Chapter 20

Of course, it was one of those kids' parents again.

Since Howard announced that he cut ties with her, those people had been spamming her phone non stop.

Some lowered their heads, begging her for forgiveness.

Some people were still arrogant and claimed that they would kill her if she did not withdraw her report. Lucille picked up her phone to take a look at the screen and hung up. Just as she hung up on one, a new call came in. Lucille was about to hang up once more, but when she glanced at the phone number and found it oddly familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that it was a call from Joseph!

Lucille hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

As soon as the call was connected, the man's deep and magnetic voice resonated through the speaker.

"Good evening."

Lucille walked to the sofa and lay down lazily. "What's the matter?"

She was too lazy to ask how he got her phone number.

"I heard that you cut ties with the Jules family." The man chuckled in a low voice. "I just called to congratulate you."

Lucille raised an eyebrow and flicked her hair. "Thank you for your concern. If there's nothing else, goodbye." "Wait." Joseph quickly stopped her. "Don't hang up yet."

"Is there anything else?" Lucille's voice was as drowsy as a sleeping cat.

The corners of Joseph's lips could not help but curl up as he said in a low voice, "A little bird told me that you're breaking up with Samuel?"

Lucille.raised an eyebrow. "I see rumors spread fast."

This was her way of indirectly confirming it.

The smile on Joseph's face grew even wider. He walked to the window and looked out at the moon. "Got it, good night."

The man's voice was clear and crisp, yet deep and magnetic. When it landed in Lucille's ears, it made her heart tremble inexplicably.

After hanging up, Lucille turned off the lights and went to bed. She lay on the bed and looked out of the window at the moon.

After a long while, it finally dawned on her that Joseph's reply to her breaking off the engagement was 'got it'. So he knows now, what next?
