Bernard shook his head.
Originally, he didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. The reason why he was there was that he heard something had happened to Joanne. He wanted to use that as a reason to come over and see if he could find the girl who he had
confronted the night before.
Unexpectedly, the moment he arrived, he heard Samuel ordering someone to tie Lucille up.
All of a sudden, he felt that Lucille was a little pitiful.
So much so that he lost control for a moment and spoke up.
Bernard turned around indifferently and left.
Samuel gritted his teeth. He couldn’t afford to embarrass
himself.
He had already given the order. If he asked the bodyguards to come back, it would seem like he was afraid of Bernard. However, if he insisted that they tie up Lucille, he would inevitably get into a conflict with Bernard in the future.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Samuel decided to stick with it. “Go. Bring Lucille here!”
Injured
The bodyguards were about to go out after hearing the order when Master Walton unex, ectedly returned with a kit of
medicine on his back.
Samuel could only suppress the anger in his heart and politely
say to Master Walton, “Master Walton, my sister is injured. Please treat her wounds.”
“Okay.”
Master Walton nodded and went into the room to clean up
Joanne’s wound and realign her bones.
The process was a little painful, but Master Walton began before Joanne could even react. She screamed in pain, but after doing it, her sprained ankle was fully recovered. Her movement was not affected at all.
“Oh. That’s it?”
Joanne pursed her lips in disappointment.
She had wanted to use her injury as an excuse to order Lucille
around.
Seeing that Joanne was fine, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief and then personally escorted Master Walton out of the room. He did not forget to respectfully state, “Thank you very much,
Master Walton.”
“It’s nothing.” Master Walton wiped his hands and walked out. Casually, he asked, “Your sister was fine in the morning,
1/4
though. How did she suddenly get hurt like this?”
At the mention of that, Samuel felt a burst of anger and could not help but grumble, “It’s all because of Lucille. I don’t know how, but she tricked my sister into going to the backside of the mountain. That’s why Joanne sprained her ankle and got. injured.”
“That’s not right.”
Master Walton paused and corrected him in a low voice. “This morning, Joanne and Jenny came looking for Lucille together. They said that there was a villager who needed to get a check- up, so they asked Lucille to go with them. I was there at the time, and I asked Lucille to go with them.”
Samuel was stunned for a moment and asked, “Really?”
“Yes,” Master Walton affirmed. “If Joanne was injured because she went to the back of the mountain as you said, then you should wonder what they are trying to cover up, Mr. Samuel.”
With that said, Master Walton sneered and continued, “In my opinion, the reason why they lied and lured Lucille away was that they were trying to target her. In the end, however, it ended up backfiring on them.”
Master Walton left with a flick of his sleeves.
Samuel stood where he was, and his expression kept fluctuating.
Did that mean he was the one who had wrongly accused Lucille of what had happened that day?
However, when he thought of the way Lucille had kicked him
today, Samuel’s face turned ashen.
He had to stop thinking about it. It was like he could feel the pain all over again.
Lucille did not know what was going on at the base.
She had just finished her dinner and was slowly going upstairs to return to her room.
That night, she was going to visit the old house again.
Walking to the door, Lucille inadvertently glanced at the building across from her and found that all the lights on the third floor were on. There were also many villagers gathering in the yard as if they were discussing something important. Everyone had a happy look on their faces.
She had a bad feeling.
