Chapter 254

Add Fuel to the Fire

Watching Yoshua drive away, Culver couldn't help asking. "Mr. Joseph, what is Yoshua going to do? Howard is still his father, after all. Will he really watch as Howard goes bankrupt?"

"My guess is that... he's probably going to add fuel to the fire."

The smile on his face was full of hidden meaning.

Speaking of which, among the three sons of the Jules family, Bernard was equivalent to a rock. He was completely indifferent toward everything. On top of that, he had secretly developed his own method of making money early on, so he was already very rich. Because of that, he didn't care about the Jules family's insignificant assets whatsoever.

Although Yoshua was a traitor who had always been reckless, he still cared about their brotherhood deep down. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disobeyed Howard's will and tried to stop Timothy from legally becoming a part of the family. Only Charles, who was a simple-minded fool, was successfully coaxed by Howard. He was way too naive,

He even sided with an outsider to pin the blame on Yoshua, but he never thought about how it was their mother who had given the Jules family its assets while she was still alive. It was ridiculous for Howard's new wife and her son to inherit it. Culver shook his head and couldn't help complaining, "Why is Howard so keen to raise another man's child?"

First, it was Zoey, who he doted on more than his biological daughter.

Now, it was Timothy, whose status had already surpassed Yoshua's

It was outrageous.

Joseph got up in a nonchalant manner and walked out.

The kitten, who was walking gracefully on the ground, gave a meow and then jumped up energetically looking like a spoiled child who wanted a hug.

Joseph scooped the cat up into its arms. When he noticed that it had gotten a little heavier, he couldn't help petting its head and remarking with a smile, "It's been well-fed."

Culver immediately replied, "Every time the servants feed it, it goes over to Mrs. Collins' place and begs her for food. It's been eating more than usual lately. It's finally growing fatter."

Joseph had picked the kitten up off the roadside over a month ago. At the time, it was stuck in the rain. The tiny cat, which wasn't even a month old, was hiding on the side of the road. Its voice was weak, and it was as pitiful as it could be. After being brought home, the servants in the villa fed it every day, which made its fur shine. It looked especially healthy.

""Meow, meow...

The cat meowed, its big and round eyes looking clear and pure.

Joseph scratched its head and asked, "You want to see your other owner, huh? In that case, I'll take you there."

With that, he strode upstairs with his long and slender legs and walked toward Lucille's room...

The corner of Culver's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but complain to himself, "Mr. Joseph is

AL

becoming more and more shameless..."

In the bedroom upstairs, Lucille had just taken a shower. Before she could even finish drying her hair, she heard a knock on the door.

Lucille wiped her hair as she walked over to open the door.

What came into sight was the cute and adorable face of a cat, with its ears standing upright and big round eyes. It was unbelievably cute! ""Meow!"

The kitten cried out in a cute voice.

Joseph took the opportunity to enter Lucille's room and calmly sat down on the small couch. He completely made himself at home.

Lucille picked up the little cat patiently. She didn't mind Joseph's attitude, either. She simply questioned, "What did you say to Yoshua? Did you piss him off?"

When Yoshua was driving away, she saw him leave from upstairs.

However, when she thought about it, it seemed unlikely.

Considering Yoshua's personality, he wasn't the type to leave gloomily. It was more likely that he would bring the roof down.

Jóseph raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lucille calmly. With a faint grin, he answered, "I told him that as your fiance, I will take good care of you and that the engagement between us is serious."

Lucille went silent. Her hand froze for almoment, but she quickly returned to normal. She calmly stated, "I see. That's good, then."

It was agreed that would put on an act in front of other people. They were supposed to help each other/ and benefit from it.

It was inevitable that they would have to tell white lies like that.

Joseph continued, "I also told Yoshua that Howard and the Gilbert family's big project is about to be completed, but there are many pitfalls in the project. If even a tiny accident happens, Howard will be forced to apply for bankruptcy." "I see."

Didn't Intend to Leave

Lucille's expression did not change. Her tone grew even more indifferent.

It had nothing to do with her. If she had to say something, it would be that she wanted to fan the flames.

The two of them chatted for a while. Seeing that Joseph didn't intend to leave, Lucille couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Joseph, it's getting late. It's already 11 p.m."

"Yes, I know." Joseph leaned lazily on the sofa with a subtle smile on his handsome and flawless face. His eyes were filled with something that Lucille could not understand.

Even though it was so late, he still wanted to stay in her room and wouldn't leave.

"I'm going to sleep."noveldrama

Lucille immediately ordered him to leave.

Joseph stood up and approached her.

Lucille thought that he was going to take the kitten back, so she petted its head and was about to return it to him. Unexpectedly, the moment she lowered her head, a light kiss landed on the space between her eyebrows. "Good night."

Joseph chuckled and left the room before Lucille could react.

She wiped her forehead. It was the second time he had done that!

They had agreed not to engage in any intimate behavior, but that b*stard had taken advantage of her twice!

There was finally a crack in Lucille's usually calm expression.

Viciously, she grumbled, "Jerk!"

The little cat in her arms also meowed twice, as if it was echoing Lucille's words.

Indeed.

Lucille stroked its head and couldn't help laughing. "So you think the same. How obedient." "Meow, meow meow."

It wasn't like the cat had any bad intentions, after all. All it wanted was to eat fish.

The next morning...

After breakfast, Lucille headed straight for school.

She hadn't

to school for a few days. The leave she applied for had ended a long time ago. If she didn't go, she might get even more marks deducted.

Lucille parked her car in the parking lot.

Most of the students in the private school were rich, so there was a parking lot just for the students.

Lucille got out of her car and walked in the direction of the classroom.

On her way there, she happened to run into Master Walton, who was walking out.

Didn't tend to Leave

When he saw Lucille, he hurriedly said, "Miss Bambo, come perform a check-up with me. There's a tricky problem that you need to treat personally!"

"What's the problem?"

"I can't say for sure. It's very serious, especially since the patient who needs to be treated this time has a special identity. I can't refuse them. Come with me, Miss Bambo. Your presence will give me confidence." Master Walton's face was full of sincerity.

Lucille did not think much of it and agreed immediately.

Back when she admitted that she was Bambo to Master Walton, she had told him that she would help perform check-ups. One reason was for her to earn money, and the other was to accumulate some useful connections. That way, when she returned to Dilsburg in the future, it might be of use to her.

However, when Lucille got there, she found out that the person she was supposed to perform a check-up on was the famous head of the Melling family in Shein City, Master Melling.

The person Master Melling had told to welcome them was none other than the eldest daughter of the Melling family, Fiona.
