Chapter 125

Backlight

As soon as Lucille stretched out her hand, the tiny cat jumped into her arms. It was adorable and lovable. Lucille stroked the little cat's chin. Her expression softened and her lips. curved into a faint smile.

The car started moving, and the scenery on both sides of the road swept past it.

Bright rays of morning sunlight spilled in from the outside, enveloping Lucille.

Under the sun, her profile was calm, and her long eyelashes were

fluttering like butterflies. Joseph side-eyed her and saw that her skin was as white as snow. It was smooth like jade and clear like porcelain. From his point of view, he could see the cute fluff on her face in the glow of the backlight.

When the luxury car was about to reach the school, Lucille let go of the kitten and turned her head, saying, "Joseph, I might have to delay treating you for two days."

The reason why she was going to school was to ask Master Walton for a few days off.

She had to make a trip to Talford Village.

Joseph came back to his senses and did not ask anything. All he said was, "Okay."

Soon, the car came to a steady stop.

Culver, who was driving in the front row, nodded respectfully. "We're here, Mrs. Collins."

"Thank you."

Lucille got out of the car and strode toward the school.

After passing through the quiet path, Lucille headed straight for the classrooms.

However, she couldn't find Master Walton. Instead, she ran into Jenny and Zoey, who were in the sports field, as well as a group of followers behind them.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Looks like it's Mrs. Collins!"

Upon seeing Lucille, Jenny immediately stood in front of her. In a mysterious tone, she taunted, "Tsk, tsk. I heard about the engagement party on Saturday. It was such a grand event! We haven't even congratulated you on being able to worm your way into the high-class Collins family."

Lucille remained calm and replied, "Thank you."

She seemed as if she didn't care about the provocation at all.

Jenny choked and felt as if her attack had been completely useless.

She couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment. Without thinking, she snapped, "What are you showing off for? You're just riding on Mr. Joseph's coattails! Besides, everyone in Shein City knows that no matter how talented Mr. Joseph is, he doesn't have much time left. So what if you become a part of the Collins family? In the end, you'll just be a widow."

Under the shade of a nearby tree, Joseph had an amused look on his face.

Obviously, he had heard all of it.

Culver's face was livid. He couldn't help asking, "Mr. Joseph, do you want. me to teach the daughter of the Zanes family a lesson?"

Before Joseph had a chance to respond, he heard a clear and loud slap resound through the sports field.

Smack!

A handprint appeared on Jenny's face.

Lucille slowly withdrew her hand and steadily stated, "Your breath stinks.

Don't talk to me."

"How dare you hit me?"

Jenny was furious. She raised her hand and summoned the group of followers behind her. She ordered, "Beat her! Beat her to death!"

The group of followers did not dare to hesitate and immediately. surrounded Lucille.

She was clearly outnumbered.

Lucille, who was surrounded by the crowd, merely raised her eyebrows. There was not the slightest hint of fear on her face. Instead, she laughed and casually muttered, "That's right. I've never bullied anyone, so... you'd better come at me together." Those words showed that she was the epitome of defiance.noveldrama

Jenny began cackling from rage, then gave an order. "Go!"

The fight began, and the group of followers began aggressively charging at Lucille.

"Don't be like this. We're all classmates here. We can talk this out. You don't have to get physical!" Zoey began stamping her feet anxiously. She wanted to stop them but was pulled back by Jenny.

"Don't worry, Zoey. This time, it has nothing to do with you! I just want to teach her a lesson so that she can know who's really in charge of this school," Jenny muttered.

She roared, "Get her!"

Her followers immediately made their move.

Under the shade of the tree, Culver was a little worried.

""Mr. Joseph, do you want me to go and help Mrs. Collins?"

"There's no need." Joseph chuckled. There was a hint of tenderness in his

eyes as he added, "She's having quite a bit of fun."
