Under Lila's piercing gaze, Lucille finished the large bowl of stew in front of her. It was the most agonizing and embarrassing lunch she'd ever had.

She'd never thought Lila would visit her at Sparrow Residence all of a sudden.

Looking at the hickeys on Lucille's neck, Lila smiled with satisfaction and nodded. It seemed like the day she would see her grandchild was getting closer. She just wondered if Spencer was up to the task.

It looked like she had to help them stay fit and healthy.

"I'm done with the meal, Mom. I'm so sorry for troubling you with coming all the way here." Lucille couldn't ignore Lila's inquisitive and intense eyes on her, but she couldn't say anything about it.

"Don't worry about it, Lucy. I have a lot of free time anyway. It's good to cook something for you, too. That way, I can contribute a little to my grandchild.

"But still, you two shouldn't overwork yourselves now. Remember to take enough rest," Lila said merrily but didn't forget to remind them

    Lucille recalled Ruben telling her someone from Dark Chamber was looking for her. A thought flashed in Lucille's mind. Did this mean Spencer was from Dark Chamber?Was this a doomed fate or a fortunate one? And he wanted her to restore a microchip—she could guess what it was since she was the one who'd destroyed it. But this wasn't the right time to reveal her identity. "I remember you once logged into the Crimson Gate's system. Do you know Zing?" Spencer asked in his low, tempting voice as Lucille was deep in thought. "No. A friend of mine gave me the account." Lucille solemnly fabricated an excuse. Spencer said nothing, showing no hint of suspicion.Countless countries wanted a talented hacker like Zing for their own, much less Spencer. But she was neither greedy for any power nor afraid of any threats. After all, she was truly capable of fending for herself. Even K Alliance, which Spencer had meticulously developed, was no match for her. "A friend, huh? Is it a man

    "W-Wait, a-are you the youngest mentor of the popular dance competition who's been trending recently, Ms. Serena Brooks?" the sales assistant exclaimed.She covered her mouth in disbelief, not expecting to see Serena in person. "I'm your biggest fan, Ms. Brooks! Your dancing skills are magnificent. Oh, and you look so gorgeous, too! I really like watching you dance. And your critiques as one of the mentors on that show you were recently on were spot-on! We really like you!"This was like a one-on-one, limited-edition fan meeting between Serena and the sales assistant. Of course, the latter would cherish this chance to talk to her idol as much as she could. Serena gently nodded. A subtle glimmer of brilliance shone beneath her sunglasses as she maintained a gentle smile at all times. She replied softly, "I'm glad you like me. But I'm just here to shop with my friend. So, please keep it low-key, okay?" The sales assistant subconsciously covered her mouth and nodded. "Oops, sorr

    "I'm not blind. I know Serena has something for Uncle Ian," Bailey said. She'd recognized Serena at first sight. After all, both of them worked in the entertainment industry, so of course, she'd seen Serena before. But Eunice was more surprised that Bailey knew about Serena's feelings for Ian. "But I'm curious about what happened between you and Serena," Bailey said. She'd overheard Eunice and Serena's conversation at Fairy. She remembered the two had been quite close back in the day. But seeing how coldly Eunice had treated Serena, the latter must've done something to offend her.Lucille listened on the side, feeling somewhat confused. After a moment of silence, Eunice finally explained. Eunice and Serena had been university mates. Both had graduated with a major in dancing and had been best friends back in university. However, they'd participated in a dance competition in their final year. Just when Eunice had been about to go on stage, she'd found that her costume h

