Chapter 73
Before she coulde back to her senses, a tall figure suddenly blocked her view.
With his shadow engulfing her, his face was devilish in the backlight.
*…Bobo?” Joseph let out a lowugh. It was as if he had recited the name many times in his heart. In
the end, he said slowly. “What a cute nickname.”
Lucille restrained herself and decided not to argue with him. She could only say, “You’re here to thank
me, aren’t you? Don’t bother. Just give me some money.”
She had treated him. Although it was not enough to remove all the remaining toxins in his body, at the
very least, he no longer had to suffer that much.
It was reasonable for him to pay her for the treatment.
“Alright.” Joseph raised his brows slightly and agreed. “Coincidentally, I already had something to give
you, so I’ll just give it to you along with the treatment fees.”
After that, he looked back and Culver, who was standing not far away. Culver understood and
immediately stepped forward with the items in his hands.
There was a transfer agreement as well as a limited edition ck card.
The agreement included more than a dozenpanies, all kinds of real estate, and even half of the
shares of the Collins family. Whenbined, they added up to nearly half of thend in Shein City.
Right then, her name was written on the agreement.
Not to mention, the ck card probably contained an unimaginable amount of money.
Lucille nced at him and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”
That was way too much for a treatment fee.
Joseph’s lips curled into a smile as he met Lucille’s doubtful gaze. His cheeky eyes sparkled as he
said, “This is a betrothal gift.”
Those words gently floated into her ears.
Lucille was stunned for a long while.
A betrothal gift?
What kind of betrothal gift was that?
Just as she was about to retort, Joseph cut her off. “Our engagement party is this Saturday, and you’re
my fiancée. Since we’re getting married openly, it’s only natural for me to give you a betrothal gift.”
Lucille gave him a half-smile. “Is this inclusive of our deal?”
She emphasized thest word.
It was simply a deal.
Joseph had a casual grin on his face. “Bobo, since you’ve got medical knowledge, you should know
that I won’t be able to live for long. These are betrothal gifts for you as well as the reward you deserve
for this deal.” The implication was that if he really died one day, her title as Mrs. Collins might be a
curse instead of a blessing.
When the time came, the wealth and assets he had left behind could at least give her a foothold in
Shein City. Lucille’s gaze was indifferent. To be honest, she was a little surprised. She did not expect

Joseph to be so meticulous that he even nned a way out for her.
Even so…
“You won’t die.”
Lucille continued, “I’ll take the treatment fee, but there’s no need for a betrothal gift. Also, here’s a card
that was sent by Madam Collins. She said it was a gift tomemorate our first meeting. I’ll return it to
you.”
She handed over the card that Madam Collins had given her, and then ripped out one of the pages
from the
transfer agreement. It was probably some random shop lot or property. Either way, she didn’t take a
close look
at it
“Anyway, I’ll be taking this as the treatment fee”
Lucille shook the paper in her hand and was about to leave when she remembered something. She
smiled and said, “I’m counting on you to help me clean up the mess, Mr. Joseph.”
She was going to be busy for two days, so she wouldn’t be able to deal with Wayne for the time being.
On top of that, Joseph held immense power in Shein City. He was the perfect one for the job.
That was also one of the reasons why she was willing to cooperate with him.
It would be a loss if she didn’t ride on his coattails when he was so influential.
