Only the weak would resort to such means to scare the other party away.
After the three of them left, the atmosphere in the venue remained tense.
The guests were stunned to know that Lucinda was Benico’s master, but now they were shocked to witness Lucinda publicly slapping Tess.
It was only when Benico appeared through the video call to express warm wishes for the ceremony of the Turner family that the mood gradually improved.
Despite the little bumps in the road, the Turner family was blessed by Benico, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Presley and Mario were excited. They thanked Lucinda over and over.
They then entertained the guests warmly, and the rest of the ceremony went smoothly.
Lucinda wasn’t a fan of these kinds of events, so she found a quiet spot in the aisle.
Once she was sure that nobody was around, she brought out her phone and dialed a number.
A calm and aged voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding excited.
“Since you left Redview, I haven’t heard anything from you. Then the Simmons family announced your supposed death, and I lost sleep over it for days. But now here you are, alive and kicking.”
Lucinda chuckled.
“They say the bad guys live forever, and I’m pretty bad. So, no dying for me anytime soon.”
Benico couldn’t help but smile at Lucinda’s self-mockery.
Lucinda quickly changed the look on her face to a serious one.
“Thank you for what you did today.”
Benito responded, “No problem. You’re my master in a way.”

Back when Lucinda was a child, she was sent to Redview to train in martial arts under the tutelage of a reclusive master. Benico was her senior in training.
Despite Lucinda’s young age, she quickly proved herself to be a natural, picking up new moves with ease and even improving upon them.
In fact, she even beat Benico in a competition. After that, Benico begged Lucinda to teach him the new moves, and Lucinda playfully insisted that Benico refer to her as ‘master.’
During the video call earlier, Benico could tell that someone was intentionally making things difficult for Lucinda so he was happy to help out.
Memories of their training days flooded back and they both sighed nostalgically.
As Lucinda debated whether to ask Benico about her other seniors from Redview, the sound of wheels coming her way grew louder and louder, interrupting their conversation.
Lucinda quickly hung up the phone and turned to see Jennifer slowly wheeling towards her from the end of the corridor.
