    What a clever n.


    The corner of her mouth Lucille’s mouth twitched and she sneered. “My surname is Jules, while yours


    is Johnson. We have nothing to do with each other. How dare you call yourself my sister?”


    Zoey’s eyes darkened. In disappointment, she said, “Lucille, I know you hate me, but we grew up


    together. From the day Dad adopted me, we are sisters, whether you admit it or not.”


    “It seems that you’re thick-skinned, but you have a terrible memory,” Lucille stated tly. “I’ve severed


    my ties with your family, so stop trying to act like we’re close. You sound ridiculous.”


    “I know you’re still angry, so let’s not talk about that first. Zoey sat down and sighed, acting like a kind


    and tolerant sister as much as possible.


    Even the parents beside her shook their heads, muttering that Lucille didn’t know what was good for


    her.


    bear Zoey added, “Lucille, the people who were sent to the detention center are all our ssmates.


    Even if they have done something wrong, they recognize their mistakes. Do you really want them to go


    to jail? How can you it?”


    “Hear me out. Let them go, okay? When they’re released, they will definitely thank you. We can still


    learn and improve together, just like we used to,” she added.


    Learn and improve together, she said.


    Lucille couldn’t help butugh. Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Putting everything else aside, Zoey was certainly talented when it came to manipting people. The


    original host would have already been nodding her head in agreement by then.


    Even the parents around them sighed. “If Lucille were half as sensible as her sister, she wouldn’t have


    caused my


    child to suffer in prison.”


    That’s not true. At the end of the day, it’s just that one of them is kind-hearted, while the other is selfish


    and narrow-headed!” One of the parents even rolled their eyes at Lucille.


    Zoey immediately piped up, “Don’t say that, everyone. My sister is very kind. She is definitely not the


    kind of person who is unreasonable, selfish, and cold-blooded!”


    It sounded like she was defending Lucille, but in reality, she was digging a deeper grave for her.


    Zoey was putting her up on a pedestal, which meant that Lucille would be selfish and cold-blooded if


    she didn’t agree to let the students go!


    Lucille’s expression didn’t even change when she heard those words.


    She opened her mouth, and her voice was rxed and casual. In an unyielding tone, she replied, “No. I


    refuse topromise.”


    Her words were loud and clear.


    All the parents were furious. They had already begged her for mercy, but unexpectedly, she was still


    unwilling to let go.


    “What? Do you want us to kneel down and bow to you before you are willing topromise?”


    “We give youpensation and apologize to you, yet you still refuse. We humble ourselves and beg


    you, and you still don’t agree. Let me give you some advice. Things will be easier for you in the future if


    you stop being so stubborn. You’re so hell-bent on making an enemy out of everyone. If you ever get


    into trouble someday, everyone will hit you while you’re down!”


    Almost all the parents present criticized Lucille and attacked her together.


    Turning away so that nobody could see her face, Zoey’s lips curled into a smug smile.


    That was the result she wanted.


    Even if Lucille refused to let them go, Zoey would still gain the reputation of being kind and gracious.


    As for Lucille… she would be the target of everyone.


    Zoey quietly nced at her mobile phone The reporters she had invited would arrive in a few minutes it


    was a good opportunity for everyone in Shein City to see how much people hated the abandoned


    daughter of the Jules family!


    Lucille had be themon enemy


    Amidst all the scolding. Lucille just listened quietly


    It was not until the parents had finished scolding her that she opened her mouth and stated, “As


    parents, I can understand why you are worried about your children. But don’t you want to know why


    they would do something so terrible to me when I have nothing against them?”


    The students involved were all grown adults. It was impossible for them not to know the consequences


    The parents anxiously asked, “What’s the reason, then?”


    “You’ll have to ask her.”


    Lucille’s cold gaze fell on Zoey’s body. Word by word, she dered, “They did it all for Zoey’s sake!”
