Chapter 82
Such a Huge Loss
Since Lucille had said so, Hilda didn't beat around the bush. Without another word, she transferred 10 million dollars into Lucille's account.
Honestly speaking, 10 million dollars was nothing compared to the proof of title for half a dozen entertainment venues as well as the deeds. After all, the monthly revenue of those businesses was way more than 10 million dollars. Hilda grinned. "It seems like I'm profiting a bit too much from this."
Lucille raised her lips. "I'm rather lazy. I can't manage so many businesses. You can just take it as us making friends with each other. I'll call you Madam Sanders in the future."
Hilda was flattered and agreed. "Of course, of course. That's wonderful. It's my honor!"noveldrama
After that, she took the initiative to exchange phone numbers with Lucille and offered, "Lucille, if you ever get the chance, you can go to any of my businesses using my name. Remember to call me. I'll personally come and welcome you." "Thank you. In that case, we'll get going first. Goodbye
Lucille smiled and turned to leave.
Master Walton followed closely behind.
On the way back to the Jules Residence, Lucille explained the process of treatment to Master Walton, as well as the method to identify the presence of vermin. Along the
the way, Master Walton couldn't help marveling.
The first thing Lucille did after arriving at the Jules Residence was to call Benjamin.
"Get ready by four o'clock in the morning. We have to take action on time," she ordered.
Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward!
Hilda nodded.
In fact, she already had an answer in her heart, but she couldn't be certain.
Lucille stated, "It's simple. Find out who your daughter interacted with and what food she ate in the past two days before she fell ill. Then, you'll know what happened."
Hilda's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
A few days ago, her ex-mother-in-law had failed to extort money from her. After saying a few harsh words to Hilda, she went to school to pick Evelyn up and then took Evelyn to have a meal. Since that night, Evelyn had been ill...
"I understand." Hilda took a deep breath. She looked at Lucille and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter. This is my reward for you. Please accept it, Miss Jules!"
Just as she had promised, Hilda offered half of her assets.
Therefore, what Hilda had offered was the proof of title for around half a dozen entertainment venues in Shein City as well as contracts.
It was worth at least eight million dollars.
Zoey's eyes widened. She couldn't believe it!
"Madam Sanders, don't be fooled by her! How could she be more skilled than my mentor?" she protested.. Master Walton couldn't help rolling his eyes. "You're such an idiot. How can you call him your mentor at such a critical moment? Why don't you take a look at where that mentor of yours has gone?"
With that reminder from Master Walton, everyone realized that the imposter had sneaked away at some point.
How dare he run away?
Rage was written all over Hilda's face. Just as she was about to ask her maids outside to catch the imposter, she felt a gust of wind sweep past her.
She took a closer look and saw that it was Lucille.
Lucille leaped through the window and landed steadily.
The imposter, who had escaped from the gate in a panic, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a person blocking his path.
It was someone whom he feared from the bottom of his heart.
The girl in front of him had a cold look on her face. With a faint smile, she asked, "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't do it again in the future. Please have mercy and let me go!" The moment the Imposter was exposed, he immediately put his hands together and begged for mercy. "Since it's my first offense and there weren't any serious consequences, please let me go!" Lucille remained unaffected and rolled up her sleeves slowly.
The imposter was so anxious that he almost cried. He kept howling, "I swear, it's my first time scamming anyone. Hilda said that as long as anyone can save her daughter, she would give half of her assets away as a reward. I happened to know a little about medicine, so I wanted to give it a try. Maybe if I got lucky, it
Who Sive Interacted With
would work out. I didn't expect that..."
Who would have thought that things would go wrong so quickly?
Lucille glanced at the imposter. Her grin turned cold. "Are you done?"
"A-Also... I shouldn't have pretended to be Bambo."
As the man spoke, he gradually straightened up again.

Loudly, he continued, "It's not like I had a choice, though. Anyway, Bambo is so mysterious, and they've never made an appearance before. I have to pretend to be Bambo for anyone to even give me the time of day! Just like the adopted daughter of the Jules family, Zoey. Not only did that silly girl immediately acknowledge me as her mentor the moment she heard I was Bambo, but she also spent a lot of money to try and butter me up. I happened to be short of money so it's not like I would just refuse free money like that..." The man kept blabbering and finding excuses for himself.
However, he didn't notice that the "silly girl" he was speaking of was right behind him. Her face changed dramatically.
Lucille glanced at the way Zoey's face was twisted in anger and asked, "How did you get her to believe you?"
"It's simple. I paid an actor 200 dollars. First, he pretended to be seriously injured in a car accident, and then I saved him. His performance was flawless, but Zoey was the only one who believed it!" he responded.
As soon as he started talking, he knew that he couldn't run away, so he simply revealed everything he had done.
He added, "I had gotten myself a huge catch. At first, I wanted to scam her and run away with some money, but this time, I got greedy. I ended up biting off more than I could chew..."
Master Walton, Hilda, and Zoey all heard everything that he said.
Zoey was red with fury.
Such a Huge Loss
At that moment, the man she had once called her mentor was calling her an idiot. It felt like a slap to her face.
Zoey clenched her fists, feeling angry and embarrassed.
This was her first time suffering such a huge loss
She had been pleased with herself, thinking that she had really become the disciple of the great Bambo. She even fantasized about surpassing Lucille in the future.
However, she didn't expect that it was all fake.
She was too desperate for a shortcut to success. She was the one who began to panic after hearing that Master Walton gave Lucille special treatment...
Otherwise, there was no way she wouldn't have been able to tell that the man was an imposter.
Zoey gave Lucille a cold look and suppressed her anger. "Fine. This time, I was stupid. I didn't even know that I was digging my own grave. Don't get cocky, though. There's still a long way to go. Just wait and see, Lucillel'
