"Do you need help?" Lucille asked. She stood behind Spencer. She'd felt a little embarrassed sitting around while he bustled around the kitchen. She didn't know how to cook but could still help with certain simple tasks.Spencer turned to see her guileless eyes darting around. He asked, "How about you wash and slice the vegetables?""Sure!" Washing and slicing vegetables was about the only thing she could do. It was what she used to help Bailey with when she came over to cook for her.She rolled her sleeves up and grabbed the vegetables that had been laid out. She got to work. Spencer lowered his head slightly to see her washing and slicing seriously.He smiled slightly at the sight. He'd never felt like this before. It was an odd feeling. He seemed to be filled with satisfaction and happiness. He wanted things to be like this for the rest of their lives.Lucille was engrossed in her task when she suddenly felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her, starting from her ear. She st
If not for Spencer holding Lucille up, she wouldn't be able to stand. She felt like something was threatening to explode from her stomach. It made her feel horrible, but she couldn't get it out. It was stuck there.She never would've expected that she'd one day have too much to eat. Was this how it felt to die on an overly full stomach?"Do you have any indigestion medicine at home?" Spencer asked.Lucille thought about it, then shook her head."How about we head downstairs to get some, then? We can take this opportunity to take a stroll."She frowned. She did not want to leave the house, let alone walk. Spencer's expression was helpless, but he was more patient and gentle than anything. He coaxed tenderly, "C'mon, let's go. You'll feel better after a short stroll."Lucille struggled with the thought for a few seconds. Ultimately, Spencer dragged her downstairs. She was wholly unwilling. If she had a choice, she would've just gone to bed and hoped she would wake up feeling better
"I've fallen for you."Lucille's mind instantly went blank as though an explosion had gone off in her head.When she heard those unexpected words, her terrified eyes grew wide. Shock was written all over her face, like she had just heard some surprising and unbelievable news.Spencer's confession had taken her by surprise. All of a sudden, she was dumbstruck and didn't know how to react.A while passed, and she still couldn't return to her senses.She had known him for less than a week. It was just so sudden for him to say that he had caught feelings for her.Legally, they were already husband and wife, but…Spencer sighed on the inside as he looked at her cute yet dazed expression. His eyes were filled with nothing but gentleness as he said to her quietly, "Don't feel burdened by this. There's no rush for you to give me an answer. You can slowly have a feel for it, and once you're ready, you can tell me your answer."Lucille didn't know what to say. Thus, she simply stared at
Sabrina hated hearing Lucille speak to her in such an arrogant tone, but she remembered the reason why she was calling today. "Lucille, it seems like you were wise enough to break off the engagement," she said mockingly.Lucille answered indifferently, "Even if I did break off the engagement, do you dare to go public?"Sabrina instantly flew into a rage. Because of that Twitter post about her infidelity, she couldn't announce her relationship with Harold yet. "You're despicable!" she yelled. Then, her tone turned gloating. "So what? As long as Harry loves me, that's enough. Meanwhile, you'll never ever win his affection."Lucille scoffed uncaringly. "If you're calling to brag about your shameful affair, then please hang up!" she said coldly.When Sabrina heard that Lucille wanted to hang up, she immediately said, "Grandpa asked you to return to the Johnson residence. There's something he wants to tell you.""I'm not going! Just tell it to me straight!" Lucille said adamantly.S
In her office, Lucille narrowed her eyes at the extravagantly dressed young man in front of her. Charles was the deputy CEO of the Sanders Corporation at 26 years old. Known as the Casanova of Whiteloop City, there was a new rumor about him with either a celebrity or model every three days.He was quite the looker, and being the son of the Sanders family, he naturally had women throwing themselves at him. However, rumor had it that he was heartless.Lucille watched as Charles took a seat on the couch. "Mr. Sanders, why did you come here?" she asked coolly.While she looked him up and down, he did the same to her.Her face was aloof yet beautiful. She had exquisite facial features that made her quite the stunner. She was even prettier than any woman he had ever had.His lips curved into a smile. He laughed casually. "Ms. Johnson, I've heard people call you venomous, but it turns out that you're just an ice queen. I feel like this trip here is now worth it."When Lucille heard this
Before leaving, Charles added, "Ms. Johnson, the Sanders Corporation is sincere in wanting to collaborate with the Star&Ciel Group."Lucille gave him a meaningful look. "Alright."After showing Charles to the door, Samuel came to the office.The first thing Lucille said was, "Find out who leaked the information about the research and development of Shooting Star!"Samuel was taken aback. He hadn't been in the room earlier, so he didn't know what had happened. However, from the look on Lucille's face, he could guess what happened."Yes, I'll do it at once."Shooting Star was Star&Ciel's newly developed reed diffuser. It had yet to be made known to the public and was still considered top secret. The Star&Ciel Group was planning to enter the reed diffuser market and had begun preparations a year ago. Not many people knew about this, so she was surprised that the news had reached Charles.Half an hour later, Samuel returned with his findings. "Ms. Johnson, one of the executives fr
The door to the Kingston Room was pushed open. The people sitting inside all turned their gazes to the two people who just entered.Spencer was holding Lucille's hand. He looked regal and handsome, while she looked austere and beautiful. They were quite a match.Lucas, Ethan, and Zachary had already seen Lucille and knew about her.But what they didn't know was that Lucille also knew things about them.After she got legally married to Spencer, she looked into his background. Naturally, she also looked into the few gentlemen sitting here. However, it seemed like one of them wasn't here today.Unexpectedly, the sons of Whiteloop's most revered aristocratic families were actually best friends in private.It was truly surprising. After all, no one had exposed their friendship before. It seemed like their public relations teams were doing a good job at keeping this under wraps.Like a gentleman, Spencer pulled a chair out for Lucille. Only after she had taken her seat did he sit down
It was none other than the woman that Lucille had run into in the corridor earlier.Next to her was a handsome man in a black suit. He gave off a powerful vibe like Spencer did, to the point where people felt pressured in his presence.However, the two men had their differences. Clearly, this man was even more aloof and detached. Even though Spencer could also be quite cold, at least he seemed human.When Ethan saw that their newest guest was none other than Ian Moore, he said snidely, "Ian, you're finally here. We waited for you for so long that the food has already gone cold. This time, Spence isn't the last one to arrive."During their past gatherings, Spencer was always the last one to arrive.Ian said nothing. Instead, it was the woman next to him, Eunice Lennon, who spoke first. "Sorry, there was something I had to take care of. That's why we were delayed."After Eunice said that, Ethan didn't dare say another word."Eunice, Luke is always saying stupid things. Just ignore
