"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. Everyone kn
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
"You should be grateful that she was standing there safe and sound because I would've done more than just talk today if it were the opposite case!"Then, Lucille turned to Catherine. "Ms. Mitchell, I'm not sure how much you're involved in today's incident, but I surely hope you remember that despite being her mother, you ceased to have anything to do with her the moment you abandoned her."For more than a decade, you never once appeared in her life. When you decided to desert her and carry on with your own life, with your new family and kids, she'd become alone."After all these years, I've finally helped her regain a taste of a normal life, yet you came barging in and disrupting her peace! I sincerely hope you never appear before her again. Without you, she'll only live happier."Catherine's eyes reddened, and she felt a lump in her throat, stopping her from uttering a word. She couldn't understand what Lucille meant by "having a taste of a normal life" either.Lucille didn't exp
Jessica felt like she would die of awkwardness if Lucille didn't come out soon. She'd yet to be alone with Spencer so far and could tell the latter was hostile toward her—it was what her gut told her, and she trusted her gut.But why would Spencer be hostile toward her? She wasn't a man.Just then, she noticed some movement at the Robinson residence's entrance. Lucille walked out. Before Spencer could do anything, Jessica darted forward to cling to Lucille. "You're finally out, Lulu!"Spencer had just lifted his foot to head toward Lucille, but he silently lowered it. Mack and Seamus exchanged a look at this, not daring to say anything.Jessica didn't ask what Lucille had done inside. Instead, she pouted and said, "I would've frozen over if you'd been in there any longer.""Hmm?" Lucille raised an eyebrow. She tilted her head slightly to give Jessica a confused look. The latter leaned against her shoulder.The weather was just nice—there was just the slightest chill in the air.
"Lorelei is still young, Elliot." Jodie was naturally defensive, given that Lorelei was her only daughter. "Besides, you can't exactly say that we're against the marriage alliance. It's just that… You know Gordon Keller is mentally impaired. How can Lorelei marry him?"You and Catherine have watched Lorelei grow up. Can you really bear to watch her spend the rest of her life with a fool?"Elliot frowned. Before he could say anything, he saw Catherine, who was always gentle and demure, shoot to her feet and glare daggers at Jodie."Do you even hear yourself, Jodie? Are you saying that my daughter should be sacrificed to marry Gordon because Lorelei is unwilling? "As you said, you can't bear to see your daughter spend the rest of her life with someone who's mentally impaired. Is it okay for my daughter to jump right into that trap? What sort of logic is that? Why don't you explain it to me?"Jodie didn't expect Catherine to suddenly fly off the handle when she was always so gentl
