Chapter 147

Bernard shook his head.

Originally, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. The reason why he was there was that he heard something had happened to Joanne. He wanted to use that as a reason to come over and see if he could find the girl who he had confronted the night before.

Unexpectedly, the moment he arrived, he heard Samuel ordering someone to tie Lucille up.

All of a sudden, he felt that Lucille was a little pitiful.

So much so that he lost control for a moment and spoke up.

Bernard turned around indifferently and left.

Samuel gritted his teeth. He couldn't afford to embarrass

himself.

He had already given the order. If he asked the bodyguards to come back, it would seem like he was afraid of Bernard. However, if he insisted that they tie up Lucille, he would inevitably get into a conflict with Bernard in the future. After hesitating for a few seconds, Samuel decided to stick with it. "Go. Bring Lucille here!"

Injured

The bodyguards were about to go out after hearing the order when Master Walton unex, ectedly returned with a kit of

medicine on his back.

Samuel could only suppress the anger in his heart and politely

say to Master Walton, "Master Walton, my sister is injured. Please treat her wounds."

"Okay."

Master Walton nodded and went into the room to clean up

Joanne's wound and realign her bones.

The process was a little painful, but Master Walton began before Joanne could even react. She screamed in pain, but after doing it, her sprained ankle was fully recovered. Her movement was not affected at all. "Oh. That's it?"

Joanne pursed her lips in disappointment.

She had wanted to use her injury as an excuse to order Lucille

around.

Seeing that Joanne was fine, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief and then personally escorted Master Walton out of the room. He did not forget to respectfully state, "Thank you very much,

Master Walton."

"It's nothing." Master Walton wiped his hands and walked out. Casually, he asked, "Your sister was fine in the morning,

though. How did she suddenly get hurt like this?"

At the mention of that, Samuel felt a burst of anger and could not help but grumble, "It's all because of Lucille. I don't know how, but she tricked my sister into going to the backside of the mountain. That's why Joanne sprained her ankle and got. injured." "That's not right."

Master Walton paused and corrected him in a low voice. "This morning, Joanne and Jenny came looking for Lucille together. They said that there was a villager who needed to get a check- up, so they asked Lucille to go with them. I was there at the time, and I asked Lucille to go with them."

Samuel was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?"

"Yes," Master Walton affirmed. "If Joanne was injured because she went to the back of the mountain as you said, then you should wonder what they are trying to cover up, Mr. Samuel."

With that said, Master Walton sneered and continued, "In my opinion, the reason why they lied and lured Lucille away was that they were trying to target her. In the end, however, it ended up backfiring on them."

Master Walton left with a flick of his sleeves.

Samuel stood where he was, and his expression kept fluctuating.

Did that mean he was the one who had wrongly accused Lucille of what had happened that day?

However, when he thought of the way Lucille had kicked him

today, Samuel's face turned ashen.

He had to stop thinking about it. It was like he could feel the pain all over again.noveldrama

Lucille did not know what was going on at the base.

She had just finished her dinner and was slowly going upstairs to return to her room.

That night, she was going to visit the old house again.

Walking to the door, Lucille inadvertently glanced at the building across from her and found that all the lights on the third floor were on. There were also many villagers gathering in the yard as if they were discussing something important. Everyone had a happy look on their faces. She had a bad feeling.

Lucille stopped in her tracks.

Just then, Eason came to give her some fruits. Lucille casually questioned, "Do you know what they're doing over there?"

"I do!"

Eason answered obediently, "My mother said that a rich man. staying across from us is interested in developing Talford Village and wants to buy all the land. Right now, the village. head is talking to him about the demolition. If it's a success, we're going to move away!" As a child, he was inexplicably excited about moving.

Lucille's heart sank to the bottom of her chest bit by bit.

She didn't expect Bernard to buy the entirety of Talford Village.

If that were the case, then her grandmother's old house which had been empty for over ten years would be regarded as unowned property. If Bernard was going to buy all of the land, then that naturally included her grandmother's house.

When the time came, the house would belong to Bernard, and he could do whatever he wanted to find what he was looking for.

Lucille gritted her teeth.

No.

For her, it wasn't just an abandoned house. It also contained most of her grandmother's memories. If those traces of life were erased, she would never be able to find them again...

Lucille took a deep breath and took out her phone. Her fingertips hovered above Joseph's name for a second.
