A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 455
Lucille had been frequently visiting JM Corporation recently. Spencer went to another meeting after lunch, leaving Lucille alone in his office. Mack entered after knocking on the door. "Mrs. Layton, here's the DNA report." He handed the documents to Lucille. She quickly opened the documents and read them. One of the documents was a paternity check between William and Renee's son, Andy Beech, which showed a 99.99% match, proving they were father and son. The other document was a paternity test result between Andy and Renee's husband, Edgar Beech, which showed the complete opposite result from the other report. "Oh, by the way, have Taylor and Sabrina been in touch recently?" Lucille asked. "Not at the moment," Mack replied. Lucille went silent as if pondering something."Alright. You may continue with your work," Lucille said. "Okay, Mrs. Layton." As Mack was leaving, Lucille called, "Wait, Mr. Wood."Mack turned around. "What is it, Mrs. Layton?" "Please arrange a

Lucille casually picked up her cup of cappuccino and took a sip out of it. She looked relaxed and content, giving the impression that she was there to enjoy the coffee. Taylor looked down at his side of the table, which was as empty as a blank paper, and remarked, "That's your courtesy of asking someone out, huh, Ms. Johnson?" Lucille glanced at Taylor through the rim of the cup. She put down the cup and slowly replied, "Excuse me, little Taylor? How audacious can you be to think I'll treat someone who is always trying to get rid of my husband to a cup of coffee?"Oh, little Taylor, have you heard of the idiom 'aphids eat grass, rust eats iron, and hypocrisy eats soul'?" Lucille continued, "It's okay if you haven't. You can look it up on the Internet when you get home." Lucille made it clear to Taylor that she didn't need to put on a mask of hypocrisy to talk to him, nor did she want to pander or flatter. She wanted an open and honest discussion. Taylor was at a loss for w

At Johnson Group, the secretary received a call from the front desk and immediately reported to William without delay. "Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Layton is here." It was mainly because Lucille's status was no longer what it used to be. She was now the wife of the business tycoon Spencer and the esteemed matriarch of the Layton family, known for its century-long heritage. "Who?" William thought he had misheard the secretary. Three minutes later, Lucille was escorted up with utmost respect. This wasn't the first time the people at Johnson Group saw Lucille, but they were always stunned when they saw her in person. As Lucille entered the office, she saw William sitting behind his desk and greeted him casually, "It's been a while, Mr. Johnson. How have you been?" Without waiting for William to reply, Lucille walked toward the couch and sat down without any restraint as if it was her own office. William couldn't stand her defiant arrogance, but he couldn't show it then. If it were b

"What do you mean?" William decided to play dumb until the very end. "I meant what I said," Lucille replied. "Considering your current status, you should get what I meant, Mr. Johnson. Didn't you already get it a moment ago?" Lucille gave a devilish, mischievous smile. "You better watch your mouth, Lucille!" William said. His expression was stern. Lucille brushed it off and said casually, "Oh, don't you worry about that, Mr. Johnson. This trouble wasn't of my own doing." She paused before continuing with a slowed pace of speech, "But it's yours, Mr. Johnson. Perhaps you've forgotten it because you're a busy man?" William grasped Lucille's words only in part, though he had a vague sense of the answer. But there was no way she would know about that. When he showed no intention to speak, she continued, "Mr. Johnson, I have the evidence with me today." William remained silent. Lucille took out a document folder and threw it on the table. She slightly tilted her head and ges

William said, "What are you talking about? The one that was cremated was your m—" "You'd better think about what you say carefully!" Lucille's cold voice interrupted, her gaze cold. Immediately, William felt frost blowing upon his face, leaving him frozen in place. Ever since Lucille had a fallout with the Johnson family, her intimidating pressure grew even stronger, to the point that even Horace feared it. Lucille gave a sudden smirk, carrying a hint of mischief. "Oh, by the way," Lucille slowly said. "I forgot to tell you that I had someone write me a program. At 5:00 pm…" Lucille gestured with her chin at the document on William's hand. "If I don't get the answer I want, everything in that document, along with any other compelling evidence, will be released on the Internet." "You bastard! How dare you threaten me? Did you forget that I'm your dad?" William had no idea how shameless he was for having the audacity to call himself Lucille's father. Nevertheless, she compl

This was the first time Spencer felt hesitant. Hesitation in negotiation was his greatest taboo, which was why he was always decisive. Whatever question came his way, he would always provide a pragmatic and factual answer. There was no such word as "hesitant" in his dictionary. But this time, he had met his match. Seeing Spencer not reply after a moment, Lucille asked, "Is that a hard question to answer?" Spencer went silent. He raised a brow before asking, "Do you want the truth or the lie?" Lucille was at a loss for words. Somehow, his question seemed to answer her question. Her heart sank a little. This was the first time Spencer had shown disdain for her. However, it wasn't entirely his fault. Even Lucille herself found her oily hair unbearable, let alone a germaphobe like Spencer. It was courageous of him to kiss her head without any hesitation. The sorrow in Lucille's eyes didn't escape Spencer, even when she had her head down. He suppressed his laughter as he looked

Spencer used to hate having his photos posted on the Internet, not even a side profile or a view from the back. But now, he wished someone could post photos of him with Lucille so that the media could share their loving moments. Mack and Kent found the sudden change in Spencer unbelievable. They thought that it was true that perspectives changed depending on someone's circumstance.At night, Lucille told Spencer about what happened earlier in the day with Taylor and William. Spencer quickly got what she was trying to say. "So you think Jane is still alive?" Lucille lay on the couch with her head on Spencer's lap. She looked up at him and nodded. She strongly believed in her assumption since this wasn't the first time she had the exact doubt. William's remarks opened Lucille's eyes, especially since the video showed someone everyone had overlooked. "If that's the case, what will you do?" Spencer looked down at Lucille, one hand resting on the armrest while the other caressed he

Spencer grabbed his phone and opened the text message. It was from the only pinned contact in his phone—his honey Lucille. "Honey, can I not be the lady of the Layton family?" There was also a crying emoji at the end. Spencer smiled helplessly before making a video call to Lucille. But she didn't answer it. Instead, she voice called him.Lucille said, "Honey, I can't take a video call now. I'm outside with Mom." "It's okay," Spencer replied. "Are you tired?" "Not just tired. I'm exhausted!" Lucille said without hesitation. She was speaking the truth. "Both physically and mentally." Hearing Lucille whine, Spencer chuckled. "Well, it's my fault you're physically exhausted. I should've held back a little last night. I'll make it up for you tonight." Lucille was speechless. "That's not what I meant. I'm exhausted because we've been out shopping for too long, and my legs are sore." Spencer rebutted, "But you're never exhausted when you're out shopping with your friends. Ult

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
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 696
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
