Tobias and Lucy got into the car. His phone rang when they were on their way to the palace. He realized that Joey was calling him, and the blissful smile on his face vanished instantly, only to be replaced by a cold expression. "Hello."Joey spoke in a seemingly concerned tone, "How are you holding up in Faldoria, Tobe? I heard from Finn that you're having trouble acclimatizing over there. You're already done with your business there. Maybe you should come home sooner—"Tobias frowned. His attitude and tone were very cold. "Get to the point."Lucy sat next to him and heard Joey's voice from the phone. She noticed his expression getting colder and reached out to hold his hand affectionately. It was as if she was giving him warmth wordlessly. In a matter of a second, Tobias' cold heart was filled with warmth by Lucy's small gesture. He turned his head sideways and flashed her a smile. Lucy smiled back at him. Back on the phone, Joey said, "Um… Here's the thing. Your dad and I ha

Lucy was speechless. Then, she looked at Chloe, and her eyes were filled with iciness. Chloe lifted her chin and gave Lucy a taunting look. Tobias understood Chloe's intentions and shot her a cold warning look. His gaze was so blood-chilling, it was as if the devil himself was staring. Chloe was so intimidated by Tobias that she took two steps back. "Please explain yourself, Mrs. Ripley. Did you actually plagiarize Alicia's design when you altered this shoe?""Exactly. You're just a socialite. There's no way you could come up with a design style so similar to the nation's lead designer. You must have stolen her design!"Anabella was infuriated immediately when her shoes were involved in plagiarism. "How do you plan on explaining yourself, Mrs. Ripley?"Lucy sneered. "They're pulling things out of thin air, Your Majesty. They accused me of plagiarizing Alicia's design, but do they have evidence to back up their claim?"The onlookers exchanged glances. Chloe exclaimed, "Of c

The reporters at the scene were quick to broadcast the news live. The comments left by the viewers in the live stream were also very gripping. The first viewer wrote, "I would've settled in my role as a rich man's wife if I were Lucy. Why did she have to establish herself as a talented lady? She has gone ahead and gotten into trouble now!"The second viewer commented, "They kept saying Lucy stole someone else's work, but I have yet to see concrete proof. Where the heck is it?"All of a sudden, Chloe exclaimed, "I have more evidence!"Everyone at the scene gasped, while the discussion in the livestream became more intense. Tobias looked at Chloe coldly. "Your days are numbered!"He was about to deal with Chloe, but Lucy held his hand all of a sudden. She gave him an affectionate and assuring look. "Don't worry, darling. Let me handle her."Tobias saw the confidence in her eyes and chose to believe in her. "Okay. Go ahead and do what you have to. I have faith in you."Lucy felt

Anabella's eyes sparkled. "I made myself clear back when I signed a contract with you guys, Mr. Ripley. I wanted a one-of-a-kind design in the world. "If we ran some verifications and confirmed that the shoe's design is a stolen work, it's perfectly reasonable for me to press charges against Ripley Group!"Ripley Group was hugely important to the Ripley family. It also provided jobs for countless people. If something bad really happened to it, it would cause massive economic turmoil in Azureville.It was an extremely serious matter.Light flashed in Tobias' eyes. He had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. He mustn't let his company land in hot water with his next response. What Anabella said sent everyone into an intense discussion. The livestream became a trending topic. People everywhere around the country were watching it. Back at Ripley Residence, Joey said angrily, "Damn that Lucy Everhart. She's a jinx who only knows how to bring trouble to our family. What should

Everyone knew that Lucy modified the design of the shoes Anabella was wearing. They were also aware that the design sketch in Chloe's hands belonged to the contemporary famous designer, Alicia.How could Lucy claim that they were both made by the same person?Lucy had revealed such earth-shattering news that the crowd couldn't process it for a good while.Lucy gave Tobias a worried look. She wasn't worried that her alternate identity was blown. Instead, she was worried about exposing the truth about the shoes Anabella was wearing. She wanted to keep it a secret from him, but it didn't seem possible anymore. At first, Tobias heard what she said and was shocked as well. Then, he harbored a bold suspicion in his heart. His heart started pounding as he stared at Lucy intensely. What if Lucy was actually…"I'm sorry, darling. I've kept a secret from you for a long time." Lucy looked at Tobias. Her eyes were brimming with guilt. He held her hand. He sounded heartbroken when he sp

Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief. The old man in front of her was in his 60s. He was a widely respected figure in the design industry. It wouldn't have been an exaggeration to say that he was a pioneer.He was none other than the legendary Theodore Rowland.Theodore was a Clusian, but his designs had created waves across the world. Every single design he made was nothing short of masterful. No one had been able to surpass him to this day.They could choose not to trust what Lucy said, but no one could question Theodore's credibility. Moreover, someone as highly esteemed as him was shaking hands and hugging Lucy the way an old friend would."Mr. Rowland! Um…" Chloe asked in a surprised tone, "Do you guys know each other?""More than that." Theodore patted Lucy on the shoulder and said, "Alicia also goes to the Amethyst Design Academy. I'm her senior.""What's the deal with Amethyst Design Academy?""You don't know? There's a mysterious academy in the design industry that goes

Nightfall Academy was a world-renowned design academy. Every year, the students paid a whopping 500 thousand dollars. However, that didn't stop it from having at least over 1,000 students. That wasn't just it. Alicia raked in at least 100 million dollars every year. Top that off with the income she got from Nightfall Academy, Lucy was more than a wealthy lady. She was downright a multimillionaire.Tobias was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions in a matter of a second. In the past, he'd thought of himself as the domineering CEO. It was his duty to dote on his wife. Little did he know that Lucy was such a big shot. An urge to impress her sparked within him."What do you mean you married up, darling? Didn't we get married because we love each other?" Lucy giggled. It was a sly grin. She asked, "Did you use to think that you settled because I'm not as wealthy as you were? If that's the case, perhaps I should have—"Before Lucy finished her sentence, Tobias covered her lips and scolde

The next day, Tobias looked at the woman sleeping soundly next to him. He planted a kiss on her forehead. His voice was deep and hoarse when he spoke. "I'm off to work, babe."Lucy responded with a hum. She rolled over to the side and slipped under the blanket to continue sleeping. Tobias saw it and smiled lovingly. Lucy was the one who'd aroused him last night. In the end, however, she'd cried and asked him to stop. They'd gone at it the whole night. She must've been so tired that she didn't want to wake up.So, Tobias tiptoed out of the room. He relayed an order to the maid before he left. "If Lucy doesn't wake up in the morning, prepare some breakfast and take it to her. Then, stay there until she eats it.""Understood, Mr. Ripley."Then, Tobias went to his office for work. He started a video conference. "We have secured sufficient funding for the land development downtown, Mr. Ripley. The construction has commenced as well. We are moving onto the next round of funding.""
