Just when Ian was getting impatient waiting in the car, his subordinate sent him a message, saying they'd seen Mavis, who'd taken Eunice away last time.

While they had been watching her for a long time, they hadn't found anything useful.

But this time, she'd appeared at the hospital.

However, when Ian rushed to the ward, he only saw three people—Mavis, Lucille, and Spencer.

"Oh hi, Ian. Why are you here to visit me again?" Lucille asked in a mocking tone. "Didn't you just visit me this morning?"

Ian said nothing.

"Or are you here for Spencer?" Lucille asked again after not getting a reply.

Once again, Ian remained silent.

Of course, everyone knew he wasn't here for Lucille or Spencer.

After a moment of silence, Lucille asked, "Not Spencer either? Then who are you looking for?"

Ian squinted at the pale-faced Lucille on the hospital bed. But he'd only glared at her for a few seconds before Spencer blocked his path.

"Ian, this isn't the place to look for Eunice. She's

    Lucille put down her hands from her head and said to Spencer with a wide smile, "Wow, honey. I think my head feels better now after you've patted it a little. No need to call the doctor anymore."Spencer also smiled. His eyes filled with deep affection for her as he realized she was becoming more and more adorable. Lucille's voice was just loud enough that everyone in the ward could hear her. Ian and Wesley were speechless. What on earth was she saying?"We need to talk." Ian suppressed the anger deep in his heart. He'd never faced failure in his whole life, yet he'd consistently been at a loss when facing Lucille. He shouldn't have allowed Eunice to interact with Lucille! Lucille knew Ian was talking to her. She and Spencer exchanged a look. Spencer patted her head. "It's up to you if you want to talk to him. If you don't want to, I can kick him out for you." Lucille smiled lovingly at him. Ian took a deep breath before pushing his tongue against the back of his teeth.

    The next day, Lucille woke up to Spencer reading documents on the couch once again. He was on break because of the holiday, yet he never seemed to be on a break. He was always in work mode. "Honey," Lucille called. Spencer quickly set his documents aside and walked toward her. He was in casual clothes instead of a suit. "Are you not worried that Mack, Kent, or Seamus might switch jobs?" Lucille suddenly asked as Spencer helped her sit up. He helped tidy her slightly messy hair, tucking the ones around her cheeks behind her ears. "Huh?" Spencer was confused. "You're on break, yet you're still working. Don't they have to work overtime with you too?" Lucille asked. Spencer chuckled. "No one can afford them. Their pay is way too high." Lucille was speechless. "Are you flaunting that you're rich?" Spencer raised a brow as he stared at Lucille's groggy eyes and asked, "Am I not?" Lucille couldn't refute that. After Spencer carried Lucille to freshen up, Mack returned

    Everyone fell silent. Spencer sighed. "The food you want to eat is too heavy for you. They're not good for your recovery." James had been about to scold Spencer for mistreating Lucille. But after hearing that it would be bad for her recovery, he instead said, "Lucy, how about we listen to what the brat said and eat something light for now? Once you recover, I'll have our chef cook you something nice every day." Seth quickly added, "Oh, Grandpa, who needs our family's chef when we have one right here? I'm sure Lucy prefers having Spence cook for her more than the chef!" James agreed. "Yes, that's right! Once you've recovered, I'll have Spencer cook whatever you want to eat every day. And tell me if he doesn't cook for you. I've got your back and will scold him!" The chef, Spencer, was speechless. James felt like he had missed something. He mulled over it for a moment before he remembered what it was. "Oh, yeah, Lucy," James said. "When he cooks you something nice, please t

