Lucille wasn't mad at William's words. Instead, she maintained an unusually calm expression.

Eunice and Bailey, however, almost swore when they heard William. What kind of father was he? Lucille and Sabrina were both his daughters, yet they were treated unequally.

He just started yelling at people without understanding the situation. How could his mouth be so filthy?

Lincoln and Ophelia also reached the hospital. But they courteously greeted the Johnsons before standing by the side in silence.

Meanwhile, a video went viral online. It depicted Lucille pushing Sabrina down the stairs at La Belle Époque. Although it only showed Lucille's side profile, anyone who'd seen her could tell it was her.

Of course, everyone had freedom of speech online. So, there were all kinds of people saying all sorts of things. One thread even contained thousands of comments.

"My mama always said pretty women are wicked. Looks like she wasn't wrong!"

"My god, I don't know what to say about this pa

    "Sir, I've checked the surveillance footage at La Belle Époque. But unfortunately, Mrs. Layton was blocking the view of the surveillance camera," Mack said worriedly. The worst part was that the footage captured made it look like Lucille had pushed Sabrina down the stairs. Soon, Spencer and Mack hastily made their way to the hospital. "Get someone to take down the video first!" Spencer had a solemn expression, and his eyes were unbelievably icy."Yes, sir!" Mack then made a phone call. But after the person said something, he was stunned momentarily before hanging up the phone and turning to the backseat. "Sir, they said all the videos and articles about Mrs. Layton were taken down five minutes ago." Spencer was about to say something when his phone rang. It was from Lucas. "Hello?" Spencer said. "Spence, you don't have to come to the hospital. Just go to the police station," Lucas said. "Luce was taken away for an interview. She's okay; don't worry about her." Then,

    When Harold and William arrived at the police station, the latter immediately started yelling at Lucille, "You're a disgrace to the Johnson family! I never thought you'd be this vicious to push Sabrina down the stairs, causing her to lose her child! "Do you know she was still defending you when she woke up? No matter how much she defends you this time, it's useless! I'll make you pay for what you did!" Before Lucille said anything, Spencer patted her head while they were still embracing, signaling her to let him handle this. "How exactly are you going to make her pay?" Spencer pressed his lips with his eyebrows raised. His pitch-black pupils exuded a chilling gaze, and his tone was so cold it could make people shiver. William didn't know who Spencer was, but he had an intimidating presence belonging to a powerful, upper-class figure. Still, William bore through the suffocating pressure and said, "Of course, someone with such malicious intent must be jailed!" "Is that so? As

    After asking Mack to stay for the rest of the matters, Spencer left with Lucille. In the car, he wanted to ask her if she was frightened, but he sighed and gave up the thought when he remembered the times she'd beaten up other people and also her calm composure when facing a bomb. Considering that Lucille didn't seem that timid, he asked, "Should we head back home or to the company?" Lucille pondered momentarily before smiling and said, "Let's go home." "Okay, sure." Spencer patted the back of her head before starting the engine and leaving the police station. After a long silence in the car, Lucille said, "I was wondering about something before you came." Spencer asked while his eyes were focused on the road, "What is it?" "Sabrina just got the most precious thing in the world. You can even say she's won at life. I, on the other hand, am nothing compared to her in the Johnsons' eyes. "So why would she risk her own life to ruin mine? She is even willing to sacrifice her

    Spencer's pitch-black eyes slightly sparkled as he remained expressionless. The next moment, Lucille found herself inexplicably pinned onto the couch. Before she could react, Spencer pressed his lips onto hers, eliciting a moan from her. Lucille didn't resist but quickly accepted his sudden, passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck in response to his kiss. With their lips connected, the kiss went from aggressive to passionate. The air of romance slowly rose following their increasingly heavy breathing as the temperature in the living room gradually rose. After an unknown amount of time, when Lucille felt she was on the verge of suffocation, Spencer finally released her lips before leaning to her ear and pecking her ear lobe. She could feel the change in his body. But Spencer stopped. Lucille didn't dare to move, afraid he might swallow her whole, even though the sun was still brightly shining outside.After a while, she heard Spencer whispering beside her ear

    Sabrina felt even more scared and guilty for framing Lucille this time compared to the previous times. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." Sabrina shifted her gaze away to avoid eye contact with her. Lucille remained calm and leisurely sat down on the couch. The room fell into complete silence. After a while, Sabrina couldn't stand the silence and asked, "What do you want?" Lucille lazily looked up and calmly gazed at Sabrina. She casually replied, "Not much. I just want to chat with you." As if noticing Sabrina's cautiousness, Lucille continued, "Don't worry, I'm not livestreaming this time! It's just the two of us here." She smiled mysteriously before saying mockingly, "After all, it's nothing to be proud of. Let's just keep this to ourselves." Sabrina said nothing. She stared at Lucille without any emotion. Had Lucille found out about it?But she immediately pushed that thought away. Impossible! There's no way she could find out about this. Sabrina had already e

    Lucille had always been popular since her childhood. It wasn't only because she was attractive, but because her radiant eyes that reminded one of the glittering galaxy. They never failed to catch people's attention. Starting with jealousy over her beauty, Sabrina had eventually wanted to take everything she had and had even felt entitled to do so. Since she hadn't wanted to let anyone know her intentions, she'd always pretended to be weak. After all, the squeaky wheels always got the grease. That also included Harold. Sabrina had fallen in love with him when they'd first met in high school. It wasn't only because he was handsome, but also because he'd been Lucille's fiancé. "Are you trying to set me up?" Sabrina asked in a lowered voice. The room was so quiet with just the two of them that even the faint sound of a pin dropping could be heard. "I'm just kidding! Why would I set you up? What's to be afraid of when you have nothing to hide, right? Lucille dismissed it with a

    Suddenly, the door was slammed open, knocking into the wall loudly. Sabrina was shocked by the sudden, loud noise. Her eyes widened, trembling in horror as she looked at Harold entering the room. She was petrified, and her body subconsciously tensed up. Why was he here? Did he hear what she'd said?Fuming, Harold entered the room. He furiously glared at Sabrina, who was at a loss, with an icy gaze. The veins popped on his forehead, making him look like a raging tiger. He said in a cold, hurtful tone, "Sabrina, you whore!" Sabrina's mind instantly went blank as she stared at Harold in disbelief. It turned out that he'd indeed heard what she'd said. Hence, he'd called her a whore. She watched as anger, disappointment, and a hint of disgust filled Harold's eyes. She started shivering as she panicked. Tears quickly flooded her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. She wanted to get up and hold his hand, but her injury wouldn't allow her to move, as any movement would aggravate her

    After Lucille left for the hospital, Spencer went to JM Corporation. Lucille had zero idea that the video of her "pushing" Sabrina down the stairs had gone viral online and had subsequently been taken down completely. But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care about it. "Sir, we've found who took down Mrs. Layton's videos. It was the higher-ups." Seamus couldn't believe it when he found out who did it. But he didn't waste any time to report it back to Spencer. Higher-ups? Spencer sat on his chair with a solemn expression. He narrowed his eyes as his forehead creased. His cold, chiseled features had such a strong presence that they could almost suffocate the tiniest speck of dust in the air. After a while, he smiled ambiguously. Seamus was confused but didn't dare to ask. He hadn't expected the higher-ups would protect Lucille, too. On the surface, she was just an overlooked and impoverished daughter of the Johnson family and the CEO of a small corporation. But i

    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.

    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?"

    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

    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

    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
