Aaron and Mavis only arrived ten minutes later with Jessica.

When Ruben saw Jessica, he teased, "Oh, so we were waiting for such a big star."

He was actually surprised to see her. He hadn't expected Lucille to bring her along.

"Mr. Gale," Jessica greeted. Then, she approached Lucille. "What's up with the mysterious act, Lulu?"

Lucille had told her to remain in Whiteloop City and focus on filming just yesterday, yet she had pulled something like this today.

Lucille had even instructed Mavis to secretly bring Jessica to the airport. At the same time, Natalie had been asked to pretend to be Jessica while remaining at home, claiming to be sick. Lucille had even asked the production crew to give Jessica a few days off.

"I'm taking you back to Sylvania for a short trip," Lucille said.

"Huh?"

"Rey is getting engaged, so I'm attending the party." Lucille glanced at Jessica. "It's been ages since you left. It's time to ask Avery to give you another check-up."

Jessica fell silent at th

    Spencer received word that Lucille had arrived safe and sound."Boss, Dark Chamber reported that Mrs. Layton has arrived in Sylvania. She didn't go to a hotel, though," Mack said. "She went to Winton Estate."Winton Estate? Few families in Sylvania had that surname, and only one owned a place named Winton Estate—the Winton family, which came from a long line of doctors.It was hard to read Spencer's gaze. All he did was make a sound of acknowledgment.…Inside the study at Winton Estate, Lucille told Avery her plan. "That's my plan, Avery."She watched as his gentle expression darkened. After a long silence, he asked, "Do Reed, Marley, and Corey know about this?""No. The more people who know about this, the bigger the target," Lucille said. "Ben and I will be fine on our own—all you need to do is help us cover our tracks. We'll try our best to return on the day of Rey's engagement party."Ruben knew Avery was worried. He said, "Don't worry, Avery. Ten will be fine with me arou

    Only Lucille would think of sneaking into the presidential palace in the middle of the night.She looked at Ruben. "Do you think anyone in this room can take me on in a fight?"In other words, if no one in the room could stop her, how could any of them sneak into the presidential palace?Ruben looked at the three people standing before them—Beatrice, Jaden Perry, and Mildred Ellis. They all shook their heads.Ruben fell silent. Jaden said, "Maybe Mr. Gale and I can do it together, Lucy.""No. You guys can just wait for me outside," Lucille said. "I'll hack into the presidential palace's surveillance system. The security there is top-notch, so it won't hold out for long. I'll need you guys to assist me from the outside. Now, let's get ready."The three said in unison, "Got it."Ruben was still worried. With a slight frown, he asked, "Is it really necessary to raid the presidential palace?"Lucille said, "Since there's nothing wrong with Amadeus Vonridge, the presidential palac

    "That's not Lucille," Spencer said. He leaned against the seat, his eyes glinting coldly."What?" Kent and Bethany asked in unison.What did Spencer mean? How could that not be Lucille?It didn't take them long to understand. Kent looked incredulous as he asked, "Are you saying the Mrs. Layton we just saw isn't our Mrs. Layton?"Spencer didn't respond, but his grim expression was enough of an answer."But…" Bethany frowned. "She looked exactly like Mrs. Layton."That was what Kent thought, too. They hadn't noticed anything wrong with her figure, appearance, hairstyle, or outfit. Even her voice sounded identical!He asked, "How are you sure she isn't Mrs. Layton, boss?"Spencer's expression darkened. "By looking at her ring!"Kent and Bethany fell silent. They hadn't noticed that…In truth, Spencer hadn't noticed anything amiss based on any rings. That woman's distant attitude was what had thrown him off.They'd just spoken on the phone last night—she couldn't have grown apar

