it, Lucille and Franklin were already divorced.
"Mom." Natasha was obviously proud, but she still tried to advise her mother. "Don't blame Lucille. She is also very sad about the divorce. It's not like you don't know what kind of person Franklin... President Moore is. With Lucille's character, it was impossible to tie him down."
"Shut up. How many rich families in A City are willing to marry our family? If I had known that she was so useless, I would have waited until you were able to be married to Franklin." Alma really hated that Lucille failed to live up to her expectations.
If it were not for the fact that Marvin's company was in trouble at that time and that Natasha was still at school, this marriage might not fall into Lucille's hands.
"He and I have already divorced so it's useless to say anything now," Lucille whispered.
"Who allowed you to divorce? Go and apologize to President Moore now!"
"That's enough, dear. Let Lucille enter. It must be that Franklin insisted on divorcing her. She had no choice."
Marvin could not take it anymore and tried to persuade Alma.
He knew Lucille well.
"You are just biased towards her. Originally, we were in-laws with the Moore Group. Many rich madams had been flattering me recently. If this matter was to be revealed, no one will take care of me in the future," Alma said and reluctantly moved from the door.
Lucille entered the bedroom.
As soon as she entered, she saw Marvin lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. His face was pale and there were many bottles of medicine on the bedside table.
"Dad, are you okay? What happened?" Lucille went in and immediately knelt next to the bed as she was worried about Marvin.
Marvin was the only relative she had now. "I'm fine. I was hungry that night and ate at a roadside stall. I didn't think that it would not be clean," Marvin smiled bitterly.
Lucille then understood after she heard Marvin's explanation. He was an ordinary person who had made a fortune. Although he was rich now, he still had a soft spot for the roadside stalls.
However, she could not help but blame him. "Dad, if you want to eat something, call me. I'll make it for you and I promise that it won't taste worse than the roadside stalls. You're old now and your health is important."
"You were married previously and I was afraid that you needed to cook for Franklin." Marvin knew of his daughter's cooking skills.
"Dad, when you get better, I will cook for you," Lucille promised.
Marvin took his daughter's hand and asked with concern, "Lucille, where do you live now?"
Alma suddenly thought about it when she heard Marvin's question. Her mind was immediately opened and she asked. "That's right, where are you living now after the divorce? Where is Marie? Did Franklin divorce you because you have another man outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lucille could prove that she was misunderstood by Franklin, but Alma was not qualified to accuse her.
