After a two-day break, the film crew resumed their shooting schedule.The scenes that involved Claire needed to be reshot, but everyone was cooperative and had no complaints.Jessica's acting skills were obvious to all. The day she entered the crew, she nailed every scene in one take. Not only was she beautiful and kind-hearted, but she also didn't have a temper.She played a second female lead role who was a talkative person. There were tons of lines that she needed to memorize, yet she didn't make a single mistake. She was very good at memorizing lines.Everyone secretly praised her because she lived up to the expectation as an award-winning actress.When Sebastian saw Jessica in costume, he was stunned. He felt that she was the most suitable candidate.After Lucille finished her work, she came to the filming location to visit Jessica. She even rejected Spencer's invitation to a meal, just so she could visit Jessica.Jessica had just finished acting the first half of her scene
Spencer, who sat across Ethan, turned to look in his direction. It was indeed Lucille.It reminded Spencer about his conversation with Lucille on the phone an hour ago. She'd told him that she couldn't accompany him for lunch and that he needed to figure it out on his own because she had a meeting to attend.Spencer stared at the familiar figure and narrowed his eyes. This was what she meant by meeting? Meeting someone at a Marvonian restaurant? What a liar! Was it necessary for her to keep it a secret when she was just having a meal with a woman?Seated across from Spencer, Ethan and Zachary could clearly sense that something was off about him.It dawned on them why Spencer had decided to join them for lunch out of the blue.Ethan cocked his eyebrow and asked, "Spence, did Luce ditch you? Is that why you decided to join us for lunch?" Ever since Spencer had gotten married, he'd never taken the initiative to ask them out for a meal.Spencer retracted his gaze and looked at Etha
Lucille was even more puzzled when she saw Spencer looking sullen and quiet. However, she could sense that he was mad at her.She wondered if it had anything to do with her coming home late. But she'd texted him about it and told him that she'd be late.She just sat at the edge of the bed. Then, she blinked and stared at him before she asked, "Are you mad?"Looking calm and collected, Spencer frowned slightly and snorted. "No."Lucille was speechless. He'd said that he wasn't mad at her, and yet he'd snorted at her. She pursed her lips. Then, she smirked and said, "I didn't know you have a habit of lying through your teeth.""There's plenty that you don't know about." Spencer was feeling down and annoyed after being ignored for the past few days.Lucille cocked an eyebrow and noticed the annoyance in his tone. She quickly went through her recent activities in her mind. Apart from the usual work tasks, she'd been dealing with Claire's incident. One crucial piece of evidence was
After a while, Lucille was exhausted. When feelings were intense, they inevitably led to passionate moments, especially between an ordinary couple. There were traces of Lucille and Spencer's passionate moments in the bathtub and sink.They entwined in a passionate embrace as he diligently had his way with her. In the cold, dark night, their mingled moans could be heard in the room from time to time, and their sensual intimacy was shrouded in secrecy.…The next morning, when Seth was having his breakfast at the dining table, he secretly darted a glance at Spencer and Lucille, who sat across from him.Last night, Spencer had been in a bad mood. Seth secretly sneered when he noticed the former looked satisfied today. Then, he noticed the hickeys beneath Spencer's jawline. He clicked his tongue; it seemed like Spencer didn't even care if others noticed it.Next, he looked at Lucille, only to notice she'd covered every inch of her body and even worn a scarf for breakfast. Her conspi
After Lucille was done with her meeting in the morning, she took the initiative to look for Spencer so she could have lunch with him.Two years ago, she'd managed to save the almost bankrupt Star&Ciel Group that Jane had left her. Ever since then, the company's operations were back to normal, and it was even more stable than before.On the way to JM Corporation, Lucille thought about her life, which had been too calm, comfortable, and happy lately.After Jane's passing, Marie had been staying at a sanatorium, and Lucille had been on her own most of the time.Then, Spencer had recently appeared in her life. She had been living a happy and fulfilling life in the past three months because she finally had a family of her own. It was because of Spencer that she felt like she had a home again.As Lucille was lost in thought, she soon arrived at JM Corporation Tower. She parked the car at a parking spot near the curb.Just as she was about to unbuckle her seatbelt, she heard people scre
In the car, Bethany asked, "Mrs. Layton, where are we heading?" Lucille hurriedly said, "Let's go to the outskirts.""Okay." Bethany glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the truck was following closely behind them.On the road, everyone saw a limited edition luxury car being chased by an ordinary truck. They were driving at such a high speed that they could only see the vehicles passing by in a blur. Spencer's car was also following closely behind them.Lucille called Spencer in the car. Soon, he answered it. Then, she immediately said, "Honey, get someone to clear the road to the outskirts immediately."After she said that, she heard him repeat her words. Then, she heard him ask with concern, "Are you hurt?""No." She was touched and said in a low voice, "Don't worry."Spencer was relieved upon hearing that. Although he'd seen Lucille jump into Bethany's car, he hadn't been able to see the extent of her injuries."I'm behind you. Don't be afraid," Spencer said gently.Then
A row of police cars had appeared ahead, blocking the road. In those few seconds when Martin was distracted, Lucille made a U-turn and faced the truck that had been chasing them closely.Lucille sat in the driver seat, looking calm as she gripped the steering wheel. Startled, Bethany wondered what Lucille was going to do.Not far away, George and the others who were watching the scene unfold were baffled as well. Maverick asked in confusion, "Commander Lawton, what is she trying to do?The spike strips they'd placed were just 33 feet ahead.George frowned, and his expression darkened. "She's probably using herself as bait. She plans to dodge the truck just before it hits them, so the truck would run over the spike strips and be forced to stop."Maverick was slightly stunned. "But that requires skills. If she doesn't dodge in time, it's over. Besides, the road is too narrow."The scene was horrifying, looking like a battlefield but without any signs of war. George explained, "Th
Bethany was confused. Just as she turned to look at Lucille, she heard the sound of an accelerator being stepped on. Before she had the chance to react, her body suddenly tilted at a 90-degree angle.Then, she heard a loud screeching sound. As soon as the car landed, she jerked to the side. She felt like it was over before it even started, and all she felt was nervous, nothing more. Lucille was calm compared to Bethany. She unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Bethany. She patted the latter's shoulder and said with a faint smile, "Have some fondue tonight to relieve your shock."Bethany swallowed nervously. Feeling somewhat dazed, she nodded. "Okay." As soon as Lucille stepped out of the car, she was wrapped in a warm embrace, and a familiar scent hit her nose. Spencer hugged her tightly, as if trying to envelop her completely. It was the only way he could truly feel her.The moment he hugged her, she felt how stiff he was. It was as if the fear had made his body tense u
