"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."

    Lucille looked around and saw a surveillance camera not far away. She said calmly, "Taking the main road would alert him."Bailey also noticed the camera and realized there were no cameras in the alleys they had just navigated through. She admired Lucille's attention to detail and caution.At this moment, they stood in front of a building with only one resident on the top floor.Despite the daylight, the room inside was very dark. All the windows had heavy curtains blocking out the light. There was only a single warm yellow lamp and a computer on a desk casting a blue glow.It was as if vampires who shunned the light lived inside.A disheveled man lay on the living room couch with one hand behind his head and the other holding a phone. He was scrolling through the news about the Star&Ciel Group's Starbright Scents perfumes.The phone's light reflected on his gaunt face, making his dark circles and bloodshot eyes look even more eerie.He grinned maliciously and muttered through g

    After Larry finished laughing, his piercing, murderous gaze fixed on Lucille, as if he wished he could bore two bloody holes into her with his stare."You want to know why? Why don't you ask yourself what you did?" Larry snarled, his gaze filled with rage.Lucille narrowed her eyes coldly and asked, "Just because of her?"Larry erupted, "Lucille, you shouldn't have offended her! You hurt her! She almost died because of you!"Bailey understood then. Larry was doing this for Sabrina, that goody-two-shoes."Larry, are you out of your mind?" Bailey snapped."Sabrina is a phony, goody-two-shoes, and she's not about to drop dead any time soon. She's alive and kicking, isn't she? "And let's be honest, she dug her own grave with this one. Lucille didn't force her into anything! If Sabrina died, she'd only have herself to blame."Bailey was exasperated. How could Larry be so blind to Sabrina's true nature?"Shut up! You have no right to talk about her like that!" Larry shouted, pointi

    Lying motionless on the floor, Larry suddenly laughed bitterly. His vacant eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his cheeks.Bailey glanced at him silently.In fact, they'd been high school classmates with Larry. Although it had been many years since they'd last saw each other, she still remembered him vividly.Larry had been one of the top students in their class and had always been praised by teachers for his bright future. Yet, he had ruined it all himself.Bailey lamented, "Larry, it's been years, and Sabrina is living the high life. She's about to become Harold's wife. And you? You've got nothing! You're living in the shadows."Larry had thought about that many times, but there was no turning back now. He used to be a good student. In his senior year, he made two big mistakes.One day, Sabrina had asked him to help her convince Lucille to meet her in the storage room behind the school. She'd said she wanted to talk to Lucille and make amends.Everyone knew that the two wer

    "What about Sabrina? Are we just letting her off the hook? Even if it looks like Larry did all this, Sabrina must have had a hand in it," Bailey said, clearly annoyed. Sabrina never seemed to stop causing trouble.Lucille was silent for a moment as she pondered the situation. "Sabrina will reap what she's sown," she finally said....Meanwhile, at the Johnson residence, Sabrina was getting more and more upset. It had been less than a day, but Lucille had already sorted out the issue.Sabrina was disappointed in Larry. She tried calling him, but he didn't answer.Once again, Lucille had foiled Sabrina's plans. Even though Sabrina was annoyed by it, she couldn't do anything about it.As she thought about the man who had been with Lucille yesterday, Sabrina's frustration deepened even further....Since Bailey was with Lucille today, Lucille didn't have lunch with Spencer.At 4:00 pm, Bailey dragged Lucille out shopping. It had been a while since they had done that.They went to

    Bailey didn't want to argue with them and ruin her mood. "Babe, let's try the ring. Ignore them."Lucille remained calm as she watched them from the sidelines.Bailey turned around, quickly picked up the bride's ring, and slipped it onto Lucille's left ring finger.Lucille was taken aback by the sudden action.The sales assistant's eyes lit up when she saw that the ring fit perfectly. It was as if she couldn't believe someone had actually put the ring on."Wow, it fits perfectly, and it looks great on you!" Bailey admired Lucille's hand. The ring fit just right.Lucille thought the same but wondered if the groom's ring would fit Spencer. She felt an urge to see Spencer wearing the matching ring because his hands looked so nice.Seeing that they were being ignored, Lorelei's frustration grew. Her sharp, mocking voice cut through the air. "You don't even have a boyfriend. And you think you can afford these?"Bailey and Lucille continued to ignore her and didn't even glance her wa

    Within a minute, the sales assistant returned with a forced smile.Lorelei's voice oozed with arrogance as she asked, "Is it done?""Sorry, ma'am, but your card has insufficient funds."Lorelei was stunned. Then, she retorted, "Impossible! I have over two million dollars on this card."The sales assistant politely explained, "Ma'am, this pair of rings cost 8.88 million dollars.""What? What kind of rings cost that much?" Lorelei shouted, losing her composure.Sabrina was also taken aback by the price."Ma'am, these rings were designed by the famous international designer, Shirley. They are unique in the world," said the sales assistant. She had a hint of disdain in her eyes.Upon hearing the name, Lorelei fell silent. She knew of Shirley's reputation."Oh, Ms. Robinson, it seems like you don't know its worth and don't have the money either. But you said you were going to buy it, didn't you?" Bailey suddenly chimed in, mimicking Lorelei's earlier sarcastic tone."How about I l

    After Sabrina finished speaking, she took out a card from her bag and handed it to the sales assistant with a gentle smile. "Charge this one, please."The sales assistant took the card with both hands and went to process the payment.Feeling grateful, Lorelei held Sabrina's hand and said, "Sabrina, you're so kind. Don't worry, Harold will only marry you. You're the only young lady of the Quall family. Some people will never be so lucky."She directed the last sentence at Lucille with a malevolent glare.Lucille remained indifferent. Her usual, calm demeanor frustrated Sabrina and Lorelei; it was as if they were punching a pillow.Lorelei kept praising Sabrina, unaware that Sabrina's heart was bleeding at the thought of spending over eight million dollars.Although she was the eldest daughter of the Johnson family and the chief perfumer at Johnson Group, most of her money was spent on Ivy's lavish spending.She didn't have any shares in Johnson Group and feared being looked down

    At 7:30 pm, Lucille returned to Orchidstone Garden after dropping off Bailey.When she opened the door, she was surprised to find the lights on. It wasn't the lights that shocked her, though.She stood in the doorway, staring in disbelief at the furniture and decorations. They looked nothing like they had when she'd left that morning.She knew she hadn't gone to the wrong floor. Orchidstone Garden's apartments were limited to one unit per floor, so there was no way she could've gone to the wrong one."You're back?" asked Spencer, appearing before her in casual loungewear.Lucille stared at the dashing man before her, blinking her eyes as she asked, "You changed everything?"Spencer nodded. "Yes, doesn't it feel more like home now?"Lucille was speechless.Then, she noticed that the only guest room had been converted into a study."You turned the guest room into a study?" Lucille asked, staring at Spencer."Yes.""So, are you going to sleep on the couch?" she asked earnestly,

    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
