My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess

Chapter 66

Lucille, who had been taken away, confessed to everything.

She admitted that she was the one who made the first move.

At that moment, Wayne was still in the hospital. The Carter family was determined to press charges to

the end, so Lucille had no choice but to stay locked up in the detention center.

The room was tiny. She was surrounded by walls, with a door on one of them. There was only a single

iron bed and a small sink inside. The wall was very dirty, with black footprints everywhere, as well as

random graffiti.

In the corner, a small black spider was diligently weaving a net.

Lucille squatted on the ground and watched as the spider slowly weaved its trap.

Right then, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the iron door. It was magnetic and pleasing to

the ear, with a hint of vague teasing….

“People are busy trying to convict you, yet you’re here watching a spider spin its web?”

Lucille turned her head and saw that the man outside the door was none other than Joseph.

Under the dazzling light, his facial features were even more pronounced, as if he was a statue. His

handsome face was white as snow, looking rather pale and nearly translucent. However, when paired

with his ardent gaze, he looked wicked.

Lucille stood up and gazed at Joseph through the iron door. Suddenly, she grinned brightly and said,

“Can’t you tell I was waiting for you?”

From her tone, it seemed that she was certain that he would come.

Joseph raised his eyebrows and calmly asked, “How could you be sure that I would come?”

“I wasn’t, but…” Lucille patted the nonexistent dust off her body and slowly muttered, “We’re already

legally married. How can you not save me when I’m in peril, Mr. Joseph?”

Essentially, she was saying that since they were working together, there was no way he wouldn’t help

her with such a small problem.

Lucille was well aware that after she got locked up, Howard would just take advantage of the situation

to hit her while she was down. The only person who could protect her was Joseph.

At the thought of that, Lucille couldn’t help but admit that being on good terms with Joseph was

definitely something to be grateful for. It meant that she could do whatever she wanted in Shein City.

Joseph chuckled and then raised his hand.

Culver, who was behind him, immediately stepped forward and opened the iron gate.

The guard at the side seemed conflicted. He whispered, “It won’t be easy for us to explain to the Carter

family if you take her away before the situation is resolved, Mr. Joseph…” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Joseph had the ghost of a smile on his face. He still looked as casual as before, seemingly nonchalant,

but there was an invisible murderous aura around him that exuded a huge pressure.

“Who does the Carter family think they are? How dare they lock up one of my people?”

The guard’s heart skipped a beat. The expression in his eyes changed when he looked at Lucille

again.

The infamous abandoned daughter of the Jules family turned out to be one of Joseph’s people.

Impressive. The Carter family, who had always acted arrogant, could no longer afford to do so.

Joseph grabbed Lucille’s hand and led her out.

The two of them walked side by side in the dark corridor, and the white lamp behind them cast their

shadows. Looking at his big hand holding hers, Lucille couldn’t help but struggle. “Joseph, let go of me.

I can walk by. myself.”

Even though they had to act like an engaged couple on the surface, they didn’t have to hold hands

every time…. Unexpectedly, not only did he refuse to let go of her, he even responded in a serious

tone, “I can’t see the way

ahead. You have to lead me.”

Lucille was speechless.

The corner of her mouth twitched. It was indeed a little dark there, but it was ridiculous to say that he

couldn’t see the path in front of him.

However, considering that he was the one who had rescued her, Lucille didn’t retort.

When they left the detention center, the sun was shining brightly outside.

“You can see now, right?”

After that, Lucille was about to break free from Joseph’s hand when he coughed twice. Then, his tall

and heavy body collapsed onto her.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you?”

Lucille instinctively caught hold of Joseph. Only then did she realize that his face was paler than it had

been in the detention center earlier…
