Spencer frowned. He had a grasp on Taylor's every move, but certain spontaneous events were beyond his control. This was one of them.

He'd kept Taylor around so far because he still had use for the latter, but Taylor had turned out to be a ticking time bomb!

Ethan and Zachary saw the murderous intent on Spencer's usually aloof face. His eyes were dark with menace and as cold as ice. Ethan asked, "He's not going to pull the explosion move again, is he?"

Taylor was a little smarter this time. Instead of using his own men, he'd hired someone else to do the job.

He was also the one who'd talked Yves into doing what he'd done before. Ultimately, he was the cause of everything that had happened. This time, he was even trying to harm Lucille.

"No, something's not right. He wouldn't be rash enough to pull something like this at this juncture, would he?" Zachary said. "He's already bided his time for so many years. Why has he suddenly lost control and hired someone to do this in Whiteloo

    The dim lights in the tunnel shone down on the cars, and the shadows from the speeding vehicles stretched out on the walls. The roaring of the engines as the cars sped along the tunnel was deafening. It made one's ears pound and heart race.The lights illuminated Lucille's overly calm face. To outsiders, she seemed trapped in a situation where she faced danger from all directions. However, what they didn't know was that she was a pro at turning the tables. She was a proud woman who would never fear adversity.The vehicles in the tunnel showed no sign of slowing or stopping. It was evident Lucille's car was their target.She glanced at the cars behind her and the ones coming at her from the front. A plan quickly formed in her mind.No one could see the look on her face inside the dark car. Her lips curved into a smirk as she forged ahead.Just as everyone thought the cars would ram right into the Mercedes-Benz G Class, they saw something unbelievable happen."Fuck!""H-Her car… I

    "I didn't expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve, Mrs. Layton. Good on you," Dexter forced through gritted teeth. Then, he sneered and continued, "Don't forget that your grandmother is still in my hands, though.""Cut the crap," Lucille said coldly. "Let's make a deal. Let my grandmother go, and I'll go with you. I'm the one you want, anyway."She wouldn't tell him she would only go with him if he could catch her. She unbuckled her seatbelt as she spoke and got out of the car.This caught Dexter off guard. Would she really come with him so easily?"What? Lost your nerve?" Lucille knew how to push Dexter's buttons. "Don't tell me you're afraid of a woman when you have a group of men with you."Dexter wasn't the type who handled provocation well. No one had ever dared to challenge him to his face like that. He looked up at Lucille, who was already standing by her car.He'd seen photos of her before—his first impression was that she was beautiful. What he didn't expect was

    Dexter said, "Do you think the Layton family will dare offend the people of Nocturne for your sake? Your husband is just some small fry from one of the Layton family's branches. Do you think he'd dare go against us? How ridiculous!"Lucille frowned. Dexter and his men were from Nocturne? This meant Taylor hadn't deployed his own men for this. She sneered at Dexter's words. It turned out he had no idea Spencer was her husband.Initially, she thought Dexter knew her identity when he addressed her as Mrs. Layton. She even thought he had some nerve for daring to threaten her despite knowing who she was.It turned out he thought Spencer was from one of the Layton family's branches. It seemed Taylor hadn't been truthful with the mercenaries he'd hired."It turns out you guys aren't just cowards—you're idiots, too," Lucille mocked with a smirk.Dexter couldn't stand her repeated provocation. Meanwhile, Tobias and Draco silently approached from behind while Dexter and his men were distrac

    "What?" Dexter was baffled. How could Lucille address Hunter by name like that?She looked away from him and clucked her tongue. Then, she mocked, "I didn't expect Hunter to have men who were all brawns and no brain."Dexter was distracted by her words. He snapped back to his senses and was about to tell her to shut up when he felt something press against his waist. Before he could move, Lucille said icily, "I'd advise you not to do anything rash. You'll be dead meat if I accidentally pull the trigger."He looked down and saw a golden handgun pressed to his waist. He recognized it—it was a Desert Eagle. No, it couldn't be. How could she know how to use a gun? And a golden Desert Eagle at that, too.Lucille didn't miss the doubt in his eyes. She said, "You can choose not to believe me. Why don't you try me and see whether this is the real deal?"She smiled, but her gaze was icy. "It's been a while since my gun's seen blood, and it doesn't mind breaking its drought today. Do you wan

