Lucille followed Spencer to JM Corporation after lunch. They went into his office and sat on the couch.

Spencer sat beside Lucille and habitually patted her head, playing with her hair. Her hair quality was excellent—it was dark, smooth, shiny, and soft, with a delicate fragrance of gardenias.

"Who made you angry earlier?" Spencer asked.

Lucille took a deep breath before briefly explaining what Robert had called her for without bringing up Corey.

Aaron rushed to Whiteloop City and reported to Lucille that night. "Hello, Lucy. What did you need me for?"

Lucille replied, "I need you to be around Jessica, but don't let anyone notice you. If something happens, report it to me immediately."

Given what happened today, she had a feeling it wouldn't just end like this. But she couldn't keep an eye on Jessica all the time, and she didn't trust anyone else to look after the latter.

While she'd already had one of her subordinates, Mavis Dylon, transferred here, it would take the

    At 2:00 pm, George sent Martin's autopsy to Lucille along with a text that read, "The forensic doctor confirmed Martin died of a heart attack. He did have cardiovascular disease, and we found relevant medication in his house." Lucille scanned through the report. She could understand the report, which stated Martin had indeed died of a sudden heart attack.After going through the report, she called George, and he quickly answered. "Who's the forensic doctor in charge of this?" Lucille asked. George furrowed his brows after hearing Lucille's question. But he quickly understood why she was asking. "He's a veteran on the forensic team. There's no way he'd make a mistake, right?" George lost the little confidence he had when he heard Lucille's question. Lucille replied without beating around the bush, "Give me his information."George remained silent for a moment before he said, "Sure. I'll send it to you later." "Thanks for your help, Mr. Lawton." After hanging up the phone,

    At 6:00 pm, a black Maybach drove into the underground parking lot of Silverstar Mall. "So, you wanted to bring me to the mall?" Lucille asked with her head tilted as she stared at Spencer. Spencer gazed at her and replied softly, "Yup. We're here to watch a movie." Lucille was surprised to hear that. A strange feeling stirred in her heart. This wasn't the first time they'd watched a movie together, as they'd watched movies a couple of times in the home theater at Sparrow Residence.However, this was their first time doing it in a cinema. Lucille was worried. "But what about your identity?" Spencer was too conspicuous. Before Spencer said anything, Mack explained, "Don't worry, Mrs. Layton. Not many would recognize boss." Although Spencer's name was well known, he maintained a relatively low profile and rarely appeared in public. Spencer clasped Lucille's hand tightly and said in a soothing voice, "Regardless of my identity, I'm still your husband. What's so weird ab

    Spencer's smile made the ladies beside them scream in glee. They said, "Good heavens! This guy's smile is so cute!" "Oh my God, what do I do? What do I do? I'm totally into this guy's looks! Somebody help me!" "That woman is so lucky! His eyes are filled with adoration when he looks at her!" "Man, I'm so jealous just by looking at their interactions." Looking at Spencer, who was grabbing passersby's attention, Lucille thought "cute" wasn't really suitable to describe her 28-year-old husband. She smiled mischievously and whispered in sarcasm, "Hey, cute guy, you should stop smiling. I'm scared the security guards might kick you out of here." Spencer was a little stunned when he heard Lucille softly calling him "cute guy".As they were sitting very close to each other, he tilted his head a little and leaned to her ear before whispering in a low, magnetic tone, "I do enjoy the attention when I'm with you, Mrs. Layton, but I enjoy it more when we're back home." What did he

    After the movie, Spencer took Lucille to a fast-food chain in the mall. The two had no intention of checking their phones, so they had no idea what was happening online. Photos of them entering the restaurant while holding hands once again circulated online, gaining a lot of likes. People even started to talk excitedly about the possibility of having a chance encounter with them. "Damn, can I have a chance encounter with them?" "Dude, same!" "LOL, the manager should pay them some advertising fees." "The boss: 'I've never seen so many customers since I started this restaurant.'" Mack and Bethany, who were still awaiting orders in the car, didn't even need any special surveillance tech to monitor Spencer and Lucille's whereabouts. After all, the netizens were updating them on the couple's whereabouts live. "Should we go up and stand by? I'm worried it might go out of control if there's a crowd," Bethany muttered. The two kept their phones aside and got out of the car.

    After dinner, Lucille and Spencer went back to their car. Only then did Mack show them the photos of them at the cinema and restaurant and tell them how they'd gone viral online. Spencer took out his phone and looked at the photos before saving one of them. He then said with a low voice, "No need to take them down. As long as there are no harsh comments, just leave them be." Mack was relieved. Luckily, he hadn't taken it upon himself to remove the photos. "Yes, sir." Then, Spencer remembered one of the comments he'd seen and said, "Have the PR department post a statement later." While he didn't make it clear, Mack, as his reliable assistant, wasn't for show, either. Having spent so many years with this ticking bomb, he'd have to leave if he couldn't get what Spencer needed."Understood, sir." After five minutes, JM Corporation's official account made a post on Twitter. "Thank you for all the attention all of you have given Mr. and Mrs. Layton. We'll stop taking up public

    The next morning was a cold winter day. It took courage and determination to wake up and get out of the warm comfort of bed on days like this.Since it was a Saturday, Lucille had been lounging in bed, refusing to get up. She'd even dragged Spencer to stay in bed with her. She snuggled her petite body comfortably in his warm embrace. She'd been woken once by Spencer at 6:00 am, but she'd quickly returned to sleep. She nuzzled her face in Spencer's chest and said, "What do I do? I don't want to leave the warmth of the Layton heater." Spencer rested his chin on her head as she hugged him and said in a low voice, "Well, I don't mind. I can stay with you until the end of the world. But Mom and Dad have been waiting downstairs." The words blew Lucille's mind. She looked up from Spencer's embrace. "What?"Lila and Eric had been there since early in the morning. However, they didn't become impatient despite the long wait. They'd seen the news and heard some rumors about what had b

    "You're Lucy's husband. How could you let her face such danger? What happened to your usual cleverness and strategic thinking? Aren't you always good at taking precautions? What's the point of having you if you can't even protect your own wife?" Lila scolded. "Keeping your wife safe is your top responsibility as a Layton man. But look at you! How could you allow such a dangerous thing to happen to Lucy right in front of your company? "You should be glad Lucy's safe. If something had happened to her—no. Touchwood. It should never happen! In any case, I don't want this to happen again, Spencer!" Lucille was petrified at Lila's sudden outburst. Spencer, however, let go of his usual pride and gladly accepted Lila's warning. Lucille pursed her lips before saying, "Mom, I—"But before she could finish, Lila shouted again, "Did you not hear me? Or are you mute? Can't you reply?" Hearing Lila's howl, Spencer furrowed his brows and grunted. His deep, pitch-black eyes seemed differe

    "Hey babe, was the date fun yesterday?" Bailey asked, bursting with curiosity and an urge to gossip as she stared intently at Lucille at the cafe. Lucille felt reluctant to entertain her question. Spencer had promised to spend time with her at home, but he'd received an urgent call and gone to the office. Coincidentally, Bailey had also asked her out, so here she was. Lucille had thought Bailey had something important to say. Who would've thought the latter was just interested in what happened yesterday and would ask all kinds of nonsensical questions? Bailey propped her chin on one hand as she looked at Lucille with sheer curiosity. After all, best friends had no secrets from each other. Lucille couldn't stand Bailey's burning desire for gossip. She took a sip of her coffee before replying, "I don't know what you mean by fun. But all I could say is that it felt… strange…" She stopped and lightly coughed. "Like the fluttery, heart-throbbing feeling of being a young girl in

    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
