Marie said cheerily, "No, Lucy didn't tell me any jokes. She told me a piece of good news, though."

Casey looked at her curiously. "Oh? What is it?"

She remembered that Lucille had just called off her engagement to Harold. Where had the good news come from?

She frowned and asked, "Didn't Ms. Lucy already call off the engagement with the Quall family?"

Marie scowled at the mention of the Quall family. She snorted and said, "What right do they have to have my precious granddaughter as a daughter-in-law? They're unworthy of her."

Casey smiled and said, "Yes, of course. They're beneath her."

She knew that Marie had never liked Harold. After all, even if he had good looks, he'd been was blind enough to fall for someone like Sabrina.

"Ms. Lucy is so pretty, smart, and kind. A family as materialistic as the Qualls is most definitely not worthy of her. She deserves so much better."

Marie nodded. "Yes, Lucy deserves someone better. That's why the Layton chap is the perfect candidate."

    Sabrina looked so gentle and hesitant that anyone would want to protect her. It also happened to be the best weapon in her arsenal.Lorelei turned to Lucille and snapped, "Listen up, Lucille. Harry loves Sabrina, so you should forget about being with him and stop trying to ruin their relationship. If you don't, I'll teach you a lesson every time I see you."Lucille looked at her like she was a maniac. At the same time, Sabrina lowered her head as a trace of smugness flashed past her eyes.Suddenly, Lorelei switched tacks. She looked at Lucille with the haughtiness that only a spoiled daughter of an affluent family could have and sneered. "How can someone like you come to Zaytun Pavilion?""What's wrong with that? Everyone can come here, right? Why not me?" Lucille smiled coldly.Lorelei wanted to retort with a slew of curses, but she suddenly got an idea. It had always been tough to get a private room at Zaytun Pavilion—she and Sabrina were only there that night because Harold h

    The Kingston Room was located on the top floor of Zaytun Pavilion, which had six floors in total. The room took up the whole of the sixth floor, and guests were only allowed in after getting through a facial recognition scan. The general public couldn't even get up there.As Lorelei thought of ways to humiliate Lucille, the latter had already entered the Kingston Room. She took off her coat and bag and put them on the storage shelf nearby as she said, "I'm sorry for being late, Grandma."She wore a fitting white sweater, tight black pants that showed off her long legs, and casual boots—today was a day for a smart casual outfit.Marie and Spencer had been chatting away when they heard her. They looked in her direction, and Marie said, "Have you not been eating properly again, kiddo? Why have you lost weight?"Casey disagreed. She felt like Lucille looked more spirited than before. Lucille looked at her and smiled. "Ms. Grant."Casey nodded. "Hi, Ms. Lucy."Lucille sat beside Mar

    "Damn it. The bitch must've run away!" Lorelei snapped.Sabrina was also disappointed. She'd been hoping to act lovey-dovey with Harold before Lucille's eyes. It looked like it wouldn't happen. Still, she pretended to console Lorelei. "Forget it, Lorelei. Lucille's my sister, after all. Don't be mad, okay? How about I go shopping with you tomorrow? I heard Silverstar Mall's just brought in the latest season's bags."Lorelei was immediately distracted by that. She forgot all about Lucille—it was evident bags were the way to her heart.After a while, Harold, who wore a navy suit, entered the room. Sabrina's eyes lit up when she saw him, and they looked at each other lovingly. He was tall, handsome, and gentlemanly. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love as he looked at Sabrina.Lorelei couldn't help getting goosebumps at the sight.Harold sat beside Sabrina and held her hand. He said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I was with a client earlier."She said understandingly, "It

