The crowd hadn't expected Harold to announce his engagement.Sabrina was momentarily stunned before she was overwhelmed with happiness. She leaned into Harold's embrace and raised her head to look at him affectionately. Harold lowered his head and looked at her warmly, too.Everyone wasn't sure what to say as they watched Harold and Sabrina look at each other affectionately. Some found it unacceptable, but given the Quall family's status, no one dared to say anything for the time being. Meanwhile, some secretly posted a video of the scene online.Sabrina hadn't expected this turn of events. Since Harold had announced their engagement, there was no longer a need for them to sneak around. She could openly be with him. The piano recital had turned into a place for them to flaunt their relationship.…"I can't believe that bitch lucked out!"Lucille and the others walked out of Ivory Hotel. Upon thinking of Sabrina's provocative gaze, Bailey got angry."Harold had no choice. Since
After Bailey heard what Lucille said, her eyes widened in anger. "I can't believe there can be such heartless parents in the world. Not only did they abandon him, but they also abused him. What's the point of having such useless parents?"Bailey couldn't find the words to describe Jonathan's parents. "Are they even human?"Lucille shared the same sentiment. She'd bumped into Jonathan a month before she'd gone abroad. She'd happened to pass by the alley by a store and seen Jonathan. Back then, he'd only been 13 years old, and he'd been as thin as a stick. He'd looked dirty and had been hiding in a corner, every inch of his skin covered in bruises.Initially, Lucille had wanted to ignore him. After all, she wasn't a saint. However, after she'd glanced at him, she'd noticed his guileless gaze despite being scared and trembling. She hadn't had the heart to abandon him. So, she'd reported it to the police so they could keep him safe.She'd never expected that she'd need to go with
Harold said with a solemn expression, "Mom, Dad, I'll say it once more—Sabrina is the only one I love, not Lucille. As for that issue, I'll handle it." With that said, he left the study."L-Look at his attitude!" Lincoln got infuriated just looking at Harold, who stormed out and slammed the door behind him.Ophelia patted his back and soothed him, saying, "Calm down; don't get mad at him." Quall Group stock price had been decreasing because of this issue. Plus, they'd just been about to sign a contract for a collaboration, which had been finalized last week, only to have it called off due to this issue, too. As for the Johnsons, on the other hand, some were happy, while others were worried.Of course, Sabrina was happy since Harold had finally made their relationship public, and they were getting engaged next month. She'd never considered whether the announcement of their engagement would affect the operations of both companies; after all, she prioritized her own benefits. T
Sabrina pressed her lips before saying, "Mr. Olsen did praise me for playing well and composing good tunes. But I'm worried…"Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Ivy continued instead. "You're worried that Lucille might badmouth you to Mr. Olsen, aren't you?" Sabrina didn't respond, implying her agreement. Horace said sternly, "Let's see if she dares!"This was what exactly Sabrina wanted. If she couldn't join the National Piano Association, it would definitely be Lucille's doing."I'm sure Lucille won't do such a thing, Grandpa. After all, I'll bring honor to this family if I join the association. I trust her!" Sabrina showed her kind and understanding side, demonstrating she was adept at handling such situations. Horace scoffed. "She won't have the guts to do such a thing!" "Then, what about the company, Grandpa?" Sabrina asked. Horace pondered before saying, "Don't worry about that. Your dad and I will handle this. This won't be a problem once you're in the Nationa
Upon learning that, another netizen asked, "What the hell? Are you sure Lucille's their biological daughter?""Damn, what a horrible family! First, her fiancé cheated on her with her own sister, and now her parents are even on her sister's side. Poor Lucille!" "Lucille should probably get a DNA test." "Even if it's favoritism, it's too unethical! Are you saying Lucille also called off the engagement under pressure from her family?" "Oh, man! You've asked the most important question!" At that moment, over at the Johnson residence, Sabrina was reading the comments on her phone and saw this thread. A hint of malice flashed in her eyes as she subconsciously clenched her phone. She wanted to ask Larry for help but remembered he'd been out of contact for a while. He'd been gone after that incident. Then, she suddenly thought of a scheme. …At Quall Group, Sean timidly asked, "Mr. Quall, the public opinion has been on Ms. Lucille's side. Our PR department can't control them, l
After reading the post by @StarofJustice, Bailey angrily exclaimed, "This is definitely that bitch's doing!"While Bailey fumed, Lucille remained seated in her chair, calm as usual. Samuel, too, was used to this situation. But something was different this time. There was a voice recording, and it sounded exactly like Lucille. Information tended to spread online rapidly, almost at the speed of light. By now, the voice recording had attracted a lot of attention."Babe, what's with that recording?" Bailey asked. She had listened to it multiple times and confirmed that it was indeed Lucille's voice. But she didn't believe Lucille would say such things. Samuel felt equally confused. Lucille pondered for a bit before slowly replying, "That's indeed my voice, but the words aren't. The content has been fabricated." Bailey and Samuel were shocked.Frowning, Samuel said, "If that's the case, it looks like Sabrina is truly meticulous; she might've planned this for a long time." "Ho
In just half an hour, the netizens had shifted their attention to Lucille. The comments were filled with condemnation, labelling her as shameless, vicious, and devious. Someone even found out Lucille was the CEO of Star&Ciel Group, thus dragging the company down into turmoil, saying that neither the company nor its products would thrive when it had such a shameless woman as its CEO.As an elite, Sabrina was loved by many, especially women, due to her image as the master of all arts. She was also a renowned perfumer, which naturally brought her countless fans. One netizen said, "My god! How could Lucille be this deceitful and devious at such a young age? And she even plagiarized? How is she this shameless? "Our Sabrina is too kind for keeping Lucille's secret for so long, and she's still defending her. If it weren't for a kind-hearted person leaking it out for goodwill, we would've unfairly criticized Sabrina!" The other netizens also shared their own two cents. "Disgusting
