"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

    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.

    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

    "Sure. I'll cook for you tonight." Spencer wore a smile, while his tone was filled with affection and his gaze soft. For her, he could do everything she asked."Yay! Love you."Those words resembled electricity coursing through his veins, rendering him stiff and overwhelmed. Lucille, similarly stunned by her own words, couldn't believe she could speak this coquettishly.Regardless, she couldn't retract her words and simply brushed them off. It wasn't like anyone else had heard her anyway.At last, Spencer ended the call, saying he would pick her up in the evening. Pausing briefly, Lucille started the car and left the filming location.Then, she headed for the National Cybersecurity Command Center. To gain entry there, one would have to undergo three verification steps. First, they had to scan their special access card; second, they would go through a fingerprint scanner, and lastly, the facial recognition system.Only after completing all three steps could they enter the Nation

    It wasn't until 7:00 pm that Lucille had the chance to leave. She had been supposed to depart as soon as the matter had been resolved, but Gabriel, that geezer, had informed everyone of her return, which ended up holding her back for hours.Gabriel ignored her harsh gaze and cleared his throat. "It's late. Why don't you have dinner with us before you go?"Dinner? She suddenly remembered the dinner she'd discussed with Spencer and that he would pick her up in the evening. She immediately panicked. It was already 7:00 pm!Any devices would automatically have no cell service and network once within the vicinity of the National Cybersecurity Command Center.Gabriel watched as Lucille's expression went from one of anger to panic within seconds. What was going on?He was about to ask her what went wrong, but Lucille had bolted out of his sight. Indeed, she ran away. He perplexedly looked at her and saw her in a panic for the first time.After exiting the premises, Lucille saw plenty of

    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
