My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess1
Mount Ocean House was indeed living up to its name as the world renown pawn shop. Its decor inside
was extremely luxurious, as evidenced by its jade floors.
As soon as Lucille stepped into the shop, someone greeted her with a smile. “Miss, do you need any
help?”
Lucille nodded. “I want to pawn something of mine.”
The man immediately bowed and gestured with a smile, “Please, follow me.”
A few seconds later, Lucille was brought to a secluded room.
Before her chair could even get warm, two appraisers dressed smartly in suits and leather shoes walk
in with briefcases in each hand.
After they settled, Lucille went straight to the point. “I want to sell 40% of the Jules Group’s shares.
Please, give me your best price.”
It was obvious that the other party was used to such bold gestures. His expression remained the same.
“Sure. However, according to the rules, Mount Ocean House gets one percent as commission. So tell
me, Miss, do you still agree to our deal?”
Lucille smiled. “Of course, that’s only fair.”
After that, she pulled out the shareholder’s agreement as well as the land title documents for the Jules
family’s villa and handed them to the appraiser. “In addition, I want you to sell this villa for me.”
The appraiser nodded, took both documents from her and began to review them.
The Jules family’s villa was located in a residential area where famous, wealthy people lived. It was a
golden. spot that spanned quite some distance. Naturally, the price would not be low.
After thinking about it for some time, he quoted her with a price of 100 million dollars.
Lucille raised an eyebrow and tapped her finger on the table.
After all, Shein City was not as developed as Dilsburg. To be able to sell it for that much was already a
miracle:
After reviewing the villa, the appraiser moved onto her shares from Jules Group.
Although Jules Group was quite a big company, Howard had recently made several questionable calls
which caused their stock prices to plummet continuously. This, decreased their value tremendously in
the business. world.
The best offer he could give her was a billion dollars.
It was a total of one point one billion. Putting aside the thousand dollar fee that she had to pay Mount
Ocean House, Lucille would still be able to earn more than a billion.
It might’ve sound like a lot, but in fact, Lucille was at a deficit.
However, she didn’t feel like it was a loss.
Without saying a word, she signed the contract without hesitation.
At this time, the appraiser, who hadn’t said a word since the beginning, finally broke his silence. “Miss,
are you sure you don’t want to give it more thought?”
After Lucille finished signing, she leaned back in a domineering manner. “I never regret the decisions I
make.” He couldn’t help but see Lucille in a different light.
For someone her age, she had such courage and boldness. The appraiser could tell that she was
going to be a bigshot in the future.
He solemnly accepted the documents and passed them over to the guy beside him to transfer the
ownership. Reassuring her, he said. “The reason how our business has grown so big, is because
honesty is the motto we live by. One billion eight thousand and nine hundred dollars isn’t a small
number, but we have enough capital. Don’t worry, the money will be transferred to your account in two
hours.”
Lucille leaned her face against the palm of her hand and said in a laid back manner, “There’s no need
for that. Please donate the one billion to charity and transfer the remaining money for the villa to me.”
Hearing this, the appraiser could no longer keep his cool composure. “Wha- I’m sorry, donate it?”
Was he mistaken?

Why would someone donate everything they have to charity?
“That’s right,” Lucille said. “Remember to donate it under my name.”
She wanted to make sure the people who received her kindness remembered her name.
They shouldn’t forget someone as generous as her.
The appraiser was shocked by her generosity. He quickly prepared the charity donation list. After
Lucille signed her name, he looked at her with great respect and said, “Thank you, Miss Jules, for your
contribution to charity. Those who have received your help will always remember you.”
Lucille didn’t say anything. She just smiled, took the documents and the certificate of donation, then
turned to leave.
As she walked down the corridor, she could hear the noise of banter coming from another room.
She stopped in her tracks and listened for a while.
The person in charge followed behind her and explained awkwardly, “I apologize for the ridiculous
noise. Not long ago, we received a property to auction for next month, but it’s something that you can’t
put a price on. Hence, the debacle on what to set the starting price at.”
Lucille nodded slightly and couldn’t help glancing over.
Somehow, she could feel this magnetism towards the room that made her zoom in closer.
She narrowed her eyes and wanted to see what it was, but there were too many people in the
conference room and she couldn’t see anything.
The person in charge seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said with a smile, “Miss Jules,
don’t you worry. We will advertise all our items from the auction in three days time. If you’re interested,
you can keep an eye out then.”
Lucille withdrew her gaze and shook her head with a smile. “Forget it, I don’t have enough money left
for you.” the person in charge was amused by her and chuckled. “You really are the jokester.”
After that, she couldn’t help but sized Lucille up from head to toe.
Rumors said that the fifth daughter of the Jules family was an introvert with a bad attitude and no
manners. But after meeting her today, it seemed that the rumors were not true.
It was evident that Lucille was an elegant girl that shone in the dark like the moon!
In a small room within the kitchen…
Culver pushed the door open in a rush and barged in. He whispered in Joseph’s ear, “Miss Jules left for
Mount Ocean House. She sold the shares of Jules Group and even the Jules family villa! She would’ve
earned a billion dollars but she donated all of it instead!”
He continued to whisper, “I heard when she signed the paper for donation, she didn’t even bat an eye.
If Howard found out, he would die of anger!”
Joseph’s thin lips curved into a smile as a hint of interest flashed across his eyes. “Well, it’s definitely
something she’s capable of.”
Culver was extremely surprised. “But wasn’t that what her mother left for her. How could she just
donate it without any hesitation?”
Joseph glanced back and said in a low voice, “That’s her personal property. Even if she were to give it
up for free, no one should have a say in it.”
Culver immediately shut up.
.Got it!
Mr. Joseph didn’t even know the details of what went down, but he was already protecting her name
from a
corner.
If he really managed to win her heart, wouldn’t he spoil her rotten?
Culver gulped as he worked up the courage to ask him if he truly fancied Lucille.
As soon as his lips parted, someone knocked on the door.
“Please come in.”
Lucille pushed open the door and walked in briskly. “Sorry for making you wait so long.”
Joseph looked at her intently. He stood up and helped her pull out a stool. “It’s fine. Sometimes it’s
worth waiting for nice things.”
His words always had a deeper meaning behind them, and Lucille couldn’t help but feel that he was
implying something.
As her gaze intertwined with his, she was greeted with a cheeky grin as he passed her a menu, “I’m noveldrama
talking. about the food.”
Lucille was speechless.
Culver, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but feel nervous for him.
Mr. Joseph!
This isn’t how you get the girl!
Lucille took the menu. Ignoring the 4 digit prices of all the dishes, she graciously ordered eight dishes.
At the end of it, she decided to kindly add on a big bowl of herbal tonic soup.
Lucille raised her eyes and looked at Joseph, who had by now gone green. She smiled meaningfully.
“The soup is good for you, especially men as weak as you.”
The man’s face sank. After a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, “Miss Jules, you seem to care a lot
for my body. Is it because…”
Lucille’s smile froze. “What is it?”
Joseph stopped mid sentence to leave the rest up to her imagination.
As if he had said something inappropriate, Lucille coughed lightly and picked up her cup of water to
ease the awkwardness.
After dinner, Lucille managed to get the bill ahead of Joseph.
“Let me pay this time. Since you’ve helped me out so much, we’ll call it even once this meal is over.”
Joseph had been in a good mood at first, but when he heard the phrase ‘call it even’, his face
immediately. darkened.
He turned around and forced Lucille into a corner. “So, you want plan to use this meal to draw a line
between the both of us?”
