Lucille stood up but didn't move. She looked up at Spencer with her face crinkled pitifully. She pouted and said, "It hurts, honey. I think I tugged on the wounds on my back; I can't walk now. I need help."

Spencer's anger dissipated when he saw her being coquettish with him. All that was left was resignation and helplessness.

Because of her injured back, he couldn't carry her. He could only hold her steady as they walked to the bathroom.

When they returned, the thick silence that had permeated the ward earlier had dissipated by half.

Since Spencer didn't want to ask about what had happened, Lucille figured she would take the initiative to tell him about it. He helped her onto the bed and was about to return to the couch when she grabbed his hand.

When he turned to look at her, she asked, "Are you mad at me?"

Spencer didn't say anything. She tightened her grip on his hand, afraid that he would pull away and leave. His palm was large and warm.

He glanced at her without saying a

    "I met Reed, Marley, and the others in the Foggy Forest at Sylvania's borders. The ten of us were the only ones to make it out alive, so we formed our team of ten. I didn't stay for long, though. I only returned to Sylvania when I was 18…" Lucille said.Five years ago, the ten of them had built a reputation for themselves near the borders of Sylvania. It had been the messiest and most chaotic place in the world. Crimes were committed daily—robbery, gunfights, drug selling and smuggling, and many others.However, once the ten of them had gained control of the borders, things had settled down, bringing harmony and peace to the place. Everyone had adhered to the rules they had set.Together, they had come to be known as the Phantom-Masked Ten. Whenever they had made public appearances, they had each worn different masks, so no one had seen what they actually looked like. All everyone knew was that there were seven men and three women in the group, and each was good at something.The p

    At the time, Lucille had only been in Jasper's company for a few days. Her first impression of him had been that he was cruel and heartless.But when he'd laughed happily after beating Riley to death as she'd watched, she'd realized he was much more than that. He was also a psycho.She could only watch helplessly as he'd tormented Riley. She'd screamed at him, "I already gave you the notebook, Jasper. Why did you go back on your word?"He'd answered, "Because my hobby is committing murder. Besides, he deserved to die. It's his punishment for refuting me and saying I don't deserve to love you!"From that moment on, Lucille had sworn to herself that she would kill Jasper one day. His so-called love for her revolted her.After that, she and Octavius had been trapped at Base 103 for three months. During that period, Jasper had used Octavius to threaten her into eating with him daily. She'd had no choice but to do it. At the same time, she'd taken the opportunity to find a way to escap

    Shortly after Eunice left, someone informed Ian, who was back in Whiteloop City, about her visit to the hospital.At the same time, Lucille received a call from Dumon. "We have a problem, Ms. Lucy. Something has happened to Jonathan.""What? What happened? Where are you guys now?" Lucille's heart sank when she heard this, and she furrowed her brows."We're still at the charity banquet. I brought him back to his lounge to rest after his performance because we're not done for the night. But he wasn't inside when I returned. "I found him hiding in the bathroom, and he's in a bad state emotionally. He refuses to come out no matter what I say, so I'm not sure what exactly happened. "I had someone get me the surveillance footage of the corridor outside the lounge. I saw a few people enter the lounge while I was gone, but they never came back out," Dumon said.Lucille said, "Keep an eye on him. I'll be right there."Spencer had noticed something was wrong from the moment she'd answer

    Josef Graw said, "No, everything's fine. Lead the way."The server nodded. "Yes, sir. This way, please."…Lucille and Spencer arrived on the ninth floor and headed to the lounge. Dumon was waiting outside. He waved when he saw her and said, "Over here, Ms. Lucy!"He looked worried as he continued, "Jonathan's locked himself in the bathroom."He'd tried everything to get Jonathan out, but…Lucille knocked on the door of the lounge's ensuite bathroom. "It's me, Jonathan. Open the door."He usually did everything she said, but now… There was no response even after she called out to him a few times.Just then, Kent returned. Spencer had instructed him to extract the surveillance footage from the security room. The footage had been tampered with, so Kent had sent it to Abyss to restore the actual recording.After all, Lucille was injured. It wouldn't be convenient to ask her to restore the footage.In truth, the surveillance cameras hadn't captured anything important. It had reco

    Jaden and Beatrice soon tracked down the people in the video—who turned out to be three men and a woman. They also looked into these four and realized they came from pretty powerful families. Still, there wasn't anyone Lucille was afraid of offending.The only problem was that the four people were seated and watching the charity auction. Jaden and Beatrice had intended to charge in there and drag the four out, but it probably wouldn't look too good.They discussed the matter and decided to ask Lucille's opinion. Thus, Beatrice called Lucille. "We've found them, but they're watching the auction on the third floor. Would it be bad if we were to head in there… Oh, okay."When she hung up, Jaden asked, "What's the verdict? Should we head in there right now or wait until the auction is over?"Beatrice said, "Lucy said she'd coming down right now."Uh-oh. It looked like chaos was about to ensue. The auction was probably going to be interrupted.…It was halfway through the auction.

    "Who are you people? Why have you captured my daughter?" a woman screeched as she ran over. She was about to help Bianca up when Beatrice stopped her.She gave Beatrice the stink-eye. "How dare you stop me? Do you know who I am?"Beatrice glanced at her before rolling her eyes. It was as if she was saying she didn't care who the woman was.The guests couldn't help admiring Lucille and the others. After all, the woman wasn't someone any of them could afford to offend—she was Miriam Tross, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sterling family and Evelyn's sister-in-law.Vivian was taken aback by this turn of events. What had happened?She used her identity as one of the organizers of the charity auction to speak to Spencer. "May I know what's happened, Spencer? My mother is the one who organized today's auction, so you can always speak to me if anything has gone wrong. We don't want any misunderstandings."She glanced at Bianca. "Bianca is my cousin, and she's always been obedient and

    Vivian looked at Spencer and found that he hadn't gotten mad at Lucille's words. She even thought she saw a hint of a smile on his face.How could that be? How could someone as outstanding and proud as Spencer allow a woman to order him around, especially when said woman had publicly claimed that he only listened to her?Lucille didn't want to waste her breath on Vivian. There wouldn't be any bad blood between them as long as the latter left her and the people she cared about alone.She looked at the four people kneeling on the floor. They wanted to get to their feet, but Beatrice and the others were watching them. Hence, they got kicked as soon as they moved."Who the hell are you?" Bianca glared at Lucille. If her eyes were lasers, there would be gaping holes in Lucille's body now. "I don't even know you. Why have you had your people capture me?"She'd been spoiled and doted on when growing up, so she'd never been this humiliated. To think these people had forced her to kneel be

    Lucille said, "Let's get started, Jaden. I want them to have a taste of their own medicine—repay them twofold for what they did to Jonathan!"Someone stepped forward to put a stop to the situation. "Hold it."Lucille turned to look at the person. It was Evelyn, whom Lucille had met earlier at the presidential palace. She merely glanced at Evelyn before looking away. It was obvious she didn't care what the latter had to say.Everyone wondered who Lucille and her people were, seeing as they were bold enough to ignore Evelyn, the president's wife. Not only did they have the nerve to cause trouble at a charity auction organized by Evelyn, but they also looked like they didn't fear retribution.No one had ever ignored Evelyn so thoroughly. Aside from Alexander, everyone was polite and respectful to her."Go ahead, Jaden," Lucille said.Evelyn's expression shifted when she saw Lucille had no intention of listening to her. Meanwhile, Vivian was surprised Spencer would allow Lucille

    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
