Chapter 353
With that, Lucille left the hospital.
When she reached the hospital entrance, she coincidentally ran into Charles downstairs.

You're Overthinking
Lucille looked straight forward and pretended not to see anything.
Charles stood in front of her angrily. Like a wasp, he approached her and fiercely thundered, Seems like you still have the conscience to come and visit Dad, Lucy!"
Lucille avoided him and replied, "Sorry, but you're overthinking it."
Was he kidding? As if she was kind-hearted enough to come and visit Howard in the hospital.
Anyone with a brain could figure that out.
However, Charles was certain of his assumption. He grabbed her wrist and said, "You're going the wrong way. The patient wards are over here!
Even though he was useless, he was still quite strong.
Lucille rolled her eyes and broke free from his grasp. "Let me repeat myself. You're overthinking it."
"Lucy, I know you're angry. You're mad because Dad gave Zoey the sapphire jewelry that Mom left for you. I heard from Zoey that you already snatched the necklace away, though. Are you still not satisfied?"
Was she still not satisfied?
Still not satisfied?
Even though it was not her first time hearing such words, it still made her disappointed.
Lucille looked into Charles' eyes and asked with a faint smile, "Am I supposed to be content by giving Zoey everything, then? I really don't understand how you guys' brains work. If you guys are such generous people, why don't you just give everything away instead of constantly taking what's mine?" The original host had truly suffered a lot.
"Also, please tell Zoey to return the set of jewelry as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll snatch it back regardless."
Lucille cast an icy glance at Charles and turned to leave.
She didn't care about the sapphire jewelry, but it belonged to the original host. She didn't
mind if it was thrown away or destroyed, but she refused to let Zoey taint it.
Lucille got in the car and left.
Charles stood where he was and stamped his feet in anger.
After arriving at Howard's ward in the hospital, Charles told him what happened. At the end,

he added, "Lucy is really too much. How could I have such an unreasonable sister? As always, Zoey is much better. She's obedient, mature, and kind!"Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Howard was so angry that he kept coughing.
Zoey, who was in charge of taking care of him at his bedside, quickly calmed him down and said with concern, "Dad, don't be angry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken the jewelry out to show off, Lucille wouldn't have seen it..." "It's not your fault. You can wear whatever 1 give you!"
After a long while, Howard calmed down and grumbled, "That incorrigible daughter of mine will make me die of anger sooner or later!"
He used to be in good health. Clearly, he had only gotten sick because of how angry he had been recently.
Ever since the last time he made a scene in Lucille's school, he was still being scolded on the Internet. After seeing that his face had been made into all kinds of stickers, he got so mad that he ended up hospitalized again. Thinking of that, Charles casually said, "That's just how trends are. Most netizens will just go with the flow. Don't be angry, Dad. It's not like you know them, anyway." "Hmph."
Howard didn't say anything.
Charles scratched his head, and an idea came to his mind. "By the way, I heard that a very popular variety show has decided to film in Shein City. They'll be cooperating with Tech Connex Pavilion to shoot the third episode of their survival show. It's a really popular show.. think Zoey should go and take part!"
"Zoey's so pretty, and I'm sure she'll be well-liked by everyone no matter where she goes. That way, if Zoey gets more fans, there will be lots of people supporting us."
"Then, we won't get insulted by those ignorant netizens if something like this happens again.
The more Charles spoke, the more excited he became. "I really think this is a good idea. Dad, Zoey, what do you think?"
Howard rolled his eyes. Last time, he had sent people to set fire to Tech Connex Pavilion. Not only had he failed, but he even made his stepson take the blame for him. Timothy still had not been released yet!
If he could, he would just make Tech Connex Pavilion shut down. Why bother participating in their variety program?
Zoey's eyes flashed slightly, and she inexplicably felt a little tempted.

She once heard from Samuel that the Gilbert fantly was the sponsor of that show. If she wanted to participate, she could easily become the main guest.
What's more, everyone on the show was a big shot. Pretty much all of them were incredibly popular.
With her skills and looks, it wouldn't be difficult for her to attract the attention of the public!

Three Times it a flow
Three Times in a Row
Everyone wanted to be a superstar, after all.
Zoey's heart was full of schemes, but she didn't show it on her face. She revealed a sweet and shy smile and replied, "That makes sense, Charles."
That night....
After leaving the hospital and returning to the Jules family, the first thing Zoey did was call Samuel.
Samuel seemed to be busy doing something, though. She called him three times in a row before he finally picked it up.
At the thought that Samuel was willing to lower himself to become Lucille's servant, Zoey's heart was filled with jealousy. She couldn't hold back her anger for a moment. "Samuel, have you gone looking for Lucille behind my back again?" she asked.
Samuel had been so busy that he barely got the chance to sit down. When he finally freed up two minutes to answer the phone, his face fell instantly. "Did you call me just to question me? It was the first time he had spoken to her in such a cold tone.
Zoey panicked and quickly corrected herself. "I'm sorry, Samuel. Don't be you. I wanted to hear your voice. Don't be mad at me..."
angry. I just miss
In the face of such tenderness, Samuel could not be
angry.
He calmed down and massaged the space between his eyebrows. "I'm at the company. I'll talk to you when I'm done with my work. Be good."
It turned out that he was at the company.
Zoey was relieved. She went on to ask, "Samuel, I want to go participate in a variety show called 'Battle Royale'. Can you tell the director and arrange for me to be a part of it?" Samuel was not only the biggest sponsor of the show, but also an investor.
With just one sentence, she could become the main star of the show, not to mention participate in it.
