At the mention of Shirley, Corey seemed annoyed, and a flicker of indifference flashed in his eyes. Then came his casual and idle voice. "Hey, brat. Your friend, Shirley, is too hard to pursue. I'm giving up."

Lucille frowned slightly. "So, you took Luther's advice and went ahead with a marriage alliance?"

Corey's chuckle sounded on the speaker. "I actually find a marriage alliance quite interesting. You see, the relationship requires little to no effort. We can get married right away. I like how convenient that is. Besides, you know me; I hate complicated stuff."

Lucille was unsure what had happened between him and Shirley, but she was confident something must've happened for him to make such a decision when he'd normally be dead set against it.

He refused to continue this topic and changed the subject. "I've sent you guys the invitation. You should take this chance and reunite with the gang."

She grunted in response and didn't bring up Octavius. Only Reed, Marley, and Ruben knew

    Lucille's cold voice reminded Sabrina of the perfumery competition from two weeks ago. At that time, Lucille had whispered in her ear, "You know, I'd sacrificed myself to be your stepping stone while you chased your dream of being the talented heiress."Sabrina stared harshly at her, her face contorted. "This has been your plan all along, Lucille. You did this to me!" She infuriatedly pointed at Lucille, intending to stand up but was quickly subdued."Sit down, Number 987!" the officer nearby shouted. In the detention center, she was reduced to an inmate number without a name."Did you guys hear her? It was her! She got me into this mess! She set up a trap that got me into this hellhole! You should be taking her, not me!" Sabrina shouted at the officers around her.No one responded to her. After all, they were aware of all the truth.The crimes she'd committed were all backed by solid evidence, ranging from plagiarism to kidnapping and attempted murder. Although she hadn't followe

    Lucille stayed at the research lab until 6:00 pm. Although the branch lab had just opened, she had many things to take care of.Stretching her back, she massaged her lower waist and left the research room. Once she arrived at her private office, she removed her white coat and left with her bag.At the main entrance, the middle-aged guard, Bernard Dixon, smiled at Lucille. "Dr. Johnson, are you getting off work?"She nodded at him. "Yeah."Bernard called after her again, saying, "Your husband is here to pick you up again, Dr. Johnson."Following Bernard's line of sight, Lucille saw Spencer's tall silhouette.He had been picking her up from work recently, and nearly everyone in the research lab had heard about it. Her identity, likewise, was known to everyone. Hence, she had nothing to hide.Spencer's gorgeous face was enough to make one's heart race. Lucille looked up at him while standing before him. "I thought you had a wine party tonight. Is it over already?"He habitually ca

    Instead, Grace blinked playfully at Seth, her dainty face lighting up with a smile as she replied, "Yeah, I'm here to look for you, my wealthy husband. Care to entertain me?"Both Seth and Kent were speechless. The latter mused, "Wow. Who is this pretty lady who dared to flirt with Mr. Seth? Is Mr. Seth's love life finally taking a positive turn? I have to commend his chastity, though, which is on par with boss'."…"Are we returning to Layton Manor tonight?" Lucille, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to Spencer in the driver's seat."What's wrong? You don't want to?" he asked with a hint of a smile.She noticed that and murmured, "Of course you'd want to."He heard her words and chuckled, landing his right hand on her left. "Don't worry. I won't tire you out tonight."Indeed, Lucille dreaded returning there. How could she endure being pushed to the limit every day?With James' grand plan involving a fake injury, he'd strategically made them stay at Layton Manor so he could

