Chapter 247
What Happened
Samuel patted Joanne's back gently and coaxed her for a while. When he saw that she finally calmed down, he glanced at the sheets and breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Joanne, tell me. What happened? Weren't you in the back garden? Why are you here?" Joanne sobbed. She remembered how helpless and desperate she had felt when she was dragged into the room by the man. It was Lucille who had ignored her past wrongdoings and kicked the door open to save her.
Joanne bit her lip and shook his head, saying, "Don't ask, Samuel. Anyway... it's because I was careless."
"Really?"
Samuel obviously did not believe it, but since Joanne refused to say it, he did not intend to ask.
Zoey stood to the side with a glint in her eyes.
No. Joanne must have been hiding something. From what she knew about Joanne, she was an arrogant and capricious little princess. She was definitely not the type of person who could just swallow her anger. Since Joanne refused to say it, Zoey would insinuate things instead.
She stepped forward gracefully and persuaded in a soft voice, "Joanne, this is not a small matter. You must tell the truth for the sake of your reputation. Otherwise, you will be the one suffering." Joanne bit her lip and said nothing.
Zoey sighed. She turned to Samuel and said, "Brother Samuel, Joanne's so young. She must have been scared silly. Even if she doesn't tell us, we can't just let it slide. Besides, there are cameras everywhere in the hotel. If we check the footage, we'll find out what happened."
Hearing that, Samuel was slightly convinced.
This was not a small matter. There was no reason not to investigate.
Besides, he was afraid that Joanne was only refusing to speak because she had been threatened.
Samuel stood up and took out his mobile phone, ready to send someone to the security room to get the surveillance footage.
Joanne was artxious.
If he were to obtain the surveillance footage, wouldn't the things that she wanted to do to Lucille be exposed at the very beginning?
No. She couldn't let her reputation be tarnished like that
Joanne bit his lips and sobbed. "I-It was Lucille!"
was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. Unexpectedly, I bumped into Lucille in the corridor outside. She took me to this room and watched as I was dragged in by that man..." Upon hearing that, Zoey's eyes lit up. She asked, "What happened next, Joanne?"
"Then.... Then, I knocked the man-out. He didn't manage to do anything. I was so scared that I could only keep crying. Joanne sniffed. "After that... you guys showed up." While telling the story, Joanne lowered her head all the way and did not dare to look at Samuel's face, which was completely gloomy.
"Amazing. Amazing, Lucille!"
What Happened
Samuel was so angry that he almost went mad. "I can let go of the fact that she provoked me several times, but she even tried to hurt my sister! This woman is so vicious and cruel!" with Lucille.
With a livid face, Samuel turned around and was about to go settle the sco
However, he was worried that it would be dangerous for the two girls to stay there alone, so he arranged for his bodyguards to send them back.
Lucille stood up and said, "I'll go with you, Samuel! If Lucille really did this, then... as her sister, I'll be far too ashamed to face you and Joanne from now on."
Samuel murmured, "Dummy. What does this have to do with you? It's all because of Lucille's viciousness. I won't let her go!"noveldrama
After that, Samuel asked his bodyguards to take Joanne home while he took Zoey to search for Lucille in the hotel.
His aura was full of murderous intent.
At that moment, Lucille was not in any of the guest rooms. She paid a sum of money to bribe a waiter in the hotel. Only then did the waiter quietly tell her where Yoshua was locked up. He was in a utility room in the corner of the hotel, which was specially used for storage.
In the utility room, Yoshua's hands and feet were tied up, and his mouth was stuffed with a rag.
The person Howard had ordered to watch over Yoshua was his stepson, Timothy.
With a proud look on his face, Timothy kicked Yoshua and arrogantly taunted, "Hey, aren't you the second son of the Jules family? Why do you look like such a pathetic dog, then?"
