You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel 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.

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.
