A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 563
Some of the contestants started whispering among themselves."Why have they changed it to giving a theme on the spot?""I know, right? Didn't they already announce the theme? How can they just change it on the fly?""The formula I've prepared will be useless, then."Some contestants were worried, while some were unaffected."You guys still don't understand the rules of the International Perfumery Competition, do you? Yes, the theme was announced some time ago, but the committee also mentioned they wouldn't rule out a last-minute change." A woman scoffed. She couldn't help speaking up when she saw the chattering contestants."Don't tell me you aren't capable of doing anything now that the theme has been changed," she mocked. "If that's the case, you might as well retire from the perfumery industry. Don't humiliate yourselves."Someone wanted to retort, but they shut up when they saw who she was. They weren't afraid; they'd just been caught off guard.The fact that Deer was prese

Lucille guessed Sabrina had already finalized the best version of her perfume formula for the second section. She wanted to see how Sabrina would deal with this curveball.Sabrina felt like she'd swallowed a fly after she switched stations. She was pissed as hell but couldn't show it. All she could do was go along with the change.She didn't know why the rules for this year's competition had been changed on the spot. Could it be that she had been found out?Sabrina passed the first section in trepidation. She was the fifth to finish, taking 4 minutes and 50 seconds. She'd cut it close.Everyone was familiar with her. After all, she'd been embroiled in trouble arising from her personal life. In fact, she'd been one of the main characters in that scandal with the affluent families.Setting that aside, she'd also always placed in the competition, even becoming the first runner-up once. There was also the fact that she'd always been known as the talented heiress. That naturally made h

The committee didn't set any rules for the contestants' progress throughout the four hours. It was up to them to control their time. If they'd yet to complete the last step and produce a perfume at the end of the four hours, they would have failed.Four hours was long, but time flew when one was engrossed. Lucille watched the competition from her seat on the judge's panel, feeling a burning gaze on her the whole time. She knew who it belonged to.It was just that there were too many eyes and cameras around. So, she felt it was better to maintain a low profile. She forced herself not to turn around.…Meanwhile, the people at Windmere Manor were watching the livestream of the competition."Ms. Lucille is brilliant and talented above all else. To think she's already achieved so much in the perfumery industry at her age," Andrew said with gratification. "Your mother wanted you to learn perfumery back in the day, but you just weren't interested in it."She could only give up on the i

Still, there was no underestimating the power of the Internet. Some people had soon managed to dig up information on Samantha, but they'd been stopped before spreading the information. And so, only few people knew the truth about her.Samantha, who was contestant no. 9, was the first to finish writing her perfume formula. Lucille surreptitiously checked the time and saw that she'd taken 20 minutes. It wasn't considered too fast or too slow—it was a logical amount of time.Just because one wrote quickly didn't mean they would definitely win. The final product was still what would determine who came out on top.Zoe, who was contestant no. 3, was the second to finish her formula. Sabrina and the five other contestants followed. Most of them had finished their formulas within 30 minutes.Lucille kept glancing at Sabrina, so she saw every minute expression that appeared on the latter's face. It looked like she was confident she would win.Lucille smirked underneath the veil again. It

Matilda's mind exploded with expletives upon hearing the news. If not for her remembering that they were in the middle of a competition with a livestream, she would've shot up from her seat in astonishment.She calmed herself before asking in a lowered voice, "When did you get a husband? Why have I never heard about this? Why didn't you tell me?"She was so agitated that she forgot how to form the words in Summerian. Instead, she used Faelisian.Lucille reminded, "This isn't the time and place for gossip, Ms. Dunn. Watch where you are."Matilda looked around. She felt awful now that the flames of gossip had been ignited in her. "You have to tell me everything after the competition, then. Don't try to run away.""Okay, okay."To the audience, Matilda and Lucille's short exchange seemed like a discussion about the competition.The Johnson family only arrived halfway through the competition; it was too late for them to enter. However, due to their identities, the staff stationed at

Horace looked in the direction Ivy had pointed to see the side profile of a woman wearing a veil. He didn't say anything, but his satisfied smile proved that he believed Ivy to be right.Soon, William noticed Spencer among the audience. "Look, Dad. Isn't that JM Corporation's Mr. Layton? What's he doing here?"Horace looked in the direction William had indicated. He hadn't expected to see someone as powerful as Spencer there. Losing the chance to latch onto the Layton family was always one of his regrets. Even one of the Layton family's branch families was better than the Keller family.If he'd known things would've turned out like this, he wouldn't have helped Sabrina steal Harold from Lucille. Then, perhaps Sabrina would've ended up with Spencer instead."Does that mean Lucille is here, too?" Ivy immediately thought of Lucille when she saw Spencer. She looked around but didn't see Lucille.Spencer wore a dapper navy blue suit and was seated alone, looking elegant and regal. His

Two hours later, it was break time.Michael reminded, "Everyone, it's our break time. We've got a 15-minute break. Apart from the audience and judges who can move around, contestants aren't allowed to leave the stage but can sit and have a rest."You can either take a break or keep going—it's your call. There are no special rules. The only rule is that you mustn't leave the stage."As soon as Michael said that, only Zoe and Samantha paused what they were doing and sat still to rest. The others continued with their tasks. Two minutes later, Sabrina also stopped.Ivy waved at Sabrina from below the stage, looking proud.However, Sabrina pretended not to see her. Instead, she smiled at the camera. From Ivy's point of view, it looked as if Sabrina had responded to her. Actually, Sabrina wanted to ignore Ivy. Ever since she'd seen Jane, she'd realized that if Ivy had had capabilities or a powerful background, she wouldn't have had to rely on herself for everything.In her eyes, Ivy

"Spencer, are you flying off the handle? I can't believe you actually hit me."Spencer was at a loss for words.He grimaced and threatened Lucille. "If you continue to talk nonsense, I don't mind making love to you right here."She knew he always meant what he said, so she stopped joking."I was just testing you," she said with a cheeky grin. "So, what did you want to tell me? Don't leave me hanging."Unfortunately, she'd covered her face with a veil, so he could only see the mischief glinting in her eyes. It wasn't easy to pique her interest, but Spencer was an exception.He didn't answer her. Instead, he responded with a subtle approach. He kissed her while she was wearing the veil. The feeling was strange. It wasn't their first kiss, but…She wasn't the only one who felt it. He felt it too."Do you know how deadly your veiled beauty is right now?" He pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, "You little vixen, you're seducing me without even knowing it."With a playf

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
