A while later, Herbert returned with a tall man in a black coat who bore a gentle and graceful yet mysterious expression. "This way, sir." Herbert extended his arm to show the way to the living room. "Mrs. Layton is waiting in the living room." Marley nodded courteously. Lucille was shocked to see Marley. She'd never expected him to visit her at Sparrow Residence. "Hi, Marl," Lucille greeted. Marley smiled warmly and nodded in return. He noticed Spencer sitting on the couch, who had a stoic expression and remained motionless, then smiled at him, too. Lucille's eyes darted between the two men before she lightly kicked at Spencer's leg, which was crossed. Spencer remained silent. He looked up and saw Lucille winking at him, which looked adorable. This was the third time he'd seen her make such sweet expressions at him. The whole scene unfolded before Marley. Without reservations, he casually sat on the couch across from them before looking up at Lucille. "It looks like I'd

After a while, Marley looked up at Lucille and said, "Something happened to Octavius." Lucille's eyes widened as the sparkle in them faded at the mention of Octavius Heldon. Her body trembled slightly. "Half a year ago, he came to my place. But he left on that same night and was attacked on his way back home," Marley said. "The trip he'd made was confidential, so he'd only brought two people—a driver and a bodyguard. But the opponent had over 20 people, each armed with weapons. "We only found the driver's and bodyguard's bodies when we rushed there, with no Octavius nowhere in sight. To this day, we haven't been able to find his whereabouts, nor can we tell if he's dead or alive.""The Heldon royal family covered up all the news about Octavius' disappearance. No one knows he's been missing to this day," Marley added. Lucille's expression dimmed to a terrifying extent at Marley's words. Her sparkling eyes were now covered in a layer of frost and darkness. She clenched her

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Many people celebrated New Year's Eve the same way—by spending quality time with family and friends. But to Lucille, New Year's Eve was slightly different this year. Spencer went to the office very early in the morning. Then, at noon, they went to Harmony Sanatorium to pick Marie up for lunch. They wanted to take Marie back to Layton Manor, but she refused, saying she was used to tranquility and just having lunch was enough. Luckily, Marie stayed relatively healthy, thanks to Casey's care. So, Lucille was relieved.Every time they met, Marie always kept an eye on Lucille's belly to see if there were any changes. Of course, Lucille knew Marie really wanted her to get pregnant, but…At 3:00 pm, Lucille and Spencer left for Layton Manor. "I saw Mom say in the group chat earlier that your aunt has returned this year." Lucille turned to say to Spencer as she checked her phone in the passenger seat. She knew Spence

Spencer threw Seth a cold and disgusted look, as if Seth were somewhat dispensable to him. This time, Seth had a keen sense of observation. He noticed that Spencer's handsome expression was sour and that his eyes were burning red in anger. "What's wrong, Spence? You don't look too well. Did you eat something bad recently? You should probably get Luke to have a look at you so that Lucille won't be worried." Seth asked out of his genuine care for his brother. But Spencer rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're such an idiot. No wonder you're still single today!" Seth looked at Spencer's handsome back with a saddened expression, wondering how he was an idiot. His IQ was at least 200! And what did he mean by "no wonder you're still single today"? It was because Seth wasn't interested in the first place!…Before Lucille entered the garden, she heard the laughter of different adults and the sounds of children playing. Lila noticed Lucille as soon as the latter arrived at the

James and Eric were playing chess in the garden while Lila and Yvonne were busy in the kitchen. Usually, during holidays, Lila would be cooking in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Seth and Spencer were left in the living room. Seth was casually checking his phone, whereas Spencer was seated on the couch with his legs crossed. His expression was grim, and he remained motionless like a statue. His pitch-black, abyss-like eyes were glaring at the silhouettes of an adult and a child outside the garden. His face was filled with annoyance and frustration. Feeling the sudden tension in the living room, Seth looked up and saw Spencer's handsome face etched with irritation. He then followed Spencer's line of sight and looked out at the garden. After thinking for a moment, Seth turned toward Spencer in curiosity. "Hey, Spence, don't tell me you're jealous of a 3-year-old kid, huh?" They had an over 20-year age gap with their cousin, Zane. They were in a completely different league and could

Lucille and Spencer finally returned to Layton Manor at 11:00 pm. Eric, Lila, Yvonne, and Seth were seated in the living room, while James was nowhere to be found. After all, he was old and couldn't stay up so late.While the others all said nothing seeing Lucille and Spencer returning this late, they all had a knowing and suggestive look in their eyes. Except for Seth, who was single, everyone present had once been young and gone through the same experience. They all knew exactly what happened to Lucille and Spencer with just a look at the two.Especially Lucille, whose eyes were so moist and reddish that it was clear that she'd just shed tears. Besides, her lips were slightly swollen, obviously the work for someone's passionate kiss. There was no way they'd believe Lucille and Spencer had just been kissing when they'd been gone for over two hours. Lucille felt a little embarrassed. She cleared her throat before greeting everyone, then sat on the couch with her head down.

Seth gulped. He wanted to say that he didn't even have any women around him. How could he mess with anyone? But, of course, he didn't dare to say anything. So, he just timidly nodded instead. …At 12:00 am, Spencer held Lucille's hand and took her to the balcony on the second floor. "Why did you bring me here?" Lucille asked curiously. Suddenly, she heard some rustling noises as fireworks colored the sky bright red, quickly turning the night sky into a sea of fireworks. The rapidly changing fireworks bloomed in the sky with exquisite, colorful patterns, creating a breathtaking scene. Once the fireworks had blossomed, they looked like gemstones embedded in the night sky for a moment before slowly descending like a shimmering waterfall of stardust. Spencer stood beside Lucille as she looked up at the blooming, vibrant fireworks with a smile on her face.He, on the other hand, gazed down at her eyes, seeing the vivid fireworks sparkling in the sky reflected in them falling

After hanging up the call, Eunice explained what had happened to Lucille and Bailey in their group chat. Soon, Bailey came up with an idea. "How about we frame Uncle Ian having an affair? Then, Eunie will have a reason to divorce him." Lucille was with Spencer at the moment. She wasn't concerned about him being there, so she played Bailey's voice message without hesitation. Bailey's morally dubious plan was broadcast into Lucille and Spencer's ears.At the time, Lucille was taking a sip of water and was taken aback when she heard Bailey's idea. Spencer, too, looked at her with a raised brow. Lucille noticed him looking and asked, "Do you think that would work?" She'd asked out of curiosity. After all, Spencer and Ian were close friends. Spencer would probably have a better idea of how likely Ian was to be deceived.Spencer went silent. For a moment, he didn't understand what was going on in Bailey's mind.He then concluded that women were terrifying for thinking of such un

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
