"Really?" Lucille leaned into Samuel's arms. Choked up, she asked, "When will you marry me, Samuel? I don't want to be scolded anymore. We love each other, but people keep saying that I'm a homewrecker who ruined your marriage with Lucille..."
At the mention of that, Zoey was so angry she gritted her teeth.
She had thought that after Samuel and Lucille broke off the engagement, she would be able to smoothly become the young mistress of the Gilbert family.
Unexpectedly, Samuel's family tried all kinds of tricks to stop it from happening. They didn't approve.
Mrs. Gilbert, Samuel's mother, had said before that only someone from a rich family could be worthy of her son. Thus, Zoey wanted to persuade Howard to transfer some of the Jules family's company shares to her. Originally, they had planned to transfer to her the shares under Lucille's name. Unexpectedly, Lucille played a wild card and sold all the shares.
Fortunately, that idiot Charles had transferred all his shares to her.
