"Lucy, I'm warning you—be careful with your actions. Don't make me regret this engagement any more than I already do."
His words hit Lucy like a slap.
She forced a smile, though her heart burned with anger. "Of course, Josh. I understand."
But behind her polite exterior, her mind was working furiously. She needed a plan, and she needed it fast.It's getting late, Josh," Lucy said with a forced sweetness. "I should head home now."
Without waiting for his response, she turned and hurried out of his office.
Josh watched her retreating figure with a faint smirk, his eyes glinting with a mixture of amusement and suspicion.
As soon as Lucy stepped out of the Greg family's estate, she pulled out her phone and quickly dialed Anna's number.
"Anna, we have a problem," Lucy said, her voice low and urgent. "We need to talk—now."

Lucy ended the call and took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.
