Chapter 9

As the last syllable of Culver's sentence faded, the air grew heavy and still.

The surrounding environment became silent, so much so that even the sound of the wind ceased. Culver quickly realized his mistake and paled in fear. "Mr. Joseph, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it...” Joseph turned around, and his limpid eyes were filled with an inscrutable coldness.

After a brief pause, he spoke sternly. "Go down and accept your punishment, leave my sight!"

Culver shuddered, responding with a trembling voice, "Yes!"

And, he quickly scurried away.

Joseph took a deep breath, turned around, and gazed at the moon behind him. The coldness and aloofness. around him dissipated, leaving only the darkness and solitude that enshrouded him. The dawn began to break.

The rest of the Jules family was still asleep, but Lucille had already started her morning exercise in the garden.

This body was too weak, and she needed to get stronger as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even with all her skills, this body would only hold her back if something happened.

After finishing her exercises, Lucille panted lightly as she made her way back upstairs. However, she encountered Zoey, who was about to head down the stairs.

Zoey was surprised to see Lucille up and exercising so early. She smiled and said, "Lucille, you're up early. You seem to have recovered well."

Lucille couldn't be bothered with her and walked past without even looking.

Zoey wasn't offended at all. She turned to admire Lucille's graceful figure, boasting, "Do you know that Samuel, only likes gentle girls like me? No matter how perfect your figure is, he won't even bother to take a glance at you."

In private, Zoey had never bothered to hide her contempt for the previous owner of this body. Lucille stopped in her tracks, her back turned to Zoey as a cold smirk formed on her lips. Zoey really knew how to hurt her with words, as she clearly knew the previous owner well. The original owner believed Zoey's lies and thought that Samuel liked sexy girls, so she wore a sexy dress on his birthday.

Who knew that Samuel would publicly berate her as shameless and say that only girls like Zoey, who came from a reputable family, were the ones he liked.

Because of this incident, the original owner became everyone's laughingstock, and she never wore a dress again.
