In fact, Lucille hadn't had much expectation for her birthday celebration. Besides, she and Spencer were already married, so she didn't think it was necessary. She was always easily satisfied when it came to this sort of thing.She lowered her head to look at Spencer, who'd dropped to one knee before her. Suddenly, everything became blurry; she didn't even realize tears had filled her eyes.At this moment, she was touched. She nodded and said, "Yes, I will."As soon as she said those words and was about to tell Spencer to get up, a group of people emerged from the side.It was Bailey, Jonathan, Seth, Ethan, Eunice, James, Marie, Lila, Eric, and the others."Lulu, are you surprised?" At this moment, Jessica's voice sounded from the crowd.Lucille was dumbfounded. She looked at Spencer, who had stood before her. Just as she parted her lips to ask him a question, everything went dark as he leaned in and kissed her lips.The next thing she heard was the sound of people cheering for
At Sparrow Residence, Spencer came out from the shower and saw that the room was empty. Lucille, who said she would wait for him, was nowhere to be found. He put on his pajamas and left the bedroom before running into Herbert. "Herbert, where's Mrs. Layton?" Herbert smiled and said, "Oh, Mrs. Layton is opening her presents in the storage room." Spencer then headed to the storage room. Inside, Licille sat on the carpet with her legs crossed. She felt overwhelmed looking at the pile of presents, but accepted her fate and started unwrapping them. After unwrapping a few, she felt a warmth coming from behind, along with the familiar scent of bodywash. Spencer easily lifted her and placed her on his lap. He touched her neck, his thumb caressing her earlobe. He said huskily, "Are you hiding from me?" Lucille wrapped her arm around his shoulder. "Huh? No. Can't you see I'm unwrapping the presents?" She pointed at the mountain of presents, proving that she wasn't lying. Spencer
Lucille procrastinated and finally arrived at the office at about 11:00 am. Luckily, it had gotten colder recently, so she could wear a turtleneck to cover up the hickeys Spencer had left on her neck.She wore a tailor-made blue casual suit with a black turtleneck shirt inside. She even put on shoes instead of her usual high heels. But when Bailey saw her, she immediately asked, "Babe, why are you wearing a turtleneck? Don't you hate turtlenecks?" Lucille lightly coughed and said, acting normal, "It's cold today. I found out turtlenecks are quite comfy." "But you always said turtlenecks constrict your neck, right?" Bailey asked. Lucille maintained her expression. "Yeah, but people change." Bailey wasn't easily fooled. She knew Lucille very well. She leaned closer to the latter suddenly and smiled sneakily. "Be honest. Did you really not do anything with Mr. Layton last night?" Lucille remained silent. Bailey had such a sharp nose. "What could we have done? I was busy u
Lucille didn't even bother to blink when William roared at her. She tilted her head and cleaned her ears unconcernedly, as though she weren't the one getting shouted at. Her indifferent reaction made William even more frustrated. Yet, there was no way he could vent.After a moment of silence, Lucille lifted her cold eyes at them. She said in an emotionless yet slightly chilling voice, "Originally, I had no interest in Johnson Group's shares. Plus, since I've already gotten my mom's memento back, I did think about returning the shares to you." Horace's and William's eyes sparkled with joy for a second. Lucille continued, "But I've changed my mind." Horace's and William's smiles immediately stiffened. "You—" William burst in anger. He jolted up, pointing his finger at Lucille. But before he could start screaming at her, her piercing, hostile eyes glared at him, leaving him stunned. Seeing his fearful expression and how he was hesitant to speak, Lucille chuckled disdainfully.
Kevin calmly took out a document from his leather pouch and said, "This is the contract Ms. Jane signed. It is legally binding, compliant, and valid, with the date before when you signed your agreement."Actually, Ms. Jane did mention this contract when she signed the agreement with you."Horace and William were left in shock. Jane had completely outsmarted them. Ivy had no idea about the contents of the agreement. But she heard a key point and said proudly, "Dad, this brat isn't married yet. So, the agreement is still valid!" Horace was delighted and said to Kevin, "Mr. Turner, Lucille isn't married yet. So, we can still take back 30% of shares, correct?" Lucille, who'd been sitting relaxedly on the couch like a ghost, said lazily, "Who told you I'm not married?" She stood up, waved her hand before her face, and let out a fake sigh. "It's all my dear Mr. Layton's fault for choosing such a tiny diamond that couldn't dazzle someone's eyes. I'll have him buy another diamond rin
Knowing Eunice was coming to Whiteloop City, Bailey booked a table at noon at La Belle Époque, a high-end Faelisian restaurant. Bailey, Eunice, and Lucille were all beauties, each had different charms, and they naturally caught the other patrons' attention. But the trio was used to having this attention and started chatting as soon as they were seated. Eunice didn't have any close friends. But since she'd met Lucille and Bailey, she'd become more cheerful and talkative than before. Bailey sipped her water before asking, "So Eunie, why did you come to Whiteloop City for this time?" Eunice replied with a smile, "I plan to settle here in Whiteloop City." Bailey and Lucille thought they had misheard Eunice and stared at her simultaneously. Eunice pouted and asked, "What's wrong? You don't welcome me?" Bailey shook her head. "No, we're just surprised!" Lucille asked, "But why did you suddenly consider settling here?" Bailey also asked, "Is Uncle Ian coming, too?" She'd
"I've already settled the bills. Please wait here for a moment, Bailey and Eunie. I have to use this washroom," Lucille said. As she exited the washroom, she bumped Sabrina, whom she hadn't seen for half a month, at the stairway. She merely glared at Sabrina and was about to go down the stairs when the said in a delicate and gentle voice, "Wait, Lucille. I have something to tell you." Lucille turned a deaf ear to her, but she was stopped by an arm. She frowned, and her eyes gleamed with a hint of irritation. Lucille lazily raised her gaze and said without mercy, "Stop acting familiar. We're no longer a family."Sabrina wasn't angry or embarrassed. It seemed like fate was on her side. She'd never thought she'd meet this little bitch, Lucille, when Lorelei invited her for lunch today. She'd heard about what happened two days ago from Ivy. It turned out that Lucille had gotten married and taken 30% of Johnson Group's shares. While she felt resentful since Horace had only gi
Harold hastily arrived outside the operating room of Central Hospital. When he received Lorelei's call, he'd immediately adjourned the meeting he'd been in and rushed to the hospital. Lorelei saw Harold and sobbed. "Harry! Sabrina lost a lot of blood!" Life drained from Harold's eyes. He then asked with a solemn expression, "What happened? How did Bree fall off the stairs so suddenly?" Lorelei only told Harold that Sabrina fell down the stairs on the phone without mentioning any other things. With red eyes filled with tears, she pointed angrily at Lucille and her friends, who were seated not far away. 'It's her! Lucille pushed Sabrina down the stairs! She was envious of Sabrina for having your baby. We were having lunch at La Belle Époque when we ran into Lucille. Then, she argued with Sabrina by the staircase and pushed Sabrina when she couldn't stand it!" These were all based on Lorelei's assumption. She had always disliked Lucille. So, she would take any chance to badmou
