Normally, a designer would never sketch with others present. However, Emily and Sienna were present while Lucy instructed Sasha about what to sketch.The four of them were friends who shared everything, so Lucy wasn't wary of them.Lucy said to Sienna, "I can't lift my hand, so Sasha is sketching for me."Sienna walked to Lucy, hugged her shoulder, and said, "Go on then. I'll stay here with you guys tonight.""Okay."Lucy felt her mood slowly uplifting with Sienna's presence.She was filled with inspiration. Every sketch she instructed Sasha to draw was unique. Sienna's eyes glinted as she watched them work on the side.It was over an hour later that they finished a few sketches.Holding the sketches, Sasha asked, "Lucy, look at them again and see if these need any amendments."Lucy reviewed the sketches and said, "Submit the designs to Ripley Group for a preliminary review. If there is a need for any further changes, let me know."Sasha said, "Okay, no problem!"Sasha kept

Tobias' heart started to palpitate at the sound of Lucy's voice coming from outside the door. He had done nothing wrong, but he was afraid Lucy would misunderstand. So, he immediately covered Maya's mouth and gave her a warning look."I'm showering, babe. Wait a minute."Tobias's voice calmed Lucy's anxious heart. However, she was worried that he was too sick to open the door, so she suggested, "Tobias, Walter told me you were sick. You must feel awful. Why don't I come in and take care of you?"As Lucy spoke, Tobias grabbed Maya in one hand while covering her mouth with the other, frantically looking for a place for her to hide.He thought it wouldn't be appropriate to hide her under the bed.He wanted to hide her behind the curtains but feared she would be discovered. At this moment, Tobias was like an ant on a hot pan. His nerves were frazzled.Maya, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber. She didn't like Tobias, but their situation made it look like they were about to

Lucy grew more suspicious when she heard the noises from the bathroom. Tobias started to become anxious."Tobias, the noise came from the bathroom. I'm afraid someone is breaking in. Why don't you take a look?""Okay, I'll check it out, babe."Tobias sighed in relief when he noticed she didn't suspect him of cheating. He covered her with the blanket and walked toward the bathroom.However, he barely took two steps before Lucy said, "Wait, Tobias. Take a weapon with you in case the thief barges in."Tobias couldn't help but chuckle. His private villa seemed empty, but it was secure. No one without authorization could enter it.Joey must have helped Maya to get in.Tobias' gaze turned coldly as he thought of how out of line Joey was. Then, his eyes softened when he looked at Lucy again."Don't worry, babe. No one can hurt me."As Tobias turned, the smile in his eyes turned into a chilling glare.In the bathroom, Maya was triggered when she heard Lucy and Tobias' sweet exchange.

Maya was terrified of Tobias but knew Lucy was his Achilles' heel. If she could successfully come between them, Tobias wouldn't go against the Hudsons. Otherwise, her time back at home would be a living hell.Tobias was taken aback by Maya's sudden accusation. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with rage. He retorted coldly, "Nonsense! I never did anything to you."Tobias feared Lucy would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't believe her, babe. There is nothing between she and I.""Nothing? Then why am I in your bedroom? And why do I look like this?" Maya scoffed. "Ms. Everhart, he's cheating on you with me. Now, he wants to appear like a righteous man before you. You'd be a fool to believe him!""You!" Tobias was livid.Lucy's head throbbed as she looked at them.She had been shocked when Maya suddenly emerged from the bathroom. She had initially thought that Tobias had betrayed her, and her heart had been in agony.Then, Tobias' persistence had shaken her assumpt

A high-profile man like Tobias could have any woman at the tip of his fingers. However, since he had married Lucy, he had maintained the image of a good man and has kept his distance from women who fancied him. Plus, he only gave his love and affection to Lucy, and Lucy alone!When Maya had accused him, Tobias had been afraid that Lucy would misunderstand him. He had thought she would choose to believe Maya over him and had been disappointed.He had never expected Lucy to have astounding observational skills, and he was pleasantly amazed at how quickly she had found the loophole.Tobias' eyes shone without him realizing it. "Babe, I never knew you had such great deductive skills."Lucy smiled lightly, "I learned it from movies.""Really?"Tobias stared at her intensely, unable to believe what she said.Movies had no basis. How could she learn these skills by watching them? There must be something about her that he didn't know.Maya had never thought that Lucy would bluntly expo

A glint flickered in Lucy's eyes at Tobias' attempt to save their marriage.She didn't respond to it but continued to dissect the question earlier.Lucy said, "Your hypothesis is plausible. You confidently claimed that you never touched her. I started to suspect that it was all a scheme. "But why did the hospital visit's results indicate traces of your body fluids on Maya? Plus, Sasha and my bro—Brett did a check-up, and the results confirmed they were physically intimate as well. "For the life of me, I can't figure it out."Tobias was disappointed that Lucy had avoided talking about the divorce. He thought about her suspicions and said, "Did something go wrong at the hospital?"Confused, Lucy said, "Are you referring to the equipment at the hospital?"Tobias suddenly thought of something and sneered, "It might be a human problem."He had been in the business field for a long time and was way too familiar with such plots.Lucy asked in shock, "Are you saying that the hospita

The next day, Lucy fell from the bed last night and hurt her bone. Tobias left Finn to manage work matters while he personally took Lucy to the hospital for a check-up.He also wanted to investigate the incident relating to the fake reports.The doctor's face turned stern in the clinic when he looked at the results.Tobias anxiously said, "Doctor, how is she? Did her condition worsen?"The doctor said, "Mr. Ripley, Ms. Everhart's condition is stable, but I must remind you to reduce her movements. Otherwise, she would suffer from long-term effects.""Okay."Tobias and Lucy sighed in relief.The doctor continued, "Ms. Everhart, please return for a follow-up in two weeks' time. Then, you will need to undergo rehabilitative physiotherapy.""Okay."As they finished the check-up, Sasha and Emily were already waiting outside. When they noticed Lucy and Tobias, Sasha asked, "How is she? Is it serious?"Lucy shook her head. "The doctor said it's nothing serious and asked me to come ba

Tobias looked at the screen. The surveillance footage showed Joey bringing Maya to the hospital for a check-up. He could string together the entire process through the numerous security cameras.Moments later, Tobias saw a loophole in the footage. He asked, "There. Why did we lose her all of a sudden?""Let's switch to another security camera and see if we've missed out on anything, Mr. Ripley.""Do it, now!"Moments later, the technician said, "This lady finished her check-up around 10:30 pm, Mr. Ripley. She headed toward the restroom after that."Then, she came to a hallway intersection and used the staircase. It was an angle that the security cameras couldn't capture. "She stayed there for at least 20 minutes before she came out."That was ample time for Maya to bribe a doctor.Tobias asked, "Can you check who else went to the staircase in the same window?""Please hold on. We'll check again."The technicians stared at the screen until their eyes became bloodshot. Tobias
