Chapter 10
Lucille left the Jules Villa and walked to the roadside to wait for the bus.
It might sound unbelievable, but as the daughter of the Jules family, she had no money on her.
Howard had frozen all her bank accounts as a punishment.
And even the driver of the house had been assigned to serve Zoey, not her.
The reason for Howard’s action was to force Lucille to hand over her 40% shares.
Thinking of this, Lucille couldn’t help but sneer.
Oh, how she looked forward to showing Howard the true definition of regret.
Beep!
Suddenly, a loud car horn startled her out of her thoughts.
She raised her head and saw a top-class luxury car slowly stopping in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing a man with a stunningly gorgeous side face. “Hey, little girl, get in the car,” he said.
Lucille looked at Joseph, who was sitting in the back seat, and her eyes narrowed slightly. “Mr. Joseph, what a coincidence?”
Lucille’s choice of words was not lost on Joseph, as the word “coincidence” carried an implicit message.
Joseph turned his head, revealing a sharp, refined gaze that settled upon Lucille’s exquisite, fair features Though her lips curved into a smile, they appeared superficial, never reaching her eyes.
There was some vigilance deep in her eyes.
Joseph couldn’t help but laugh.
Her superficial mannerisms and polite gestures came across to him as insincere and lacking in genuine warmth.
He withdrew his gaze and smirked, “It’s not a coincidence. I have been planning this for a long time.”
He had been planning this for a long time?
Lucille squinted her eyes. “What does Mr. Joseph want from me today?”
Joseph didn’t answer her question. He just lowered his head and fixed his sleeves, saying, “Get in the car, and I’ll tell you.”
Without a second thought, Lucille pulled open the car door and hopped inside.
Around the street corner, there was a white luxury car parked.
Zoey and Samuel sat in the car, staring incredulously at the scene before them.
What did they just witness?
Lucille getting into a luxury car?
Zoey narrowed her eyes, and a cruel glimmer flickered in them.
“Samuel, I can’t believe what I just saw,” Zoey exclaimed, her eyes flashing with anger. “Lucille got into a stranger’s car like it was nothing! Doesn’t she have any self-respect? Even if the guy is loaded, she shouldn’t lower herself like that.”
Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she looked pitiful. “If Dad finds out about it, he will beat her to death!”
Without knowing the truth, Zoey had already formed an opinion of Lucille as being someone who lacked dignity and propriety.
Samuel took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Shame on her!”
Zoey sighed and flashed a sinister smile where Samuel couldn’t see her.
She had something good waiting for Lucille when they arrived at school later!
Outside an elite aristocratic school.
Culver stopped the car. “Mr. Joseph, we have arrived.”
Lucille looked out the window with a calm expression, not at all surprised that Joseph knew she was attending this school.
The original owner of this body was a freshman studying medicine in this college, and today was the day for registration.
If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have wanted to come.
“Thank you.” Lucille pushed open the car door and prepared to get out.
But Joseph grabbed her wrist. “Wait.”
Lucille turned her head and ran into his charming eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Joseph’s eyes were locked on Lucille’s brown orbs, as he uttered, “A mere thank you, is that all?”
Lucille lifted an eyebrow in response. “Do you require something more from me to express my gratitude?”
Her tone was even-tempered, and her eyes held steady.
And, her composure was unwavering under the weight of Joseph’s dominating presence.
Joseph remained transfixed on her, almost as though he was trying to see past her and gaze upon someone else, his eyes shrouded in deeper mystery.
After a while, he slowly let go of her wrist. “Forget it.”
He didn’t even know what he was expecting from her..
Lucille was puzzled as she watched him, and she withdrew her hand before getting out of the car without looking back.
She walked into the campus, and the scorching gaze from behind only disappeared when she was far away.
She wasn’t stupid. Joseph must have had some ulterior motives toward her, even if he denied it.
However, she knew that Joseph was not someone to be trifled with.
Her intuition told her that this man was dangerous.
And, he seemed to be constantly testing her.
Had he discovered something?
Lucille shook her head and stepped into the teaching block of her subject.
This building was full of painful memories for the original owner of this body.
She had been bullied, isolated, and hurt by cruel words here.
As soon as Lucille entered the building, she felt a strong sorrow and pain from the original owner.
Despite the discomfort, Lucille forcefully suppressed it and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anymore.”
Her emotions gradually stabilized as she made her way up to the third floor classroom.

When she arrived at the door, she saw the previously restless classmates quiet down immediately upon seeing
her.
Their eyes were gleefully waiting for her to become the butt of their jokes.
-Lucille sneered, then kicked the door with great force.
This caused a bucket filled with excrement to fall and splatter all over the students in the classroom.
It drenched almost everyone in brown filth and filled the room with a putrid stench.
No one was spared.
“Argh! Help! That’s so smelly!”
“Oh! I’m going to vomit. Help me!”
“Oh my god, what’s this? Is this a maggot? Psst!”
Lucille stood at the door, arms crossed, coldly watching it all unfold.
The classmates screamed in disgust and agony. If it were the original owner of this body, she would have been drenched in filthy water, then humiliated and mocked by them.
One of the girls who enjoyed picking on the original owner gritted her teeth and let out a furious shout, “Lucille Jules! Do you have a death wish? Who gave you the right to fight back?”
Lucille smirked.
