Chapter 59 Another Scheme

“Come on, let’s drink!”

With her friends urging her on, Lucille finished half a bottle of wine in one go.

Just as she sat back down, she heard someone ask, “Lucille, given how rare it is for us to gather, why do you seem so distracted? You had better not be ogling at other guys, or we’ll snitch on you to Mr. Zack!”

Lucille laughed. “Stop messing around. My sister is over there. Hence, I’m just worried that she has too much to drink.”

Lucille was inherently cunning. Ever since she was young, she knew how to form alliances, leverage resources, and put up an act. Compared to the cold Michaela, it wasn’t difficult for her to make friends with a bunch of young men and ladies from prestigious families.

 

The fact that she was now Zack’s partner elevated her status further. Consequently, she attracted many who seek to ingratiate themselves with her.

The moment Michaela’s name was mentioned, someone added at once, “I must say, Lucille, considering how Michaela has treated you, why do you still care about her?”

 

“I think Lucille is being too kind. When it comes to matters of the heart, there’s just no forcing it. Regardless of what happens, she shouldn’t resort to violence. After all, a girl’s features are everything to her. Any girl would be devastated if she were to be disfigured, isn’t that right?”

“Don’t say that. Michaela didn’t do it on purpose.” Knitting her brows, Lucille put on an aggrieved expression.

“Stop it. There’s no need for you to defend her, for all of us have seen the video. Now that Old Mr. Simmons is dead, the Lingard family’s influence has waned. She has no reason to behave so arrogantly anymore.”

“Exactly! When Lucille finally marries into the Xander family, I want to see how she grovels on the ground, asking to reconcile!”

“At the end of the day, I’m the one that has betrayed her. That’s why I’ve discussed the matter with Zack. If Michaela doesn’t find happiness, both of us will not stop worrying about her.”

Lucille’s spoke with such a sincere tone that seemed to have convinced everyone.

At that moment, the eyes of one of the seated guys, who had not said a word throughout, glistened. With a mischievous smile, he suggested, “Lucille, why don’t I be your brother-in-law!”
