Lucille was dumbfounded by Lila's words of advice.

The graceful and elegant Lila of all people had such a vivacious personality beneath it all, and now she was even teaching Lucille how to torture her son.

A slight twitch tugged at the corners of Seth's mouth as he watched them. He was amused by their audacity.

"Mother dearest," Seth teased, arching an eyebrow, "aren't you afraid you'll lead Lucille astray and have Spence coming after you?"

It was only upon hearing his voice that Lila looked up at him with puzzlement in her eyes. She asked, "What are you doing here?"

Seth paused and then ran a hand through his hair helplessly. Had she only just noticed his presence? After all, he was quite the handsome fellow, wasn't he?

"Wait, hold on. You haven't even met Lucy. How do you know she's your sister-in-law?"

Seth had just returned from abroad the day before, hence Lila was confused as to how he could have possibly met Lucille before that.

Seth casually replied, "We met yesterday i

    After lunch, Spencer and Lucille took Marie back to the sanitorium. As they were leaving, Lucille received a call from Bailey.Bailey sobbed uncontrollably, which sent a jolt of worry through Lucille. She'd never heard Bailey cry before. Unable to understand her clearly, Lucille quickly asked for her location, and they hurried over.Lucille's hands were tightly clenched, and her worry turned into panic while her body was tense. Spencer tried to comfort her as he sped up. "Don't worry, everything will be okay."With Spencer by her side, she managed to relax a little. It took Spencer half an hour to reach Ivory Hotel.As soon as the car stopped, Lucille jumped out and dashed toward the hotel's entrance.Spencer noticed that she was wearing high heels and got worried that she might twist her ankle. So, he quickly got out and caught up with her in a few strides."You're still in heels. Don't run. Everything will be fine. Ivory Hotel has excellent security, okay?" Spencer said, his ey

    Bailey stammered, "I…"Was Lucille really her best friend? She wasn't that thick-skinned."By the way, you said… you did it willingly. You must know the guy, right?" Lucille asked. "And didn't you go to some event with your mom last night where she set you up with someone?"Lucille stared at her in confusion. How had Cynthia's matchmaking attempt led to this?"I snuck out later and had some drinks at the bar on the first floor of Ivory Hotel," Bailey admitted sheepishly. "And he's someone you know.""What?" Lucille's eyes widened.What did she mean by that?Lucille's mind raced. She didn't know a lot of men, and the ones she did couldn't possibly be in Whiteloop City."Who is it?" Lucille narrowed her eyes, pressing for an answer.In the living room, Spencer was on the couch. He still had an air of authority and elegance. When Lucille walked out, he looked up and immediately noticed the fierce determination in her eyes.No, it was more than that. It was rage."What's going o

    Lucille was somewhat curious about why Bailey had suddenly started defending Lucas. She truly couldn't figure out what Bailey was thinking.Lucas showed up on time half an hour later.Lucille's first impression of Lucas was that he was the epitome of a courteous and refined gentleman. She hadn't expected what lay underneath his handsome exterior to be an irresponsible man.The first thing Lucas said upon entering was directed at Bailey. "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"Bailey was dumbfounded and speechless.Lucille was also slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that the seemingly refined Lucas would speak so directly. No wonder he was a doctor; he probably had much thicker skin than the layman Bailey. In this sense, they actually seemed quite well-matched.Moreover, from the moment he appeared, he was calm and didn't show any signs of panic.Seeing Bailey's dazed and adorable expression, Lucas guessed that she was fine. When he'd left in the morning, she'd still been sleepin

