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
Lucille knew based on Ian's reaction that he didn't know Eunice's and Sage's information was swapped. "If you could beat me, I'll tell you," Lucille said mysteriously and shrugged.The others didn't know what the two were talking about. "Are Ian and Lucy going to shot or not?" Ethan muttered. "They've been talking for so long, and they look like they're not having a nice talk. Look at Ian's forehead! It's so creased that he'll get pernament wrinkles!" Zachary slapped the back of Ethan's head and said, "Don't make Spence beat the crap out of you before Ian and Lucy even started!" Then, they saw Lucille pick up a Beretta M9 first and twirl it around her hand skillfully. "Ian, for the first round, how about we compete to see who can fire all 60 shots without missing the target?" Lucille smirked indifferently. "Sure," Ian agreed without any hesitation. Ethan watched and turned toward Spencer. "Hey Spence, why do I feel like Lucy looked somewhat excited?" Spencer ignored
"Actually, I would tell you Eunie's whereabouts. But…" Lucille slowly trailed off. As Ian heard Lucille was willing to tell him Eunice's whereabouts, his relaxed forehead creased once again. He lowered his voice and probed, "But what?" Lucille lightly coughed and brushed the tip of her nose before saying sheepishly, "It's too late, Ian." Ian's brows furrowed even further. What did Lucille mean by too late? At this moment, Spencer walked over to Lucille and pulled her to his side while holding her hand. Before Lucille could say it, Spencer said, "Ian, Eunice had already left Whiteloop City yesterday. But Lucy had nothing to do with this, Eunice told her after she had left. "Lucy already planned to tell you about Eunice's whereabouts, but it was too late." "What did you say?" Ian squinted. His eyes brimmed with frost as his tone brought the atmosphere down to subzero. Even Bailey, who was standing near the entrance, felt the chills for no reason. Only Spencer was unfaze
"Mrs. Layton, you and Mr. Layton are trending on social media again." Mack turned from the passenger's seat and asked, "Shall we take them down?" The title was short and simple—"Spencer and Lucille, Viral News!" After all, just the mere mention of their names was enough to draw public attention. Undoubtedly, it was about Lucille who revealed another one of her secret identities. And of course, every time the couple was mentioned, it was something about their relationship. The comments were flooded with shippers willingly witnessing their public display of affection."Damn, I ship this couple so much!" "Be it their appearance or skills, Lucille and Spencer are a perfect match for each other. Just what an amazing couple they are!" "Holy crap, the way they gaze at each other! I'm smiling so much that I'm getting a cramp." "Their relationship is basically like a soap opera that we have to fill in with our imagination." Spencer said with his low, magnetic voice, "It's up to
Lucille's gloomy gaze fixated on the person in the wheelchair, and she maintained her silence.After a few seconds, the person in the wheelchair activated a button and turned around to face Lucille.When Lucille finally saw Jane's face, she was stunned, her breathing hitching and her nose tingling. Her hands, hanging at her sides, instinctively clenched into fists. Spencer, standing closest to her, witnessed every moment of it.Although Jane had seen plenty of Lucille's photos, this was her first time meeting her after so many years. Lucille's expression of unfamiliarity and indifference pierced Jane's heart.The living room descended into an eerie silence, with the onlookers knowingly maintaining their silence. With that, the reunited mother and daughter locked eyes for a fairly long time. At last, Jane broke the awkward silence."Lucia, don't you recognize your mom?" Jane looked at Lucille and offered a warm, motherly smile.Hearing the familiar voice uttering her nickname "L
"Lucia, I swear that wasn't my intention. So much stuff was happening back then that I didn't even have time to process and tell you about it. "I admit I was wrong for abandoning you, but I…" Jane looked at Lucille, struggling to find the right words. "There are some things better left unknown."Seeing the red streaks in Jane's eyes from her violent coughing, Lucille couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted. At that moment, Jane seemed like a frail, swaying tree, on the verge of snapping with the slightest breeze.Lucille looked away. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Fine. Let me ask about something else, then. Who's my biological father?"Jane wasn't surprised by her question as she knew Lucille would find out sooner or later. Still, it wasn't the right time then. "You're right. William is not your father." She continued, "I can only tell you he's still alive, but…"Lucille averted her gaze and looked back at her due to the pause."You don't have to know who he is!
