Sabrina's face paled and flushed scarlet the next second.

If what happened today got out, the persona and reputation she had been building for years would be destroyed.

Even her status as a perfumer, which was her only way to make a comeback, would be ruined.

She knew she had no choice but to deny being the copycat to the very end. If she stood by who she was, there was still hope. Regardless of what happened, she must not let herself slip.

"I've already said it—I wrote all the formulas in this notebook myself."

Everyone was speechless.

Wasn't the truth obvious? Why was Sabrina still denying it?

Lucille stared coldly at her and smirked. "Is that so?" she asked in an indifferent tone. Her words carried an invisible yet overwhelming pressure, like a black hole radiating intimidation.

"I've already given you many chances to admit it on your own." Lucille staged a big act of benevolence. After all, by giving Sabrina a chance, she was showing that she wasn't a narrow-minded,

    "W-Who knows if you stole it from Bree at our house!" Ivy shouted. Everyone looked at Ivy in annoyance, dumbfounded about how her brain worked. "Hey, old lady, your imagination sure is running wild, huh? That rolled off your tongue pretty easily!" Someone in the crowd said threateningly, "Defamation is also a crime, you know? You better think before you speak!" Ivy was infuriated for being called an "old lady". But when she heard defamation was a crime, she chickened out.Lucille glanced at Ivy and Sabrina and smiled. "Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention—I already patented the formulas five years ago." She weighed the notebooks in her hand. "If it is as you said and these notebooks belong to Ms. Johnson, then tell me, how did she never notice that even though so many years have passed?"Based on her personality, there's no way she'd be this calm after learning her belongings had gone missing, right?" Lucille chuckled. "I'm sure you know your daughter's personality very well. You do

    For a moment, everyone believed "bitchy" wasn't a discriminating term. It all depended on who was playing the character. Sabrina was stunned by what Lucille said. But before she could react, Lucille said, "I never explained myself and allowed you to take all my music scores and perfume formulas because I was trying to avoid unnecessary trouble. "After all, we were a family, and there was no need to be so cruel to each other. Even when you deliberately damaged my reputation in public, I didn't mind." Lucille sighed then continued, "There's no smooth sailing on the road to becoming successful. So, the recognitions I got today were all thanks to you too, Ms. Johnson." Sabrina furrowed her brows, finding Lucille's words somewhat familiar. It felt as if someone had said the same thing before. Having said all the good and bad things, Lucille had completely cut off Sabrina's way out. Now, no matter what Sabrina said, it would be utterly pointless.Besides, all the evidence was al

    "Over here, officer. She's Sabrina." Zoe, who stood closest to Sabrina, bravely pointed out, actively cooperating with the police officers. The police officers looked toward the surprised Sabrina and said solemnly, "We've received a report that you're involved in two cases. Please come with us for an investigation." The crowd immediately started whispering and chattering. What two cases was it about? What else had Sabrina done? Amidst the confusion, Sabrina looked toward the audience, trying to find William and Horace. But she didn't see any signs of them. At this moment, she realized the Johnson family had given up on her. As Sabrina was getting taken away, Lucille whispered something into her ear.No one else could hear her, but as soon as Lucille whispered, everyone saw Sabrina suddenly lunge at the former like a maniac. Lucille was about to evade it, but someone reacted faster than her. It was Spencer. He wrapped his hand around Lucille's waist and swiftly moved

    Lucille raised a brow. For a moment she couldn't bring herself to refuse Samantha. Spencer watched and said nothing. Lucille turned to Spencer and asked, "Can I take a photo with her?"Samantha was stunned. She couldn't help but think that Deer had a strict husband. Spencer's eyes were filled with tenderness, which didn't match his appearance and demeanor. To an outsider, he was a cold, unapproachable, prestigious man. Samantha could tell Spencer had remarkable elegance and looks yet an intimidating presence. No woman would be able to handle such a man easily. But Spencer behaved completely differently with Lucille than he did with outsiders. While cold and distant to the latter, he was very gentle and loving to her. Spencer said with a gentle and magnetic voice, "It's up to you." Lucille raised her brows and asked, "Are you not jealous?" Spencer went silent before affirming, "It's okay." Lucille chuckled. "Okay, I'll take the photos then." "Alright," Spencer repli

