At Creekside Villa No. 3, Eunice had been waiting for Lucille and Bailey. When she heard a car driving through the garden, she quickly got up and opened the door.Eunice was overjoyed to see Bailey and Lucille get out of the car. She'd been so bored staying there alone.In the living room, Bailey observed the villa, which could only be described as massive.Eunice felt like a burden and was rather embarrassed when she saw Lucille. After all, the latter had first offered to let Eunice stay at her apartment and now her villa."Just settle in comfortably, Eunie. I want you to be happy and safe while you have my godchild." Although Lucille was usually aloof, she perceptively saw through Eunice and effectively persuaded her with a different approach. Bailey stared at Eunice's bump, saying, "Well, I'm not as extravagant as your godmother. Maybe I'll take you to a five-star restaurant once you come to this world."The three ladies chatted about the baby. They could tell Eunice had expe
As soon as Spencer entered his office, he asked, "Did you come to have lunch with me, Ian?"Ian crossed his legs and leaned against the couch, his posture lazy yet carefree. However, his expression was as dark as ink, and his gaze exuded extreme coldness.Spencer naturally ignored that and strode toward his desk. Then, he sat down and looked at Ian with a faint smile.Ian narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "You've got some nerve to ask me that."Crossing his legs, Spencer intertwined his fingers before his chest and feigned ignorance. "What's wrong? You still haven't found Eunice?"Ian pursed his lips and used the same tone as him. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you know the answer to that best?" In a battle of wits, the smart ones would either cut straight to the heart of the issue or feign ignorance while knowing the exact truth.Spencer calmly replied, "I thought you knew I'm only interested in my wife." He implied that he had no concerns regarding Eunice's business.Ian wa
Mack arrived outside the office and was ready to knock on the door when it swung open, letting a breeze of cold air out. Caught in a daze, he swiftly made way for the person leaving the office."Mr. Moore, how…" He was about to say more but shut his mouth when he was met with a chilling, harsh gaze.Subsequently, Ian strode off and left. Mack hesitated about whether to follow him and see him to the elevator. In the end, he decided against it to save himself from Ian's wrath.At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what Spencer had done to anger Ian. He waited a few seconds before entering the office and closing the door. "Boss."He saw Spencer seated in his office chair. The latter's demeanor was calm and dignified, marked by his usual aloofness, which created a striking contrast to Ian earlier."What's up?" Spencer looked up at him.Mack instantly turned solemn. "Boss, we tried our best but couldn't locate Zing. The base can't wait any longer."Spencer contemplated briefl
Spencer asked, "Who are you with at the cafe?"Lucille could already imagine the look on his face as he typed those words out. It was a simple question, but it was enough to convey his feelings.A hint of slyness flitted past her eyes, and she answered, "With someone who can make you jealous."As soon as she sent that, he replied, "Who is it?"The dominance in this question was evident. At the same time, Sabrina's voice fell on Lucille's ears. She looked up at Sabrina, her expression cold and uncaring. "Get to the point, please."Sabrina was incredulous when she saw how calm Lucille was. She ignored the warning in the latter's tone and said, "I said that I got into the finals of the International Perfumery Competition."Lucille merely said, "You just don't understand human language, do you? I'm not here to listen to you spout nonsense. Can you get that?"Sabrina felt humiliated. She thought Lucille would be surprised or resentful upon hearing the news, but the latter was so calm
Sabrina stopped beating around the bush. She'd already achieved her first goal in seeking Lucille out, anyway. She smiled creepily and said, "You've been trying to find out the truth about your mom's death, right? She didn't actually die of an illness."Lucille's expression remained calm when she heard that, but her gaze turned cold. Sabrina didn't want to go into detail on the matter. Instead, she continued, "If you want to know everything, come to this place at 2:00 pm tomorrow. Someone there will give you what you want."She pulled a piece of paper from her bag and placed it on the table. She warned, "Remember to be there alone."Lucille looked down at the paper and committed the address to memory. In the next second, Sabrina took the paper back and tore it up, throwing the pieces into a nearby trashcan. She knew Lucille had a good memory and wasn't worried the latter would forget.Meanwhile, Spencer couldn't sit still after not receiving a reply from Lucille. He called her;
Everyone realized who Lucille was when Spencer approached her. They sat at their seats, and their ears perked up as they prepared to enjoy a display of affection.The few times Spencer and Lucille had made the trending topics, they'd looked so sweet one could get diabetes by looking at them. More importantly, they looked so good together that they were almost celestial.As Spencer had approached them, Sabrina had subconsciously sat straighter, wanting to show off her best side. She tried to look as elegant and classy as possible.Unfortunately for her, Spencer hadn't even spared her a glance. Still, his earlier question to Lucille seemed to make him break away from his identity as the CEO of JM Corporation. He looked at Lucille with such tenderness, but his demeanor was cold."Nice to meet you, Mr. Layton. I'm—" Sabrina mustered the courage to greet Spencer.Before she could get any further, he shot her an icy look, making the rest of her sentence get stuck in her throat. She even
Lucille was full of surprises, though. She smiled and asked Spencer, "Would you choose between a sea of flowers or a lone rose, Mr. Layton?"He didn't even hesitate. "You're my only choice."The crowd felt like Lucille and Spencer oozed love and affection whenever they were together.Sabrina's jealousy and resentment bubbled to the surface, but she held herself back. Still, her hands, which were at her sides, clenched into fists. She clenched her jaw so tightly that it was trembling; she didn't realize this, though. Sometimes, no matter how good a person was at hiding their emotions, their body language would still belie how they felt.After that, she grabbed her bag and fled the scene, looking almost disheveled. She couldn't handle the embarrassment anymore.…Spencer and Lucille walked back to JM Corporation together. On the way, he kept holding her hand while Mack and Kent followed them silently.A few minutes ago, Spencer had just up and left the office without a word to t
Seamus stepped forward and said, "Mr. Connor is back, sir."When Lucille heard Spencer had a guest, she said, "I'll leave you to it. I'll just hang around somewhere."However, Spencer said, "No, you don't have to. You can stay and meet him. It's Connor, Uncle Sylvester's son."Connor Layton? Sylvester's son? So, Connor was Yves' older brother? He wasn't here to stand up for Yves, was he? Speaking of which, she hadn't heard anything about Yves since their last meeting.Spencer only needed to glance at her to know what she was thinking. He explained, "Connor's mother is Uncle Sylvester's first wife. It's been a long time since his last return."Lucille understood what he meant. She asked, "Are you older, or is he?""He's the same age as Seth." Spencer didn't release his grip on her hand as they headed to his office. When they entered, Lucille saw a man with a demeanor similar to Spencer's seated on the couch. So, this was what Connor looked like.Connor looked up and said, "Hi, Sp
