Chapter 1369 Treat You to Dinner

Upon hearing Philip's words, the heads of the other eight families came to their senses and stood up one after another to offer their seats to Lucy. Normally, they would've regarded Lucy as a mere starlet whom they could twist around their little fingers. However, not only was Lucy with Matthew last night, but word had it that they had spent the night together, which meant something different. It didn't matter what Lucy's relationship with Matthew was. Even if she were merely his one-night stand, she wasn't someone whom they could underestimate. After all, now that Matthew was known as the Lord of Eastshire, a woman who could stay by his side had to be respected by everyone, of course!
Lucy blushed crimson when she heard how everyone addressed her. Involuntarily, she thought of what had happened last night. She lowered her head, saying, "M-Matthew, please come out for a minute. I'd like to have a word with you."
Matthew frowned slightly. He really didn't have much to do with the lady, nor did he want to get too involved with her. "What's the matter? Can't you tell me about it right here?" he asked.
