Chapter 17

Lucille did not say anything. She walked straight over, picked up the papers from the table, and studied the contents carefully.

The documents detailed clearly that she was to transfer 10% of her shares from Jules Group to Zoey Johnson without any conditions.

Whereas the remaining 30% would be given unconditionally to Howard Jules.

Lucille's head was lowered as she read the documents, but she suddenly burst out into laughter.

Did Howard think she was a fool?

He was going to leave her with nothing, even the vampire isn't as cruel as he is.

"What are you laughing at?" Howard frowned unhappily. "I told you to sign it! What are you waiting for?"

Lucille raised her eyebrows and sat down opposite him. Her chest was puffed out and her hands were crossed like a queen addressing her disciple.

"If you want me to sign this, you need to give me a reason to do so."

Howard frowned impatiently. "What reason do you need? I am your father! You do whatever I say!"

Lucille's lips curled into a smile. "In your dreams."

"You...!" Howard was furious. He could only hold back his anger and say, "Samuel doesn't like you, but we can't call off the marriage between us and the Gilberts. Henceforth, Zoey needs to marry into their family. Give her 10% of your shares as her dowry, that way Zoey can at least marry into their family with her head held high." Lucille was fuming to the brim, but she could only snicker.

Not only did the mistress steal her fiancé, now she had to give her money for the dowry.

How could such a disgusting father exist?

Lucille was so angry that she threw her head back and laughed. She threw the papers onto the coffee table and said, "Do continue."

She wanted to see what else Howard could say.

Howard flicked the cigarette ash and continued, "Zoey's father sacrificed her life back then to save me. Our family owes them a life. Over the years, I have thought of her as my biological daughter. Of course, you should give part of your mother's inheritance to her. That way, the Gilbert family won't look down on her."

Biting her lip, Zoey said with tears in her eyes, "Dad..."
