A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 413
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

"None of our people were left alive. They were even disembodied," Connor said. He stopped there. Spencer's expression immediately darkened, and his gaze became frosty.To this day, Connor couldn't forget what he'd seen. Even if he was used to dabbling in both legal and illegal matters, he couldn't describe the cruelty he'd witnessed. Losing several million dollars worth of gold wasn't a small matter, but the worst part was the cruel treatment the men had experienced.He'd investigated the matter for several days but had failed to find anything besides what the coin represented. Rumor had it that whenever anyone from Echelon 103 carried out their missions, they would leave such a token behind to tell the world they were behind whatever had happened.Echelon 103's members were that obnoxious and wild, perhaps because they were vagabonds with nothing holding them back.Five years ago, someone mysterious had destroyed Base 103, making the organization disappear for five years. Everyo

After leaving Spencer's office, Lucille went to the lounge in the pantry. She'd only used Mack as an excuse to leave.She was worried about Echelon 103, which she'd heard Connor bring up before leaving the office. Why had it suddenly come up? It looked like she needed to look into the matter. No matter what was going on, she didn't want Spencer to have anything to do with the organization.She made a call, which took a while to be answered. Hunter sounded pissed on the other end of the line as he said, "Who the fuck are you, disturbing my sleep? Are you—"Lucille frowned and cut him off. "It's me."Hunter was immediately jolted out of his groggy state when he heard her voice. His eyes widened, and he sat up in bed. Then, he asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?""How's your investigation going?"Hunter knew what she was asking about. He ran a hand through his hair, feeling annoyed. Still, his tone and attitude remained relatively amicable. "It hasn't even been a week, boss. Would you
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 418
At the time, Lucille had answered without hesitation, "I'd take you to the hospital to get your head checked. Something's probably wrong with it somewhere."It was an answer that suited her personality. Later, she'd said seriously, "It's not a good thing to have feelings for me. I'm used to being alone, after all."How could Hunter not understand what she'd meant? She'd meant that she'd never reciprocate his feelings and that it was possible they would end up not even being able to remain friends.And so, he'd joked, "I was just kidding. Why are you taking me so seriously? I can't even stand you as a friend, let alone a lover. You're a magnet for trouble, and I hate trouble."After that, he'd never brought up the subject again.…Lucille had hung up on Hunter, but it wasn't because she was mad at him. She'd wanted to refute him, but he'd made a valid point. This matter with Echelon 103 was indeed troublesome, and she'd yet to think of the perfect strategy to deal with them.She

The car drove past an iron gate over six feet tall. Then, it pulled over at a parking lot that looked even bigger than seven or eight basketball courts combined.That was beside the point, though. The point was that there were two helicopters parked nearby. There was an image of something similar to a tiger on them, but it wasn't a tiger.Lucille couldn't help finding the image familiar. She seemed to remember someone showing it to her before but didn't get the chance to recall where she'd seen it before Spencer said, "We're here. Let's get down."He got out of the car and held out a hand to her. She placed her hand in his and got out. She looked around the place, noting that it didn't look like a place of residence or a tourist spot.Instead, it seemed like the secret base for an organization. There were barbed wires around the perimeter, and they were probably charged with electricity. There were also surveillance cameras at every corner.She turned to Spencer and raised an eyeb

Lucille fell silent. She wondered whether the problem really was that complex. "One more question, then. You guys don't know who damaged the microchip, right?"If they knew Zing was the one who'd damaged the microchip in the first place, they wouldn't be asking her to repair it. Who would be silly enough to ask the person who'd done the damage to fix it?Ethan asked, "Wait, how did you know that? You're right, though. We haven't managed to find out who did it."At his words, Lucille knew what she had to do. "Alright, then. Take me to the place. I'll see what I can do."She looked at Spencer, sounding as humble as could be. Spencer took her to the sixth floor, after which they passed through door after door, all of which looked high-tech.After around ten minutes, they arrived at a brightly lit area. Only one sound could be heard—the tapping on keyboards.There was a gigantic screen before them, which displayed a 3D map. Clusters of red dots flashed on the map.Each person sat be

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
