Spencer looked at the tin box in her hand and asked, "What's that?"Subsequently, Lucille told him everything about Larry."I'd him taken away last time," Spencer said. Lucille was stunned momentarily. No wonder she couldn't trace Larry's tracks.She knew his death had nothing to do with Spencer, but the latter's subordinates were surely the last person Larry saw.He continued, "If you'd like to know what happened after that, I'll have Mack tell you about it."Lucille accepted his suggestion. "Sure. Let's bring him here." It wasn't because she was particularly interested in Larry's case that she wanted to get to the bottom of things. Rather, she found things odd and wanted to know the truth to save herself from any trouble in the future.Still, the USB Bethany had found at his place had piqued her curiosity. Even the authorities hadn't discovered it.Soon, Mack arrived. "Hello, boss, Mrs. Layton.""Please tell me about Larry, Mr. Wood," requested Lucille.Mack took a secon
On the other hand, Maverick had just returned from his investigation and reported, "Commander Lawton, I'm back for a report," he said to George, who was looking at his phone."Go ahead." George put his phone down and glanced at him."Sabrina Johnson and Larry Zimmer had known each other since high school. During our visit to the school, we found out that Larry was involved in kidnapping the Johnsons' second daughter, Lucille Johnson, six years ago, which was their senior year of high school. "That got him three years in prison and a farewell to his bright future. He was a promising student, who was praised by both his peers and teachers alike. He even was the class representative at the time."Now the strange thing is, his teacher thought it was impossible for the gentle and kind Larry to have done such a thing. Many people didn't believe he was capable. However, he admitted guilt on the spot."As for the reason for the kidnapping, he allegedly said—quoted from the file—that he '
It was Eunice's first time visiting Sparrow Residence. She'd always deemed Windvale Villa to be ridiculously massive, but her perspective changed when she saw Sparrow Residence. Indeed, it was nice to be rich. She'd heard that Ian wanted to visit Whiteloop City around the same time she'd found out Lucille was injured. Thus, she'd tagged along shamelessly.At that moment, they heard some sounds from the staircase. When Eunice looked up, she saw Spencer carrying Lucille, whose right leg had a cast, down the stairs.Lucille was surprised to see Eunice. She hadn't expected the guests Spencer had mentioned to be Eunice and Ian.Spencer had just laid Lucille on the couch when Eunice hurriedly approached her side, asking in concern, "How's your foot?"Lucille smiled. "I'm fine. It's just an ankle sprain."Eunice exclaimed, "That's one nasty sprain! You even have a cast on."Ian couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw Eunice expressing concern for Lucille. She hadn't been as anxio
"She'll always be mine and mine alone. As for you, I'd like to see you maintaining your calm when Eunice leaves you one day," Spencer refuted.Sometimes, those directly involved were often blinded by their involvement, while outsiders had a clearer view. If Ian hadn't had any feelings for Eunice, he would've scared her away a long time ago with his temper. He was no saint; if he wanted to torture someone, he wouldn't do it like this.Ian stayed silent and simply stared at Eunice in the living room. She could feel a chill down her spine and instinctively looked up, only to lock eyes with him on the second floor. Seeing his icy gaze, she immediately looked away. She hadn't done anything to anger him, had she? Perhaps he was pissed off by her laughter?"…That night, Eunice and Ian left after enjoying dinner at the manor. Inside, Jonathan and Spencer were locked in a tense stare, prompting Lucille to heave a silent sigh. At last, Jonathan couldn't take it anymore and headed upst
The next morning, Lucille took Jonathan to Zaytun Pavilion."Lucy, did you say Ms. Larson is coming?" he asked."Yeah, she'll be here soon."Bethany had tagged along with the two during their outing today. Besides, Lucille needed her assistance to move about.Soon enough, Zaytun Pavilion's manager led two people over and opened the door to the Kingston Room. He stood respectfully on the side and gestured to the guests. "You may head inside." A woman with a black cap and black mask entered first. "I'm here, Lulu." Jessica's voice sounded before her face came into view. Bethany was astounded to see a beauty as Jessica removed her cap and mask. The latter's light-brown curls bounced, and her exquisite face was adorned with great features. At the corner of her eye sat a tiny mole. Bethany couldn't help but think Jessica seemed familiar, as though she'd seen her on the streets or in photos…"Aw, Jonny is here too." Jessica smiled at Jonathan, who beside Lucille, revealing her ado
Jessica's eyes shifted. "That was back then. It's different now. We have our own lives to live. Anyway, let's not talk about him." She looked toward Jonathan, asking, "Why are you here in Whiteloop City, Jonny?"The more she avoided the topic, the more Lucille found it strange. Jessica and Avery had been getting along well, so why did Jessica make it sound like they were so distant now? What did she mean they "had their own lives to live"?Lucille looked at Sandra, who was opposite her. The latter was Jessica's manager, and Jessica was her only client. Catching Lucille's eye, Sandra shook her head, indicating she knew nothing about it.…At 11:30 am, Spencer, Ethan, and Zachary arrived at Zaytun Pavilion. When Jessica saw the handsome men suddenly appear, she was rather surprised."Lulu, who are they?" She was unfamiliar with the newcomers. They were all good-looking, with great presence, especially the one in the middle, who was dressed in all black. He immediately gave off a
After their lunch, Sandra took Jessica away due to their hectic schedule. Lucille wanted to see them off at the airport, but Jessica rejected her offer, seeing how Lucille was still recovering. …Time flew, and soon, it was the middle of the month. The rollout for Jonathan's new track was smooth, and Lucille's foot had almost healed. But Lucille still had a few more things to attend to.The 18th was just three days away, so Brian arranged for Jonathan to be picked up. After seeing Jonathan off, Lucille headed over to Star&Ciel Group.Once she reached her office, she summoned Samuel. "I'll be away from Whiteloop City for a while. Everything is on track, so I'll leave the rest of the work to you."He was shocked; he didn't think he deserved to take on such an important role. "Ms. Johnson, I…"She understood his concerns. "You're the only one I trust, Samuel. I'll only be assured if you take over for me. Plus, you know the company better than anyone. You're the most suitable candid
Although the Laytons from the other branches of the family were ambitious, they didn't dare act rashly in front of James. The family was involved in many fields and held insurmountable power. Naturally, everyone wanted to take over as the head of the family, but that spot had always been reserved for the eldest son of the first branch.At that moment, a woman's voice sounded behind them. "Why didn't you guys head to the company if you wanted to see my husband? Why come to Layton Manor?" Lucille's tall and lean figure appeared at the entrance. She dressed casually in black high-waisted flared jeans and a white sweater. Her presence, however, exuded oppressiveness with each step she took into the hall. For someone so petite, her domineering demeanor was remarkably intense."Why are you here?" asked Tucker.Lucille walked to the center and looked toward the main seat. She greeted, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Spencer and I came over for dinner tonight. He's still at the office, so he'll be
