Chapter 157

Half-Smile

Joseph's heart skipped a beat. He took a step closer to Lucille and asked with a half-smile, "Do you want me to delete the photo?" ""Yes!"

What a loaded question.

How could she allow him to keep such an ugly picture?

Joseph nodded without hesitation. Then, he changed the topic and said with a mischievous grin, "In that case... Say something nice about me, and I'll give you the camera." She knew it wouldn't be that easy!

Lucille took a deep breath. With hatred in her tone, she grumbled, "If you keep doing this, I'm going to commit domestic violence!"

After saying that, both of them were stunned.

Domestic violence?

It was a slip of the tongue by Lucille. Joseph was inexplicably

happy to hear it, though.

"Bobo, it seems that you're well aware that we're husband and

wife."

Lucille was at a loss for words.

She had just dug her own grave.

Hall Sour

She blushed and immediately turned to leave.

Joseph stood where he was and looked at her silly yet

adorable expression saved in the camera. He could not help but smile.

It was such a precious and rare moment. He was reluctant to delete it.

Lucille dashed down the stairs. It wasn't until she felt a gentle

breeze that her face finally cooled down.noveldrama

Just now, she had fallen right into Joseph's trap.

He asked her to say something nice, and she subconsciously thought of those extremely intimate pet names, like calling him her husband or something like that... Thus, she had spoken without thinking and accidentally mentioned domestic violence.

It was too embarrassing.

Sitting on the chair, Lucille finally calmed down.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from outside the yard. Lucille thought that someone was coming to deliver

something. She looked up and saw Joanne and Jenny walking

1. in.

Hmph.

What were they up to?.

Lucille crossed her arms in front of her chest, a faint grin on

her face.

Hall Sonde

The thugs sent by Jenny's father had been sent to the police station by Bernard. She didn't know whether Sebastian. threatened them or promised them greater benefits, but those thugs ended up insisting that they wanted to rob her, which was why they got into a conflict.

Because the robbery didn't succeed, nor was there any serious harm done to her, the charges against those thugs were very small. However, those thugs didn't have clean records in the first place. Instead, they got sentenced to 15 years because of other charges. It was precisely because it didn't involve the Zanes family that Jenny hadn't learned her lesson. She was still arrogant.

After stepping into the courtyard with Joanne, the first thing Jenny said was, "Lucille, do you think we just don't exist? This free clinic is obviously a product of everyone's hard work. Now, these villagers call you a miracle doctor. How are you not ashamed to take all of the credit for yourself?"

"That's right!" Joanne was also dissatisfied. "This charity clinic was organized by the Gilbert family. If these foolish people are going to thank someone, they should thank the Gilbert family! Who gave you the right to show off in front of everyone?"

One of them was saying that Lucille was stealing the credit,

and the other said that she had won the favor of others.

Lucille was about to laugh from fury. Based on what they were saying, they basically didn't want her to do anything at all. That wasn't true, though. Even if she hadn't done anything, they still wouldn't have stopped hating on her brainlessly.

Lucille leaned back on her chair and muttered, "First of all, I've never thought of taking credit for it. I'm just doing what I

should do. Second, since it's a charity clinic organized by the Gilbert family, I suppose I'll have to trouble the Gilbert family to donate all the resources that they said they would."

With a faint smile on her face, Lucille deliberately emphasized the word charity.

Because of the Gilbert family's charity clinic, the shares of their company skyrocketed in just a few days.

People in the outside world all praised Samuel, saying that he was very generous. He was not only handsome but also broad-minded. They also said that Joanne, the daughter of a rich family, truly had it hard. Even though she had to go to a poor and remote place, she didn't kick up a fuss at all, and she was apparently kind and benevolent.

Since they had achieved their goal, they gained a lot of

publicity and earned a lot of money. In that case, wouldn't it be appropriate for them to keep their word and honestly donate everything that they had promised to the public?

