You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 535

Hugo could tell that Lucille's expression was bad after listening to the reporters' words. Her hands,

which were pushing the door, were shaking with anger. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He hurriedly went over there, "Let me close the door."

Hugo pushed her aside and closed the door himself.

She stepped back, and the reporters wanted to push forward. Hugo's body swayed, and it seemed like

he was going to fall down at any second.

When the reporters realized that Hugo was an old man in his 70s, they were all afraid that something

would happen to him, and they had to bear the responsibility. All of them stepped back quickly.

Just like that, without needing to utter a single word, Hugo successfully closed the door.

"What's going on?"

When the door was closed, Aurora had called for Ralph, but she did not follow him out.

There were lots of noises from outside of the door.

"It's nothing." Lucille was in a daze. She picked up her phone and called Marvin.

The phone rang.

Until now, Lucille's heart felt a little relieved. She thought that since the call was connected, he should

be fine. The reporters might have made that up.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one answered the phone. In the end, only a robotic voice

could be heard.

Lucille was unwilling to give up, so she called again.

Soon, someone answered the call.

However, Marvin was not the one who answered. It was a young man.

"Hello."

"Dad..." Lucille was just about to call him, but she soon realized that it was not Marvin. She quickly

said, "I thought this was Marvin Jules' phone number?"

"Hello, you must be Mr. Jules' daughter. I am the lawyer responsible for the execution of his will. Mr.

Jules passed away two weeks ago, and his phone is with me now..."

"What? What are you talking about?"

When she heard what the lawyer said, her head felt like it was about to explode!

"Don't you know? Mr. Jules died from a heart attack two weeks ago. He died before he was sent to the

hospital."

Lucille was lost for words.

When he got no reply from the other side of the phone, the lawyer asked, "Miss Jules, are you still

there?"

She held the phone with trembling hands. "You are lying. My father has been in good health all this

time. How could he suddenly pass away?"

"I am unsure of that. I am only responsible for his will."

"Alright then, thank you."

She hung up the phone and stood there as if she had lost her soul. She wanted to go out, but she was

stopped by Hugo as soon as she took a step.

"Miss Jules, there are still reporters outside."

When Hugo reminded her, she looked at the door and said in a dull voice, "They said that my father

passed away... How, how did I not know about that?"

"Why don't you discuss this matter with Mr. Parker or Mr. Moore?" Hugo pitied her current state, so he

tried to help her out.

"I will give Zoel a call."

Ralph was not at the door just now, so he did not know what happened. He did not even know how the

public twisted his relationship with Lucille.

He only thought that it had something to do with her family affairs.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Ralph turned around, and he was about to take his phone when he heard a knock on the door.

"It seems the reporters just won't give up." Hugo did not intend to open the door.

At this moment, Franklin's voice came from outside of the door, "It's me."

When Hugo heard it, he knew that it was Franklin. He went to confirm it through the intercom, and it

was indeed him who was standing outside the door. There were seven to eight bodyguards in black

flanking him, and it was difficult for the reporters to get close.

Seeing this, Hugo opened the door in a hurry.

"Franklin." Lucille turned her head around and saw him coming in. At the same time, she saw the

bodyguards behind him who were blocking the reporters. She felt inexplicably at ease.

"Have you seen the news?" That was the first thing he said when he came in.

"I haven't."

As Lucille spoke, she thought that she should have read the news.

When he saw her turning on her phone, he walked over to her and snatched her phone away. "That's

enough. Stop looking at it. It is all made-up slander."

Franklin was usually a cynic, but that day, his expression was unusually serious. There was a hint of

worry on his handsome face.

"What's going on?" From what he said, Lucille knew that he must have seen the news.

Franklin walked to her side, touched her hair, and sighed, "I used to think that your family only had

small quarrels, but now, it seems that Alma is really bold. She is bold enough to do anything."

"What happened? What do you mean by that? What did she do? Did she kill my father?"

Lucille was a little anxious when she heard what he said.

When she was not even informed of Marvin's death, she could tell that there was something wrong.

"Don't worry, and let me explain slowly." Franklin first tried to persuade her. "This morning, someone

posted rumors about you. Many influencers on Twitter retweeted it. After that, they released a voice

recording of that day when Alma and Natasha came to find you, but they have edited it."

"What does that mean? Alma did this? But why would she do that?"

"I don't know. I have asked someone to check Marvin's will. It seems that you didn't receive anything.

Perhaps she wants you to have a hard time?" Franklin crossed his arms around his chest.

He was unsure about Alma's purpose. He only thought that she wanted to make things difficult for

Lucille.

"There is something else that you might be embarrassed to talk about, so let me say it."

While Franklin was talking, Zoel's voice came from the other side of the screen wall.

When everyone looked at him, he explained, "The bodyguards outside are holding the line. You guys

didn't close the door properly."

Franklin knew what Zoel was going to say. It was about Ralph, so it was better for him to explain it.

"The main point is that they said that Ralph took Lucille as his final disciple because you two..."

"What?"

Ralph was so mad that his blood was boiling in anger!

"That's right. This is the main matter of the news. Apart from Alma, someone else must be taking the

opportunity to suppress you. Right now, there are many articles about your relationship with Lucille."

Zoel shrugged and shook his head helplessly.

"Which media said that? I will sue them for spreading rumors! I will send them all to jail!"

Ralph never expected these people to offend him!

They sat down in the main hall and discussed countermeasures while Ralph was making phone calls in

his room.

Ever since the incident, Ralph's phone was overwhelmed by people from the art academy.

Although painters marrying young wives was not a new thing in history, it was a completely different

matter if someone else was fabricating it.

"I think we might have a good solution for this matter," Zoel sat there and looked at Lucille, who was not

far away. His playful eyes seemed a little cautious.

"What?" Lucille's mind was still in a mess. "Let's reveal to the public that you are my fiancee. In this

way, Ralph taking you in will be justified."

"Don't even think about it!"

Without waiting for her reaction, Franklin, who was sitting beside her, was the first to refuse!
