Sitting in the first row were the big names in the pharmaceutical research field.

Sitting in the fourth row, Corey looked at a certain man and showed annoyance. He couldn't help but feel upset by what had happened the night before. Nonetheless, he had to admit that Spencer was compatible with Lucille, thanks to his influential background.

Still, could such a prominent man be loyal to his partner? He wasn't doubting Lucille's charm but rather a man's ability to stay faithful. After all, he himself was guilty in that aspect.

Beside him was Shirley, who had no choice but to return to her designated seat. She was truly annoyed when her shoulders bumped into his, but she could do nothing about it.

When she saw him staring fixedly at the front and looked in that direction, she had an idea. She casually asked, "Are you interested in men too, Mr. Sheffield?"

Corey furrowed his brows and averted his gaze to her. He gradually tensed up his face as if taunting her. "Say that again if you d

    The people gathered at the venue gasped at the scene. The young couple had taken the seats right in the center. The woman in particular had taken the seat in the very middle.Someone asked, "Who's that woman? Why is she sitting in such an important seat when she's so young?""Who cares? I have to say, she's gorgeous," another responded."Anyone who can sit there is basically a genius in the research world," a third said.Meanwhile, the people who knew Lucille were stunned. Ethan gaped at her and asked, "What's Luce doing here? And why's she in the main seat?"Zachary and Lucas also watched Lucille curiously. What was going on?All three of them turned to look at Spencer, who looked calm and composed. His eyes were bright as he focused his gaze on Lucille.It looked like he'd long since known she would be there. The realization dawned on the three men—they now knew why Spencer had insisted on attending this conference when he usually hated these things. It was yet another way o

    Zachary rubbed his arms and nodded. "It is a little chilly." He paused, then said pointedly, "Maybe someone's AC has gone out of whack."Ethan clucked his tongue and quipped, "I don't smell any refrigerant here or anything, but you know what I do smell? Jealousy."Zachary switched the subject to talk about Patrick. "Luce's senior apprentice looks like quite the gentleman, doesn't he? He also sounds gentle and composed, as one would expect of a scholar.""He's knowledgeable, too. It's hard not to be interested in men like him," Ethan added. "I have to admit that women find men like him quite attractive."Lucas listened silently. They seemed to be having fun teasing Spencer. Yesterday's meal had been more than enough for everyone to see how hostile Spencer was toward Patrick. His jealousy had basically been written all over his face.After a brief silence, Spencer said icily, "Go ahead and get him if you're interested in him. I think you guys are pretty good matches for him. If yo

    "Patrick Horton is such a nice name. I hereby announce that Ricky is the man of my dreams and my idol!""What I want to know is which door God has closed for my lover boy.""The one that allows you to marry him.""Hahaha! That's so mean!"The viewers chatted away. Meanwhile, the backend staff watched as the livestream chat went from talking about the actual convention to discussing Patrick's looks. They rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things, and indeed, they weren't.In that instant, everyone understood that the viewers had come to check Patrick out. Well, that was none of the staff members' business. It was great that they had gotten more viewers without needing to spend a dime. They'd take what they could get.Thanks to this, the cameras basically zoomed in on Patrick's face. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed there were several more handsome guys seated in the arena. Everyone had thought only old folks would attend such a convention. Who would've known there

    "Now, let us welcome Adora, who has published over 200 SCI papers. She's also known as Ms. Lucille Johnson," Patrick said.Most of the people present clapped enthusiastically at his words, while a small group of people were stunned."Who did he just introduce Luce as? How many SCI papers has she published?" Ethan asked, looking a little dumbstruck.Among the four men, Lucas was the only one who knew who Adora was. His jaw dropped slightly—Lucille's identity was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect her to be the mysterious Adora that everyone in the medical field lauded as a genius in research.One had to have more than brains to publish over 200 SCI papers, and she was so young, too. She was undoubtedly a genius in this aspect, and she was only 24 years old. Most people her age had only just graduated from university. And so, Lucas didn't expect Lucille to be the internationally renowned Adora.Spencer frowned slightly at Patrick's announcement but didn't say anything. He

    "Be honest with me—Luce isn't human, right?" Ethan felt a chill run down his spine as soon as the words were out of his mouth. This was followed by a look so sharp that it made him feel like he'd been stabbed.Zachary gave him a look as though saying, "You're on your own, mate." At the same time, Spencer gave him an icy look. He didn't follow up with anything else, but it was enough to make Ethan gulp.He had reason to believe that if not for this being the wrong place and the fact that he and Spencer were good friends, the latter would've killed him.In truth, he hadn't meant anything negative with his question. It was just that Lucille was involved in such different fields that it didn't seem like something humanly possible. It was almost like her genes were completely different from the rest of the Johnson family's.Why else would they have been biased against her since she was a child? And why would they go around ruining her reputation, even going so far as to sever ties with

    Lucille didn't attend the tender meeting in the afternoon. Since her identity as Adora had been unmasked in the morning, Star&Ciel Group's stock price had increased exponentially.Bailey forced Lucille to sit on the couch in the latter's office. The former had already been staring at Lucille for the past 15 minutes without saying anything.Lucille placed a hand on her forehead and broke the silence. "If you have anything to say, just spit it out. It's kind of creepy for you to keep staring at me like that."Bailey pressed her lips together and scoffed. Then, she said, "Tell me how many more secret identities you're keeping from me! I can't believe I had to learn about this through the news!"She even sounded a little aggrieved. Lucille didn't even flinch as she said, "Spencer's only just found out, too."In other words, she was saying that Bailey didn't need to feel aggrieved, seeing as her own husband had just found out about this.Bailey fell silent. She plopped onto the couch

    In truth, there was no need for Charles to thank Lucille. His company was one of the companies that had caught her eye right from the start.He was actually better at covering his tracks than anyone else she knew. He'd hidden himself so thoroughly that she'd never have known the company was his if he hadn't let her in on the secret.…That night, an unwelcome guest showed up at Sparrow Residence. Well, maybe he wasn't exactly unwelcome. The guest was Seth, after all.Lucille was the first to arrive home. As soon as she entered the manor, she saw Seth sprawled on the couch.She approached him and narrowed her eyes at him, watching him play with his phone. "What are you doing here?"He looked up at her voice and immediately sat up straight. "Hi, Lucille."She hummed in acknowledgment and sat on the couch across from him. Then, she glanced at the black suitcase by the couch and asked, "Have you run away from home?"He placed his phone on the couch beside him and smiled, looking a

    The following morning, Spencer headed downstairs to see Seth seated at the dining table."Morning, brother dearest." Seth beamed while eating sourdough bread.Spencer frowned as he sat at the head of the table. He shot Seth a look and said coldly, "Did you come over here so early in the morning to disgust me? Drop that revolting smile."Seth was lost for words. How had he been disgusting or revolting? He turned to look at Herbert and asked earnestly, "Was my smile revolting, Herbert?"The latter smiled fondly. "No."Seth said, "I knew it. I'm so handsome that there's no way I'll ever look bad with a smile on."Spencer ignored him and took a sip of his milk. Then, he elegantly dug into his breakfast.However, Seth was a chatterbox and couldn't keep his mouth shut for long. He glanced at the staircase and asked seemingly casually, "Is Lucille still asleep?"Spencer didn't even bother looking at him. "Eat your breakfast, or get lost."He wasn't bothered by Spencer's iciness. He w

    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