    If that was the case, Lucille could just settle her score with someone else instead. After all, there was no way she'd let anyone who'd been involved in this get away scot-free.Connor left after a while. Before he left, Spencer invited him to the reunion dinner at Layton Manor, knowing he wouldn't be returning to his side of the family. "Sure. Now if you'll excuse me." As Connor walked through the door, he turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, Spence, I assume Uncle Tucker will find out that Taylor's missing very soon. I'm sure he'll look for you about it." But Spencer wasn't afraid of Tucker. He nodded and replied, "Okay, got it." "I've got to go now." Connor said to Lucille, "Goodbye, Lucille."Lucille nodded. "Goodbye." "Honey, are we going home for the reunion dinner tomorrow?" Lucille asked Spencer.Spencer asked in return, "Do you want to go?" "Can I?" "Let's talk about it later." Spencer didn't immediately agree to Lucille. After all, it had only been two days

    On the eve of Connection Day, a local holiday where families gathered to celebrate their bonds and support each other through monetary gestures, Lucille was on bed rest, receiving her IV fluids.Although she hadn't been one to look forward to a lively holiday like this one, when she would usually just have dinner with Marie and spend the rest of the occasion alone, she knew she couldn't spend a minute more in the hospital.It was dreadful and boring, and her intense desire to move around made her depressed yet frustrated. As she peered at the falling snow outside the window, she yearned to be a bird, soaring freely in the wintry sky.Spencer returned to the ward briefly after he left. It was cold and snowing outside, and he felt the chill seep into his bones. Once he entered the room, he removed his jacket and waited for his body to warm up before approaching Lucille.He had long noticed Lucille's forlornness the moment he'd stepped in."What's wrong?" He stroked her hair. "Do you

    "They normally visit me during most of the holidays. It's just that something came up this year, and they couldn't make it."Hearing how content Harper sounded without a hint of complaint made Eunice think of her parents for some reason. Perhaps they were the only people who could offer her unconditional love.At that thought, she realized how unfilial she had been. Her parents, Winona Abbey and Carson, had only had two daughters—her and Sage. After Sage's passing, Eunice had disregarded their advice and ended up getting entangled with Ian.For five years, she'd dreaded contacting them, let alone visiting them. She feared seeing the look of sadness and disappointment on their faces. For five years, her world had revolved around only one person, yet she'd never managed to win his heart.Every year, during the holiday season, every house would be filled with noise and laughter, festive lights, and decorations. Yet, she'd spent it alone in Windvale Villa. Even the housekeepers would

    "How likeable was she?" Ian continued asking."How likeable…" Nate murmured and tried to recall. "Well, both guys and girls adored her. She had a gazillion of admirers back then, but—""But what?" Ian turned his head slightly to stare at him."She rejected all their advances, saying she was already committed to someone and that she'd only marry that person."Ian's heart sank. Eunice had had someone in mind back then. Who was it?"Who was he?""I don't know. You can ask Bailey about that. That brat has more information than I do." Nate passed the baton to his sister. In the meantime, Bailey secretly went to collect something from Creekside Villas and left. By the time she arrived at Moore Manor, it was 6:00 pm.She grabbed the exquisite bag from her passenger seat and dashed straight to Marcus' study, ignoring Ian on the couch.Noticing her sneaky and frantic actions, Ian narrowed his eyes and caught a detail on the bag she was holding.

    "You'd better answer me unless you want to go on refinement training after the holidays," Ian added coldly."Please don't, Mr. Moore," Wesley replied quickly."Then, tell me!""Well, it is indeed a private kitchen, but the owner is…"Wesley had no choice this time. He'd been able to cover up the truth when Ian had been out of the loop, but that wasn't the case anymore.He gritted his teeth, saying, "Mrs. Moore."Ian was stunned. Although he had suspected it, he couldn't contain his shock upon confirming it.After confessing, Wesley received nothing but a prolonged silence from Ian. The call remained connected, and he dared not end it either. After some time, he finally heard Ian's voice. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"Wesley was aggrieved. "Mrs. Moore didn't let me. She said you wouldn't eat her cooking. To prevent wasting food, she told me to cover up the truth."After another brief silence, Ian announced, "Say goodbye to your bonus for next year."Wesley's chest tighte

    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
