Chapter 128

Ran Away While Crying

Culver couldn't help but think to himself, "Is this what they call the tacit understanding between a married couple?" Jenny wailed.

She was so frightened by the look in Joseph's eyes that she stood rooted

to the ground. Then, she knelt down while sobbing.

Lucille moved to dodge her and blandly said, "Get lost."

Jenny seemed to be greatly humiliated. She got up from the ground and ran away while crying.

At that moment, only Samuel and Zoey were left.

Samuel bent over and picked Zoey up from the ground. After that, he was about to leave with a cold face.

Culver stood in front of him and expressionlessly stated, "It seems that you haven't apologized to Mrs. Collins yet, Mr. Gilbert."

Samuel gritted his teeth and coldly replied, "What if I don't?"

Before he knew it, the tables were turned.

Lucille had responded the same way when he asked her to apologize to Zoey.

Right then, it was Samuel's turn.

What goes around comes around.

Culver was still expressionless, but his attitude was firm. "Then you won't be able to leave, Mr. Gilbert."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense.

Zoey held Samuel's arm tightly in fear. With red-rimmed eyes, she said, "Lucille, Samuel didn't mean to make things difficult for you. He was just panicked. If there's anything you're not happy with, I will apologize to you Ron Away While Giyinü.

on his behalf. I'm sorry..."

She knew very well that the more humble she acted, the more Samuel's heart would ache for her.

Similarly, he would hate Lucille even more.

Sure enough, Samuel glared at Lucille, seemingly wanting to eat her up. Then, he held Zoey tightly in his arms and asked with a sullen face, "Are you satisfied? Can we go now?"

Culver glanced at Joseph and saw his indifferent expression. Nobody could tell whether he was happy or angry.

Thus, he replied, "As you wish."

With a gloomy face, Samuel engulfed Zoey in his embrace and walkednoveldrama

away.

Things finally came to an end.

Lucille didn't notice the look of hatred in Samuel's eyes at all. She just stared at the stone that had landed at her feet and couldn't help but be shocked. The stone had been thrown from so far away, but it could hit the back of Samuel's hand accurately. On top of that, Joseph was a sick man. Even an ordinary martial arts practitioner would not be able to hit the mark so accurately.

Lucille raised an eyebrow.

She knew that Joseph was more complicated than he seemed, but she didn't expect him to be so mysterious.

Then again, since she was his ally, there was no need to question him

about it.

Lucille raised her head and looked at the proud and noble man in front of her. She asked, "Why are you looking for me at school?" Finally, she wasn't thanking him.

It was an improvement.

Joseph's lips curled into a smile. He took out her phone and said, "You left your phone in the car."

"Oh. Thank you."

It must have dropped out of her pocket when she was petting the cat. She thought that she had left it at home...

Once she got her phone, Lucille immediately called Master Walton.

Master Walton's face was full of surprise. "So, you're at the sports field, Miss Bambo. I happened to have something to talk to you about. I'll be right there!" After hanging up, Lucille saw that Joseph had yet to leave. She couldn't help but ask, "You're still here, Mr. Joseph. Do you want me to treat you to a meal?" Casually, he replied, "What if I am?"

"Then I owe you." Lucille blinked and innocently continued, "When I'm done with everything, I can consider treating you to a meal."

"Is that a promise?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Joseph chuckled. "I'll be waiting, then."

Whispered Something

Lucille nodded.

""It's a deal."

Joseph gazed at Lucille deeply with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

At that moment, Culver picked up the phone, then leaned forward and whispered something. Joseph's expression did not change, but his aura turned dull.

Watching the two of them leave, Lucille looked away and patiently stood in the same spot as she waited for Master Walton.

Before long, he showed up while panting.

"Miss Bambo, I'm here!"

Watching Mr. Wen running while panting, Lucille was afraid that he would fall apart. She couldn't help but say, "Please slow down, Master Walton..." "It's okay, it's okay. I'm perfectly healthy," he reassured.

Master Walton chuckled. After catching his breath, he hurriedly said, "Miss Bambo, I happen to have something to talk to you about. The upper management of the school had a meeting. They intend to set up a free clinic in the countryside. I will be in charge of your class for this program. We will set off early tomorrow morning!"

"Not interested." Lucille rejected him without hesitation. "I'm looking for you because I would like to trouble you to give me three days off, Master Walton."

"I can do that, but this is a rare opportunity. You can earn points from it, too. It'll directly affect your graduation, he replied.

As soon as Master Walton finished speaking, he saw a faint grin on Lucille's face.

He paused before chuckling.

He forgot that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person.

She was the legendary Bambo! In this field, she had absolute power over everything.

Those points obviously didn't matter to her.

Master Walton sighed. "Miss Bambo, wanted to take this opportunity to learn something from you, but now it seems that I have to wait for the next

time.

Lucille smiled without saying a word.

He took out a pen from his pocket and wrote a request for leave while saying, "The free clinic will be set up quite far away. It's in Talford Village, and it'll take a week to wrap up everything. I might as well just give you the whole week off, Miss Bambo." "Where?" Lucille almost thought that she had misheard. She could not help but ask, "Master Walton, did you just say that the free clinic is located in Talford Village?"

He answered, "Yes. This event was proposed by the Gilbert family. They were going to do charity propaganda for their own company. Somehow, Samuel, the son of the Gilbert family, came to the school in person and discussed the matter with the school leaders. They came to an agreement and decided to take the students of the class to Talford Village and open a

free clinic."

Master Walton went on to complain, "They didn't announce it in advance and only decided on it today. I was in such a hurry that I couldn't even make preparations for it. If not for the fact that the citizens in Talford. Village might be in need of medical treatment, I wouldn't have gone."

At the same time, Lucille received a message on her phone.

Her teacher had announced in the class group that the free clinic would be held the next day. All the students were excited, and soon there was a heated discussion in the group.

Even through the screen, she could feel their anticipation.

Whispered Something

Lucille lowered her gaze. There was only one thing on her mind.

Even if Samuel was going to do charity, why had he chosen Talford Village, which was located so far away from Shein City?

Was it a coincidence or was it on purpose?

Talford Village was her grandmother's hometown. If Samuel had any ulterior motives, was he taking people there in the name of charity in an attempt to conceal his true intentions? For a moment, several thoughts flashed through Lucille's mind.

In the end, Lucille took the paper from Master Walton and tore it to shreds. Plainly, she stated, "Master Walton, you're right. There might really be

people in the town who need medical treatment, so I'll go with you." "Really? That's great!"
