"How did I trick you exactly?" Lucille responded effortlessly, while managing to sound innocent. "Do you think I'm that stupid to walk right into a trap?"

Jasper was speechless. He had underestimated Lucille. He should've known that she never fought an uncertain war.

When Ace had whispered to him earlier, he'd informed him that the men stationed in the dark had all been taken out.

But that wasn't even the main issue. The real problem was that Lucille had poisoned them and lured a bunch of snakes into the cave. Now, about half of their men were affected.

Jasper clenched his jaw and said through gritted teeth, "You've seen him. Give me the Type-K experiment data, and I'll let you go."

"I would, but…" Lucille paused as she narrowed her eyes.

"But what?" Jasper asked.

"Your words are not trustworthy!"

She would've lost her mind if she took Jasper's word for it.

But Jasper wasn't enraged. His green eyes filled with an indifferent look as he smiled, asking, "Then, what shoul

    Five years ago, Lucille, Riley, and Octavius had gotten in trouble with Echelon 103. Because of her mistake, Jasper managed to kidnap the three of them and take them back to his base.That was when Lucille had discovered what a true psychopath really was. She'd always thought she was cruel. But who would've thought someone could be even more brutal than her, to the point that it was maniacal? She hadn't been able to do anything but watch as Riley suffered inhumane torture in her place, all because of the crazy Jasper. Jasper noticed Lucille slowly turning pale as her eyes became bloodshot. He knew his words had stung her where it hurt most. He then added salt to the injury. "Oh, I forgot to mention Octavius' broken leg." He caressed the right side of his face and smiled smugly. "Well, a life plus a leg for this. I think that's worth it!"Lucille suppressed the fury deep in her heart. At the very least, she managed to maintain her level-headedness. She narrowed her eyes an

    Jasper hadn't expected Lucille to have snipers with her. Not to mention, Elara and Mildred were two of the top-notch snipers, having been through intensive training.As the five men in black neared the edge of the trap, red targeting beams appeared between two of their brows before they collapsed to the ground.The other three realized there were snipers around and quickly raised their guns, randomly shooting in the snipers' direction.The next moment, the two men in black widened their eyes as the realization that they had been targeted sank in, only to collapse the next second. The last man standing turned around to flee the trap. Unfortunately, a bullet flew through his head before he could take more than two steps forward.Elara reported, "Mission accomplished, Ms. Lucy."Despite the successful attack, Lucille found the situation strange because Jasper was nowhere in sight. She narrowed her eyes and instructed, "Move. We have to find Jaden and Otto!"Jasper would never let

    "Jaden, where's Otto?"Lucille and Elara quickly found Jaden, but… he was alone."I distracted them away and returned to find Mr. Heldon missing." Jaden seemed remorseful; he had searched the entire area and still found no sign of Octavius.Lucille frowned, fully aware that Jaden wasn't entirely to blame. She understood Octavius' character well and deduced that he must've left on his own accord, given there were no traces of a struggle. "Split up and find him. Elara, come with me. Jaden, take Mildred with you. Remember—do not confront them directly!" Lucille instructed.They would be at a significant disadvantage if they confronted the other party without adequate equipment.The two replied in unison, "Roger that."Lucille was right—Octavius had indeed left voluntarily.He'd known that he would become a burden to them with his condition now, so he'd planned to find a spot and hide. Fate had a peculiar sense of humor; the more one tried to avoid something, the more one seemed t

    Jasper was utterly deserving of being called a madman.Lucille wanted nothing more than to crack open his skull and feed him to the wolves right then and there.Jasper explained, "I'll gladly take the Type-K experiment data off your hands, but for me to let him go…" He pointed at Octavius, who was hanging by the cliff. "I'll do it, as long as you can convince me to."He laughed freely. "Let's play a game. You'll have a chance to save him if you win. Also, whether he can keep his other leg or not depends on you."A glint of cold light flashed in Lucille's eyes, and she shot him a harsh glare. "If you hurt him, I'll make you feel it ten times over, Jasper!"Octavius lifted his head to look at her at that moment, and she coincidentally met his eyes. As soon as their eyes locked, she could feel her heart skip a beat.She recognized that look all too well. It was one she would never forget in this lifetime.Instantly, she shouted at him, "Octavius, you promised me you'd never have th

    To Jasper, every step Lucille took resembled a stomp on his heart. Her gaze, which was fixed on him, was filled with nothing but coldness.Back then, he had indeed fallen for her at first sight. It hadn't been because of her beauty but her boldness toward him.Since he'd been a kid, everyone had avoided him like a plague—until one day, he'd met her. Not only had she not been afraid of him, but she'd also been brave enough to criticize him.Eventually, she'd become the first to defy him outright.No matter how he'd treated or tempted her, she'd remained unfazed and often fought back. Yet, not once had she ever considered him seriously. She'd dismissed any kindness he showed her with disdain.Out of the blue, Jasper began talking about something else. "Lucille, why didn't you ever give me a chance?"His face contorted in a scary manner as he roared at Lucille, "Why are you so good to him? And to Hunter, that bastard! His hands are stained with blood just as mine are! Why do you con

    Ace could feel his face going numb while a stinging sensation spread across it, as if ants were gnawing at him. All of that pointed to the fact that it wasn't an ordinary injury.Jasper hesitated.Lucille said straightforwardly, "Looks like that's all you're worth to him." She directed her cold and sarcastic remark at Ace. Then, she turned to Ronan and tilted her chin slightly. "If so, it's your turn now."She automatically ignored Jasper, while Ronan looked at his superior, waiting for an instruction that never came. Suddenly, Jasper raised his pistol and pointed at Octavius.Panic flashed across Lucille's face, prompting her to take a few steps forward. "What are you doing, Jasper?"Turning slightly to the side, he glanced at her. "I never take threats from anyone, including you!" No one had ever effectively threatened him.Lucille wasn't surprised by his words either. After all, being selfish and ruthless had always been what he'd been best at."What do you want?" A frown f

    Elara quickly followed Lucille.After regaining his composure, Jasper's expression darkened at the sight of Lucille. "Stop her!"His face became even more contorted as he saw the oncoming people in camouflage, roaring, "Lucille, you've fooled me again! Take all of them out—now!"A series of gunshots rang as both parties exchanged gunfire.Lucille had just reached Octavius and had been prepared to pull the hemp rope when another gunshot rang out, severing the rope."No!"She lunged forward, desperately grabbing at the severed rope, but the sudden drop in weight yanked her forward, threatening to make her lose her grip."Ms. Lucy, watch out!" Elara swiftly pulled her from behind before half of her body dangled over the cliff edge.Lucille spoke through gritted teeth, "Elara, pull the rope!" Her abrupt movements earlier had strained her back injury, and her whole body was shaking at that moment.The two used all their might to tug the rope backward. Right when they were about to

    When Lucille saw that Lucas had taken Elara and Octavius away, she finally relaxed her tense body.The determination she had been holding onto shattered in an instant when she saw Spencer. Naturally, she began to feel all the pain at once…"Spence, what do we do with him?" Connor came and pointed at Jasper on the ground.Spencer didn't bother to lift his head. "If he's alive, take him. If not, we'll make his death even more miserable."Connor stayed silent, glancing at the disheveled Lucille. Thankfully, she was fine. Otherwise…A helicopter flew above the cliff at that moment and landed on an empty patch of land. Spencer carried Lucille in his arms and heard her muffled groan.He quickly halted his steps and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"She bit her lip and briefly replied, "Pain."He'd examined her body earlier and found no wounds except on her arm. He'd thought…His gaze happened to land on the scattered wooden sticks on the ground. As if understanding, he quickened his

    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