    It took Wesley 30 minutes to track down Eunice's whereabouts. After hesitating, he finally bit the bullet and said in reluctance, "Um, Mr. Moore, why don't you check your text messages?" Wesley had been on a business trip abroad with Ian, working from dawn until dusk every day. He'd been so busy that he'd barely had time for a toilet break, let alone to check his private messages. He'd been so busy that he hadn't had time at all, not to mention Ian. Besides, Ian seldom checked his phone to begin with. Wesley had only noticed Eunice's text message when Ian called him. It had been sent the morning after they'd left for the business trip. The text read, "Hey, Mr. Dawson. Please ask Ian to check his text messages. But I guess he won't have the time to check it anyway. "Perhaps you could pass the message to him. Tell him I've filed for a divorce and will leave with nothing. I've signed the divorce papers. It's on the bedside table in the master bedroom. Thank you." Wesley was pe

    At Sparrow Residence, "Wait, what did you say?" Lucille asked, thinking she'd misheard Spencer. Spencer had told her earlier that Ian had been on a business trip for a week, so he hadn't known that Eunice had filed for a divorce. In fact, Ian had just found out about it and was currently in Whiteloop City. Spencer had actually figured this out when Lucille had first told him about Eunice's divorce. With Ian's personality, there was no way he'd agree to a divorce that easily. But Spencer hadn't expected Eunice to leave while Ian was on a business trip. Meanwhile, Lucille respected Eunice's guts of acting first and informing later. …Eunice woke up the next day, clenching her teeth as she endured the immense pain all over her body. She had a class to attend at 10:00 am. She'd ignored Ian's threat last night, but when she'd rushed toward the elevator, he'd caught her and carried her to the apartment above hers. He'd told her that disobedient people should be punished. Eun

    Celine was a chatterbox. While she'd just graduated from university this year, she'd been teaching at the dance studio for over a year, first as a part-timer and then as a full-time instructor. "But Eunie, is this really your first time teaching children?" Celine asked in disbelief. She'd been in Eunice's class before, which was fun and completely different from hers. It didn't look like Eunice had zero teaching experience at all. Eunice nodded. "It is. But I'm really not as good as you say. I still have a lot more to learn from you." As they chatted, they soon arrived at a nearby restaurant. The restaurant was filled with people, given it was lunch hour. But luckily, there was still an empty booth for them. Eunice and Celine quickly ordered their food. Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the entrance. People were curious by nature; Celine turned to look toward the entrance and saw a handsome man in a black suit going upstairs to the private dining area on the se

    Serena walked up to Eunice. "It's actually you, Eunie. I was just telling Ianny that I saw someone who looked like you. He didn't believe me." Her gentle voice was sweet, and her face radiated with a charming smile.Eunice hadn't looked at her, but the person she'd mentioned was…Since Wesley was present, it meant Ian was too. Thus, the person Serena had been referring to had to be Ian. Just as Eunice figured that out, a wave of a familiar scent filled her nose. When she turned her head, she saw Ian standing beside her, wearing an all-black suit set. His restrained yet mature allure magnified infinitely, and his stern face remained unreadable, showing no hint of emotion.Yet, what grabbed Eunice's attention was the brown men's coat resting on Serena's shoulders. It looked familiar because Eunice had bought it for Ian. Suddenly, she found the scene before her unbearable, and a buzz rang in her ears. She felt a lump in her throat while her nose tingled. Taking a deep breath, s

    At a cafe, Lucille narrowed her eyes as she sat before Charles, who leisurely enjoyed his coffee. "Am I supposed to be here watching you drink coffee?" Five minutes had passed, yet he hadn't stated his purpose. Had it not been for her good upbringing, she would've left without a care."Relax. We must enjoy the coffee while it's hot, right? Once it gets cold, it's not as fragrant anymore," he said calmly. After a long while, he continued, "You're the mystery guest for the International Medical Conference tomorrow." It wasn't a question but a statement.Lucille scrunched her brows, staring straight at him with a complex gaze. He was expressionless, with his somewhat enchanting eyes slightly upturned. His lips quivered, and his tone was serene as he held his hands out in a shrug. "I didn't steal any confidential information. It's unlike me to do illegal stuff. I just happened to see your name on the list."Just happened to see it? Lucille didn't believe a single word that came

    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
