Synopsis

Lucille Johnson's mother suddenly dies, and her father can't wait to welcome his mistress and her daughter into the family. Her grandfather says, "You're an ingrate and an imbecile. You don't deserve to be a member of the Johnson family!" Her father says, "How did I ever end up with you as a daughter? You heartless monster!" Her stepmother says, "Bree's always been weak, even as a child. How could you force her to the point of death over a man?" Lucille becomes the worst socialite in Whiteloop City, but she doesn't bother explaining herself. One day, a group of bigwigs start speaking up on her behalf online. Wait—isn't Lucille supposed to be a powerless socialite who's fallen from grace?

Chapter 1

A horrified scream rang out at the Johnson residence. "Oh, no! Ms. Sabrina's committed suicide!"The people who were seated in the living room immediately bolted upstairs, with Lucille Johnson being the exception. She glanced coldly in the direction of Sabrina Johnson's bedroom on the second floor before getting up and lazily heading upstairs.Many people were squeezed into the room. Fortunately, it was large enough to accommodate everyone. Lucille looked around and took in the lavish decorations and furniture. It was clear that whoever was occupying this room was treated like a princess. A hint of cold mockery flashed in her eyes."What the hell happened?" An angry voice rang out. It belonged to Lucille's grandfather, Horace Johnson.A maid knelt on the floor with her head bowed. She trembled as she said, "We came upstairs to call Ms. Sabrina, Mr. Johnson Senior. That was when we found her lying unmoving in bed. There was a suicide letter and a bottle of sleeping pills on her beds...

Lucille smiled without answering Harold. She turned to head to the elevator but stopped after a few steps. She turned back to look at Harold and said, "Oh, right. Everything I just said will remain valid forever."Then, she headed into the elevator without a backward glance. Harold remained where he was. He was frowning. He watched her leave.…In Central Hospital's garden, there was a stone bench underneath a towering tree. An old man with snowy hair sat there with a young, debonair man."You're already 28, Spencer, yet you don't have any women in your life. I'm almost ashamed of you," the old man, James Layton, said.The young man, Spencer Layton, leaned against the bench as he listened without batting an eye. He crossed his legs and placed his interlaced fingers atop his knee. He looked elegant and regal. His flawless face and chiseled features looked like they had been carved by the gods themselves.James asked cautiously, "Do you have some unspeakable condition?"He'd intro

Mack couldn't help feeling confused on the way back to the company. Spencer never stuck his nose into anyone else's business. Why had he done so today? Could he have fallen for Lucille at first sight and was finally starting to act like a normal man?He had to admit that Lucille was pretty—a little too pretty, in fact. But people who could fall for someone at first sight were usually just interested in a person's looks. Spencer couldn't have been pretending to be celibate all these years, could he?Mack felt like he'd discovered a huge secret. He looked at Spencer, who was exuding a cold presence, and said cautiously, "I swear I'll keep whatever happened today a secret, boss."Spencer narrowed his eyes at him. "Have you had too little to do lately?"A chill ran down Mack's spine. He hastily said, "No, of course not.Understanding the truth was one thing, and saying it aloud was another. He'd worked for Spencer for long enough to know when to keep his mouth shut. It was a trick he'

Lucille leaned lazily against the wall in the hospital ward's corridor with her arms crossed and a foot propped up. She slowly straightened up when a tall figure approached her.As soon as she did so, Harold said coldly, "You've really disappointed me, Lucy! When did you become so cold and heartless? How could you throw Sabrina into the pond like that when she can't swim? Why do you keep trying to kill her?"Lucille narrowed her eyes at him. Her gaze was frosty. Harold was taken aback slightly when he saw this. Her iciness and arrogance made him feel uncomfortable."You show no sign of remorse at all. To think Bree's been speaking up for you all these years… She even tried to protect you before passing out earlier! Doesn't that weigh on your conscience? Do you even have a conscience?"Harold grew angrier as he spoke. Naturally, his words became increasingly harsh. His disappointment was clear, but he was more contemptuous than anything."Who are you to lecture me, Harold? Are you

"Don't bother about that. I want you to inform everyone that I want to have a meeting in ten minutes," Lucille said.Samuel had worked for her for four years, so he knew her style was to keep things simple and concise. She wouldn't waste her breath saying useless things, and she wouldn't waste her time on needless stuff."Yes, Ms. Johnson," he said.During the ten minutes before the meeting, Lucille quickly reviewed some documents and made some decisions.When it was time for the meeting, she strode into the conference room. She wore a simple outfit of a white blouse, wide-legged trousers, and cream-colored heels. She looked like a cool, regal queen.It made everyone present in the conference room sit up tensely. They didn't dare to make a sound at her entrance. They'd all seen what she was capable of and were fearful of her despite her youth. She'd always been ruthless and decisive.Lucille glanced at Jesse Jones, the head of the marketing department. "Marketing team, how's the

