Unable to refute him, Lucille departed with Bethany.When Lucille's flight landed in Marvonia, it was about 7:00 pm there. A few people were waiting for them as soon as they touched down. The man in front of the group, who was dressed in black, went up to her respectfully. "Greetings, Mrs. Layton. My name is Flynn Camden, and I'm here under Mr. Layton's orders to send you to the hotel."Lucille was unaware of this arrangement, but Bethany was.In the car, Flynn said, "Mrs. Layton, if there's anything you need in Marvonia, I'd be happy to assist you."Lucille calmly replied, "Sure. Thank you."Flynn was startled. It was his first time hearing "thank you" from any of his superiors, so it surprised him how nice she was. "It's my pleasure, Mrs. Layton. After all, I'm your subordinate, and this is my job."

The best time for Ghosthorn to operate was in the small hours.Lucille changed into a black top and bottom with a black cap and mask, leaving only her dark eyes exposed. An outfit like this was fairly common in the underworld since no one would want to be recognized there.However, Ghosthorn was not accessible to everyone. Without a special token, one could only dream to entering. A popular bar hide the entrance to Ghosthorn. Lucille lowered her cap and went to the bar counter alone. "Three glasses of Death in the Afternoon, please." Her cold voice rang into the mixologist's ears.The mixologist glanced at her and stealthily pushed a black button hidden behind the bar counter. Soon, a man with a crew cut arrived and locked eyes with the mixologist. The latter glanced toward Lucille, bowing his head.He walked to Lucille's side, saying, "Please follow me." He then led her to the top floor of the bar and requested, "Please show me your token for authentication."Lucille fished out

Phantom crossed his legs and leaned against the couch casually. He narrowed his eyes and appraised Lucille, who was dressed in allblack, only revealing her eyes. "Did you say you're Inkbrush?"Lucille also appraised him. Phantom was Ghosthorn's top dog and called the shots there. There was one thing that surprised her, though—he was younger than she'd expected and quite handsome. He'd deep-set eyes and a tall nose.His had tanned skin and a small scar on his forehead. It didn't detract from his good looks, though. On the contrary, it left one with a deep impression. It was as if it was his trademark.At the same time, she knew there was a secret boss behind Ghosthorn. No one knew who it was, though.Lucille took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face. Her breathtaking beauty made everyone present gasp. Then, she said indifferently, "Yes, I did."Phantom frowned and said coldly, "Are you insulting my intelligence, gorgeous? Who do you think you're kidding? Do you even know who

Phantom didn't think Lucille looked like she was in Ghosthorn to cause any trouble. After all, she was the supreme chief of Otearl Alliance. She couldn't possibly waste time on things like this, could she?It looked like Jim had done something stupid behind Phantom's back to incur Lucille's wrath, making her want to deal with him personally. He gestured at one of his men. "Tell Jim to come here.""Yes, sir."Soon, Jim arrived. "You wanted to see me, sir?"He ignored Lucille and approached Phantom, looking somewhat sycophantic. Phantom glanced at him but didn't say anything to him. Instead, he turned to Lucille and nodded at her. "He's here."Jim was confused. What was going on here? Only then did he follow Phantom's line of sight to look at Lucille. He took in her good looks and assumed she was one of the new beauties Phantom had picked for auctioning.He thought Phantom wanted him to help set a price for Lucille and said, "Where'd you find this beauty, sir? Judging from her look

"You're lucky to have caught the attention of Otearl Alliance's supreme chief, Jim. You're not suffering any losses here." Phantom looked like he was enjoying the show. He didn't act the way any boss should have.Jim was stunned, and his legs almost gave out. "O-Otearl Alliance?"Hadn't he just accepted a regular order? How had he gotten linked to Otearl Alliance? He'd checked and was sure his target had nothing to do with the alliance.Two gunshots rang out. Before anyone even realized what was happening, Lucille had fired twice at Jim with her gold Desert Eagle. The shots got him in both his scapulae.Jim was on the floor before he'd returned to his senses after learning Lucille was from Otearl Alliance. Meanwhile, Phantom was surprised—Lucille had actually gone easy on Jim. This didn't seem like something someone from Otearl Alliance would do.He admired her aim, though. She was a good shot, and she hadn't hesitated when firing—as expected of Inkbrush, who was also known as a

The following day, Lucille followed the address Robert had given her and headed to the apartment Jane had once occupied. She'd checked with Lila on this before, but it seemed neither Lila nor Robert had ever been to the apartment. They only had the address.Lucille didn't expect the apartment to still be around after over two decades. Not only had it been refurbished, but it'd also become a well-known apartment complex in the area.She followed the address to the 18th floor of Block C. Then, she stopped before unit 1810. Bethany watched Lucille, who stood before the door without moving. She said, "Mrs. Layton, before coming here, I checked with the management. "They said this apartment has been unoccupied for a long time, and the owner was your mother. They also said someone comes to clean the apartment every week. Flynn's already investigating the cleaner."Someone had been cleaning the apartment this whole time? Lucille frowned at that. An odd look flashed in her eyes.Afte

Who was that person, and why had they taken the photo away? What secrets could a photo be keeping? In that instant, Lucille was even more sure that someone was secretly watching her every move. She couldn't detect any traces of them, though.…Flynn came out of the home economics company and got into the car. Then, he said, "The person in charge of the home economics company says they've never met the hirer either, Mrs. Layton. The hirer's the one who contacted them, and they paid five years' worth of fees in one go."They only left a surname—Patton. Whenever they call the home economics company, the phone number is from a different region. I've checked them all, and they're all virtual numbers."Patton? That didn't match up with the alphabet on the silver bracelet Jane had left.Still, the more this mysterious person didn't want to be found, the more Lucille wanted to track them down. After a moment's thought, she said, "Take me to Noddingstern University."…With Flynn aroun

Lucille sat on the bed and rested for a while. When she felt better, she got up to leave the room. Then, she heard the hotel door open with a beep. She frowned at that.Then, a familiar and panicked-looking face appeared in her line of sight. Before she even realized what was happening, she was pulled into a warm embrace that enveloped her in the scent of ambergris.Spencer's heart settled in his chest the moment he had Lucille in his arms. She looked dazed as she asked, "What… what are you doing here?"Mack, Bethany, and the others quickly turned and left the room when they saw the embracing couple. They even shut the door behind them.…Spencer sat on the couch in the living room, his expression grim. Lucille's anemia had acted up because she'd failed to take her meals on time."I'm fine now…" She felt a little diffident as she held his arm and swung it a little. She smiled and blinked at him, looking like a kitten that was asking to be petted. His expression was so scary tha