Maintaining her grin, she continued, "If that happens, the citizens of Talford Village will definitely thank the Gilbert

family for their generosity. Miss Joanne, what do you think?"

Innocent and Harmless

Joanne straightened her neck and refused to show weakness." Of course. As if I need you to tell me what the Gilbert family should do."

"Good, then. We're going back tomorrow, so I hope your

promise can be fulfilled today. Otherwise, the good reputation of the Gilbert family might not last," Lucille replied.

She smiled, her clear and alluring gaze looking innocent and harmless.

However, Joanne suddenly shivered.

Beside her, Jenny could not help rolling her eyes when she saw that Lucille had convinced Joanne in just a few words. She raised his voice and thundered, "What are you so proud of, Lucille? Even if you've contributed the most in this free clinic,, so what? We're all getting full marks, and you're the only one who got zero!"

Lucille shook her head. She looked at Jenny as if she was staring at an idiot. There was a hint of pity in her eyes.

Jenny was stunned and angrily demanded, "Lucille, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. I just feel sorry for you."

It was the truth.

Lucille twitched the corner of her mouth and casually added, Not only do I feel sorry for you, but I also feel sorry for your

teacher. You're a medical student, but all you care about are calculating scores. Isn't that sad?"

Was Jenny going to weigh the pros and cons every single time. she was faced with a life-or-death scenario and having to treat patients? Would she first calculate whether she could benefit

from it?

It was ridiculous.

No wonder Master Walton felt that they were hopeless.

It was the truth.

Jenny laughed exaggeratedly and clicked her tongue. "What are you acting so high and mighty for, Lucille? You're enjoying the praise of these stupid villagers, aren't you? Don't tell me you think that you're really a great doctor who can save the world just because they call you a miracle doctor! Don't you know your worth? How funny!"

Lucille began digging her ears. She did not intend to waste any more time on someone so stupid.

No matter how much she told Jenny, she would still remain.

stubborn in her views.

There was no point.

However, when Jenny saw that Lucille did not say anything, she became even more worked up. Sarcastically, she said, Hey, if you don't say anything, then you're admitting it. I'm right, aren't I? You have your own selfish motives. How dare you try to teach me a lesson?"

Lucille was leisurely basking in the sun. She was determined

to tune Jenny.out.

Jenny was full of rage. She wanted to say something, but Culver suddenly appeared and stated with a cold face, "My Mr. Joseph said that it was too noisy downstairs. If Miss Zanes continues to make noise and act rude to Mrs. Collins, then... we'll make the Zanes family disappear from Shein City."

Even the wind froze for a moment.

There was silence all around, and an invisible cold sense of killing intent pervaded the air.

Jenny's heart skipped a beat. She was so frightened by Culver's last sentence that he took a step back.

It was Joseph saying that, and he was a man of his word.

Getting rid of the Zanes family would be a piece of cake.

Jenny's face was pale. In an instant, she didn't dare to make a

sound.

She looked around and found that Joanne had left a long time ago. She must have gone to tell her brother about the donation. Jenny was alone and helpless. Her body trembled, and he immediately ran out of the yard and fled quickly.

Culver retracted his cold expression, turned to Lucille, and respectfully asked, "Mrs. Collins, Mr. Joseph wanted to ask if we should make the Gilbert family and the Zanes family disappear."

"No need."

Lucille rejected him immediately. As she spoke, she glanced

upstairs and saw that Joseph was not on the balcony. She heaved a sigh of relief and indifferently continued, "I will settle my own matters." "Understood!"

Culver bowed and answered politely.

"By the way..." Lucille seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Have you found Mr. Joseph's herbs? How many have you found?"

"We've only found one. There's no news..." Culver lowered his voice as he spoke. He was a little nervous as he murmured, "I'd like to ask you something, Mrs. Collins. If we can't find all the herbs, are you sure you can cure Mr. Joseph's illness?" Claim Bonus For Free Every Day>>
