Chapter 41
Lucille’s lips curled into a smile.
She didn’t expect that his sharp tongue could be even more dangerous than her own.
When she looked up again, she saw that Joseph was already in front of her. He reached out to her and
said, “Let’s go home.”
Lucille hesitated for two seconds. She knew that he was trying to help her out, so she ced her hand
in his palm.
“Okay.”
The two left hand in hand.
However, after taking just a few steps, she heard Zoey’s voice from behind. “Lucille, Samuel is going to
be here soon. You still can’t let go of him, right? Tell that to his face, then! After all… he is someone you
have loved for so many years.”
Clearly, she was trying to indirectly tell Joseph that there was someone in Lucille’s heart and that he
would be making a fool of himself if he married her.
Joseph raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Lucille suddenlyughed. Without looking
back, she replied, “Zoey, I really hope you and Samuel stay together for a hundred years.”
She truly meant it.
They were such a good match for each other, after all. Even their narcissism and self-confidence were
exactly
the same!
They had better stick together forever instead of separating and hurting others.
After that, Lucille and Joseph got into the car. Culver closed the door and drove away.
Zoey stood where she was. Her face, which had always maintained a well-behaved and pure
expression, twisted due to anger. Even her eyes were full of great hatred.
Then, she turned around without hesitation and happened to see the reporter who had just interviewed
Lucille emerging with a camera.
Zoey stepped forward. She grabbed the reporter’s arm, and ordered, “Delete all of the footage that
you’ve just taken of me!”
Those reporters happened toe just as she was being beaten by that woman. If a video like that got
out, it would be horrible for her image and reputation.
The reporter spread out his hands. “No can do.”
“I’ll give you money. Two hundred thousand dors,” she offered.
“That’s too little, Miss Johnson. There are so many of us.”
“Five hundred thousand!” Lucille gritted her teeth. “That’s my limit. If you won’t take it, then don’t even
think about earning a single cent!”
The reporter and the photographer behind him looked at each other and finally agreed. “Deal.”
Then, they deleted all of the footage of Zoey right in front of her.
Only then did she feel a little more satisfied. With a glint in her eyes, she pointed at the section of the
footage where the reporters had interviewed Lucille and said, “I’ll add another hundred thousand for
you to publish this section and stir up some drama! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what to do or say,
do I?”
What she needed to do was turn the public against Lucille.
Bing a public enemy was the only thing worse than being criticized.
The reporter instantly understood and was a little surprised at the same time. He didn’t expect the
seemingly innocent and lovely adopted daughter of the Jules family to have such a cruel nature…
Naturally, money was power. He immediately agreed. “Deal!”
Lucille gave him the money in a straightforward manner. After the reporters left, Samuel finally arrived.
“Are you okay, Zoey?” he asked.
He looked Zoey up and down before finally rxing.
Lucille shook her head, but her eyes gradually turned red. “Samuel…”

She threw herself into Samuel’s arms and told him what had just happened at the gate of the police
station. She did not mention that she was the one who had called those parents and instead kept
pushing the me onto Lucille
“I-I just want to help my ssmates. I didn’t want Lucille to be criticized by others, so I tried to give her
some advice. I didn’t expect that she would pin the me directly onto me and even let the angry
parents hurt me…. Sob! It hurts, Samuel.”
She rolled up her sleeves. There was a scratch on her arm and a bruise.
Samuel was furious, and his face went dark.
“No. I can’t let you suffer like this. Let’s go and get even with her now!” he dered.
