“No.” Zoey cried and shook her head. “Brother Samuel, it’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Lucille.
Not to mention, the situation got a bit out of hand today. There were even reporters here.”
“Isn’t that even better?” Samuel asked.
With hatred in his tone, he continued, “It’s time for more people to know how horrible Lucille really is!
When the reporters release the news, I’ll hire people to add fuel to the fire. I’ll avenge you!”
He successfully comforted Zoey and made her amused. She blinked her innocent eyes and said, RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Okay. You’re the best, Samuel. However, you have to promise me that you can’t make any more
trouble for Lucille.”
“Got it.” Samuel shook his head and sighed. With a doting look on his face, he said, “You’re too kind.
That’s why you keep getting bullied by her.”
“No matter what, we’re still sisters in the end. Even though we’re not related by blood, I see Lucille as
my younger sister. So, as her elder sister, I have to be more tolerant of her,” Zoey replied.
She lowered her eyes, and her expression was full of innocence.
However, triumph flashed across her face where Samuel couldn’t see.
Once the interview video was released, Lucille would definitely get bashed by everyone.
She wanted to see how Lucille would be able to turn things around this time.
Lucille was still in Joseph’s car when the reporters, who had received the money, edited the video and
came up with a title.
She asked, “Do you have any updates on the search?”
Culver, who was driving in the front row, immediately answered, “We have already gone through all the
people who don’t have identification cards in the cities that you listed. We are currently checking them
one by one to see if there is a girl named Molly among them. It is estimated that it will take a few
days.”
Lucille nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Quickly, he said, “You’re too kind. This is just our responsibility.”
She looked down and didn’t say anything else.
Suddenly, she heard Joseph say, “Are you free tomorrow? Grandma wants to see you.”
Grandma? Madam Collins?
Lucille was stunned for a moment. Before she could respond, she saw a faint grin on Joseph’s face.
Slowly, he added, “Grandma said that she wanted to ask you what kind of wedding you would like in
person.”
However, that wasn’t all. Madam Collins was so happy over getting a granddaughter-in-law overnight
that she hadn’t gotten any sleep. She also gathered the whole family to discuss what name they would
choose for their future children.
She was already thinking so far ahead in the future.
Lucille was speechless.
She thought for a moment and responded, “Okay. What time tomorrow?”
“I’ll pick you up at ten o’clock in the morning,” he stated.
“No problem.”
Lucille readily agreed.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the new villa that she had bought.
The two of them got out of the car one after the other.
Lucille uttered, “Thank you for sending me back. Goodbye.”
She did not intend to invite him in. After all, the relationship between her and Joseph was only part of a
deal. Putting on an act in front of others was to be expected, but there was no need for them to
interfere in each
other’s lives.
Joseph raised his eyebrows. Before he could even complain about how she was drawing such a clear
line between them, he saw that the door of the villa was suddenly opened. Madam Dahlia was stunned
when she saw him. Then, she offered him a warm invitation.
“Mr. Joseph? Oh, you’re here, Mr. Joseph. Please come in. I’ve made some food!”
A smile blossomed on Madam Dahlia’s face like a flower.
Joseph smiled. He walked past Lucille, into the villa. He also politely added, “How can I decline such a
kind offer? In that case, I’ll have to trouble you all.”
Lucille didn’t know what to say.
Culver, who was standing behind him, wanted to slap himself, but he quickly followed after them for
fear that he would be locked outside the door by Lucille.
Lucille shook her head helplessly and walked into the villa.
