A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 28
"There is no why. As a Johsnon, you naturally must attend," Horace explained hastily.Lucille wasn't going to dig deeper. Even if she asked further, they weren't going to tell the truth anyway."Secondly, you should return the shares to the Johnson Group that your mother left you to the Johnson family. They should go to your sister, the actual eldest daughter of the Johnson family," Horace continued self-righteously without any shame.Lucille sighed and let out a cold snort.Behind her, Samuel was also stunned into silence. What a flimsy reason.Lucille then asked nonchalantly, "So she is the eldest daughter of the Johnson family, is she?" She shifted her gaze to Sabrina, who had kept quiet until now. Smiling, she continued, "She's only older than me by 20 days. If worse comes to worst, I'll just change my age."As soon as she said that, the others were stunned. They never thought she would ever say such a thing.Samuel was quietly giving his boss a big thumbs-up. He expected no

"I'll put the shares aside for now, but you must transfer 20% of the Star&Ciel Group shares to your sister."When Lucille saw her father playing favorites again, she was stunned. She nearly thought she was hallucinating.Narrowing her eyes, she said coldly, "Can you repeat that?"William said indignantly, "Your mother married into the Johnson family. Even though she's dead, she's still a Johnson. The company that she established is a marital asset. Now, I want you to transfer 20% of its shares to your sister. It is completely reasonable, and you have to do it even if you don't want to."Samuel was dumbfounded!A shameless person was impossible to reason with. The Johnson family had completely ruined his faith in humanity. He couldn't believe that someone could say such a bewildering thing.Instantly, the air turned frosty. Everyone couldn't help but shudder."It is completely reasonable, you say?" Lucille said coldly. Her icy gaze pierced straight through William's adamant demea

Samuel pondered the question for a moment then said, "From an outsider's perspective, he's an unrestrained, cynical young man who spends his days in strip clubs and bars. Rumors follow him wherever he goes. However…"Lucille kept quiet, waiting for Samuel to finish his sentence.After a brief pause, he continued, "A year ago, Mr. Sanders suddenly took over the management of the Sanders Corporation's hotel chain. The hotels' reputation wasn't doing well; they often received complaints about their amenities and service."However, looking back on the year, I think the complaints have reduced significantly. Not to mention, the hotels' profits had grown 2% compared to previous years. Although it's not much, it is a step in the right direction."As he checked off each point, he suddenly thought of a possibility. His eyes lit up as he said, "Perhaps his cynical and wild attitude is a front."Lucille narrowed her eyes. "He isn't the son of Mr. Sanders Senior's wife. He's actually the ille

Lucille received a message from Bailey at around 11:00 am. "I'll arrive in Whiteloop City at 3:00 pm, babe. Come and pick me up!"Lucille asked, "Didn't you say you'd be back next Tuesday?"Bailey replied, "There was a change in plans. Gotta go—I need to board the plane. Talk to you later!""Okay."…At noon, Spencer went over to pick Lucille up for lunch at Zaytun Pavilion as usual. It had already become a habit for them, and the speed at which their relationship was progressing made Lucille feel like she was dreaming. Neither of them mentioned last night's kiss."Oh, right. What time are we heading back this evening?" Lucilla asked while eating. She probably wouldn't return to the company after picking Bailey up in the afternoon.Spencer stopped and looked at her tenderly. "We're not in a rush or anything; we can leave around 6:00 pm. What's wrong? Do you have something planned?"He usually didn't speak while eating, but he'd changed his habit for her sake."No, it's nothi

The deafening shout made Lucille frown. She felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. She'd known things would end up like this, which was why she hadn't said anything in the car.Bailey sat dazedly on the couch after screaming. She looked rather distraught as she clutched her chest and tried to calm herself down. She muttered, "Give me a moment. I need to process this."Lucille didn't say anything. Bailey stared at her and said, "I've only been gone for a month. How'd you get into a shotgun marriage within such a short time?"Before Lucille could say anything, Bailey continued, "I'll let the marriage slide. What I can't believe is that you've married such a bigwig!"Lucille decided to remain silent until Bailey was done processing. The latter's eyes widened in shock, and she asked, "Babe, do you even realize who your husband is?""I didn't know it when we registered our marriage. I only investigated him after," Lucille said obediently.Bailey clutched her chest aga

Spencer watched as Lucille and Bailey whispered among themselves a distance away. He smiled, enjoying Lucille's rare display of liveliness. She'd been rather reserved with him so far.Bailey sneaked a look at Spencer's face before nudging Lucille gently. She smirked and said, "Not bad, babe. Mr. Layton's a good catch! His hot body and good looks make his money and power seem negligible!"Lucille was lost for words. Bailey raised an eyebrow cheekily and said conspiratorially, "Looks like you won't need to worry about not being satisfied. Speaking of which, is he good in bed?"Lucille wanted to crack Bailey's head open to see what was inside. She narrowed her eyes and threatened, "Say one more word, Bailey, and I'll take back the bonus I've promised you!"At that, Bailey immediately clutched Lucille's arms and said, "Wait, don't! That and this are two different matters. As your friend, I'm just worried about your quality of life! Don't you get that?"Lucille said huffily, "No, I don

As soon as the words were out of Lucille's mouth, she saw Spencer's smile grow. He seemed to be very happy. The next thing she knew, her vision darkened as Spencer pressed his lips to hers. He pulled away after a few seconds and said sexily, "That's your reward."Lucille didn't know how to respond to that. Had he rewarded her with a kiss because she said she hadn't had feelings for Harold?Her burning face told her just how shy she felt at the moment.Outside the car, Bailey squealed in excitement. She even stomped her feet. "Oh, my God. My God! They've kissed! Kissed!"She'd still yet to wrap her mind around everything even after Spencer and Lucille left. Even in her wildest dreams, she never would've expected Lucille to win the heart of someone as rich and powerful as Spencer. This was amazing!The Layton family had been around for at least a century. It had businesses and property all over the world, and Spencer was the head of the family. But that wasn't all—he also cont

Spencer held Lucille's hand as they entered the courtyard. They walked along a long corridor before coming to a suite with a redwood plaque above the entrance. The words "Tranquility Court" were carved on it.Spencer explained, "This is where Grandpa stays. There are three suites in Layton Manor. My parents and brother live in one of the others, while the last is mine."Lucille understood now. She asked curiously, "What are the other two called?""Harmony Court and Serenity Court," Spencer answered."They sound so peaceful and poetic," she said."Yeah."She liked the names. As they entered Tranquility Court, they were greeted by an abundance of flora. They provided a soothing view.The butler and a few maids stood in the courtyard. When they saw Spencer and Lucille, the butler called, "Mr. Spencer is back!""This is Arthur Hall, the butler. Hi, Arthur," Spencer said as he looked at Arthur.Lucille greeted, "It's nice to meet you, Arthur."Arthur beamed and nodded vigorously.

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
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 697
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
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 696
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
