Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Lucille looked back quietly and saw a teenager around 17 or 18 years old, who was groaning at her.
The young man looked like a porcelain doll, with a little baby fat. He was still childish, and his eyes
were particularly beautiful.
If she remembered correctly, that was probably Austin, Joseph’s cousin.
She remembered how Joseph had bumped into her and Austin when they were eating at a restaurant.
Lucille was about to look away when she heard another snort. Austin lowered his voice and muttered, “I
will never recognize you as my sister-in-law.”
The displeasure on his face was unconcealed. He was so full of anger, and he looked like a textbook
example of a rich family’s idiotic son.
Lucille was certain that if he had not been born into the Collins family, someone would have beaten him
up. What was she going to do… Should she bully him as well?
Lucille sat upright and slowly replied, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”
Hearing this, Austin immediately repeated, “I said, I will never recognize you as my sister-in-law!”
Oh no. It was over.
He didn’t lower his voice, and everyone heard it.
Joseph had a faint smile on his face as he looked at him. “It seems that you’re restless again.”
The word “again” had a knowing tone to it.
Austin shuddered instantly. If someone were to ask who he feared the most at home, then it would
have to be Joseph.
Madam Collins was even more ruthless. She took a sip of tea and uttered, “Sigh… I was going to buy
you that sports car that you like, but now it seems that you don’t need it…”
Plop!
Austin dropped to his knees, which seemed to be a familiar posture for him.
“Grandma, Joseph.” He called out to them one by one. Finally, he said loudly to Lucille, “My sister-in-
law!”
Lucille’s eyelids twitched. She was at a loss for words.
How could he kneel down so easily?
Madam Collins was satisfied. She tugged at Lucille’s hand in a caring manner.
“Lucille, I heard about your father severing ties with you. What do you think? Are you willing to go back
to that house? Don’t worry. With me supporting you, your father will never dare to bully you again!”
Lucille shook her head and refused. “He’s not my father.”
She understood that Madam Collins was speaking completely out of kindness. She was worried that
Lucille would feel uncomfortable after getting kicked out of her house and facing gossip from the public,
so Madam Collins wanted to back her up.
However, that place had never been home to her in the first place.
Madam Collins nodded. She totally respected Lucille’s wishes, especially when she thought of
Howard’s harsh words when he publicly severed his relationship with Lucille. How could he be
considered a father? So what if -he disowned her?
“Good girl.” Madam Collins patted the back of Lucille’s hand lovingly and muttered, “From now on, this
place will be your home.”
Lucille smiled and politely responded, “Thank you, Grandma.”
“By the way, Lucille, how about we hold the engagement party this Saturday? I consulted someone,
and the weather that day will be good. It’s a lucky date, too,” Madam Collins suggested.
“Sure.”
Either way, it was just a contract between her and Joseph. It didn’t matter what day the party was held.
That made Madam Collins so happy that she could not even close her mouth. She immediately said to
the servant beside her. “Hurry up and call the tailor over!”
Soon, the tailor arrived
She was the best tailor in all of Shein City. Her exquisite and extraordinary embroidery was famous all
over the world It was said that she could embroider anything, so she was also said to have golden
hands.
Madam Collins said, “Come, Lucille. Let the tailor take your measurements. Also, you can tell her what
kind of style you would want for the wedding dress, as well as any thoughts you have about it.”
Wedding dress?
Lucille was stunned. She had only agreed to the engagement, not to a marriage.
Fortunately, Joseph cleared his throat and helped her out. “Grandma, she’s still young. Let’s talk about
marriage in the future.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
