The Johnsons thought Lucille would reach out to them. But she didn't make any rebuttal or ask any questions, even after they'd waited for a long time. It was as if nothing had happened. This was exactly what Horace wanted, given that Lucille's silence saved him unnecessary trouble. But the same couldn't be said for Sabrina.She thought Lucille would be extremely hurt and helpless. Yet the latter still looked indifferent, as if nothing was different, which irked Sabrina and made her feel uneasy. …Lucille received a call from the Johnsons in the afternoon, asking her to come to the Johnson residence tomorrow, to which she readily agreed. Then, she received another call, this time from Layton Manor. She was confused at first, but she quickly realized they had called after seeing the news. "Hello?" Lucille said. "Hello, Lucy," Lila said sweetly. "Oh, hi, Mom," Lucille greeted. "Dad, Eric, and I saw the news. Is there anything we can do to help?" Lila asked. The Laytons ha
William looked at Lucille's arrogant expression and scolded her. "You're still making excuses after beating Melvin up so badly that he ended up in the ICU two days ago? You've gotten quite bold, haven't you?" Lucille lay on the couch and twirled a strand of hair before lazily looking up at William. "So is that why you're cutting ties with me, my beloved father?" Lucille asked knowingly. William admitted it, his words cold and cruel, "You bet I am! You're the one who caused trouble, and we have no reason to take responsibility for your actions!" Lucille wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed mockingly. "No reason, huh? Who was the one who begged me to get Sabrina into the National Piano Association, saying a family should help each other when they found out I'm White Chamomile? But now you're saying we're not a family?" Lucille taunted them, saying, "You Johnsons are truly heartless, aren't you? You talked endlessly about morality and righteousness. But in reality, you're utterl
The live chat immediately flooded with comments."Oh my gosh! Don't tell me it's really a plot twist!" "I swear to God, if there's a plot twist, I'll livestream myself eating shit!" "Woah, dude, take it easy!" "Everyone, let's spam the chat! There must be a plot twist. The master of putting people in their places is about to make her entrance!" Meanwhile, Ivy idiotically asked, "Did you get the wrong person, Mr. Bardot? She hit your son, yet you're praising her?" She rolled her eyes. The netizens saw her reaction and immediately expressed their disdain for her. A stepmother could never replace a biological mother!Robert gave her an apathetic glare. "Who told you Ms. Lucille hit Melvin?"The Johnsons' minds exploded, like they'd been preloaded with fireworks. Like a chant, Robert's words kept echoing in their ears. At the same time, the netizens also erupted into a frenzy and spammed the live chat with comments."Where's that dude who said he'd livestream himself eating
Lucille laughed sarcastically before continuing, "I've given you explanations since I was a child, but you've always judged me based on your assumptions. Since that's the case, why don't we just go our separate ways?" William said nothing. The netizens continued swarming the live chat."Such authority, my waifu! I'm so in love with you!" "For some reason, I felt bad about Lucille's sarcastic laugh. I'm sure she's already very disappointed with them…""If I'd grown up in such a family, I'd probably be depressed…""Are they really her biological family?" "I know, right? A sane person would ask for the reason if someone made a mistake. Why would anyone make mistakes on purpose? I despise prejudiced people. God, I can't stand them. How can anyone stay with a family like them?" Horace and William had nothing to say. Considering an outsider was present, they had no choice but to accept Lucille's words silently. "Oh, right, one more thing. Please return what my mom left for me
After a while, three men clad in black entered the Johnson residence's living room. The three greeted simultaneously, "Hello, Mrs. Layton." Mrs. Layton? The netizens burst into chaos once again. How many times had they been mindblown now? "WHY? When did my waifu get married?" "Oh, god. Here's another bombshell!" "She hid it well, isn't she?" "I just want to know what caliber the man has to match my goddess' beauty.""I just fell for her, and poof! There goes my love…" Lucille calmly ordered the men, "Second floor, second room from the right. Find a notebook with a blue cover. Search thoroughly!" "Yes, Mrs. Layton!" As the men in black started making their way, Sabrina stopped them. "Stop! What are you doing?" With a look from Lucille, the men in black ignored Sabrina and heeded the order."You brat! What are you trying to do? How could you allow these strangers to enter Sabrina's room?" William scolded. Lucille ignored him. Behind Lucille, Robert stood protect
Lucille paid no attention to this biased treatment because she was already used to it. "What's wrong? Are you afraid to speak up?" She looked at the pale-faced Sabrina and smiled. "I'll speak for you, then!" Lucille flipped through the notebook with her slender fingers before slowly saying, "Everyone said Sabrina is a rare talent, skilled in all forms of arts. But me, on the other hand… They called me a wicked woman with a venomous heart for bullying her sister." She looked up at Horace and William. "Isn't that right?" Without waiting for their reply, Lucille continued, "But who would've thought this artsy, talented woman is actually a two-faced hypcrite?" She laughed and turned toward Sabrina. "Am I correct about that, Ms. Talented Sabrina?" Anyone could tell Lucille was being sarcastic by calling Sabrina "talented". Sabrina rebutted, "I'm not. Stop lying." Ivy defended Sabrina and shouted at Lucille, "Stop trying to stir the pot! Everybody knows how hardworking Bree i
The livestream was approaching the 40-minute mark, but the number of viewers was still steadily increasing. Although it was a weekday, it didn't stop the netizens from tuning in to the juicy gossip. At this moment, Lucille yelled, "Bring it in, Bethany!" Everyone was confused by this sudden remark. Who was Bethany? Then, a short-haired woman in black pants entered the scene with a briefcase. It was Bethany. She walked up to Lucille and respectfully said, "As you ordered, Mrs. Layton, here it is." The Johnsons looked at Bethany in confusion, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.Sabrina was fixated on Lucille, trying to figure out what she was planning. Lucille calmly said, "Play it!" "Yes, Mrs. Layton," Bethany replied. The netizens noticed that Bethany, who had suddenly appeared, looked pretty with a perfectly proportionate figure.Some also thought she was cool, especially since she was in a full black suit, while others guessed that she was Lucille's bodyguard.
Three police officers entered the living room, leaving everyone present and the netizens confused. Coincidentally, the livestream was cut short with the text, "The following scenes are unsuitable for streaming. This concludes the livestream." This sudden move left the netizens utterly bewildered, causing them to itch with curiosity. Back in the living room, one of the police officers scanned everyone with a solemn look before asking, "Is Ms. Sabrina Johnson here?" Sabrina's mind buzzed as she heard her name, and she remained silent. Seeing that no one replied, the officer added, "We've received a police report half an hour ago saying Ms. Sabrina was involved in a theft. So please come forward and cooperate with our investigation. Thank you." Horace and William were in utter disbelief. Ivy was shocked and immediately retorted, "That's impossible, officer. There must be some misunderstanding. Why would Bree do such a thing? She's a kind, obedient child who's excelled in ac
