Half–Smile
Joseph’s heart skipped a beat. He took a step closer to Lucille and asked with a half–smile, “Do you want me to delete the photo?”
“Yes!”
What a loaded question.
How could she allow him to keep such an ugly picture?
Joseph nodded without hesitation. Then, he changed the topic and said with a mischievous grin, “In that case… Say something nice about me, and I’ll give you the camera.”
She knew it wouldn’t be that easy!
Lucille took a deep breath. With hatred in her tone, she grumbled, “If you keep doing this, I’m going to commit domestic violence!”
After saying that, both of them were stunned.
Domestic violence?
It was a slip of the tongue by Lucille. Joseph was inexplicably
happy to hear it, though.
“Bobo, it seems that you’re well aware that we’re husband and
wife.”
Lucille was at a loss for words.
She had just dug her own grave.
Hall Sour
She blushed and immediately turned to leave.
Joseph stood where he was and looked at her silly yet
adorable expression saved in the camera. He could not help
but smile.
It was such a precious and rare moment. He was reluctant to
delete it.
Lucille dashed down the stairs. It wasn’t until she felt a gentle
breeze that her face finally cooled down.
Just now, she had fallen right into Joseph’s trap.
He asked her to say something nice, and she subconsciously thought of those extremely intimate pet names, like calling him her husband or something like that… Thus, she had spoken without thinking and accidentally mentioned domestic
violence.
It was too embarrassing.
Sitting on the chair, Lucille finally calmed down.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from outside the yard. Lucille thought that someone was coming to deliver
something. She looked up and saw Joanne and Jenny walking
Hmph.
What were they up to?.
Lucille crossed her arms in front of her chest, a faint grin on
her face.
Hall Sonde
The thugs sent by Jenny’s father had been sent to the police station by Bernard. She didn’t know whether Sebastian. threatened them or promised them greater benefits, but those thugs ended up insisting that they wanted to rob her, which was why they got into a conflict.
Because the robbery didn’t succeed, nor was there any serious harm done to her, the charges against those thugs were very small. However, those thugs didn’t have clean records in the first place. Instead, they got sentenced to 15 years because of other charges.
It was precisely because it didn’t involve the Zanes family that Jenny hadn’t learned her lesson. She was still arrogant.
After stepping into the courtyard with Joanne, the first thing Jenny said was, “Lucille, do you think we just don’t exist? This free clinic is obviously a product of everyone’s hard work. Now, these villagers call you a miracle doctor. How are you not ashamed to take all of the credit for yourself?”
“That’s right!” Joanne was also dissatisfied. “This charity clinic was organized by the Gilbert family. If these foolish people are going to thank someone, they should thank the Gilbert family! Who gave you the right to show off in front of everyone?”
One of them was saying that Lucille was stealing the credit,
and the other said that she had won the favor of others.
Lucille was about to laugh from fury. Based on what they were saying, they basically didn’t want her to do anything at all.
That wasn’t true, though. Even if she hadn’t done anything, they still wouldn’t have stopped hating on her brainlessly.
Lucille leaned back on her chair and muttered, “First of all, I’ve never thought of taking credit for it. I’m just doing what I
should do. Second, since it’s a charity clinic organized by the Gilbert family, I suppose I’ll have to trouble the Gilbert family to donate all the resources that they said they would.”
With a faint smile on her face, Lucille deliberately emphasized the word charity.
Because of the Gilbert family’s charity clinic, the shares of their company skyrocketed in just a few days.
People in the outside world all praised Samuel, saying that he was very generous. He was not only handsome but also broad- minded. They also said that Joanne, the daughter of a rich family, truly had it hard. Even though she had to go to a poor and remote place, she didn’t kick up a fuss at all, and she was apparently kind and benevolent.
Since they had achieved their goal, they gained a lot of
publicity and earned a lot of money. In that case, wouldn’t it be appropriate for them to keep their word and honestly donate everything that they had promised to the public?
Maintaining her grin, she continued, “If that happens, the citizens of Talford Village will definitely thank the Gilbert
family for their generosity. Miss Joanne, what do you think?”
Innocent and Harmless
Joanne straightened her neck and refused to show weakness. ” Of course. As if I need you to tell me what the Gilbert family
should do.”
“Good, then. We’re going back tomorrow, so I hope your
promise can be fulfilled today. Otherwise, the good reputation of the Gilbert family might not last,” Lucille replied.
She smiled, her clear and alluring gaze looking innocent and harmless.
However, Joanne suddenly shivered.
Beside her, Jenny could not help rolling her eyes when she saw that Lucille had convinced Joanne in just a few words. She raised his voice and thundered, “What are you so proud of, Lucille? Even if you’ve contributed the most in this free clinic,, so what? We’re all getting full marks, and you’re the only one who got zero!”
Lucille shook her head. She looked at Jenny as if she was staring at an idiot. There was a hint of pity in her eyes.
Jenny was stunned and angrily demanded, “Lucille, what do you mean by that?”
“Nothing. I just feel sorry for you.”
It was the truth.
Lucille twitched the corner of her mouth and casually added, Not only do I feel sorry for you, but I also feel sorry for your
teacher. You’re a medical student, but all you care about are calculating scores. Isn’t that sad?”
Was Jenny going to weigh the pros and cons every single time. she was faced with a life–or–death scenario and having to treat patients? Would she first calculate whether she could benefit
from it?
It was ridiculous.
No wonder Master Walton felt that they were hopeless.
It was the truth.
Jenny laughed exaggeratedly and clicked her tongue. “What are you acting so high and mighty for, Lucille? You’re enjoying the praise of these stupid villagers, aren’t you? Don’t tell me you think that you’re really a great doctor who can save the world just because they call you a miracle doctor! Don’t you know your worth? How funny!”
Lucille began digging her ears. She did not intend to waste any more time on someone so stupid.
No matter how much she told Jenny, she would still remain.
stubborn in her views.
