Thanks to Tobias' flirting, Lucy blushed, feeling her heart racing. However, when she heard his confident words, she asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure that you'll never have an extramarital affair?"A dark look flashed across Tobias' eyes. But then, he averted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "I'm a man of my word."Lucy refused to believe that a man would actually refrain from cheating.Even so, she had caught sight of the slight changes in Tobias' gaze. She felt as if he was hiding something.Just then, Tobias' phone rang."Hi, Grandpa."Howard said, "Tobias, our family members have heard about your marriage with Lucy. Your parents will be coming to Ripley Residence tomorrow, so come over and bring Lucy with you."At the mention of his parents, Tobias had a dark look in his eyes. Then, he said indifferently, "Got it."In an instant, he seemed to be shrouded in cold air.Lucy keenly sensed that something was off with him. She opened her mouth to ask about it.But on sec

Tobias and Lucy looked in the direction of the voice.The person who had spoken up was a woman in a fisherman's hat and a mask. Part of her face was covered, but she had pretty eyes. Lucy felt like the woman looked familiar, and she wondered if she had seen the woman before.Lucy asked, "Do you know her?"Glancing at the woman, Tobias said with a cold look in his eyes, "Anna, aren't you worried that you might appear in the headlines if you come here?"Anna walked up to them and took off her mask.She gave Lucy a faint smile, but she was suppressing the jealousy in her eyes.Lucy had met various people before, so naturally, she noticed Anna's expression.Anna extended her hand toward Lucy. "Hi, I'm Tobias' girlfriend, Anna Lane."Girlfriend?Lucy wondered if Anna was here to confront her head-on."Hi, I'm Tobias' wife, Lucy Everhart."Lucy shook Anna's hand. When they shook hands, Anna suddenly gripped Lucy's hand tightly as if she were going to break it.Lucy discreetly r

More than a decade ago, the kidnapping at Cloud Peak had caused a huge commotion because the criminals had kidnapped two children from rich families at the same time. But in the end, only the boy had managed to escape.That same year, Lucy had been rescued by the director of an orphanage, and she had also lost her memories of the past. However, she had heard about the kidnapping from the director. Back then, when she had heard the news, she had felt her heart aching as if it had been pierced.At the mention of the kidnapping case, Tobias' gaze darkened considerably. He had sealed away his memories of that girl and avoided mentioning her for a long time. He had thought that he would be fine now, but talk of the kidnapping still caused him pain. Anna said, "Ms. Everhart, do you know about the Cloud Peak kidnapping case?"Lucy nodded. "I grew up in Cloud Peak Orphanage. The incident was a shock to the whole country, so of course, I'd heard people talking about it."Tobias rais

Lucy's heart churned with uncertainty. As she waited to hear his answer, she couldn't shake off the fear creeping into her heart. Even she herself wondered the reason for her conflict.Tobias pulled the car over and pondered the question. In truth, he had never properly thought about his feelings for Anna. He had known Anna for over a decade. When he had been kidnapped, she had stalled to give him enough time to escape. Despite their shared history, they hadn't officially become a couple until three years ago. Yet, the years spent apart as a long-distance couple had strained their relationship."Perhaps I did love Anna before." Tobias finally admitted it after contemplating it for a long time. He wouldn't have pursued a relationship with Anna if he hadn't felt something. However, he realized that his affection for Anna might not have run as deep as he had thought. Lucy felt her heart sink at his reply as a surge of jealousy bubbled within her. "It's a shame things didn't wor

"What the hell is wrong with you? You've never forced me into anything!" Lucy exclaimed in horror. She used to be heartbroken at the mere thought of Chad, but now she only felt fear in his presence. When he attempted to hug her again, she hurriedly pushed him away."It's been years since Alistair broke us apart. I'm already married to someone and expecting his child. We can never go back to the way things were before!" Lucy attempted to reason with Chad, but he refused to believe her words."You're lying. You must still resent me for giving up on you." As he spoke, Chad reached out to grab Lucy. Terrified, Lucy quickly retreated a few steps. "You're scaring me, Chad! This isn't like you!" Though she felt distressed by Chad's mad behavior, she reminded herself firmly of her marital commitment. At the same time, she couldn't help wondering how the cheerful boy she had once known had turned into a madman. Chad stepped forward intimidatingly. "Let's go home, sit down, and have

The next morning, Lucy was startled awake by the sound of her phone ringing. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Sienna calling. "What's wrong, Sienna? Why are you calling me so early?" Lucy groaned sleepily."Get up, you lazy bum! You're all over the headlines, and now the whole internet is cursing you!" Sienna exclaimed urgently. Shocked, Lucy quickly searched the news and noticed a headline reading, "Mrs. Ripley's Late-Night Rendezvous with Mystery Man". Upon clicking on the article, she saw a picture of Chad pestering her from last night. The paparazzi had twisted their midnight encounter into a suggestive narrative, claiming they had a close relationship and even stayed the night together. Swayed by the sensationalized lies, everyone was cursing Lucy in the comments."This is absurd! I never stayed the night with anyone!" Lucy seethed at the false portrayal. "We know the media's love for exaggeration. Just explain everything to Tobias. I'm sure he'll take your sid

Caught off guard, Lucy widened her eyes in shock as Tobias bit and sucked at her lips. She gasped in pain and tried to pull away, yet all she could do was endure until Tobias vented his anger."Is this about the pictures? Are you feeling jealous?" Lucy asked curiously once Tobias released her.Tobias smirked coldly. "Why should I be? I have no feelings for you or whatsoever. Here's a warning—if the paparazzi ever catch you in another scandal, you're not getting away with it!"Lucy couldn't help feeling a pang of dejection at his words. She had thought his aggressive kiss had been driven by jealousy, but it turned out he was more worried about saving his own face. "Don't worry. It won't happen again," Lucy mumbled glumly.Tobias silently started the engine and drove off. Throughout the journey, neither of them uttered a single word as they sat in brooding silence.After a tense half-hour drive, Tobias finally pulled over in front of Ripley Residence's gates."Welcome back, Mr. T

"What's there to see? After all, you bought all those things with Tobias' money. You're just trying to change the subject from your divorce." Joey sneered contemptuously. "Don't say that, Joey. It's the thought that counts," Howard sternly refuted. Although Tobias was the head of the Ripley family, Howard's authority remained unquestioned. No one dared to challenge his word.As Joey shot Lucy a hateful glare, her resentment for the latter grew. Zayne, too, viewed her with prejudice and thought of her as a gold digger. "Just take a look at your gifts. Regardless of whose money was spent, it's Lucy's thought that counts," Tobias stated."Suit yourself. It's not going to change the fact that you two are getting a divorce." Joey fumed as the maids began unwrapping Lucy's gifts.Upon recognizing the antique painting in the box, Howard exclaimed in excitement, "Is this the landscape painting by Leonardo Montoya?"Lucy nodded with a warm smile. "Tobias told me that you're a fan of ant