    Spencer received a call from Eric while in the helicopter. "Hey, Dad. What? When?"His expression darkened, and his demeanor turned frosty. Ethan and Zachary immediately realized something was wrong.Spencer said, "Leave it to me, Dad."An hour ago, Lila had gone missing. She'd met up with a friend that morning and was supposed to return by 3:30 pm but had yet to come home despite it being almost 4:00 pm.She hadn't even bothered calling, which had struck Eric as odd. He'd called her, but neither she nor the driver could be reached.So, he'd called Lila's friend. The latter told him they'd gone their separate ways at 2:30 pm. Only then did Eric realize something was wrong.He knew Lila like the back of his hand. Even if she had other things to attend to, she would've told him that she'd be out later than expected. There was no way she would ignore his calls. So, Eric had asked someone to check the surveillance cameras.From the surveillance footage, it was clear that Lila had go

    Lucille fired at the tunnel's ceiling. The sound reverberated throughout the tunnel. Then, she swiftly aimed her gun at the ground and fired it.This stunned everyone, including Dexter. Those who'd doubted Lucille earlier now knew that she wouldn't hesitate to fire.One of Dexter's men shouted, "They're at the tunnel's exit!"Lucille frowned at that. Then, she told Tobias, "Let's head to the tunnel's exit. Take him with us."Tobias replied, "Yes, Ms. Lucille."Dexter was in their hands, so his men could only stand there and watch as they took him away. Lucille drove while Tobias sat in the back with Dexter."Aren't we going to do anything about Dex, Loco?" a man asked another man with a crew cut.Loco was the man who'd earlier answered Lucille's question. "Mettle and the others are at the exit. She's not getting anywhere."His eyes glinted slyly. "Knock the cars aside. We have to go after them."Meanwhile, in Lucille's car, Dexter suppressed the pain from his broken ankle and

    After Lucille hung up, Dexter turned to Tobias and asked, "Who was the Spencer she mentioned?"Tobias knew Lucille was already married, of course. He rolled his eyes at Dexter. "How many people do you think have the name Spencer Layton? He's the man you're thinking of, dude. Spencer Layton, the head of the Layton family."He nodded at Lucille. "She's his lawfully wedded wife."His words made Dexter feel like a bomb had detonated in his mind. His head and ears buzzed, and his voice was shaky as he mumbled, "But… that person told me she was from one of the Layton family's other branches…"He raised his head. Even in the dim lighting, it was clear his forehead was covered in sweat. Some drops of sweat even trickled down the sides of his face. There was no telling whether the sweat had formed due to his pain or due to his fear of offending someone he couldn't afford to offend.The longer he stared at Lucille, the more panicked he became. Only then did he recall her calling Hunter by h

    Connor called Spencer. "Taylor's made a run for it."Spencer said coldly, "Find him, dead or alive.""Got it."…Meanwhile, Taylor sat in a room in an underground base. He was watching the screens before him with relish. One showed Connor arriving at his villa with a few people and coming back out shortly after. The other showed the inside of a car, where Lila sat.Her hands and legs were bound, and her mouth was taped shut. She looked a little disheveled, but her expression was relatively calm.Taylor couldn't help smiling menacingly at the sight. It was disgusting. He hadn't abducted Lila to threaten Lucille. No, it was because he wanted Spencer to lose the two most important women in his life.Once a person had a weakness, it was easy to use it against them. Even if Taylor ultimately lost the fight for the Layton family, he wouldn't allow Spencer to have a happily ever after. He wanted the latter to spend the rest of his life in hatred and anguish.Spencer thought he could

    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
