Lucy's eyes darkened as she watched the live broadcast. She turned off the phone and sighed gently. Emily had also seen the entire broadcast. She exclaimed in shock, "Gosh! I didn't see the twist coming at all, Ms. Lucy. I can't believe the Hudson family framed Mr. Ripley. He didn't do anything wrong, but he was berated terribly online. My heart breaks for him."Lucy looked out the window at the moon and sighed again. "Tobias and I are just trying to live our lives as any ordinary married couple does. But not everything in life goes according to our wishes. We're always haunted by such ridiculous scandals."Emily asked, "Judging by your tone, do you feel distressed about it?"Lucy nodded. "Yeah. We've been running into trouble every couple of days. It's as if the more loving we are, the more it bothers them."In the past year that Lucy and Tobias had been together, they had gone through too many hurdles. If today's incidents had happened to any other couple, they might've fallen

The next day, Tobias saw that Lucy hadn't woken up. He wanted to make it easier for himself to look after Lucy. So, he moved his office to the hospital and started working there. Lucy was pretending to be unconscious, but she could hear him clacking away on the keyboard. She couldn't move a muscle, even if she wanted to. Just as she couldn't take it anymore, she heard someone knock on the door. "Come in."Kate entered the ward with a fruit basket. "Hi, Mr. Ripley. I heard that Mrs. Ripley is in the hospital. So, I brought her some fruits."Tobias saw that it was Kate and put his document aside immediately. "You didn't come alone. Did you, Kate?"Kate shook her head and pointed at the door. "I came here with Mom."That was when Millie walked in and bowed awkwardly. "Hi, Mr. Ripley. Kate kept insisting on visiting Mrs. Ripley. I'm sorry for disturbing you two."Tobias turned his gaze to the bed and sighed gently. "It's fine. She's still unconscious. Go ahead and see her."Milli

Tobias saw that Kate was crying and felt a headache coming on. He exercised his patience and said, "Stop crying. I meant it when I said I can't do that."Lucy heard what he said and had an urge to get up to knock him on his head. He treated Kate so coldly that he was freaking her out.Kate continued bawling. "My friends are going to pick on me again." She wiped her tears. Now that Tobias rejected it, she had no choice but to leave. "Wait a minute." Tobias asked, "Do you often get picked on at school?"Kate nodded. "Yeah. They called me a bastard because I don't have a dad."Lucy was at a loss for words. How was it that children these days were this sharp-tongued? She was heartbroken when she heard what Kate said.At the same time, Tobias was also furious and heartbroken. However, he had no intention of impersonating someone else's dad. Tobias held Kate's shoulders and said, "You know I'm a public figure, Kate. Everyone knows Lucy is my wife. What would everyone think if I show

Tobias cast a glance at Lucy, who was lying on the bed unconsciously. He said, "Change it to a video conference.""This meeting is about the second round of funding for the piece of land downtown, Mr. Ripley. The shareholders are fighting with each other over this today. "Half of them think that we should sign the contract with Joaquin immediately to avoid complications down the road. Some of them maintain the stand that they should make a decision after you issue an instruction."This was what happened in large companies—people divided themselves into factions. Tobias frowned and said, "Give me the list of both factions.""I have it here, Mr. Ripley."Tobias took the list and read it. There were more than 20 shareholders. 12 of them thought that the company should sign the contract with Joaquin. Meanwhile, there were only eight shareholders who thought they should make a decision after Tobias gave his instructions.Looking at it, Tobias frowned. Out of the 20 shareholders, 10

Emily racked her brain and couldn't work out the logic behind Maya's actions. "I guess Maya's the only one who knows about it."Lucy asked, "Which police station is she in now?"Emily responded, "She's at Blackford Police Station. The officers are still interrogating her and looking into the case. What's your plan, Ms. Lucy?""Faith has been going to the police station recently. She was quite close to Miles. Maybe…" Lucy's eyes sparkled. "Make some arrangements, Emily. We need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Remember, we need proof!""Alrighty!" Emily added, "This is Joey and Mr. Ripley's parental test result. Also, I have the information about everything Joey did while she was overseas. Lastly, I secured the statement from the midwife who delivered Joey's child."One more thing. This is the paternal test result for Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Ripley."Lucy flipped through the test result, right down to the last page. Tobias and Fiona were confirmed to have blood ties.

"If this belongs to Tobias, I'll just put it on the desk." Like Rhett, Lucy didn't think too much about it, either. She took the report and laid it on the desk. Then, she gazed at Rhett, looking as though she had something to say. Rhett saw through her at one glance. "Just say everything on your mind, Lucy. Why bother biting your tongue?"Lucy blushed when she realized he could read her like a book. "What has Brett been up to lately?"Rhett shrugged. "We set up a few chain hotels at Crestview City this year, but they weren't doing too well. So, he went over there to work on it."Lucy was slightly surprised. The Eberhard family owned hotels in all corners of Clusia. It stood to reason to think that there were a lot of people working for Eberhard Group. She couldn't believe that the CEO had to handle this stuff in person. Lucy wondered if it was because Brett's employees were too incompetent or because Brett was too diligent in his work. Perhaps she'd be able to find out the who

Miles watched the two women through the surveillance camera. He was surprised. The police officers had taken turns interrogating Maya. They had used every interrogation technique imaginable, but she had merely clamped up and refused to say anything. But the moment Lucy showed up, Maya started to talk, as shown on the computer screen."Joey forced me to drug all of you that day. Then, she pushed me to sleep with Mr. Ripley."Miles couldn't stop praising Lucy. "Lucy is wonderful. She made Maya talk with just a few words."Faith patted her chest and said, "Why, of course. Lucy is the most capable person out there."Miles chuckled and said, "You asked for my help to let someone who isn't a law enforcer interrogate a criminal. I'm doing you a special service. How do you plan on repaying me?""Well…" Faith wanted to run away, but Miles guessed her thoughts. He reached out with both hands and trapped her on the table. It looked like he was holding her. Faith blushed immediately. "Ste

Rhett said bitterly, "Will you spare me from jogging, Tobias? It's bad for our health if we run immediately after a meal."A smile crept up onto Tobias' face. However, it was more like a blood-chilling grin. "It'll make me think that you didn't actually eat too much if you're not going to jog. Instead, it looks like you're…"He didn't finish his sentence. He was about to say that Rhett was playing tricks. Rhett was feeling diffident to begin with. Now that he heard what Tobias said, he exclaimed immediately, "I'll jog. Alright?"Rhett asked in embarrassment, "How many laps am I jogging?"Tobias responded in a commanding tone, "50!"Rhett was rooted to the spot. Then, he asked, "What about you?"Tobias responded, "I didn't eat too much. I'll watch as you jog. Go, now. I won't let you off if you skip one lap."Rhett was speechless. Why should he listen to Tobias?He sensed Tobias' authoritative demeanor and followed the latter's orders in confusion. Rhett had no choice but to g
