Chapter 97: Chapter 97

"Get lost, they’re all monks in there. Why would I join them?"

"Oh?" Jacob Green seized the topic, "So does that mean you’ve taken a liking to one of the monks?"

Lily Green instantly bristled, "Nonsense, come here, let’s see if I don’t beat you up."

"I was just saying casually, but seeing your reaction, I’m guessing it’s true. Second sister, I might understand why you’re not using your name, but for something , you should using your own name. After all, that way you can have an excuse to meet the person you want."

"No, it’s not." Lily Green denied, "How could I have a thing for a monk? Stop asking for a beating, I’m done talking with you. I’ll handle it myself."

After hanging up, Lily’s emotions were turbulent. She seemed to think of something, and her expression softened a bit.

Chloe White repeatedly confirmed with James Foster whether Lucy Eaton was indeed the Prime Minister’s daughter as reported in the news. After getting a positive response, she said with her boyfriend’s arm in hers, "That’s really surprising."

"I didn’t expect it either." James Foster noted the time, "I need to get to work."

"I’m leaving too, heading to the hospital to see my mom." She gave James a peck on the cheek before leaving the store.

When she got to the hospital, she shared this news with her mother.

But Mrs. White wasn’t very interested, "Her being the Prime Minister’s daughter has nothing to do with your boyfriend, right?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI★Fire.net

"They’re good friends."

"Men and women can’t just be friends, if you ask me. James Foster might have feelings for Lucy Eaton, but she got married, and there’s nothing he can do about it."

After her mother’s analysis, Chloe White’s excitement cooled down, somewhat agreeing with her mother’s perspective.

Seeing her daughter quiet, Mrs. White advised her, "You should keep that rich second-generation boyfriend happy and marry him. That’s the start of your lifelong happiness. No matter how hard James Foster works, he’s still just a hairdresser. How much can he achieve?"

"But he’s very genuine, handsome, and I quite like him. Plus, he’s not poor."

"Well, would you rather be a pampered young bride with people serving you or be involved in everything yourself? If he has to work, he won’t have time for chores. Being from a rural area, he won’t hire help, and you’ll end up doing everything yourself. Think it over carefully."

Chloe White, naturally, preferred a life of being served. She realized James Foster didn’t seem like someone who would hire cleaners. She had a stereotype about rural people, thinking they were mostly frugal and unwilling to spend money if they didn’t have to.

Seeing her daughter come around, Mrs. White smiled, "If that wealthy boyfriend of yours truly loves you, he’ll definitely want to marry you. For a woman, finding someone rich and good to you is the most important thing. It’s a lifelong matter; you can’t be careless. This way, have that rich boyfriend come visit me in the hospital tomorrow. There are some things I want to say to him in person."

"What if James finds out?"

"Just have him come during James Foster’s work hours."

"Right, that makes sense."

The mother and daughter planned this, but they didn’t expect to avoid James Foster yet still run into Lucy Eaton.

The next morning, after Jackson Baker and Liora Hughes left, Lucy Eaton headed to work at the hospital.

She originally planned to take a few more days off to spend time with her grandmother at home.

But the old lady told her it wasn’t necessary and urged her to focus on work.

Though Lucy didn’t spend much time with her, she understood her grandmother’s temperament, so she went back to work.

On the way, James Foster texted her to check on how Chloe White’s mother was doing.

Who would have thought she would walk into such an infuriating scene?

As she reached the first floor of the inpatient department, she spotted Chloe White being escorted by a slightly chubby man towards the elevator.

Lucy Eaton’s eyes sharpened, and she turned to rush up the stairs.

Chloe White had no idea that holding hands with her wealthy ex-boyfriend would be seen by Lucy Eaton.

She assumed Lucy Eaton wouldn’t be coming to work at the hospital anytime soon, and even if she did, she’d be in the outpatient department. So she permitted her ex to hold her hand.

She had no worry of being caught.

Mrs. White, seeing them enter, greeted with a smile, "This must be you, Xiao Lin."

"You look so dashing. Don’t just stand there, have a seat."

Chloe White pulled a chair for him to sit, and she sat by the bedside.

"Auntie, I originally wanted to come see you, but Chloe stopped me."

Mrs. White understood, "It’s no problem. You’re busy too. I asked Chloe to invite you mainly to discuss you two’s matter. I know you dated Chloe before, briefly apart because your parents didn’t initially accept her. I also know you genuinely care for our Chloe and even planned to gift her a house. Honestly, neither I nor Chloe focus on family background, only on the person themselves. You being so good to our Chloe gives me peace of mind to entrust her to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin’s eyes brightened, "Auntie, I do really like Chloe, thank you for supporting us."

"Naturally, I support you. I divorced her dad early, and she stayed with me through hard times. Seeing her settle down is my greatest wish. Are you willing to marry her?"

"You want us to get married?"

"Aren’t you willing?"

"Auntie, no, I am willing. It’s just the household registry is with my parents, so I need to discuss it with them."

Mrs. White nodded, "Of course."

No sooner had she said this than the hospital room’s door swung open, and Lucy Eaton entered clapping, "What a great drama we have here."

Seeing Lucy Eaton, Chloe White and Mrs. White’s faces changed instantly.

"Lucy... sis." Chloe White’s voice trembled a bit.

"Oh, Chloe White, having the nerve to cheat on James with both feet in the boat." Lucy Eaton walked toward her, "James was so good to you, and yet you dare to play this trick on us."

Mrs. White, seeing her daughter frightened, turned to retaliate, "Go tell your good friend James Foster not to bother my daughter anymore. My daughter has a boyfriend."

Seeing the ugly demeanor of these two, Lucy Eaton’s expression was icy, "You old hag, you had a car accident, and your daughter begged James to cover the medical bill, even asked me to arrange a single-bed patient room for you, just to have your daughter date both men at once, treating James as plan B. Truly like mother, like daughter, both shameless."

The wealthy man, Xiao Lin, stood bewildered, not knowing who was telling the truth. He silently observed the situation unfold.

"We only borrowed the money for medical expenses, don’t you try to sully Chloe’s reputation with it." Mrs. White turned to Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, would you be willing to pay them back?"
