Chapter 101
Engagement Party
Lucille almost asked him why out of instinct.
Despite that, before she could do so, she remembered that...
Her engagement party with Joseph was on Saturday.
Over the past few days, Madam Collins had sent out invitations. The news that the two of them were going to get engaged had already spread all over Shein City.
If he was absent, she would become the biggest laughingstock in the city.
That was why Joseph had stated that he would definitely make it back no matter what happened on Friday.
Lucille paused for a moment before changing the subject. "Mrs. Carter called me just now. She said she hopes that I can reconcile with Wayne and convince you to let him go. By the way, I'm a little curious. What did you do to Wayne?" "Nothing much. I just gave him two choices."
Joseph spoke in a very nonchalant manner.
Culver, who was driving in front of them, thought to himself, "Mr. Joseph is telling the truth. He did indeed give Wayne two choices. However, those two choices scared Wayne out of his wits."
That day, Joseph had personally gone to the hospital at noon. Initially, he intended to teach the Carter family a lesson and make them back off.
Unexpectedly, when Joseph got to the hospital, Wayne, who was
pretending to be sick in the intensive care unit, was talking on the phone. and madly insulting Lucille.
Every word he said was so unpleasant that it was grating on the ears.
Joseph nearly burst into laughter.
Without another word, he kicked the door of the ward open.
Engagement Party
The members of the Carter family in the ward were all dumbfounded. They heard Joseph slowly utter, "What a filthy mouth. How about we get rid of that tongue of yours?" After that, Wayne cried for mercy.
In the end, Joseph gave them two choices. One was for Wayne's tongue to be cut off so that he would never be able to say anything filthy again. The other was for the entire Carter family to get out of Shein City. No matter which one they chose, the Carter family would be doomed.
Everything they had was in Shein City. If they were to leave, they would basically be giving up most of their assets. However, if they didn't, then Wayne would have to become mute. That was even more impossible. In the end, Joseph gave them a third option.noveldrama
Wayne could apologize to Lucille and admit to all of the things he had
done before.
That way, Wayne would have to admit that he had caused Lucille's drowning. It was inevitable that he would be put in jail for a few years on the charge of battery.
Culver couldn't help sighing to himself.
Considering Joseph's protective nature, it essentially meant that anyone. who provoked Lucille was dead meat.
However, Joseph didn't tell Lucille any of that.
She didn't take it too seriously, either. After all, considering Joseph's power and background, it was a piece of cake for him to deal with the Carter family. Joseph could be as cruel as he wanted. "That's all, then. I'm hanging up."
Lucille ended the call. It didn't take long for the taxi to finally reach the airport.
After paying the fare, Lucille put on a hat and strode in.
Ennaghiment Party
Lucille blended into the crowd in the lobby where people were coming and
going.
She only carried a black backpack on her back. Her long hair was loose, and the big brim of her hat covered half of her face, revealing only her delicate chin and charming lips..
Along the way, many men's eyes fell on Lucille. They checked her out, and their eyes were still shining with amazement.
Lucille completely ignored them and headed straight for the boarding gate. Her timing was just right, so she boarded the plane right after checking in. The ticket Benjamin bought for her was for the first class. As soon as Lucille found a seat and sat down, she sensed someone sitting next to her.
The man made a phone call as he sat down. He was gently coaxing his girlfriend.
"I'll be back soon, Zoey. Be a good girl.
Lucille side-eyed him, her heart thumping wildly.
What a small world they lived in.
It turned out to be... Samuel!
