Chapter 494
Lucille did not say anything more after listening to Zoel.
She got up, picked up the feather duster and started cleaning the paintings on the wall in the gallery.
Seeing that, Zoel did not force her but said instead, "Forget it, think for yourself. I am indeed doing it for
your own good."
Lucille did not respond to him. She just focused on what she was doing.
Throughout the day, Lucille kept all the grievances in her heart. When it was time to get off work, she
got dressed immediately, hailed a cab and rushed to Franklin's company.
Lucille stood outside Franklin's company and saw Natasha from a distance, who was dressed
gorgeously with a face full of makeup.
Although Natasha was younger than her, she liked a sexy style after she had started working, which
made her look more mature.
Lucille did not dare to go in, hence she just stood at the entrance.
However, Natasha saw her.
She walked out with a sarcastic look and asked, "Lucille, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for
President Moore?"
Lucille did not expect to be noticed by Natasha.
She had to admit it, "Yeah."
She was indeed looking for Franklin.
"President Moore isn't here today." Natasha said.
"He isn't here?" Lucille was surprised.
"Yeah, he isn't here." Natasha glanced at the bag in Lucille's hand and thought of something, "Well,
Lucille. I planned to get a new cell phone recently. If you are willing to sponsor me, I can tell you where
President Moore usually goes."
She pretended to be innocent and tried to seduce Franklin previously, but it ended up with her few
months of salary being deducted.
Natasha put all the blame on Lucille, thus she naturally wanted to find a chance to get some money
back. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"I don't have much money."
Lucille was telling the truth.
After she married Franklin, he did not allow her to work. After she was divorced, her only source of
income was her job in the gallery, plus the money paid by Mark on that day.
In fact, it happened to be Lucille's richest day over the last few months.
Listening to what Lucille said, Natasha was not worried. Instead, she said, "Lucille, aren't you here
waiting for President Moore? But you also know the difference between our family and Mr. Moore's.
Without my help, I'm afraid that you won't be able to meet him even after your labor."
Natasha didn't know what happened that day.
However, she could tell that Lucille was most probably looking for Franklin because of the child.
It was the only possible connection between the two of them.
Lucille was speechless. She held her wallet in one hand and gritted her teeth, "How much do you
want? I...I only have around 3,000 dollars in my card."
She had more than that, but she knew Natasha well, thus she deliberately told the bare minimum
amount.
"3,000 dollars?"
Natasha curled her lips. Usually, it was Alma who gave Natasha money to spend. Alma was a stingy
person who only gave Natasha little amount of money. However, the amount was still much more than
Lucille's salary.
They were both the daughters of the Jules family, but Natasha actually had a good life.
"I want 5,000 dollars. You can pay me in installments so I can tell you where President Moore is going
tonight."
Natasha was calculating that 5,000 dollars was enough to buy a pair of branded high-heels.
"5,000 dollars?"
The amount was really a lot for Lucille.
"Yes, if you are not willing, then I'll go back inside." Natasha was afraid that Lucille didn't believe her
telling about the absence of Franklin, "You can just wait here, I'm going to get off work soon. If you find
me again tonight, I will increase the price."
Natasha spoke as she was about to walk into the company building. Lucille, who had suppressed her
emotion for the whole afternoon, was very impulsive at that moment.
When she saw that Natasha was about to leave, she quickly said, "Deal! I'll pay you in three months, is
that alright? My salary is little and I still have to pay for meals and transportation..."
"It takes you three months to pay me 5,000 dollars? Lucille, you are just too miserable. Why don't you
ask Mom to get you another husband? You are a divorcee and even have had a miscarriage. It's
definitely that you can't get a good one, but..."
"I'll pay you in three months and I'll transfer 2,000 to you now."
Lucille couldn't stand it anymore, and she took the initiative to transfer money.
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone, entered Natasha's account number and keyed in 2,000
dollars in the transfer amount field.
Natasha nodded, "Well, three months then."
"After all, it's better to get some than not." Natasha thought to herself.
After Natasha confirmed receiving the money from Lucille, she uttered, "Let me get the information for
you and tell you through WhatsApp."
"You... you won't lie to me, will you?" Lucille asked.
2,000 dollars was not a small amount for Lucille at that moment.
"Of course not, you're my sister. Since I've taken your money, of course, I'll provide you the accurate
information."
Natasha went into the building again while her colleague at the front desk, Lena, had left. At that
moment, she took out her cell phone and contacted Franklin's driver.
A few days ago, Franklin's driver went to the front desk to chat with Lena and her while he was waiting
for Franklin.
Over time, the three of them became acquainted.
Therefore, whenever Natasha asked about Franklin's location, the driver would tell her without
hesitation.
"Mr. Moore will go to Neon Bar tonight. I don't know the exact time, but he will be there definitely."
Lucille found a place to sit down. It didn't take long for her to receive an update from Natasha.
She was not sure if Natasha would lie to her, but she could only believe her at the moment.
That night, Lucille waited at the entrance of Neon Bar after having a simple meal.
It was a very famous entertainment venue in the A City.
As the minimum spend for a person was rather exorbitant, the people who went there were not any
ordinary people.
It was almost November when the weather was getting colder. Lucille waited outside with a thin
sweater. She felt alright at first. However, after a period of time, she felt chilled to her bone.
She kept rubbing her arms, suspecting that Natasha had lied to her again.
Finally, when it was almost ten, three luxury cars approached one after another. Lucille recognized at a
glance that the one at the front was Franklin's car.
"Mr. Mo..."
Lucille saw the door open. Just as she was about to go over and speak to Franklin, it was not Franklin
who got off the car. Instead, it was Yvonne whom she had met before...
Yvonne raised the corner of her red lips when she saw Lucille. Then she held Franklin's arm naturally
and leaned against his shoulder.
Lucille stood stiffly at the same place. Although she had expected what she would see there, she still
found it heart-wrenching. She felt suffocated when she saw the scene with her own eyes.
Franklin noticed her as well. He squinted his eyes slightly while the smile at the corners of his mouth
disappeared gradually.
He didn't say anything but let Yvonne hold his arm while both of them walk into the bar.
Seeing that Franklin was about to enter, Lucille braced up herself and ran over, "Mr. Moore, I...I have
something to tell you."
"Really?" When Franklin saw her, he naturally thought of what had happened that day and was a little
unpleasant. "Then come in with me and serve me like they do. If you please me, then I will listen to
you."
"I..." Lucille's face turned pale.
She couldn't do such a thing at all.
Franklin could guess what she was thinking. He hissed disdainfully, "Go away if you can't do it. I don't
have time to waste for you."
After hearing what he said, Yvonne took his arm and led him inside.
When the two of them just stepped into the entrance, they heard Lucille's stubborn voice from behind,
"I'm going in, I... I'll serve you."