    Lucille remembered what Ivy said. Lucille hesitated for a moment, struggling to refer to Jane as "Mom". Instead, she used a common pronoun to address her. "What happened to her legs?" Although Lucille didn't mention who she was referring to, Spencer knew who she was talking about. He looked at her and said, "It's possibly because she hadn't been able to walk for years." Lucille quickly caught on. What did he mean by "hadn't been able to walk for years"? What happened that made her turn cripple? Lucille was hesitant to meet Jane. But after considering all the things she heard about Jane, she had no reason not to meet her. …At 7:00 pm, Lucille received a call from Eunice. Spencer was reading a finance magazine and noticed Lucille's worried look after the call. He put down the magazine and asked, "What's wrong?" Lucille sat beside Spencer and held onto the armrest to ground herself. She sighed before turning toward him. "Eunie left Whiteloop City," She said. "She

    The one who answered Ivy's call was Renee, who was the wife of the Beech family's head and Lorelei's aunt. "Renee, is Edgar there? I have something to tell him." Ivy restrained her usual sharp-tongued tone and spoke meekly and submissively. Renee always despised Ivy. But because Edward hoped the Beech family could live in harmony, she held in her hatred. After all, she rarely saw Ivy anyway. "Oh hi, Ivy. Edgar just went out and isn't home at the moment." Renee acted kind and gentle. "What do you need to tell him?" "What time will he be back?" Ivy asked. Renee could hear the anxiety in Ivy's voice. But she replied slowly, "Well, I'm not really sure. You know, Edgar never tells us about his schedules." Ivy was at a loss. Renee feigned kindness and asked, "Hey Ivy, you can tell me if you need anything. I'll try my best to help you. Or I can let Edgar know when he's back." Ivy didn't have Edgar's number, and she knew Ivy wouldn't give it to her easily. But the Beech famil

    In the past, every time Sabrina was sick or bullied by Lucille, Ivy always called Harold to complain. Back then, he felt there was nothing wrong with that. After all, his feelings for Sabrina were genuine. But after finding out that Sabrina had lied to him, he was utterly disappointed in her. Harold immediately blocked off everything related to Sabrina. Just hearing her name was enough to disgust him. Ivy never thought Harold would go that far, but she couldn't care about it. Before Harold could hang up the call, she quickly blurted out, "Harold, Bree was detained in the detention center. Could you please save her?" Harold's furrowed brows deepened at that. What did she do to get herself detained again? Seeing Harold hadn't hung up, Ivy continued, "It's because of that heartless bitch Lucille! She's the one who got Bree into the detention center, and she doesn't even allow us to bail Bree out! "I really have no other choice but to ask for your help, Harold. You know Bre

    A group of big shots gathered at the KT Sports Club. The sports club was also closed to the public today, with only the staff allowed inside. "I'm curious, why do we have to come to this stupid club so early in the morning?" Ethan yawned. The bottom of his eyes were layered with heavy eye bags. He was woken up by Zachary's phone call, telling him to come to the club. Zachary didn't even tell Ethan what they were doing. Instead, he just told Ethan to not regret if he insisted on not coming. So, Ethan struggled out of bed and quickly rushed there. And when he arrived, he saw everyone was there. Not only Zachary, but Spencer, Lucille, Lucas, and Bailey were present. Even Ian, who hadn't shown up recently, was there. Zachary rolled his eyes. "What time do you think it is now? The sun is already high up! What did you do last night? You look like a wreck!" Ethan yawned again before replying, "Please don't bring it up! I was at Nightvale Club last night for some work and ran i

    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
