Chapter 143

Ran For Her Life

She had to run!

Thinking of that, Jenny stumbled to her feet. She had no time to look at what was happening to Lucile, let alone Joanne, who was being chased by the wild boar.

All she wanted was to escape, so she chose to run in the opposite direction that Joanne was going. She stumbled and ran for her life.

Jenny and Joanne's movements happened to occur

simultaneously with the screams of the thugs. They were drowned out in an instant.

Lucille knocked them all down and said with a faint smile, "Tell me. Who hired you?"

The thugs were in so much pain that they rolled on the ground and grimaced.

The leader snorted and retorted, "Don't ask. I will never tell you!

"It was the Zanes family, wasn't it?" Lucille flicked some

nonexistent dust off her body and nonchalantly remarked, " They're so rich, but they only spent a million in an attempt to get rid of me. Tsk, tsk. They're so stingy." Hearing that, the man was stunned for a moment.

Why was she focused on the money? She didn't care about the fact that someone wanted her legs chopped off, nor did she

care about having offended someone. Instead, she was looking down on them for not spending enough money.

The thugs' faces turned ashen. They looked at each other and saw Lucille pick up her phone to call the police.

There was barely any signal on the back of the mountain, and it was hard to get through. Lucille dialed twice but failed to call them.

A few thugs quietly got up from the ground, picked up the weapons near them, and tried to slam them down on Lucille's

head.

Lucille had noticed it early on and was about to dodge when a tall figure jumped out of the jungle. The person grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the side. The thugs immediately missed their target.

Lucille looked up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Because the person in front of her was Bernard.

The moment he showed up, several of his men did as well.

Before those cruel, fierce thugs could escape, they were held down by Bernard's men.

"Take them down the mountain and send them to the police station," Bernard ordered coldly.

Then, he released Lucille's hand. He frowned slightly and muttered, "Don't come to places like this again."

After that, he turned and left.

Lucille noticed that he took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit, and then... he kept wiping the hand that had just grabbed her.

How could he dislike his own sister so much?

Lucille raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you here, Bernard?"

Bernard stopped in his tracks and turned around. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes under the gold-rimmed

glasses. There was even a hint of scrutiny and indifference in

them.

Instead of answering Lucille's question directly, he replied, Let's go back."

"Okay."

The thugs had been taken away. Lucille followed behind Bernard and slowly walked down the mountain.

Bernard did not intend to wait for her. He walked steadily and strode forward like a shooting star. His straight back quickly disappeared from Lucille's sight.

Even when his younger sister was in danger, he didn't say a word. All he did was reach out to save her. He didn't ask the reason, and he had no interest in knowing if she was hurt. Lucille lowered her gaze..

Perhaps, in his eyes, Lucille wasn't just despicable, but also weak and incompetent. She was useless.

That was a good thing.

Among the people in the Jules family, Bernard was the only one who felt indecipherable. It was better to avoid such a

thoughtful man.

Lucille slowly walked in the direction of Madam Grant's house.

However, as soon as she went down the mountain, she ran into the ashen-faced Samuel.noveldrama

Samuel looked up and saw Lucille. He immediately rushed over, looking like he was going to eat her. He grabbed Lucille's shoulders and asked with gritted teeth, "Where's Joanne? Where did you take her?"
