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
While Spencer and Lucille were having their meal, Mack received a call from the PR department."Mr. Wood, we have just intercepted some photos of Mr. Layton. Should we release or take them down?" The PR department was careful with their decisions.After contemplation, Mack said, "Release them. But remember to moderate the comment section to ensure no malicious speculation.""I got it."Soon, Spencer and Lucille's phones on the table rang and vibrated with countless notifications.Confused, Lucille wanted to check her phone but was stopped by Spencer. "Let's eat. Nothing is more important than finishing our meal," he said before placing her phone on his side.Meanwhile, Bailey had been waiting for Lucille's reply for more than 30 minutes. When the latter finally checked her phone, she was baffled to see the red number on her WhatsApp icon, which indicated how many calls and messages she had. What was going on?Once she opened it, she saw that most of her messages were from Baile
George was jolted awake from his dream and straightened his back on the chair."Commander Lawton, you're awake. Just in time for breakfast." Maverick placed a cup of coffee and a box of sandwiches on George's desk."Where's Jacobson?"Maverick responded, "Oh, he's having breakfast.""Who sent it to him?""I did. Don't worry, Commander Lawton."It was only then that George eased his anxiety. He had just woken up from a dream where Damian had experienced a strange death. Yesterday, he'd asked for Damian's health report, confirming that the latter had no illnesses.Regardless, the way Damian had admitted to all charges had left George suspicious and anxious. He had no choice but to raise his guard until he'd safely transferred Damian to Prison 167 of Whiteloop City.Just as he thought the most secure place would be the prison, he was proven wrong. Three days later, in the early hours of the day of his preliminary hearing, Damian became a victim of a group fight that broke out in t
