Spencer had indeed been surprised by Lucille's identity as White Chamomile. He'd personally called Brian for help, but he'd never thought he'd find out about Lucille's secret identity. "How did you know that old geezer, Brian Olsen?" Lucille gazed at Spencer in confusion after listening to his explanation. Spencer earnestly replied, "JM Corporation provides funding to the National Piano Association every year. So, we have this connection." Lucille said nothing. He was quite the capitalist, wasn't he? "But how did you find out about my connection with the National Piano Association?" This was what Lucille found most puzzling. If Spencer hadn't made this connection, he wouldn't have contacted Brian. Spencer coughed awkwardly. "I… um… found a music score and the association's badge in your room."Lucille fell silent again. Even though Spencer had moved in with her, she hadn't bothered to tidy up her stuff.Suddenly, she asked inquisitively, "Have you never suspected I plagiari
Spencer smiled when he heard Lucille say that she'd never leave him. "You said it. Don't you dare to leave me. Regardless of what happens, you can't leave me. Even if you try to leave me, I will never let you go." Spencer put extra emphasis on the last sentence. He cherished Lucille too much to let her leave him. Before she realized it, he gently lifted her chin with his fingers. She closed her eyes, meeting her lips his. Spencer had one hand holding tightly on Lucille's thin waist, preventing her from struggling, while the other hand cradled behind her neck. Their tongues met and wrestled as they kissed passionately."You'll always be my wife. Got it, Mrs. Layton?" Feeling slightly out of breath, Spencer assertively declared his dominance with his forehead pressed against Lucille's.Lucille was weak and in a daze from Spencer's domineering kiss. Her mind was a mess, too. She instinctively nodded and grunted without putting any thought into the question.Their eyes were fill
"Why did you come out by yourself?" Lucille asked Jonathan, feeling relieved as she saw he was safe and sound, not a scratch on him.As Spencer approached them, Jonathan sensed an overwhelming air of hostility getting closer. He felt a sudden chill and shivered.Lucille thought Jonathan was cold from being outside, considering he only wore a T-shirt and a windbreaker, and felt his fairly thin clothes.Lucille worriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you cold?" Seeing his wife groping another man, Spencer pressed his lips and asked mockingly, "What cold? The sun is bright today." Jonathan turned to look at Spencer. His first instinct told him Spencer was cold. Lucille also turned to look at Spencer in confusion, feeling something weird about what he'd said. Spencer then pulled Lucille toward him, causing her hands, which had been holding Jonathan, to let go. Jonathan was stunned when he saw Spencer pull his sister away. He blinked his innocent eyes and glanced at Spencer. This w
Seeing the security guard approach them, Jonathan felt scared and subconsciously held Lucille's arm as he hid behind her. At this moment, Lucille was surrounded by two men, both towering at nearly six feet. She softly said to the security, "Yes, he's my brother." The security replied, "I see! So, he's your brother, Ms. Johnson. I saw him crouching here for almost half an hour, and he didn't say anything when we questioned him. If I'd known that he's your brother, I would've let him in." "I'm sorry. My brother is quite shy with strangers. But thank you!" The security guard waved his hand. "Don't sweat it! We didn't do anything. Since you're here, everything is fine now." Spencer eyed Jonathan up and down with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. In the apartment, Lucille went out to the balcony to give Brian a call. She informed him that she'd found Jonathan and told him not to worry as Jonathan would temporarily be staying with her. Spencer and Jonathan were seated across f
After five minutes, Lucille asked, "Oh, my dear Mr. Layton, are you still feeling jealous?" She leaned against his muscular chest, looking up at him with sparkling eyes. Spencer slightly lowered his head to look at her and said stoically, "Of course I am. It's an instinct; I can't control it." Lucille was at a loss for words for a moment. Was he always this jealous? How hadn't she noticed how difficult he could be before? Spencer emphasized again, saying, "You belong to me alone. Got it?" Lucille smiled. "Yes, yes. I belong to you only. But could you be more tolerant and bear with him, Mr. Layton? Jonathan isn't like the others." Lucille still wanted to convince Spencer. Jonathan was a really sensitive man. Plus, she was the one he relied on the most. She didn't want any rifts between them. Spencer pondered for a moment before calmly replying, "Sure, but under one condition." One condition? Lucille said, "What condition? Tell me." She didn't immediately agree with him
"What should I call you, then?""Stop playing dumb, Spencer!""Why don't you tell me straight up, sweetie?""I want to be called honey too!""You got it, honey." Spencer held her and let out a muffled laugh into the crook of her neck.Lucille was speechless at his intentional teasing. When he was with her, he didn't have his usual aloof demeanor. Instead, he was always teasing her.…In the afternoon, Sabrina posted a statement on Twitter."I'd just come out of the research room, where I was preparing for the National Perfumery Competition, when I saw the comments circulating online, insinuating my poor relationship with my sister, Lucille. "It was made known within our family that my sister is the mysterious composer, White Chamomile. For the sake of her safety, we decided to keep it a secret. "There have also been speculations about Lucille and I participating in a music competition with the same piece. That issue was due to a lack of prior discussion because Lucille and
Another wave of discussion flooded the Internet after Sabrina posted her statement. Some had even questioned the reliability of @IExposeYou, but most of them were her fans. As for the others, they were only here for the drama.They anticipated an impending plot twist, so for now, they quietly enjoyed the fan war. Strangely, @IExposeYou hadn't come forward to clarify anything, almost as if they were unaware of the latest update.…Meanwhile, a publication company named Eternal Magazine was situated in the heart of Whiteloop City. Despite being one of the many magazine companies in the city, they remained the most mysterious out of all, with only six total members within the organization. They stood out from other publications as they specialized in exposing scandals involving the rich.No one dared provoke them, mainly because the company had a strong backing. One time, a wealthy family had been exposed for having a mistress. After they had confronted each other, that family h
At that moment, Lucille regretted asking that question. Spencer's directness had made her speechless and nervous.Attempting to change the topic, she stuttered, "I… Uh… I'll go check on Jonathan."With that, she jumped from the couch and fled to the movie theater. Spencer couldn't help but smile lovingly at his panicking, bashful wife; he simply found her shyness too adorable.At that moment, his phone rang."Hello."The person on the other line spoke, "Mr. Spencer, our surveillance cameras have spotted at a member of Crimson Gate appearing in Whiteloop City about an hour ago. Due to the limited time, we have yet to trace their location."After listening to the report, Spencer calmly said, "I understand."The other person on the phone was confused. What did he mean by that?The person continued the report, "According to the system, the person isn't Zing. I suppose it's one of the other members. We have yet to identify them."As you asked, I've also investigated the person who
