Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Lucille stopped for a moment and tilted her head slightly. Her profile was exquisite and beautiful. She
raised the corner of her mouth and said in a low and angry voice, “That’s exactly what I want.” These
five simple words completely shattered Samuel’s confidence.
What was going on?
Shouldn’t Lucille be crying and begging him not to cancel the engagement?
But now, she was saying that it was exactly what she wished for.
What did that mean?
Did that mean this was her motive all along?
How could this be?
Samuel was dumbfounded. Staring blankly at the girl’s beautiful back, a funny feeling ran across his
chest. The girl that stood before him was confident and poised.
She was no longer as weak and gloomy as she used to be. On the contrary, she had a fatal attraction
that no one could resist.
Hearing the commotion outside, Zoey ran out and saw Samuel staring at Lucille with eyes full of
amazement and confusion.
Her heart skipped a beat. She trotted forward and called for him, “Samuel!”
Samuel came to his senses and turned his head. He saw Zoey running toward him with tears in her
eyes. He ran towards her and asked, “What’s wrong, Zoey?”
Zoey burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. “Lucille hurt the bodyguards and Dad. He was so
angry that he fainted. Go in and have a look!”
Samuel’s face darkened instantly. He held her in his arms and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Howard was throwing a fit at his bodyguards. “A group of
good-for- nothings! There’s so many of you against one girl, but you lost!”
After that, he grabbed a vase and threw it at Samuel’s feet.
Samuel looked at the mess in the living room. The bodyguards were covered in bruises, and he could
see that Howard was livid. Samuel said in disbelief, “Is this really Lucille’s doing?”
Zoey sat down and wiped her tears. “Why would I lie to you? She even sold 40% of the shares! Dad’s
so mad at her for it.”
Samuel was so shocked that he didn’t know what to say.
Charles’s heart ached when he saw her crying like a fountain of tears. “Don’t cry, Zoey. He said that he
would transfer the shares under his name to you.”
Tears welled up in Zoey’s eyes as she looked at him with reddened eyes. “Charles, you’re the best.”
Charles loved to see her like this the most. His heart immediately became full. “What are you talking
about! You’re my sister, it’s my duty to be responsible towards you.”
Howard rubbed his temples and pointed angrily at the bodyguards. “Why are you still standing here?
Get out of my face and go to the hospital yourselves!”
The bodyguards left with dust on their faces.
Howard sighed and held his chest, then sat down on the sofa.
Just as he was about to ask Zoey to make him a cup of tea, the people from Mount Ocean House
barged in. Howard stared at this group of strange men. “Who are you? Why did you break into my
house?”
The man held up the ownership certificate and grinned. “I’m sorry, this house has been sold, Now, it This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
belongs to Mount Ocean House.”
Howard widened his eyes in shock. “What?!”
That unfilial daughter not only sold her shares, but also the villa?!
“That’s right.” he explained with a polite smile, “Now, we’re here to pack up the place. We’ll give you
half an hour to gather everything and leave here for good.”
“Of course, if you don’t want to move, you can just buy the villa back from us.”
Howard was so angry that he could feel the blood surge in his body and his brain was buzzing.
Luckily, Charles was behind supporting him. Otherwise, he would’ve collapsed for the second time.
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “How much is it?”
The man in charge smiled deviously. “Such a nice house with a great location is worth at least a
hundred and fifty million dollars.”
Hearing this, Howard’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
Did this mean he had to spend so much to keep the house?
In the end, Howard had no choice but to unwillingly pay the hundred and fifty million to buy back the
villa. Just like that, Mount Ocean House earned fifty million dollars easily and left feeling satisfied.
They graciously transferred half of the profit they had earned to Lucille, as she was the one who came
up with this idea.
After they left, Howard was so furious that he actually started spitting fresh blood. The ambulance had
to be called in to send him to the emergency department. Once he regained consciousness, the first
thing he did was to make a public announcement about cutting ties with Lucille.
In the corridor of the hospital.
Zoey watched with satisfaction as she saw the news of Jules family disowning Lucille flash across her
phone. The corners of her mouth curled into a sinister smile.
It took her eight years to finally drive that little b*tch, Lucille out of the Jules family!
From now on, she was the only daughter of the Jules family!
She would be spoiled by them and become the precious jewel of the family!
More than that, she would continue to target Lucille and make her the laughing stock of Shein City. She
would be cast aside by the citizens, leaving her no choice but to abandon the city in shame!
Thinking of this, a vicious light flashed across Zoey’s eyes.
Keeping her phone, she turned to Samuel. “Samuel, Lucille is no longer the daughter of the Jules
Family. Your marriage with me…”
Samuel caressed her head dotingly. “Don’t worry, I’ll make the announcement about breaking off the
engagement at my grandparents’ diamond anniversary celebration. After that, I’ll make sure to
announce our marriage with grander gestures.”
“Really?!” Zoey’s eyes were shining. She got on her toes and kissed him on the lips. “Samuel, you treat
me so well!”
Samuel put his arms around her waist and kissed her as if there was no one else in the crowded
aisle…
In the hotel suite.
After a brief rest, Lucille dug out the marriage certificate from her luggage.
Since they were going to break off the engagement, they had a lot of work to do.
Since Samuel wanted to break off the engagement with her at his grandparents’ diamond anniversary
celebration, she might as well announce it on a bigger stage!
Thinking of this, the girl’s eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in them.
She put away the marriage contract, turned on the computer, and began to check out properties in
Shein City.
Step one was just to cut off any relations with the Jules family. The second step was to buy a house
and settle
down.
After comparing several places, she finally picked a villa with a good location.
The price wasn’t low, but she could squeeze by.
“Madam Dahlia.” Lucille turned her computer screen towards Madam Dahlia to show her pictures of the
villa. “From now on, this is our home. I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
Madam Dahlia was slightly taken aback. “Miss, that’s not good. I don’t have the experience of being a
housekeeper.”
As Lucille contacted the real estate company, she said, “Madam Dahlia, since you chose to stay with
me, I will also choose to trust you. From now on, we’re a family.”
Madam Dahlia was stunned, her eyes turned red in an instant.
She didn’t expect Lucille to trust her so much.
“Okay!” Madam Dahlia nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, Miss. I will take good care of the house!”
Lucille smiled faintly, decisively contacted the real estate management company, and made the call.
Coincidentally, this villa was also managed by Mount Ocean House.
When the other party heard that the buyer was Lucille, he immediately removed a digit from the price.
In the end, Lucille bought the luxurious villa for a price of fifty million dollars.
After the whole negotiation, Lucille handed her card and the passcode over to Madam Dahlia. “As for
the official stuff, I’ll need your help to get it done. Take a look at the place tomorrow and if everything’s
okay, give them the money.”
Seeing that she trusted her so much, Madam Dahlia was extremely emotional. “Don’t worry, Miss. I’ll
get it done!”
Lucille smiled and turned into her room.
As soon as she stepped through the door, her phone started ringing.
