Obedient and Smart

Before Lucille could say anything, the little cat in Joseph's arms meowed. Its amber-like eyes were gorgeous, and its little head was moving. She looked obedient and smart.

As soon as Joseph reached out, the little cat rubbed its head against his hand.

It was an alluring thing to watch.

Lucille lowered her gaze and voiced the question that was on her mind.

"Joseph, why did you give me the jade pot?"

"It's exquisite and small. I figured you would like it." He thought she would like it, so he gave it to her for no other reason.

"Then..." Lucille's hand quietly tightened. She raised her head and asked again, "What about the CD?"

He had spent one billion dollars to buy the CD. She refused to believe that it was just a coincidence.

Joseph raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hm? Aren't you a fan of

Annabelle? Otherwise, why would you beat Wayne up for insulting her?"

Lucille was stunned for a moment. For a moment, all of her tension. disappeared.

That was a good excuse. No one would suspect her identity.

Lucille heaved a sigh of relief with her lips curled into a bright grin.

"Yes, I'm Annabelle's fan. Thank you for helping me buy this CD, Mr. Joseph. Good night."

With that, Lucille turned around and returned to her bedroom.

She locked the door and windows, closed the curtains, and then picked up her laptop. After a few seconds of hesitation, she put the CD inside. Obedient and Smart

Lucille took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Soon, the computer screen lit up, and she heard a familiar and musical tune. The woman's voice was like the sound of nature, melodious and beautiful. It was gentle and comforting like a spring breeze or a drizzle.

A beam of light lit up the dark stage.

Under the illumination, the woman was dressed in red. Her long hair was tied into a simple bun, with only a hairpin. When she turned around, her face was full of theatrics. Her expressions were vibrant, and she looked. lively. Between every expression she made, there was a combination of gracefulness and gentleness. When she danced, she was as elegant as a

swan.

That was the most beautiful woman who had been famous all over the world, Annabelle.

With her beauty and moving tone, she became famous with her songs and became known all over the country.

She was the wife of the God of War in Dilsburg, Hamilton Jules.

Besides that, she was Lucille's mother.

The sound continued to linger after the song was done.

The video kept playing, and the camera followed Annabelle to the lounge. backstage.

She washed the makeup off her face and said to the camera with a smile," Tomorrow is my precious daughter's birthday. Bobo, I'm sure you have no idea that Grandma and I have prepared a birthday gift for you! This gift is a little special, though. You have to find it yourself!"

It cut to a different video, and a kind-looking old lady wearing glasses appeared.

Lucille muttered, "Grandma..."

Under the lens, Madam Jules pushed her glasses up. Her wise and loving eyes seemed to look straight through the screen as if she was gazing at Obedient and Smart

Lucille. She stated, "You have to find my gift for you, Bobo. It's hidden in-"

There was no sound after that. They had seemingly put defensive measures in place, and she had to read her grandmother's lips.

Lucille was shocked. She went back and rewatched it several times. In the end, she was sure that the words her grandmother said were "Talford Village".

That happened to be her grandmother's hometown.

There was no need for them to spend so much effort preparing a birthday gift for the seven-year-old Lucille.

There had to be more to it.

On top of that, the Jules family was destroyed immediately after that. As a science and technology professor, her grandmother devoted her whole life to research, but in the end, she and her grandfather both died in a mysterious car accident.

There was undoubtedly a complicated backstory to it.

She had to go to Talford Village.

At the end of the video, there were two gentle and loving faces who were smiling.
