Chapter 246
Beaten to Death
Even though it was not the first time that Lucille had heard such words, she could still feel a chill in her heart from the original host.
It was nice to have someone protecting you.
The corner of her mouth twitched and she revealed a mocking smile. "I can't tell if you're playing dumb or not, Charles. Let me tell you. If I don't find Yoshua, he will be beaten to death. Do you believe me?" "No."
Charles answered without hesitation.
"We're just locking him up and restricting his freedom so that he won't ruin the wedding. That's such a lame excuse, Lucille. Even a child wouldn't believe you, "he continued.
Lucille suddenly burst into laughter. She looked up at Charles and said
emotionlessly, "I see. You're not playing dumb. You're really just that stupid. Now, get out of my way."
"Don't even think about it!" Charles straightened his neck and added, "I won't give you a chance to hurt Zoey again!"
Fine, then.
Lucille had been patient enough. She flung Charles over her shoulder and threw him to the ground. After that, she strode toward the guest room behind the hotel.
If Yoshua was locked up, that was the only place he could be.
Charles was in so much pain that his bones were about to shatter. By the time he managed to crawl up again, Lucille was nowhere to be seen in the long corridor. "You've crossed the line, Lucille!"
He rubbed his tailbone and cursed several times.
Meanwhile, in the guest room, Joanne poked her head out and waited for Lucille to come. She couldn't help but ask the attendant at the door, "Are you Beaten to Death
2/3
sure she's here? You didn't mistake her for someone else, did you?"
"Don't worry, Miss. It's definitely her!"
"Alright..."
Joanne was patient and waited for over a minute. Finally, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar.
She quietly poked her head out to take a look and saw that it was indeed
Lucille.
Joanne excitedly pushed the man she had hired and urged, "Go and get ready. Do what I told you before. Even if you have to use force, you have to destroy her."
"No problem." The man patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Miss Joanne. It's nothing big at all. I'm experienced in this!"
"Yes." Joanne watched the man enter the room she had prepared with
satisfaction.
All kinds of incense was lit in the room.
All she had to do was wait to lure Lucille in and then take a bunch of indecent photos. Lucille would definitely be completely ruined. Joanne suppressed her excitement and walked out of the corner.
However, what she didn't know was that after she left, Zoey was hiding in the bathroom next to her and heard everything clearly.
Zoey had never imagined that Joanne would be so bold as to think of the idea of ruining Lucille's innocence.
She sure was cruel and vicious.
At first, she thought that Joanne would just try to make things difficult for Lucille after tricking her into attending the banquet. She didn't expect that Joanne would come up with such a sinister idea. It was a wonderful surprise for her.
A cold smile appeared on Zoey's face.
It seemed that she had to add fuel to the fire. After Joanne succeeded, she had
Beaten to Death
3/3
to find a way to gather the people in the banquet hall in front to let them all see Lucille in her most shameful moment.
Zoey quietly left and walked toward the front hall.
Lucille didn't know where Yoshua was locked up. On her way over, she
searched all the conference rooms and storerooms in the hotel where there might be people hiding, but she still found nothing.
She couldn't go on like this.
Lucille turned around and was about to go to the security room to get the surveillance footage.
At that moment, Joanne popped up out of nowhere. She jutted her chin and said, "Hey, Lucille. Are you looking for Yoshua? I know where he is. I can take you there!"
There was no way the high and mighty daughter of the Gilbert family would be that kind.
Lucille ignored her and kept going.
Joanne was getting anxious.
