"Oh, and one more thing," Eunice said with a troubled expression. Bailey and Lucille stared at her, waiting for her to tell them. "I ran into one of my seniors recently. He knew I studied dancing in university, and the company he works for invested in a dance competition show. "The show is currently holding auditions for participants, so he asked me if I was interested. But I'm still considering if I should go." Bailey slammed her cup on the saucer and said, "Of course you should! Why shouldn't you participate? You must go!" She looked more invested than Eunice. In comparison, Lucille remained relatively calm. She was silent for a moment before she said, "It's up to you to decide. No one can force you if you don't want to go, as long as you don't regret it." Regret, huh? The word stirred some emotions in Eunice's heart. She had given up the first time. Would she give up this chance once again? In the years she'd been married to Ian, she'd had little to no social circle,
After entering the car, Lucille took out her phone and logged into an application. A chat page popped up on her phone, and she quickly typed a message before sending it. "Owen Murphy, 46, currently the forensic doctor in Whiteloop City CID, with over 20 years of experience. Check his recent status." The recipient quickly replied, "Roger that." Then, she received another message. "Lucy, we've got news about Martin McGregor, whom you asked us to look into. He'd recently contacted a guy named Wade Rodriguez, and his loans were paid off by someone named Karlos Perez. "Karlos is just an honest man from the rural area and has never had contact with Martin. But what's surprising is that Wade and Karlos are distant relatives, although they rarely contacted and only connected once. "We also find Wade's superior is someone named Jack Stewart, but the trail ends here. Jack is very cautious and generally leaves no traces behind." Lucille went over the web of relationships in her mind a
Lucille arrived at JM Corporation at 4:00 pm. Everyone in the building knew who she was. The employees at the front desk immediately greeted her warmly and respectfully when they saw her. "Hello, Mrs. Layton." To tell the truth, Lucille still wasn't used to this courtesy, but she had no choice but to get with it. She smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. You may proceed with your work. I'll go up myself." Then, she took Spencer's private elevator up the floors after scanning her thumbprint. The staff members of the CEO's office said Spencer was still in a meeting. So, Lucille waited for him in his office. She was also managing a company, but she wasn't as busy as Spencer, who was always in meetings, even during the weekends.Meanwhile, Samuel was working overtime at Star&Ciel Group, busy reviewing all kinds of reports. But Lucille had never liked working overtime. After all, she was efficient with her work. Feeling bored, she walked around Spencer's office. She saw a folde
"Mr. Seth, this lady is Mrs. Layton's friend," Herbert said. Seth raised a brow. Were all of Lucille's friends pretty ladies? Still, even though this woman had a cute face, her expression all but screamed, "Don't bother me." Yet, it somehow suited her. "Hello, lady," Seth greeted with a confident, handsome smile. But Mavis only rolled her eyes in disgust at him in return. Herbert covered his face, unable to bear watching Seth get embarrassed. While Seth was fairly good-looking, he wasn't Mavis' cup of tea. What was worse was that she despised someone this laid-back and unserious. Seth silently stewed in disappointment. This was the first time a woman wasn't swayed by his looks. Not just that, but she'd even rolled her eyes at him.Not giving up, Seth smiled and asked, "Hey lady, are you here to look for me—" "What is your problem?" Mavis interrupted him in annoyance as her brows furrowed. "And what's with that lewd smile?" Seth was instantly at a loss for words as his
The netizens quickly started a boycott and tagged the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation.Silver Sky was making dirty money! Such businesses that harmed others should be wiped out once and for all. If the authorities didn't dismiss such illegal activities, more people would be affected, leading to more broken families.Operation as such had already violated the law. How terrifying was it that people still toy with people's lives in this day and age?Soon, the relevant authorities published a statement saying they would investigate the bar and give the general public an explanation. Within an hour after the scandal was revealed, the police dispatched forces to Silver Sky Bar & Lounge due to the seriousness of the case, which reportedly involved at least three lives.With a loud bang on the door, Jack frantically barged into a VIP room and went to Taylor's side, whispering in his ear. The kaleidoscopic lights flashed in the room, while the deafening music and
Faced with this sudden change of plans, Taylor had no way of minimizing his loss. In the end, Silver Sky Bar & Lounge was seized.That night, the authorities arrested a bunch of gamblers, solicitors of prostitution, and drug users with concrete evidence. The suspects were all caught off guard by the situation."Sir, the cops have taken all the suspects. Silver Sky has been seized," Jack reported the overall situation of the night.Due to the sudden arrival of the police, they'd been left with minimal time and had only been able to destroy all the important evidence. They hadn't had a chance to transfer the money. With the seizure of Silver Sky this time, they must've lost a few hundred million dollars.A loud crash sounded as the furious Taylor tossed his glass to the floor, shattering it into pieces. Then, he roared, "Fuck! Get me the name of the mastermind!"…Meanwhile, at Silver Sky Bar & Lounge, George, the leader of the operation, had received a call before he'd dispatche
Spencer was summoned back to Layton Manor after getting a call from there. An hour later, he left and returned to his car, asking, "Where's Lucille?"Mack answered, "Mrs. Layton has a meeting with someone at a cafe."Spencer looked at his expensive wristwatch, which showed almost noon. "Let's wait outside for her."After some hesitation, Mack nodded. "Yes, sir."…Amid the bustling commercial street stood a quiet cafe, where a man and a woman sat in the corner booth.Gabriel was displeased with the rendezvous point. "You could've just gone to headquarters. Why are we meeting here?"Lucille lowered her gaze as her slender finger rhythmically knocked against the armrest. "It's better if I don't." Since she was being tailed, she didn't want to expose her identity by visiting there."Is someone following you?" Gabriel cleverly understood her. After all, he was a chief.She responded in agreement and looked up at him, a hint of laziness in her gaze. Then, she asked, "Why did you as
Spencer was actually kissing her!Across from the street, Gabriel had just gotten into his car when he looked up and saw such a public display of affection. He couldn't help but smile and think, "Boss is so open-minded now."He calmly fished out his phone and zoomed in on the couple to snap a photo. Then, with smooth movements, he opened WhatsApp and scrolled down to a group chat before sending the photo with the caption, "Your goddess is busy with her man and has no time to visit you guys."With that, he tossed his phone aside and drove off, disregarding the messages in the group chat and what the people were moaning about.Meanwhile, Lucille could feel her knees go weak in the middle of the kiss. How ironic was it that she could face more than 20 killers without any fear yet feel her limbs weaken when kissing Spencer?His kiss was enticing and flirtatious, prompting her to slide her hands underneath his suit and grab his shirt.Sitting in the driver's seat, Mack glanced outside
