Lucy was Joel's caretaker.
It could be said that she was the nanny who had taken care of Joel since he was young. Because she was meticulous and smart, she had always worked for the Smiths.
As Joel grew up, Lucy had also slowly been promoted and given a raise from taking care of him. Before Florence was taken away by the police, her words at home already carried a lot of weight.
Even Florence and Yvonne were polite to her because of Joel.
After all, Florence was already old, and Joel was the new head of the Smiths. Her future status could be imagined.
Lucy had watched Yvonne grow up. She was loyal to Joel, so she naturally disliked Yvonne.
After all… Joel was the one Ian had chosen. Yvonne was Ian's adopted daughter, but she had a high status at home and always suppressed others.
In the past, when she saw Maureen giving in to Yvonne, she couldn't help but wonder if Joel would give in to her at home when he got married in the future.