When Lucille opened the private room's door, she saw a tall figure standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands in his pockets. His back alone gave her a domineering feeling, yet there was also a loneliness to him. It piqued her curiosity.She frowned slightly and stepped into the room. The server shut the door behind her. Lucille had never liked dragging things out. Two seconds after entering the room, she said to the man, "Hi, sir. I'm your blind…"The man turned to face her as she spoke. She trailed off when she saw the familiar face. Then, she continued, "It's you?"It was Spencer. He was equally surprised to see her. She looked different from how she'd been yesterday. Yesterday, she'd been dressed casually. Today, her outfit was professional yet elegant.He raised an eyebrow and smiled gently at her. His eyes seemed to light up at the sight of her, and he retracted his cold presence. Then, he said, "Nice to meet you. It looks like something keeps leading us to e

Lucille couldn't help feeling a little shy at the mention of starting a family. She pretended to have a frog in her throat and coughed slightly before turning to leave.This put Spencer in a good mood. He said politely to the employee, "Thank you. My wife's a little shy; don't mind her."The employee beamed. "I completely understand."She watched them leave while feeling a little envious. Spencer looked cold and seemed to keep everyone at arm's length, but there was no doubt that he treated Lucille well.He hurried after Lucille and grabbed her slender wrist. "Shall we have lunch together?"She'd yet to process the fact that she was married and was still dazed. Spencer continued, "This might just be a contractual marriage, but we can't let people suspect it's a fake marriage, can we?"Lucille frowned slightly. That made sense. Anyway, it was just lunch. She wasn't the type to act coy over these things. "Sure.""Is it okay if I pick you up at noon?" he asked like a perfect gentle

Lucille turned to look at Spencer. His side profile was flawless. It seemed he would look good from any angle. Her gaze traveled to his hands.The thought of Marie made the ice in her eyes melt. She thought about it for a while, then said softly, "Grandma doesn't particularly like anything. The only thing I can think of is that she likes painting and drawing.""I see," Spencer said. He was telling her that he was listening to her.Lucille paused as her eyes gleamed. Then, she continued, "It's been a long time since she last painted or drew, though."Spencer caught the hint of glumness in her tone. He said, "I'll visit her with you one day. I'm sure she'll be much happier when she sees that you have someone to care for you now."He turned his head slightly to glance at her, and his tone was gentle. She realized that he was always so gentle when he spoke to her. It put her at ease. Sometimes, she wondered whether he really was the ruthless man everyone made him out to be."Okay," s

Lucille suppressed the urge to hurl as she asked, "Are you sure about that?"Keith nodded. "Of course. Drink up, Ms. Johnson."He picked up Lucille's wine glass and handed it to her. The three men had long since set their sights on Lucille—she looked cold, but that didn't take away from her beauty and hourglass figure. She was the very definition of an ice queen.Philip Celton, Keith, and Donald thought they could get away with anything because of their statuses in the industry. Besides, Star&Ciel Group wanted to work with them, so they thought they had leverage over Lucille.She narrowed her eyes at Keith's hand on her wine glass and asked, "What if I refuse to drink?""Don't wanna drink, huh? That's fine. You'll just have to spend a night with us." Donald cackled lecherously. His meaning was clear.A short silence descended upon the room. Then, Lucille said icily, "I'm afraid you three won't be able to handle me."For a split second, chills ran down the three men's spines. Luc

Samuel couldn't care less about the crowd. He pushed through them and cried anxiously, "Ms. Johnson, are you—"He saw a face that terrified him and abruptly stopped talking. God, wasn't that Spencer Layton, the mysterious CEO of JM Corporation? What was he doing there?Then, he saw that Lucille was fine. His heart settled in his chest. Suddenly, he realized the people he'd pushed aside were Lucas and Ethan. His hands trembled, and he released them. "S-Sorry, Dr. Forrest, Mr. Shaw."Now that Samuel had calmed down, he found that the crowd outside the room consisted of people who could make Whiteloop City tremble with a stomp of their feet. Even Zachary was present!He couldn't believe he'd had the luck of meeting them in one go. Suddenly, something occurred to him—had Lucille offended Spencer?As his imagination ran wild, Lucille felt herself getting angrier as Spencer held onto her. She was angry at herself for allowing a single look from Spencer to affect her emotions, especially
