Chapter 237
Have to Attend
Lucille smiled and Indifferently said, "I think I can guess, Madam Dahlia. Isn't it just the news that Howard is marrying another woman? There's no need for me to be angry."
Madam Dahlia was slightly stunned. When Lucille mentione Howard, there was no emotion in her eyes.
She couldn't help but feel relieved. Then, she took out an invitation card from her pocket and stated, "Miss, Zoey got the driver to send you an invitation card. She also said that you have to attend." What on earth was Zoey planning?
Lucille took the invitation card and looked at it. She noticed that was going to
be held that weekend, which was rather rushed. She didn't know whether it was because Howard was impatient or because of his new wife's impatience.
She threw the invitation into the trash can. "I'm not going."
She had nothing to do with the Jules family. What reason was there for her to
go?
However, Lucille was a little curious. How could Bernard and Charles allow
Howard to remarry just like that?
Weren't they worried that his new wife would influence him and cause Howard to ruin everything?
Madam Dahlia sighed and indignantly stated, "I heard from the servants of the Jules family that Mr. Jules' new wife brought her son into the family, too. Apparently, Mr. Jules is very generous to his stepson and gives him hundreds of thousands of dollars just like that." What was annoying was that Howard was so kind to his stepson, yet he was disgusted with Lucille, who was his own biological daughter.
How could he be called a father?
Just thinking about it made Madam Dahlia feel as if her blood pressure was rising.
Lucille, on the other hand, didn't care.
People often said that good couldn't exist without bad, and vice versa. It was a blessing for Howard to marry a beautiful lady, but that lady's son was an arrogant, rude man. He even went around bragging that Howard was his stepfather. He was the definition of conceited and dominer g.
Someone like him would make even bigger trouble sooner or later!noveldrama
Lucille shook her head and went to wash her hands.
Soon, it was time for dinner.
A sumptuous dinner was served on the table, and the hot fragrance floated around in the dining room.
Just as everyone was preparing to eat, the sound of a car's engine could be heard from outside the villa. Joseph had returned.
*Joseph!"
Austin ran over happily as if he wanted to be praised. He blurted, "Lucille and I went car racing today, Joseph. Guess what? Not only did I win, but I also learned a lot of new skills! I'll show you one day, Joseph!"
He kept talking, but Joseph was only focused on one thing he had said.
"Lucille?"
Joseph had a fake grin on his face. "Hm?"
There was a hint of coldness in the air.
Austin immediately grew submissive and corrected himself. "I-I mean, my distinguished sister-in-law."
"That's more like it," Joseph muttered.
He strode into the dining room with his long and slender legs and sat down. beside Lucille in a natural manner. She could sense his presence, but she remained calm and composed.
All the dishes were served.
Lucille picked up her utensils.
Have to Attend
Molly and Austin sat together. They were practically ighting to get some of the drumsticks.
What a bunch of kids.
Lucille ignored them and ate her own food quietly.
However, Joseph had personally prepared the dishes for her. He said
thoughtfully, "Bobo, try this. See if you like it."
Lucille paused for a moment. Since she didn't want to waste anything, she ate
1. it.
Joseph picked up food from another dish. With a smile on his face, he murmured, "Eat more."
In just a few minutes, the food in Lucille's bowl had piled up into a hill.
On the opposite side of the dining table, Molly and Austin ended their fight with a draw. Either way, there were two drumsticks, one for each of them, so there was no need to snatch each other's food. However, when they saw Joseph intimately putting food into Lucille's plate, the chicken drumsticks in their hands suddenly look
unappetizing.
They were supposed to be having a meal. Why were they suddenly third-wheeling?
Lucille's face flushed and she couldn't help but turn to look at Joseph. She raised her hand and said, "I have my own hands. You don't have to take the food for me."
