Chapter 334
Thus, he changed to another strategy and promised, "How about this? As long as you return this necklace to me, I promise to compensate you. You can choose any necklace you want. Is that okay?"
How self-righteous.
He thought that by offering a compromise, she would be forced to accept.
If she didn't accept, then that meant she was being unreasonable.
Lucille put on a fake smile and said, "Samuel, how can you use money to make up for a mother's dying wishes for her daughter? How can you buy her desire for her daughter to inherit this expensive jewelry? Can you do that?" Samuel was speechless.
"B-But Zoey wants this necklace back for your own good. Since Mr. Jules has given this jewelry to Zoey, it's hers. Why are you snatching it away in such an unreasonable manner?" he protested.
"Snatching it away?" Lucille dug her ears and grinned casually. "Samuel, are your ears just for show? Didn't you hear Zoey saying that she would return it to its rightful owner in the parking lot?" He fell silent.
It seemed that he couldn't get through to her.
Samuel took a deep breath without any intention of letting go of Lucille's hand. He threatened her coldly, "Lucille, I'll give you a choice. You must return this necklace to me, or I won't let you leave today." "Is that so?"
Lucille raised her eyes and replied swiftly, "Then I'll give you a choice. Let me go now, or I'll make you regret what you just said."
The atmosphere was tense.
Samuel stared at her.
The girl in front of him wore a high ponytail, and her delicate and ethereal face was a little cold. A few strands of hair blew past her eyes, and her clear eyes were like a pure spring. She was like a hedgehog, stabbing anyone in sight.
Her entire body was covered in dazzling light, and his aura was extremely strong. She didn't back down or retreat in the slightest.
At that moment, Samuel had no idea what was going on in his brain. He actually had a faint urge to conquer her.
When that thought surfaced in his mind, Samuel leaned over and captured Lucille's lips without thinking...
A hint of astonishment flashed across Lucille's eyes. She did not expect that b*stard to do something so outrageous. How could he think of something so disgusting?
Lucille reacted very quickly. Before Samuel could get close to her, she grabbed his hair and forced him to stop.
Samuel's scalp was numb from the pain. It hurt so much that he felt like he was going bald, but it was also because of the pain that he came back to his senses. What on earth was he doing? Why was he trying to kiss her? Was he crazy?
Samuel's expression kept changing. Looking at Lucille's beautiful red lips, he quickly avoided her gaze, and his expression was somewhat unnatural.
Under Lucille's vigilant gaze, Samuel couldn't stay any longer. He turned around and left. He didn't have the mood to fight for the sapphire necklace any longer. That son of a b*tch.
Lucille shook her hands in disgust and dusted off a few strands of Samuel's hair. She then went to the bathroom on the first floor and washed her hands several times.
Downstairs, Zoey was about to go upstairs when she saw Samuel coming down with an unnatural expression.
She immediately rushed forward and asked expectantly, "Samuel, the necklace..."
"I didn't get it."noveldrama
Samuel avoided her gaze and said, "Worst comes to worst, I'll buy you another one. There's no need to keep thinking about Lucille."
Zoey's heart turned cold when she heard that.
Just now...
That wasn't what Samuel had said just now.
What exactly happened between him and Lucille in less than ten minutes?
Out of Her Control
Out of Her Control
Zoey wanted to ask more questions, but Samuel dodged her gaze and said, "Let's put this aside for now. Study hard at school. I'll go back to the company."
After that, Samuel drove away without looking back.
He had never been so cold to her before.
Zoey clenched her fists. She didn't understand why things were out of her control.
She gritted her teeth and rushed upstairs.
Zoey was very popular in school. On top of that, Samuel and Lucille's interaction had happened in an open area, so the students around them who witnessed it with their own eyes immediately latched onto it. Zoey pretended to be concerned and asked a few questions, and then a female classmate immediately spilled the beans to her.
Upon hearing about Samuel's attempt to forcefully kiss Lucille, Zoey was so angry that she was shaking all over. She barely managed to conceal the sinister look in her eyes.
Lucille!
That b*tch!
Since she had quarreled with Joseph and left home, she decided to seduce Samuel instead.
Zoey pinched her own palm violently to maintain her worried expression.
The female student warned, "You should be careful, Zoey. Lucille's face is very attractive to men. Don't let her steal Mr. Gilbert away from you!"
A girl at the side joined in and added with a smile, "Don't worry about her. That b*tch Lucille has such a bad reputation. How can she compare with you? Besides, Mr. Gilbert loves you so much. There's no way he would ever lose feelings." Those words might have been very useful in the past, but right then it all sounded like sarcasm to her.
Zoey felt like everyone was ridiculing her.
It was all because of Lucille.
