My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess

Chapter 16

Cowering in the corner, Lucille could feel the cool marble wall plastered against her back, and a tall

man’s frame blocking her from in front.

The man was just inches away from her face. His deep eyes stared straight into hers, as if he wanted

to see through what she was thinking.

Lucille did not like this kind of intimate distance, so she pushed him back.

However, Joseph did not give up. He drew in closer again. “Tell me, why are you trying to draw the

line? What are you afraid of?”

Lucille tilted her head to avoid his gaze. “I’m not.”

“You’re not?” Joseph’s voice turned deep. It was oozing sexiness and magnetism. “Then why don’t you

dare to look me in the eye?”

Lucille took a deep breath, organized her thoughts, and raised her head in a hurry. “Who said so?”

As soon as she raised her head, she got drowned into his eyes which were as deep as the Atlantic

Ocean.

This was the first time that Lucille had looked at Joseph’s face so closely.

Even though they had looked at each other dozens of times, she still felt that this man’s eyes were

really beautiful.

It was hard to tell what he was, he could’ve been a prince or a monster.

But she knew that the more charming something was, the more dangerous it would be.

The same concept applied to men.

Lucille held her breath, trying hard to look calm.

But her red tinged ears betrayed her right away.

Joseph lowered his eyes and looked at the girl before him, who was like a frightened white rabbit with

its anxious eyes. His thin lips curled up slightly.

He liked to see her panic.

This showed that in her heart, he was special.

The man lowered his head and was about to speak when a male voice called out to him in surprise.

“Joseph?

Joseph and Lucille froze at the same time.

The next second, Lucille pushed him away and jumped to stand beside him.

Outside the door, a young man with blonde hair walked in and said, “It really is you!”

With that, he looked curiously at Lucille.

When he saw her face clearly, he was so scared that he took a step back. “I saw what you were doing

earlier… Joseph, you, you…”

Lucille tidied her hair and said in a cold voice, “I’m leaving.”

After she left, Austin Collins immediately made his way to stand right in front of Joseph. “What is going

on Joseph? When did you associate yourself with the black sheep of the Jules family? Do you know

how bad her reputation is in Shein City? Almost everyone in the city knows that she is a scandalous

woman with no morals. She…”

-Before he could finish his words, the man grabbed his ear and kicked him onto the sofa.

“Ouch!” Austin screamed as he fell onto his back. Shielding his ears, he glared at Joseph. “How dare

you hit me, Joseph?! I’m telling Grandma.”

Without so much as a backward glance, Joseph quickly ran out of the restaurant to catch up with

Lucille.

The more Austin thought about it, the more upset he became. He immediately pulled out his phone to

report everything he had seen to their grandmother.

Hmph!

He wasn’t going to let Joseph be led astray!

He felt the duty to extinguish whatever they had now before the sparks of love ignite!

Thinking that Madam Collins would be furious, never in his wildest dreams would he imagine her to be

over the moon to hear this piece of news.

“Really? Has he finally fallen for that girl?”

Austin was stunned.

What was going on?

“Grandma, did you miss the main point?” he screamed in his head.

That wasn’t what Austin was trying to do!

“Grandma! That girl is famous for being a sly fox! Joseph is going to fall for one of her cunning plans!”

Austin shouted into the phone, afraid that his grandmother might’ve been deaf.

Madam Collins grinned from ear to ear. “Great! Joseph has finally come to his senses! It would seem

that I’ll get to see my grandchild very soon! You said that the girl is the daughter of the Jules family,

didn’t you? I’ll pay them a visit tomorrow and have the marriage arranged right away!”

After that, she hung up the phone excitedly, leaving Austin alone in a mess in the wind.

What was going on?

Why was Grandma so happy?

Wasn’t she angry that Joseph was fooled by that scandalous b*tch?

Lord, he couldn’t understand this world anymore….

Hold on a minute!

Austin’s body froze in shock.

It finally dawned on him that Madam Collins had said the word marriage.

Joseph hated that word more than anything in the world!

if

Joseph found out he was the culprit behind this, wouldn’t he skin him alive?

Sh*t! Better run and find cover for now!

After leaving Mount Ocean House, she quickly hailed a cab, thinking she could head back to Jules

Villa. On the way back, her phone kept ringing with foreign numbers.

After picking up two calls, all of them were from the parents of the murderers.

As soon as the line was connected, there was a harsh curse coming from the other end.

“Little b*tch, you were a vicious one from such a young age. Your mother really didn’t raise you right!”

“Go withdraw your report at the police station immediately, otherwise you’ll be sorry!”

“If you dare to leave a stain on my son’s record, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

In addition to those arrogant parents, there were one or two who begged for mercy.

“Miss, I beg of you, please withdraw the case. My child is not even twenty years old. If there’s even the

smallest stain on his record, her life will be ruined forever! She did it because she was naive, please

forgive her!”

Without exception, Lucille hung up the phone.

Their children were human beings, but the victims weren’t?

-That was a life they were talking about!

Could naivety be an excuse for a life sacrificed?

In their dreams!

The phone continued to buzz nonstop. Lucille finally turned her phone off to get some peace of mind.

When they returned to Jules Villa, Lucille walked straight into the garden and was ready to go back to

her room to pack.

She had sold the villa, so someone would be moving in very soon.

She had to move out before that, cut off her relationship with the Jules family, and set up her own

place.

Within the main hall…

After Zoey finished her interrogation, she sat on the sofa with Charles and bit her lip nervously.

“Charles, do

you

think Lucille will agree to give me 10% of the shares?”

As Samuel was sending Zoey back home, he had already told Howard to come up with a plan to get

Lucille to transfer 10% of the shares under her to Zoey. He wanted Zoey to marry into the Gilbert family

with this money. Of course, Howard could not reject the idea. After all, being relatives with the Gilbert

family came with its own. perks.

“Don’t worry.” Samuel comforted her in a low voice. “Even if Lucille refuses to do so, Charles will make

sure you get 10% of the shares. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you marry into the Gilbert family with pride.”

Zoey smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Samuel. You’ve always been so kind with me.”

Charles was overjoyed by her praise that he nearly floated into the heavens above!

Seeing the documents of the shares on the table, he was determined to get them signed. No matter

what it took, he would make sure Lucille signed them once she was back!

He had to make sure Zoey got what she deserved!

Before long, there was a creak of the door opening.

The girl’s figure was languid, and she was surrounded by a faint aura. It wasn’t strong, but it drew

everyone’s attention. Madam Dahlia stood in a corner anxiously and gave Lucille a look, signaling her NôvelDrama.Org content.

to leave right now. After all, this group of people had been waiting for her all day. Now that she was

here, it would be difficult for her to escape.

Lucille sensed Madam Dahlia’s gaze and turned to look around the living room. Her lips curled into a

cold smile.

“Wow!” she thought to herself sarcastically, “I guess they finally found me important enough to wait for

my arrival.”

She lowered her gaze and glanced at the documents on the coffee table. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

Howard sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and held a cigar in his hand. Like an old man, he barked,

“D*mn girl, I’m surprised you know where your home is? Since you’re back now, you better get your

d*mn a** over here and sign these papers!”
