Spencer sat on a couch. His chiseled face looked cold, and his eyes were dark with unfathomable emotions.Vivian was somewhat down when she saw him look indifferent. She was always admired by others and became the center of attention whenever she went. However, Spencer didn't even bother to look at her and even maintained a cold expression.If Alexander were here, he would be dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, Spencer had been smiling and joking with the fake Vivian, but now he looked indifferent.However, Vivian wasn't the type who would give up because of a little difficulty.She'd met Spencer in her junior year. Her college happened to be his alma mater. It had been the college anniversary that year, and Spencer was invited. She had been the school council president, so she'd had the chance to join the management to welcome Spencer.He'd had a strong presence and gave off a noble, charming vibe.After the college anniversary had ended, Vivian had had someone look into Spencer.
So, why had Spencer suddenly come from Sylvania to Arcania and even gone to the presidential palace?Lucille wondered if he'd just been making an excuse to see Vivian and not Alexander.She suddenly realized that she was overwhelmed by her thoughts and couldn't stop overthinking.She had never been like this before. She wondered what was wrong with her and if it had to do with Vivian's sudden appearance by Spencer's side.Lucille wanted to confront Spencer and ask him for an explanation.He'd actually smiled at Vivian. Lucille thought she was generous and wouldn't mind, but she realized she was very petty now and that she was deeply bothered.Another possibility was that this was because of Vivian. After all, she was related to Alexander, and Lucille hadn't figured out why there were so many photos of Alexander and Jane.She wondered what Alexander's role was and if he had anything to do with Jane. She needed to investigate all of this."By the way, I just remembered something.
At the highest floor of the hotel, Lucille returned to her suite and headed to the bathroom.When she was done with her shower, she opened the door. The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, she frowned because someone was in the living room.Ruben wouldn't usually barge in without her permission. It was the same for the others as well.She narrowed her eyes, which glinted coldly with murderous intent.She was only wearing a white towel. So, she put on a bathrobe.She tiptoed toward the door. Fortunately, she had the habit of locking the door whenever she returned to the hotel room.She pressed her ear against the door for a while to check if there was any movement. She frowned without realizing it.She heard a woman's voice outside and wondered why it sounded familiar.After a few minutes, she changed her clothes.Lucille opened the door from the inside, and the door happened to face the living room.Meanwhile, Bethany, who was standing in the living room reporting to Spen
Spencer narrowed his eyes and stared at her. It was the first time he'd heard her speak so sarcastically.She wasn't afraid of his gaze. If they were to argue about who was right or wrong, she believed that her mistakes were nothing compared to his. At least, that was how she saw it.Spencer's expression instantly softened, and he let out a hearty laugh.As she listened to his laughter, her face scrunched up. She was being serious, yet he dared to laugh."You still have the audacity to laugh?"Spencer's heart nearly melted at the sight of her eyes and the cute way she puffed her cheeks in anger. Instead of responding to her, he used the most direct method to tell her.He reached out to lift her chin. While she was still confused, he kissed her soft, red lips with his cool, thin lips. He skillfully probed his tongue into her mouth to taste her. Then, he grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him.Initially, she'd wanted to push him away because she was still angry. However, she
"A certain mischievous woman with a multi-faceted personality has my heart. How could I be interested in someone else?"The mischievous Lucille smirked.Then, Spencer tapped on the spot between her brows with his index finger and asked angrily, "Why? Do you want me to become the president's son-in-law?"She cocked her head to the side and thought before she said, "Why not? After all, he is the president. You'll be able to look after me in the future."He couldn't help but laugh and picked up where she left off. "What role do you expect me to play to have your back?""Maybe as brother, friend, or lover. Take your pick," she quickly responded with her nonsense."Ouch… It hurts…"He knocked her forehead and said, "In your dreams."She said, "I would love to, but that depends on whether you've got what it takes."He asked, "Are you trying to add divorce to your life experience?"She replied, "Why not? Then, my life would be complete. I've got what others have and don't have. Isn'
Ever since Spencer had left without saying a word, Vivian had been lost in thought in her room. She'd never expected to see him again. Although she had countless admirers pursuing her every year, she'd never been interested in any of them since she already had a certain someone in her heart. Since fate had guided them to meet again, Vivian decided not to be passive this time. She made a call and asked someone to look into something. Meanwhile, two people stood in a dark corner near the backdoor of the presidential palace. While it wasn't easy to make them out, their voices indicated that it was a man and a woman."I apologize for my incompetence. I can't find the lost emblem." "You idiot!" A reprimanding voice echoed through the darkness. "I've already searched the entire presidential palace and couldn't locate it. Perhaps it was sent to the garbage dump." "You better hope it's at the garbage dump! If someone found that, we're screwed!" The emblem should never have e
In the end, Lucille was forced to get out of the bed. After simply cleaning herself, she put on a jacket and went downstairs. Several men sat in the living room, staring awkwardly at each other. "Jonathan?" Lucille rubbed her eyes, confirming she hadn't mistaken Jonathan for someone else. "Lucy!" Jonathan jolted up from the couch when he saw Lucille and quickly rushed to embrace her in excitement. "Umm…" Lucille was hugged before she could react. However, Spencer wasn't jealous and watched calmly on the couch. Perhaps he was delighted after Jonathan had acknowledged him as his brother-in-law. Lucille lightly patted Jonathan's back. "Hey, Jon, you're choking me…"Jonathan held Lucille too tightly in his embrace. Lucille hadn't completely woken up and still felt sore all over her body. She was unable to withstand such a passionate embrace. "Oops! Sorry, Lucy! It's because I missed you so much." Jonathan was a gentle sweetheart. He was young and handsome and talked very
Lucille didn't pay attention to Spencer and Ruben's conversation. She believed in Spencer's capabilities. Besides, Ruben was no match for him anyway. It wasn't like Lucille didn't look up to Ruben. But because she knew both of them too well. She believed the two would interact harmoniously. But right now, Lucille had another important problem. How was she going to slip away from Spencer and head to Fallbrook Town today? This was a headache for her. Lucille racked her brain but couldn't come up with a perfect idea. If she told Spencer she wanted to return to Sylvania, he definitely wouldn't let her go alone. And whatever excuses she gave would never work on him. Oh, what a conundrum! Lucille let out a long sigh. Jonathan stayed seated beside her and noticed she suddenly seemed downcast. He asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Lucy?" Lucille averted her gaze and turned toward him. "I'm wondering what kind of girl will match such a smart, capable, attractive man like our Jo