    "Yes."After a brief silence, Jane frowned and asked, "I remember you guys telling me that Corey and Lucia are acquainted."Andrew only thought of that after being reminded. "Then, she must be on the guest list."Jane solemnly said, "No, we can't let her meet them in Sylvania. Andy, no matter what, we must stop her from going to Sylvania."…At Layton Manor, Arthur told a helper to serve the soup again. "Mr. Spencer, Madam Lucille, Mr. Layton Senior specially requested the kitchen to make this soup for you."Lucille's lips twitched awkwardly, while Spencer looked at the soup emotionlessly. Just as she was contemplating what to do, he stated, "Arthur, remove the soup from the table and discard it."Sitting around the table, Eric, Lila, and Yvonne looked at him in unison. No one dared to speak or question why the soup should be discarded.Meanwhile, Lucille turned to Spencer and blinked, thinking, "My honey is the best."Naturally, Arthur was stunned. Could it be that Spencer ha

    No matter what, James planned to welcome a great-grandchild by the end of this year. It appeared that he had been attacked with a virus called "Great-Grandbaby Fever", while Seth remained clueless about the target on his back.…The next day, Lucille received Mavis' call just as she prepared to head to the research lab."Bad news, Lucy. Ms. Larson has been taken away!"Lucille had just entered the car when she froze. Instantly, Spencer noticed her strange movement and cold expression."Send me the location," she instructed in an icy voice."What's wrong?" Spencer asked.She briefed him about the matter and said, "You head to the company. I'll drive myself."However, Spencer insisted otherwise. "Get in. I'll come with you."Lucille didn't bother to argue with him. She hopped into the car and told him the location Mavis had shared with her.Mack and Seamus, who had been abandoned by the couple for the umpteenth time, looked at each other. Since Spencer had become passionate a

    On the way to the Robinson residence, Lucille told Mavis to investigate the reason Elliot had taken Jessica.According to her knowledge, the Robinsons were aware of Catherine's daughter with her ex-husband but not her identity. Moreover, she had manipulated Jessica's background information on purpose.Logically, they wouldn't have discovered Jessica's true identity. Even if they had, they had no solid reasons to take her away. There had to be a reason for this.Meanwhile, at the Robinson residence, Jessica gazed at everyone and burst into laughter again. This time, her eyes were reminiscent of a mentally unstable person. "That's the biggest joke I've heard in all my life." She was direct. "Are you guys mentally challenged or something?"The last thing she expected from them after they brought her there was for them to acknowledge her as family. That was hilarious. Whose family was she being acknowledged into?Sitting before her was not only the head of the Robinsons, Elliot, but

    Meanwhile, Lucille received Mavis' reply as she neared the Robinson residence. After reading the message, her originally dark gaze became even more cold and menacing.Spencer noticed her change and asked, "What's wrong?""The Robinsons want Jessica to go through the marriage alliance with the Keller family." She added harshly, "They shouldn't have targeted her."He asked, "The Kellers in the real estate industry? Are the Robinsons doing it for that piece of land in East District?"She grunted in response.Initially, the Kellers had arranged a marriage alliance with the Johnsons. They'd even managed to successfully get Gordon engaged to Sabrina. Yet, with her numerous scandals, the Kellers wanted nothing to do with her and called off the engagement.Subsequently, they had proposed a marriage alliance with the Robinson family.Since the Robinsons wanted the development rights for the land in the East District, the Kellers concurred on one condition—a marriage alliance.

    Then, Lucille asked, "Was your last name previously Larson, Mr. Robinson?"Before Elliot could answer, she said, "Strange. I didn't know Mr. Larson came back from the dead."He maintained his smile, albeit stiffer this time, and replied, "Jessie is the daughter my wife had with her ex-husband. Naturally, she's also my child.""Well…" Lucille snickered. Her next words dripped with sarcasm. "If you'd treated her as your child, why didn't you or Mrs. Robinson ever fulfill your responsibilities as a parent for the last decade? Why the sudden enthusiasm now?"Her sharp gaze fixed squarely on Elliot, prompting him to lose his bearings upon meeting her penetrating gaze.Back then, when Jessica's life had been hanging by a thread, not a person in this living room, including Catherine, had shown up.Lucille's words rendered Elliot speechless. She lowered her cold voice and continued, "I don't care what reason you had for dragging her here today. From now on, forget about it!" Her cold gaz

    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