    "W-What is it?" Lucille asked tentatively. She couldn't bring herself to show her usual dominance around Spencer."I wanted to talk about what Grandma mentioned earlier," he said.She pretended not to understand him. "Oh? Did she say anything?"He narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at her. Lucille immediately lost her nerve but still didn't say anything.Spencer didn't think he'd hear her bring the topic up, so he said, "Grandma wants great-grandchildren.""Oh.""Oh?" He stared at her for a while before saying domineeringly, "We can't have children without you being a willing participant, so either you move into Sparrow Residence tomorrow, or I'll move into Orchidstone Garden."We can take the opportunity to get to know each other better. That's the only way we can make Grandma's wish come true."Lucille asked, "Can I—"She wanted to ask whether she could say no. Spencer cut her off and said, "No objections because I can't wait any longer!"Lucille fell silent. She co

    The following day, when Lucille had just arrived at the office, Samuel rushed into her office without even knocking on the door.Lucille saw the sweat on his forehead and narrowed her eyes, asking, "What's wrong?""Ms. Johnson, a customer has reported that our new Timeless series has chemical ingredients that have caused skin redness and swelling in some users. "I just got the news and had our PR team suppress it for now. But if this leaks, we could face a lot of refund requests," Samuel said, speaking quickly and succinctly.Hearing this, Lucille narrowed her eyes and glanced at the computer screen, which displayed a webpage."It's too late," she said.Samuel looked confused and glanced at Lucille's computer. There was an article titled "Breaking News! Star&Ciel Group's Starbright Scents Contains Chemicals!"Lucille casually scrolled through the article and noticed it was quickly gaining traction. Below it, the comments section was filled with insults and voices of condemnatio

    "Ms. Johnson, every batch of perfume we produce follows your exact formula and undergoes strict testing. There are absolutely no issues," said Kenneth Wright, the manager of the lab.Lucille already knew there were no problems. After all, she had carefully selected the team at the lab."Yes, I know," she said calmly.Samuel and Kenneth were puzzled. What did she mean by she knew?"Ms. Johnson, do you mean the problem lies with the victims?" Samuel was the first to catch on.Kenneth also understood and, with a look of sudden realization, said, "Yes, that's it. If it was an issue with our products, there would be more than just a few victims, and it wouldn't be so sudden. There must be someone behind this."Lucille turned to Samuel and asked, "Did you find them?"Just then, one of the secretaries, Monica Lawrence, came in. She said, "Ms. Johnson, the people Mr. Sawyer asked us to find are here. They're waiting in the conference room."Lucille propped her chin with one hand, ponde

    "You... you... what do you mean?"Lucille looked at them calmly. "I mean, you either tell us who's behind this or you go to the police. Your choice."The five women felt completely overwhelmed by Lucille's imposing presence. After all, they were just college students. They found it hard to withstand the intimidating vibe that Lucille exuded.Moreover, they had been assured that the situation wouldn't escalate.Still, one of them spoke up bravely. "Don't you dare try to intimidate us. Your product is the problem. We only want compensation."Lucille raised an eyebrow, observing the college girl with a critical gaze. "She's not dumb, but why is she being so simple-minded?" Lucille thought."If our product is the problem, why are only the five of you affected? It's been almost an hour, and no new victims have come forward. "You're not children; you're college students. You should have the sense to see that this doesn't add up."Since you're still students, I'll be lenient if you c

    "What's he proud of? It's Ms. Johnson, not him!" Kenneth thought.Meanwhile, Lucille returned to her office. She clicked on an icon on her desktop that wasn't visible to others. Then, she quickly typed a long string of symbols that no one else could understand. The screen flashed with lines of code and numbers.Her slender, white fingers flew over the keyboard. The screen flashed images too fast to see, but Lucille understood everything clearly.Five minutes later, she smirked and said coldly, "Did you think you'd be able to erase your tracks and I wouldn't be able to find you?"Samuel had just finished dealing with the situation and was at the elevator when he met Bailey. "Ms. Moore, what brings you here?"Bailey looked worried. "I saw the news about the company. Where's Lucy?"Samuel replied, "Ms. Johnson is in her office. We're close to solving it. The women who posted the videos are college students who were tricked. We just don't know who's behind it yet."As he finished

    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
