Chapter 44
Lucille did not leave the dining room until Joseph’s car had gone far away.
She sat on the sofa in the living room and randomly pressed the remote control.
The television immediately lit up.
Madam Dahlia came back inside. With a condemning tone, she nagged, “Mr. Joseph is your fiance,
Miss Jules. Why didn’t you go out and see him off?”
“It’s all an act, Lucille replied nonchalantly.
“Huh?” Madam Dahlia didn’t hear her clearly. She took two more steps forward and asked, “Miss Jules,
what did you just say?”
“Nothing.”
Lucille stretched, then gave some instructions. “Madam Dahlia, please prepare another bedroom right
next to mine. Make it all pink. Buy some squirrel plushies, pillows, bags, and cups. Oh, right. Get some
watermelon- flavored lollipops, too.”
Those were the things Molly liked the most. If Joseph’s subordinates were efficient enough, Molly’s
whereabouts would likely be found within the next two days.
“Understood.” Madam Dahlia did not ask anything this time and simply answered, “I’ll prepare all of that
in the afternoon.”
“Okay.” Lucille nodded and got up from the sofa. Just as she was about to go upstairs to rest for a
while, she suddenly heard her own voice coming from the TV.
It was her saying, “I’m not going to forgive them, nor am I going to compromise.”
Lucille turned to look and saw that it was Shein City’s news program. It was footage of her being
interviewed by reporters at the gate of the police station that morning.
Filming with a high-definition camera, the reporter asked her some questions.
“Don’t you think you’ve gone a little too far, Miss Jules? Those parents have painstakingly raised their
children and devoted their efforts to nurturing them. Even if they’ve made a mistake, why can’t you be
kind and choose to forgive them when they’ve made it clear that they’ll do better in the future?”
Her reply was, “I don’t mind if you tell me to be kind, but for you to tell me whether or not I should
forgive someone… Sorry, but I would like you to stay away from me.”
After she finished speaking, the footage froze. At the same time, a striking banner with large words
appeared on the screen.
The banner read: “The disowned daughter of the Jules family carelessly shows her selfish, cold
personality!”
Less than a minute after the real-time news was aired, a barrage of comments began to appear on the
screen one after another. Looking around, almost all of them agreed with what the news had said….
One read: “Wow, I thought Miss Jules just had a bit of a temper. I didn’t expect her to have such a bad
attitude. Those are her classmates, who she’s spent so much time with. Their parents practically knelt
on the ground and begged her, but she was still so indifferent. Is she even human?”
Another said: “She should really learn when to let things go.”
Someone else wrote: “If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to be so ruthless. People aren’t perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes, and they can learn from their mistakes. You have to at least give them a
chance to -do better.”
One other commented: “How scary. I’m grateful that my classmates are nice to me…”
Soon, there were dozens to hundreds of them, densely covering the entire screen. Without exception,
all of them were insulting Lucille.
Madam Dahlia was so angry when she saw it that she trembled all over. “Miss Jules, you’re clearly the
victim here. How can people who don’t know the whole story say all of that?!”
She was about to rush to the comment section and fight with those netizens.
It was so frustrating!
Even after being attacked like that, not only was Lucille not annoyed, but she even turned her head to
comfort Madam Dahlia, who was yelling at the television. She smiled and muttered, “Madarn Dahlia, it’s
okay. Just let them do what they want.” noveldrama
They could scold her if they wanted. They could be harsh to their heart’s content.
However, they had to keep in mind that what goes around comes around.
Lucille patted Madam Dahlia on the shoulder. She grinned and then turned to go upstairs.
Madam Dahlia was left stunned on the spot, and she even stopped breathing for a moment.
The smile Lucille had just made was a little too powerful. Most of the time, her smiles were very faint,
like a misty fog that could not be grasped.
Earlier, however, she smiled so hard that even her eyes were curved into crescents. At that moment,
she was like a flame in winter, and like all the stars in the night… She was absolutely glowing.
Madam Dahlia rubbed her eyes and finally came to her senses after a long while.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom on the second floor…
Lucille took out her laptop and browsed through the trending news online.
Sure enough, the most popular news was about what she had done. The fact that there were so many
comments was fishy.
Lucille tapped the keyboard lightly and hacked the other party’s system to investigate. Looking at what
she had found, she was shocked.