    Ruben choked on his spit and coughed. Lucille watched him wordlessly. He said, "I suppose that is a problem."He rubbed his nose, his eyes glinting oddly. Then, he continued roguishly, "Well, if he can't tell whether that's the real or fake you, you might as well not keep him around."Lucille rolled her eyes.Meanwhile, Spencer and the others returned to the hotel."Boss, I've already asked Dark Chamber to track Mrs. Layton down secretly." Kent looked at Spencer, who was now seated on the couch. The latter seemed vaguely menacing.Spencer made a sound of acknowledgment before dismissing them. Outside the room, Kent asked, "Why do I feel like boss is exceptionally calm about this?"Bethany agreed. "You're not alone."Based on Spencer's track record, he would've gone nuts upon learning that Lucille was missing. Now, however…Kent thought about what Spencer had said before they'd left Winton Estate. "Do we still have to pick the fake Mrs. Layton up from Winton Estate tonight?"Be

    As the night descended and the city became illuminated by flickering lights, Lucille and the others quietly left the hotel.…Several hours earlier, Spencer learned where Lucille was."Mrs. Layton is with Mr. Gale, the head of The Grid. They're in Arcania." Kent had immediately reported to Spencer after receiving word from Dark Chamber.He was only halfway done, though. He was hesitant to mention the second half of the report because it was so outrageous. "It seems like she to intend to infiltrate the presidential palace…"As he spoke, he saw Spencer's expression shift. All he could say was that Lucille really had the nerve to do anything.Sylvania's and Arcania's presidential palaces weren't that easy to infiltrate. According to their records, the presidential palaces used the world's best security systems, and their guards were the cream of the crop. They weren't places that just about anyone could get into.There were also many traps laid inside. If one were careless, they wo

    Jaden looked at Ruben and asked tentatively, "Are you coming, Mr. Gale?"In other words, he was asking Ruben whether the latter wanted to steal a car with him. He didn't have the nerve to ask that outright. After all, Ruben wasn't the average individual.…At 8:30 pm, a silver car with the presidential palace's logo embossed on it drove into Starlight Mall's basement parking lot. It parked in a designated spot.A beautiful woman in a white, form-fitting maxi dress and heels got out, her wavy hair cascading down her back. She had sunglasses on.A maid and two burly bodyguards followed her. They headed to the elevator.Jaden watched them leave before pressing his Bluetooth earpiece. "Have you hacked the surveillance cameras, Mildred?""Yeah, you can go ahead. They're already in the elevator," Mildred answered.At 8:15 pm, Lucille arrived at the basement parking lot in another elevator. Beatrice, also in disguise, was with her. Jaden saw them and said, "Over here, Lucy."Lucille'

    At 10:00 pm, a silver car drove past the presidential palace's gates. A security guard asked, "What's Ms. Vonridge doing back so soon?"Another said, "Who knows? Maybe she has something to attend to. Besides, she's the president's daughter and can return anytime. It's not up to us to say anything about it."They parked Vivian's car in the garage. Disguised as Vivian, Lucille headed to Vivian's bedroom with Beatrice in tow. No one stopped them.Lucille had analyzed the presidential palace's layout and knew there were two three-story wings. One was the main wing, where Alexander resided alone. The side wing was where his children and wife lived.Lucille looked around the room after entering it. There wasn't anything special about it. Then, she changed into loungewear that she'd brought with her.Beatrice approached her. "Elara just updated that President Vonridge isn't in the main wing now. He's with an important guest."Lucille had just changed, and she made a curious sound. It se

    Generally speaking, no one—not even Alfred—would enter Alexander's study without his permission.Ruben worked on breaking into the safes while Lucille walked around the study. Suddenly, she realized something. She asked, "Don't you think this study is a little too clean?"She didn't mean that it had been wiped and dusted.Ruben was focused on breaking into the safes, so he didn't hear what she said. It didn't bother her. Her point was that she didn't notice a single family photo in the study. In hindsight, she realized the living room downstairs had no photos, either.It was odd not to have any photos of one's family in one's home, wasn't it? Lucille circled back to the desk and sat down. She opened a drawer to see an old pocket watch inside.She wasn't interested in Alexander's personal belongings—she only thought the patterns on it were familiar. It was as if she'd seen them somewhere before.Nothing came to mind. She glanced at it again but didn't notice anything special, so s

    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
