A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 222
Mack and Flynn led four men to Ghosthorn and charged into Phantom's territory."Sir, we're in trouble!" Phantom had been trying to be nice as he'd pressed Bethany for information when he heard his subordinate screaming his head off while running into the room.He snapped irritably, "What trouble can we be in? Don't tell me you've seen a ghost!"Honestly, when had the people of Ghosthorn become such cowards?"Someone's broken in here, sir! They took out our men keeping guard upstairs, and they've already reached the hall on the basement floor." This time, Phantom's subordinate got his sentence out in one go.A trace of anger flashed in Phantom's eyes when he heard that. He pressed his lips together and gnashed his teeth. "Who's the fool who dares cause trouble on my turf?"Bethany's first thought was that Spencer's men had arrived.When Phantom got to the hall at the basement floor, the scene that greeted him was rather horrific. There were men sprawled all over the floor, and th

Six million dollars?Mack was surprised to hear that. It sounded like a familiar sum of money…Spencer stood tall behind Lucille. He looked like an unshakeable mountain; he was the strongest supporter and shield she'd ever have. He raised an eyebrow while lowering his eyes to look at the back of her head. He smiled faintly.To Phantom's frustration, Lucille said, "I didn't trick you out of anything. I took your money openly."Phantom had never been subject to such frustration in the 28 years of his life, nor had he ever met someone as thick-skinned as her. She sounded so matter-of-fact and calm, too!He glared at her. "You were open about it? That's called stealing! What do you think I am, an ATM?""If I hadn't told you what I'd done, you would've still been in the dark about this." Lucille's attitude was leisurely and flippant from beginning to end, but her words were so arrogant that it made one want to rip one's hair out."So, should I fucking thank you for telling me the t

Phantom felt like he'd encountered his first real obstacle in life, and it was none other than Lucille. She didn't take his words seriously at all.To make matters worse, one of his subordinates couldn't read the room and said, "Why do I feel like she isn't scared of us, sir? Does she think we're pushovers?"Phantom glared at him. Lucille wasn't the only one who wasn't scared of them—the people she'd brought with her hadn't even batted their eyes despite his men filling the hall.After a moment, Spencer tucked his free hand into his pocket while keeping one arm around Lucille's waist. He turned slightly to look imperiously at Phantom and the others.For a split second, Phantom found his figure rather familiar. He knew he didn't recognize that face, though. Many men in the world had good figures, so it was only normal for people to have similar figures. He soon used this as an excuse to deny the guess that had formed in his mind.Still, the air of nobility Spencer exuded was stro

As everyone watched, Phantom's expression changed from a lifeless one to an ingratiating one. His subordinates couldn't help thinking that it was such a waste that he wasn't an actor. He said, "Get back to what you were doing, guys. This is all a misunderstanding. We're all family here."He waved a hand. His subordinates exchanged looks before leaving. They weren't fools, and they'd heard the earlier conversation. Spencer was their actual boss—when was the best time to leave if not now?They'd stood tall and proud earlier, but now, they scurried away, their backs bent.Phantom led the others to a lavishly decorated room. He looked at Spencer and Lucille, who sat across from him. They were a perfect match, whether in terms of appearance or bearing. He'd never expected to have something so humiliating happen to him one day."Uh, boss, you two are…" he started tentatively. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and his gaze traveled between Lucille and Spencer."She's my wife,"

Blake had been looking for Lucille the whole morning. She hadn't answered her phone, so he'd chosen to wait for her in Ivory Hotel's lobby.Spencer had Lucille's hand in his as they entered the hotel. Then, someone cried urgently, "Lucille, Lucille!"They turned to see Blake jogging toward them. Before he could get close, Mack and Flynn stretched their arms to stop him. He skidded to a stop, feeling nonplussed.Everyone in Marvonia knew he was the scion of the Horton family; no one had dared to stop him in his life.Lucille said, "It's fine. You don't need to stop him."Mack and Flynn lowered their arms. Lucille asked, "Why were you looking for me?"Only then did Blake notice Spencer standing beside Lucille. More importantly, he was holding her hand. What was up with that? Did Lucille have a boyfriend? What about his brother, then? Did this mean she wouldn't have anything to do with their family?A barrage of questions flooded his mind. For a moment, he forgot why he was at the

The tailored suit showed off Spencer's natural nobility, and he was handsome enough that every feature of his was good-looking even when alone.When grouped together, they formed a face that seemed to have been chiseled by the gods. It was flawless. However, the iciness he exuded made one afraid to approach him.Patrick was a researcher, so his outfits were mainly casual. He wore a white shirt, khaki-colored pants, and white sneakers. His style was more neat and bookish, while Spencer's was mature and level-headed. Their styles were completely different, but there was one thing they had in common.Blake couldn't help feeling awkward when he witnessed this scene upon getting out of the car. He'd always known that Patrick had feelings for Lucille.Back then, Patrick had thought that Lucille was too young, at only 19 years of age, so he hadn't confessed his feelings to her. Instead, he'd secretly crushed on her for six years. To this day, she wasn't aware of his feelings.After a bri

Matthew had Lucille join him in his study. Naturally, this meant the three other men—Spencer, Patrick, and Blake—were left in the living room.Spencer wasn't on his own turf, but that didn't stop him from being commanding. Once Matthew and Lucille were gone, the domineering presence he'd been holding back was unleashed. Even seated, he seemed like a king looking down at his subjects.Blake felt a little sorry for himself for getting dragged into this and found it hard to remain seated. It was always tense when rivals in love clashed, and he didn't want to get dragged into the battle between Spencer and Patrick. So, he found an excuse to leave. He'd completed his mission anyway.Spencer sat with his hands atop his crossed legs, and his attitude was as leisurely as if he were at home. He slowly twisted the ring on his index finger. It seemed like a subconscious action, yet it felt like he was using that to proclaim something.Patrick had already seen the matching rings Spencer and

After two hours, Spencer held Lucille's hand and left the Horton residence.Initially, Matthew had wanted Lucille to stay for dinner, but if she'd stayed, Spencer would've also wanted to stay. So, in the end, Matthew didn't ask anyone to stay."What did you and Patrick talk about downstairs?" Lucille asked as soon as she got in the car. She'd noticed that Patrick's expression seemed off when she'd left. He rarely looked distracted and gloomy.Spencer fiddled with her fingers and said leisurely, "It's just some stuff between guys."Lucille was at a loss for words, but she explained succinctly, "I just think of Patrick as a brother."Spencer smiled at her words. "I know. After all, I'm better than everyone else. Even a fool would've chosen me."Lucille was rendered speechless again. Spencer had thick skin, but she liked his confidence. This time, she didn't respond to him. Instead, she took out her phone to text someone.…An hour later, Lucille and Spencer had just returned to t

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.
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 699
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?"
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 698
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
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 697
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
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 696
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
