<html><head></head><body>As soon as Lucille finished her words, there was a strange silence in the room. After a long time, Howard said in disbelief, “What did you say?” Lucille yawned lazily and tossed the papers she had in her bag onto the floor. “You can read it yourself.” Howard was stunned for a second, and then rushed over like a mad man, kneeling on the ground and picking up the document. When he saw the contents of the document and the signature at the end, he was furious and his body trembled with anger. “Bastard! How could I be a heartless b*stard like you be my daughter?” So what did it mean, now that 40% of the shares were no longer in the family? It meant that whoever bought these shares would be the largest shareholder of the company. It meant that the power in his hands would be divided. In the future, no matter what decision he made, he had to ask the other party for their authorisation! If the person who becomes the shareholder turns out to be one of their competitors, then Jules Group would be finished. Howard was so angry that he felt dizzy. He really wanted to rush over and strangle this unfilial daughter! Lucille sneered. “So now you’re all worked up. What’s the matter? It seems like you’re only concerned when your interest comes into play. You said I should give up all the assets I have? Howard Jules, you’re an evil man. Just wait until karma gets you!” “You!” Howard was so angry that he almost fainted. “You unfilial girl! How dare you call me by my name!” Lucille ignored him and continued to say coldly, “It’s up to me to decide who my assets go to, not you.” “You!!!” Howard’s blood pressure soared, and he couldn’t breathe. He raised his hand and was about to slap her in the face. Lucille stopped him and tightened her grip around his wrist. “You’ve already beaten me once at the police station, yet you still want to hit me a second time? In your dreams!” “You, you!!!” Howard was so angry that he couldn’t even speak. His vision darkened and he fell back. He was so angry that he fainted. “Dad!” ‘Dad!” Zoey and Charles stepped forward in panic and helped him up. “Dad! Don’t scare me!” Zoey cried out like a little doe. While this was all happening, she managed to sneak an SOS message to Samuel, She wanted Samuel to see Lucille’s ugly personality with his own eyes. She wanted him to completely despise her! Charles looked at the unconscious Howard and turned his head to glare at Lucille angrily. “Lucille! You’ve gone too far! No matter what, he is still your father. How can you disobey him again and again until he fainted?! Will you only be satisfied when you ruin this family?” So threats didn’t work, and now they’re resorting to gaslighting. Lucille gave a cold snort. “I’m going too far? Who forced me to sign those papers first? Who called a bunch of bodyguards to beat me up? Who was the one, who mistreated his own blood for someone he adopted? Charles, I’m your biological sister. Aren’t you afraid our mother’s soul might haunt you if she knew what you were doing?” Charles was shocked by her words and was speechless for a while. That’s right. Lucille was his actual sister. When she was young, she was also the little princess that he doted on. How did she end up like this today? Lucille stared at him coldly and said word for word, “You didn’t treat me as your sister, neither did he treat me as his daughter. Just for that adopted sister, you treated me like scum. If I were to die, the both of you wouldn’t even care! But if Zoey were to get the slightest cut, you would rush to her aid.” At this point, Lucille felt a lump in her throat. All the sadness and disappointment she felt was overwhelming. She took a deep breath and continued, “Let the past be the past. Today, I just want all of you to know…” Before she could finish her sentence, Zoey shouted exaggeratedly and interrupted her on purpose. “Dad! You’re awake? Charles, look! Dad’s awake.” Charles was successfully distracted. He turned around and asked, “Dad! How do you feel?” Howard got up with a livid face and glared at Lucille. “You unfilial daughter. From now on, I’m cutting you out from the family! Get out of here! Right now!” Lucille raised her eyebrows and said no more. She quickly went upstairs to gather her belongings to leave. Seeing that she was really going to leave, Zoey became anxious. How could she let her go so easily? They hadn’t gotten a hold of the money she got from selling the shares! “Dad!” Lucille grabbed Howard’s hand anxiously. “Let’s not be anxious! Lucille is still your daughter. We can just ask for the money she got from selling the shares!” Hearing this, Howard was stunned. “Yes! Why didn’t I think of it?” All that anger must have gone to her head. “You evil spawn! Don’t leave just yet!” Howard roared at Lucille’s back with all his might. “Where’s the money from selling the shares? Hand it over now!” 40% of the shares was worth at least a billion dollars. With this money, he could buy the shares again and emerge as the largest shareholder. Lucille stopped at the door and tilted her head slightly. Her back was straight and proud. “Sorry, I sold it noveldrama for one billion dollars and donated every last penny of it.” Boom! Howard only felt that he had been struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot. Lucille scoffed coldly and ignored the few people behind her. She carried her bag and strode away. Behind her, Madam Dahlia ran up to her. “Miss Lucille! I’m coming with you!” Madam Dahlia had witnessed Lucille grow up. She was the only person in the Jules family who truly loved her. She was afraid that her life with the Jules family wouldn’t be pleasant after Lucille left, so she wanted to come along with her. Lucille turned back and looked at her with a smile. “Okay,” she said. They left the villa and hailed a cab by the roadside. All of a sudden, a luxurious sedan appeared out of thin air and came roaring right at Lucille. Madam Dahlia was so scared that she screamed, “Miss! Get out of the way!” Lucille, on the other hand, stopped in her tracks. She sneered as she watched the car continue to speed towards them. Sure enough, the car finally came to an abrupt stop 10 meters away from her. Samuel got out of the car in cold sweat as he shouted, “Why didn’t you move aside? Did you want to die?” He couldn’t help feeling that Lucille had gone mad. Otherwise, why would she not hide when she saw him coming straight at her? What if he lost control and knocked her? It didn’t matter if she died, but her blood would be on his hands. Lucille sneered and stared at him as if he were a rat. Samuel was stunned again. He had thought that she would be scared of him. Who would have thought that she would look at him with such disdain! He gritted his teeth and said grumpily, “What are you looking at? No matter how long you stare, I won’t fall for you. I just want Zoey!” Lucille couldn’t hold back it in and burst out in a fit of laughter, Samuel’s face darkened. “What are you laughing at?” “I’m laughing at you. You’re stupid and narcissistic. Not to mention, despicable and shameless. You’re a perfect match for that dumba** Zoey.” “You!” Samuel was so angry that his eyes were twitching. You dare call us names?” Lucille raised her brows and smiled arrogantly. “I never curse at humans, only monsters.” After that, she turned around proudly and left indifferently. Samuel stared blankly at her back as she left. It took him quite a while to understand what Lucille meant. He clenched his fists angrily and yelled in her direction. “Lucille! Just you wait! This weekend is my grandparents’ diamond anniversary. On the day of the banquet, I will announce the cancellation of our engagement in public!” </body></html>
