Chapter 288
His handsome gaze was lazy and wicked. The comers of his thin lips curled up slightly. The faint smile on his face was dangerous yet seductive. Lucille glanced at Joseph before looking away. When she was done eating, she put down her cutlery and told Madam Collins,
"I'm done, Grandma." She hadn't eaten much other than a few mouthfuls.
Madam Collins figured that she just had a small appetite, so she didn't force her. Lovingly, she said, "Lucille, you must be tired after climbing the mountain today. Good girl. I'll get Madam Louise to take you upstairs to rest." "Okay
Lucille stood up and followed Madam Louisa u
a upstairs.
"Have a good rest, Mrs. Collins you need anything, just call me Madam Louisa led Lucille to the door of the room and spoke to her respectfully. Then, she turned around and
left.
The bedroom was very big. It was the same one where Lucille and Joseph had stayed together last time. This time, however, there was a small sofa, and the lock probably wouldn't stop working.
Lucille closed the door. She took off her shoes and lay on the bed. Then, she pulled the thin blanket and covered herself from head to t
Despite that, as soon as she closed herpes, all she could think about were the things that happened in Dilsburg
As well as those eyes that always locked at her with a smile.
Lucile let out a soft breath. It she wasn't mistaken, Frank must have been in the backseat of the car she had passed by earlier that day
she wondered what kind of reaction Frank had when he heard the news of her death.
Lucille lifted the blanket, covering her head, and turned over
While immersed in het mired thoughts, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, in the dining hall downstairs, Joseph also stood up after Lucille went upstairs. He slowly stated, "Grandma, I'm full, too. Please enjoy your meal
Hearing that, Madam Collins was both annoyed and amused. "You didn't even touch your tork
Joseph left his seat and kneaded Madam Collins shoulders, causing her to laugh and scold him. "You always try to coax me like this. Hurry up and go. It's not a big deal" "Yes, Your Highness."
Joseph had a slight smile on his face before he turned around and went upstairs
ACH!!
When he passed by the bedroom, Joseph slowed down. Then, he continued moving forward and entered the study next door.
tuber was sleeping inside, and his head was twitching.
when be heard the click of the door lock, achill ran down his spine. He immediately raised his head and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Joseph "
"Have you found anything about the car 1 asked you to investigate?"
Joseph walked in and sat down on the leather seat.
Yes, Mr. Joseph. This is all the information about that car. Culver politely handed over a document.
Joseph took it and flipped through it.
The surveillance camera had only captured a blurry picture of the car they had passed by on St. Mary Mountain, but the Flying Phoenix logo on the car was shining in the dark night. It was extremely eye-catching "Hiph."
Joseph let out a short with an inexplicable sense of coldness. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and he was surrounded by a sense of oppression,
"So it's the Stewart family from Disburg"
Joseph threw the documents aside and asked casually, "What else did you
you find? What did the head of the Stewart family, Frank, come to Shein City for? Have you found anything?"
"I looked into it, but I didn't find much information Culver lowered his head and cautiously added, "Apparently, Frank was looking for a priest in St. Mary Church, but he couldn't find him, so he returned to Dilsburg overnight." It turned out that he was looking for a priest
Joseph stared at the document that he had thrown aside. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Culver waited with his head lowered. He boldly asked, "Why are you suddenly looking into this, Mr. Joseph?"
Shein City and Dilsburg were totally uninvored.
The same went for the Collins and Stewart familles.
Culver was not a fool. He recalled the unusual behavior Joseph had exhibited at the dining table that night. After thinking about it for a while, he began to worry that it had something to do with Lucille.
He made sure to watch his tone and questioned, "ts it because of Mrs. Collins, Mr. Joseph? She has nothing to do with Frank, though. They're not connected at all"
It was true that there was no connection between the two.
Why was Lucille's reaction so strange when she saw the car, though?
It was as if she knew Frank, and their relationship was not ordinary,
Joseph's gaze was deep. The emotions on his handsome face were hard to decipher.
After a long while, he wamed, 'Don't let Mrs. Collins know about this."
Culver bowed as he answered.
