Future Mistress

"Hmph. It turns out that you're waiting here so eagerly because you're trying to seduce another man."

Joanne clicked her tongue and mocked in a contemptuous, provocative tone, "Makes sense. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you've become Mr. Joseph's fiancee. When Fiona returns to the country in two days, Mr. Joseph won't care about you anymore. It's just a change of taste. Fiona is the future mistress of the Collins family!"

"Okay."

Lucille replied in a laid back manner.

Her indifferent expression made Joanne feel powerless as if

her fist had hit cotton.

Joanne fiercely said, "Showing off, huh? One day, you're finally going to cry. When the time comes, I'll throw a party for you, complete with fireworks and all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the black off-road vehicle stopped in front of Lucille.

The rear window of the car rolled down, revealing Joseph's handsome face.

Why... Why was he here?

Lucille blinked. After a moment of astonishment, she recalled what Joseph had said and finally came to a realization.

It turned out that the owner of the land was actually Joseph.

No wonder.

Lucille looked up at him and stated, "I don't know the price or value of this piece of land. You'll have to name a price."

"Name a price?" he questioned.

Joseph got out of the car and walked up to Lucille step by step. Then, he said unhurriedly, "Why would you have to spend money on something that already belongs to you, Bobo?" Behind her, Culver handed over a thick title deed and

respectfully explained, "Madam, all the title deeds for Talford Village are included here."
