A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 532
"My men detected signs of life on three of those islands. They're not connected but follow a pattern where each island is separated by another. As of now, I can't confirm where the exact base is."The more Lucille listened, the more she fell deep into contemplation. "That's not right," she uttered.Hunter looked at her. "What's not?"She met his eyes. "Let me ask you—if it were you, would you leave those signs behind for people to discover?"Echelon 103 was not only known for its brutality but also for its mystery. Seeing how they had made a comeback, they certainly wouldn't have made such a basic mistake.Hunter gave it some thought. "So, you're saying it's a misdirection?"Lucille replied, "I don't know if it's a misdirection, but I'm fairly sure they're not on any of those three islands." She glanced at him with a questioning gaze, as if saying, "Have you been using your brain?"He stayed silent, knowing he would never be on the same level of intelligence as her to consider s

Spencer returned after two hours. Lucille asked, "Did you settle that matter?""Yeah." He approached her after taking off his coat."Was it anything tricky?""Just some issues with the construction materials for a new property development—the materials were destroyed. We're just going to have to delay the commencement of construction, but it doesn't affect anything. I'm too rich for anything to hold me back," Spencer explained.Lucille cursed Hunter in her heart. "Did you find out who did it?""A short circuit at the warehouse caused a fire. No one was hurt."Lucille regretted not giving Hunter the beating of a lifetime. He had such an unscrupulous personality that he deserved it. He'd said he'd done something to Spencer's new project. So this was what he'd meant!After lunch, Spencer took a nap with her.…Meanwhile, Barrett yawned in a car. "We've been hanging around her for ages. No one's shown up."Bethany kept her eyes on a nearby villa's entrance. She didn't want to mis

"Wake up, Barrett! Someone's coming out." Bethany finally saw something happening at the villa's entrance. Barrett was resting his eyes in the driver's seat when she patted him awake.He jolted and focused on the entrance. Bethany was right—a black MPV was leaving the villa. He waited until it was some distance away before he started the car and followed it.After a while, Bethany couldn't help thinking something was amiss."This road is a little familiar…" She thought about it. "This will take us to the Johnson residence."Barrett asked, "Should we inform Mrs. Layton?""Let's see how things play out. She only wanted us to watch the people at Windmere Manor."Meanwhile, there wasn't any hint of the holiday atmosphere at the Johnson residence. Things were heavy and gloomy. Everyone was preoccupied with their thoughts.Johnson Group's revenue had started showing a downward trend two months before the holidays. Their existing business partners hadn't renewed their contracts upon ex

Jane's gaze landed on Horace. She said bluntly, "I invested over a billion dollars in the Johnson family and helped it find its footing in Whiteloop City. Do you still remember what you promised me back then?"Horace couldn't help feeling diffident. He didn't say anything.She sneered. "Since I had the ability to help your family find its footing back then, I also have the ability to make you lose it."Horace immediately linked her words to the things that had happened recently. "Are you the one who's been messing with Johnson Group?""So what if I am? And what if I'm not?" Jane looked indifferent.Sabrina had never actually dealt with Jane in the past. She'd only seen photos of the latter. It was in this moment that she saw Lucille in Jane—they were equally cold and arrogant. Jane also carried herself with dominance; it was impossible to ignore her.Jane said, "Since you guys failed to keep your promise, it's only natural for me to take back the things I've given you, isn't it?"

Jane turned to look at Sabrina. The latter subconsciously swallowed upon meeting the former's sharp gaze.Ivy tugged Sabrina's hand, wanting her to stay out of this. However, Sabrina's mind was filled with thoughts of how Johnson Group was hers and that Lucille had no right to take it away from her."Since Lucille isn't Dad's daughter, she has no right to hold Johnson Group's shares. How can an illegitimate daughter like her own anything that belongs to our family?"Sabrina had been labeled an illegitimate daughter for too many years. She couldn't care less about anything else now that she could rid herself of that label. That was why she spoke with confidence.Jane narrowed her eyes at Sabrina but didn't stop the latter from speaking. Sabrina continued, "I'm older than her, which means you're the one who came between my parents. You're the real homewrecker here!"Jane laughed at that. Ivy didn't look too happy to hear Sabrina's words. She tried to stop her again. "Bree, that's

Barrett and Bethany didn't say anything. Instead, they handed her the photos they'd just had printed.Lucille took them and looked down at them. In the next second, she dropped the photos on the bed."We spent half a day watching things at Windmere Manor. A car left the villa in the afternoon, which we followed to the Johnson residence," Bethany explained. "These photos were taken at the Johnson residence's entrance."Lucille's gaze was still fixed on the face in the photo. Shock, surprise, understanding, and calmness flitted past her eyes. There was also something unfathomable there.She'd fantasized about this and guessed at the truth countless times. But now that what seemed to be the truth was laid out before her, she couldn't help wanting to back away.Spencer glanced at Barrett and Bethany. They caught his drift and left the room.Lucille looked calm, but her hands belied her true emotions. They were trembling as Spencer held them with one hand. Then, he placed his other ha

Two unwelcome visitors arrived at the hospital at 7:30 pm."I can't let you inside without boss' permission, Mr. Tucker." Mack and the bodyguards stopped Tucker at the ward's entrance.Melanie reached out to shove them away. She screeched, "Get out of my way! We want to see Spencer! What has he done to Taylor?"She and Tucker looked upset. Taylor had promised them he would be back on Connection Day but hadn't shown up. He hadn't answered his phone, and even his men couldn't be reached. Only then had Melanie and Tucker realized that something was wrong.Tucker had failed to find Taylor despite pulling some strings. So, Spencer was the only other person he could think of. He was the only person Taylor had competed against over the years.He'd gone to Layton Manor to speak to James, but James had refused to see him. He and Melanie hadn't even been able to step into the house.In the end, Tucker had found out about Spencer going in and out of Central Hospital recently. He didn't kn

Tucker wasn't a fool. Spencer knew that even if the Tucker couldn't understand him now, his words would plant the seed of doubt.Melanie and Tucker had kicked up a small fuss at the hospital but ended up leaving without any answers. Tucker looked preoccupied as he and Melanie left the hospital. Melanie didn't dare say anything to him, looking equally distracted.…Lucille was still engrossed in thoughts of Jane suddenly coming back to life, but she'd heard every word of Spencer's conversation with Tucker and Melanie.She watched as he came back inside the room and teased, "I didn't know you'd learned to lie, Mr. Layton."He caressed her head when he saw that she was in the mood to joke. "Taylor really isn't in my hands.""Hmm?"He smiled. "He's with Connor."Lucille fell silent. Connor was his man. Didn't that mean Taylor was ultimately in his hands? What was the difference?"So, have you thought things through?" Spencer saw that she seemed to be much better than before.Sh

A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 704
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
