Chapter 58
Lucille paused.
In the video, Molly was lying on the mound, crying and screaming as she asked if Bobo didn’t want her
anymore. Because of how hysterically she was sobbing, her voice was not clear. Surprisingly, not only
did Joseph’s banquet hear it, but he even caught onto that point specifically.
Lucille remained calm and explained, “It’s a cat that I used to raise.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Joseph had a faint grin on his face. There was a hint of interest in his dark and
beautiful
eyes.
He looked at her, with a wicked aura all over his body. His casual, relaxed posture made it hard to noveldrama
guess how much he believed her.
Lucille looked at him calmly, without any trace of a guilty conscience.
Joseph laughed quietly and did not press the issue.
Soon, the car stopped.
Lucille looked outside and found that the car was parked in front of the Jules Residence.
Joseph stated, “It’s still early. The helicopter will arrive in the early morning. There are still a few hours
left, so you can rest for a while.”
After that, the car door was opened.
Joseph stepped out of the car with his slender legs and walked in the direction of the villa.
Lucille was stunned for a moment, then she quickly ran after him and asked, “A-Are you staying here?”
Joseph raised his eyebrows and calmly question, “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to?”
?Of course not. Lucille frowned and replied in a business-like tone, “A deal is a deal. You help me find
someone, and I will help you deal with Madam Collins. We aren’t supposed to interfere with each
other’s personal lives. That was part of the deal.”
It didn’t matter. Even though she was grateful to Joseph for helping her find and save Molly, it didn’t
mean that he could step into her private life as he wished.
Not to mention, as stated in the contract, she would fulfill her promise and pretend to be his fiancée to
help him deal with the Collins family for a year.
She continued, “We’re just helping each other out and using each other. Since there’s no one else
around now, there’s no need for us to continue acting, right?”
Joseph had his eyes fixed on Lucille. Her gaze was icy, and the coldness in her eyes made her seem
untouchable. She looked like the snow in winter that never melted.
She had drawn a clear line between them.
The corners of Joseph’s lips curled up. It was hard to tell what he was feeling. Seeing the wariness in
Lucille’s eyes, he chuckled and slowly muttered, “Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of a little girl like
you.”
After that, he strode forward with his long legs.
Then… Lucille watched him walk past the Jules Residence and enter the villa next door.
The door of the villa was open, and a few servants came out one after the other. They bowed
respectfully to Joseph and said, “Welcome back, Mr. Joseph.”
Seeing that, Lucille froze on the spot.
It turned out… that Joseph owned the villa right next to hers.
What a huge misunderstanding.
She had thought that Joseph had wanted to spend the night in the Jules Residence. That was why she
had said all of that, so that things wouldn’t get messy in the future.
She didn’t expect that he was just passing by.
Lucille rubbed her forehead. She wanted to apologize, but when she looked up, she found that Joseph
had already walked in and that the door of the villa next door was closed.
Was he… angry?
Lucille wanted to knock on the door and say sorry, but after thinking for a while, she gave up
She decided to forget about it. They could talk about it the next time they met.
Lucille went into the Jules Residence.
The lights in the living room were on.
Madam Dahlia sat on the sofa, snoring. She didn’t wake up until she heard the sound of the keypad
being unlocked.
