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
Meanwhile, after Harold left Central Hospital, the Johnsons went over and heard about the truth from George. Horace was so furious that he almost fainted. He'd desperately pleaded with the police to spare the last shred of his family's dignity. Hence, they didn't expose the truth to the public. Horace had never expected Sabrina to do such a ridiculous and shameful act. He was deeply regretful after hearing from William that Lucille had the Layton family supporting her. Originally, he'd come to the hospital with a plan to advise Sabrina not to pursue the truth of this matter any further. But who would've thought the actual truth would be so embarrassing? He scolded Sabrina and Ivy before storming out, leaving the two terrified and alone in the hospital room.The two of them had practically shot themselves in the foot this time. …Back at Sparrow Residence, Lucille was surprised to learn that Gabriel Lawton was the one who'd gotten someone to take down the viral videos, not