    "This is the second one after Zing from Crimson Gate," Kent replied.Mack suddenly had a bold guess. "Do you think Zing's the person from yesterday?"Kent immediately dismissed the idea. "Zing isn't stupid. Do you think they had nothing better to do than come all the way here just to install a firewall for us? They didn't even charge us. Good things never happen without a reason. There has to be a motive."Mack was only voicing a random thought. Kent wasn't wrong. Unless Zing was incredibly bored, there was no reason for them to do something so absurd. Even if Zing were bored, they wouldn't do something this ridiculous.An hour later, Spencer brought Lucille to an estate on the outskirts of Whiteloop City.Lucille was already stunned before the car even stopped. Through the window, she saw a sea of blue flowers outside.It took her a long time to regain her composure. She turned to look at Spencer, who gently said, "Let's get out of the car."They then stood side by side. "Do yo

    Not far away, Mack and Kent, who had been following them, knowingly turned away when they saw this scene.The couple was kissing in broad daylight after all!"Who would've thought our boss could be so romantic?" Mack remarked, crossing his arms and sighing.Kent, equally moved, added, "Yeah, who would've guessed?"Mack clicked his tongue. "Boss has given his lifetime's worth of gentleness, romance, and even his bottom line to Mrs. Layton.""By the way, when was this flower field set up? Why didn't I know about this? Who did the boss get to do this?" Mack asked with a frown, puzzled because Spencer usually entrusted him with all tasks, big or small.Kent snickered. "Looks like you've fallen out of favor.""You don't seem to be in a better position yourself."Kent was at a loss for words."What are you two mumbling about?" The familiar voice of a man suddenly came from behind them, prompting them to turn around."Seamus?""What are you doing here?"Seamus Lent, one of Spencer

    "How about you sit on the swing? I'll stay beside you." Spencer's voice, warm as sunlight, reached her ears."Okay."Before long, crisp and delightful laughter echoed through the yard.Lucille was smiling widely as she gripped the vines of the swing with both hands, swaying slightly back and forth in mid-air, occasionally bursting into joyful laughter.Spencer stood behind her like a guardian angel, his eyes filled with indulgent amusement as he watched her slender and graceful figure. In his deep, dark eyes, there was a profound sense of satisfaction, as if he had everything he could ever want in the world.To him, Lucille was his entire world. When she was happy, he was happy. He would protect her throughout her life and give her all his love."Spencer, could you push a bit higher?" Lucille called out as she swung in the air."Sure," he responded immediately.At that moment, she seemed to have opened her heart and was playing like a child, completely enjoying herself. Lucil

    "Scarlett, mind your manners. That's the head of the Layton family's personal vehicle," Peyton Young sternly reprimanded his daughter, Scarlett Young.Scarlett's face stiffened when she heard the title "head of the family". She swallowed nervously and immediately fell silent, her eyes filled with fear.The title "head of the family" evoked various reactions—awe, apprehension, fear, and, for some, even covetousness.Soon after, they saw a woman stepping out of Spencer's car, prompting everyone to show expressions of astonishment.The tall and slender woman was dressed in a brown overcoat that revealed a glimpse of her elegant legs. She also had on a pair of white high heels. As she turned around, people marveled at her exquisite and icy beauty."Mom, w-who is she? How come she's getting out of Spencer's car? I thought the head despises women getting close to him!" Scarlett shakily asked in a dumbfounded and shocked tone.Myra Layton herself was taken aback. "This is my first time

    The boss?Lucille's eyes reflected a trace of shock when she keenly caught the key phrase."Mrs. Layton, Mr. Layton is the owner of LY. The clothes here at Layton Manor are all made by LY," Liyana explained.Liyana and the other two women had only recently learned of Lucille's identity. Besides their initial shock, they'd been astounded, but their excellent professionalism had allowed them to quickly process the information. Just like Zaytun Pavilion, the mysterious owner of LY was an enigma.How many secret identities did this man have? Was this high-end clothing brand just another one of his whims?Lucille sat quietly, letting them work on her. She was finally ready, half an hour later.In the downstairs living room, Spencer sat with his legs crossed, his head slightly bowed as he reviewed documents on his phone. Like a king on his throne, he looked dignified and elegant.His three assistants stood as straight as poplar trees behind the couch.The faint sound of high heels

    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
