A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 168
Ian sat in his study at Windvale Villa. He wanted to attend to some work but found himself distracted. He just couldn't settle down.He glanced at the clock to find that it was already 11:30 pm. It was long past the curfew, but Eunice had yet to return. It looked like Wilfred hadn't been lying.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an exquisitely wrapped present on the right side of the desk. His gaze darkened, and he felt like he'd probably lost his mind. Why else would he have thought of something so immature and unrealistic?Shortly after, he received a video from a good friend. The text read, "Ian, this is your wife, right?"Ian immediately watched the video. It was two minutes long. The woman in the video was gorgeous, and she writhed and twisted on the stage. Her body was flexible, and her dance moves were seductive.A group of men whistled and catcalled her from beneath the stage. They stared at her like hungry wolves.Once the gorgeous woman finished dancing, she gave th

It was still the early hours of the morning, and the bar was still packed with people. The atmosphere was so intense that it sent people into a daze. The air was filled with the scent of smoke and alcohol. The music was turned up to the maximum. Good-looking men and women continued to party on the dance floor as if they had boundless energy and never got tired. Perhaps this was how they vented unwinded.The bar never lacked drunkards. Lucille and Eunice helped Bailey move across the lobby. They had barely taken a few steps when someone blocked their path."Hey, gorgeous. Leaving so soon?"A young man, Melvin Bardot, dressed in branded clothes, shot a teasing grin at Lucille and the others, while someone behind him whistled. At this moment, Eunice was slightly sober. Since she was older than Lucille and Bailey, she naturally took the lead in such a situation.She stepped forward and said to Melvin, "Sir, could you please move aside? My friend is drunk, and we need to take her

Someone helped Melvin up. The latter endured the pain in his chest and gritted his teeth as he said sternly, "How dare you kick me? Tonight, I'll let give you a taste of what happens when someone pisses me off!"He shouted angrily at his lackeys, "Tie that bitch up!"Suddenly, a group of men in black suits appeared out of nowhere in the bar's lobby. They formed a semicircle in front of Lucille and the others and shielded them.Melvin's lackeys had just stepped forward before they immediately stopped. They were taken aback by the sight of these burly bodyguards, who looked like they could put up a good fight.The commotion drew the attention of the other patrons in the bar. Most of them hadn't noticed the situation earlier because the music was too loud, but the sudden appearance of a group of men couldn't go unnoticed.Melvin clutched his chest as he took a few steps forward and arrogantly warned the men in black, "Get lost! No one can stop me from doing what I want. If you want t

Elizabeth hadn't expected Robert to blame her. She was shocked by his angry outburst, and so was Melvin, who was lying in bed. "What do you mean it's my fault? Isn't Melvin your son too?" Elizabeth retorted.Melvin was Robert's only son. He would have to lead the Bardot family in the future."If he wasn't my son, would I have gone to such great lengths to clean up his messes? I did it because he's my only heir and because he'll have to take over our family in the future. "But look at him—he's already 22 years old and still behaves so improperly! He spends his time in bars to hit on women. He even led his lackeys to harass someone this time. He's lucky that they didn't kill him."It's all your fault. You've always indulged him and let him do whatever he wants. He thinks he's a big deal. He's tactless and unknowledgeable. He always hangs out with unsavory individuals. "Do you think someone like him deserves to inherit everything our family owns? You better hope he didn't mess wi

Lucille hadn't had the faintest idea that Melvin had been hospitalized due to severe injuries until hald an hour ago.However, even if Spencer's men hadn't shown up, Lucille would've beaten Melvin anyway. It was just a matter of who'd beaten him up."So what kind of explanation are you looking for?" Lucille raised her eyes and looked at Robert coldly.Robert said, "I already looked into what happened before coming here. It was indeed Melvin's fault. He stopped you and your friends and spoke rudely to you. "I've failed to raise him properly, so I want to apologize to you and your friends on his behalf."Lucille was surprised by his apology, and her eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect much from Melvin, and she certainly had never expected Robert would have a strong moral compass.She looked at Robert, who was known for his philanthropy. It turned out that he was indeed a cultured and well-mannered businessman. At the very least, he was principled.She didn't respond to him b

Lucille didn't want to interfere in Robert's business. She was just giving him a friendly reminder. After all, he was a genuine philanthropist. Although he had only done his good deeds in hopes that what went around would come around and benefit Melvin, the fact remained that he had helped many poor families.The Bardot family was one of the few open and aboveboard families in West Yodran, with no scandals except for the worrisome Melvin. Robert had taken over the Bardot family when he'd been 20 years old, and he was almost 50 years old now. It'd been over two decades since then, but there was nothing marring his spotless reputation.It was rare that he'd been able to resist temptation and uphold righteousness and integrity in the business world, which could lead to deception and clouded judgment.He'd played a huge role in Bardot Group's achievement.Although he had a good-for-nothing son, the people in West Yodran still respected him and were aware of everything he'd done."

After Lucille had grown up, she'd tried to find out about Jane's past, but to no avail. No matter how much she'd tried, the result had been the same. "Back then, no one could get in touch with Jane after graduation. It was as if she'd vanished. "I never expected she'd gotten married to someone in the Johnson family in Whiteloop City and given birth to an outstanding daughter like her." Robert looked at Lucille, who looked very much like Jane, especially with her intelligent and guileless gaze."Didn't you try going to my mom's house to look for her?" Lucille asked.Robert sighed and said, "I did. I realized the address was fake when I got there. The information Jane gave the university was the address of a widow and her child. They didn't know her at all. "But I'm not surprised. Jane's background was always a mystery. She never talked about her family. She always spent her holidays at the apartment she rented and didn't go anywhere. Nor did anyone come to visit her."Robert's

After breakfast, Lucille and the others went their separate ways. When Lucille and Bailey returned to Whiteloop City, they threw themselves into their work.However, after her trip to West Yodran, Lucille was fraught with worry.…After talking with Lucille, Robert returned to Bardot Group to deal with some company affairs. He only went to Scentridge Hospital in West Yodran at noon.He hadn't expected to meet Lucille by coincidence, especially not because of the mess Melvin had created.Moreover, he'd also been unprepared for the bad news about Jane's passing. He'd been both thrilled and filled with sympathy, making him feel like he was on an emotional roller coaster. When Elizabeth saw Robert in the hospital room, she asked, "Did you find out who hurt Melvin?"Robert replied, "Yes. I did."Elizabeth continued, "Did you take care of those bitches? How did you deal with them? Anyone who dares to hurt Melvin must pay a heavy price!"Melvin, who was lying in the hospital bed and

A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 704
In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

"So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

"I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

"Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't

When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha

Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
