Any Chance to Stop Her
She disregarded the dining etiquette that she had been taught since she was a child and wolfed down the sandwich in front of her. She picked up the glass and drank up all the milk. Then, she got up and said, "I'm full. Take your time."
After saying that, she left quickly and did not give Joseph any chance to stop her.
Was she avoiding him?
Through the floor-length window, Joseph watched Lucille's graceful and straightforward figure walk away. He massaged the space between his eyebrows.
His tone was helpless, yet tinged with a doting aura that even he didn't notice. He mumbled," She's got no conscience."
Lucille took a cab to the station.
She had nothing else to do that day, so she went to see Ronald off.
When Lucille arrived at the station, Ronald was at the entrance with a small black suitcase.
In just a few days, the young man who had gone through all kinds of experiences seemed to have grown up overnight. He had lost much of his youthful appearance. From a distance, his handsome face became a little more determined, and even his eyes were a little gloomy.
Lucille walked over.
At that moment, Ronald was attentively staring at the sign on the side.;
She glanced at it and saw that the advertisement on it contained an aerial view of Shein City. There were also a few small lines briefly introducing the special characteristics of the city.
"I'm sure you're not willing to leave a place that you've been staying in ever since you were young," Lucille remarked with a grin.
Ronald came to his senses. A trace of surprise flashed across his face because Lucille said he wasn't willing, not that he was hesitant.
She saw right through him.
He gave her a smile in return and noncommittally replied, 'A little, but it doesn't matter. I will come back sooner or later."
"Yes, I'm sure you will." Lucille took out some papers from her bag and calmly explained, "There is a detailed description of the various families in Dilsburg and their backgrounds. If you can make use of these people in the future, then do your best It'll be beneficial for you." The stack of papers was very thick, and each sheet was written in great detail. It even included some of the family secrets that the outside world did not know of.
Ronald was slightly shocked.
How did Lucille know so many secrets?

It was as if she had grown up in Dilsburg.
Of course, he did not ask. Just like how Lucille understood what he was thinking, he also knew that she would not answer him.
"There's a card here. It only has five million inside. It'll be your start-up funds." Lucille stuffed the card into Ronald's hand and casually stated, "Every now and then, I'll transfer a sum of money to this card. The passcode is on the back. You can use it however you like. You don't have to save money for my sake." Her tone was totally natural as if five million was nothing much at all.
Even though they had made an agreement, Ronald was still shocked. He could not help but ask, Lucille, aren't you scared?"
"Scared of what?"
Lucille had a puzzled look on her face.
Ronald gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you scared that I'll take your money and run away? Aren't you afraid that I'll fail? What if you give me all these connections and money, and I still fail?"
His voice was anxious and urgent. It was as if the question was coming from his soulnoveldrama
However, Lucille smiled. With confidence and trust, she easily replied, "I believe in you."
Those four words seemed to carry a scorching heat with them.
Ronald's heart felt as if it had been slammed into.
He held back the tears in his eyes. Before Lucille could react, he reached out and gently hugged her. He immediately released her and said, "Then I'll prove you right." After that, he turned and walked toward the pit stop.
With his slender figure, he looked like a crane in a flock of chickens. He was extremely eye-catching.
Every step he took was intensely firm.
Even though he was about to set foot into the prosperous Dilsburg, which he was unfamiliar with, he did not feel embarrassed at all.
Lucille blinked.
She hadn't finished speaking yet. In fact, what she wanted to say was that she believed in him, but if he couldn't do it, she would find someone else who could. However, it seemed that... Ronald misunderstood something. She shook her head and turned to leave.
