In response to Lucy's request, Anabella had someone bring what Lucy had asked for. In the meantime, Lucy went to the dressing room to change into something else. A short while later, Anabella's lady-in-waiting put Anabella's gown on a mannequin before presenting it to everyone.In high heels, Lucy circled the evening gown, carefully examining it from every angle.The people around her murmured, "This Clusian woman is clearly just putting on a show. I bet that she'll humiliate herself soon."The comments section of the livestream was also lively. Someone had commented, "Isn't that Mrs. Ripley? She already hit the jackpot when she became the wife of a rich man. She should just leave now and stop embarrassing us Clusians."At Eberhard Residence, Brett clicked his tongue. "This is boring. She's just an attention-seeking clown. I'm not watching this anymore."Rhett persuaded him, saying, "Brett, don't leave just yet. Everyone is saying that she'll humiliate herself, but I think she'l
As soon as the woman arrived, the guests present gasped in surprise."Oh my goodness, that's Chloe!""Chloe is Faldoria's top designer. She ranks among the top ten best designers in the world, and her designs are always bestsellers…""Chloe will surely comment on the Clusian's work! This is going to get interesting!"The comments section of the livestream was even more lively. Someone asked, "Do you guys think Chloe will praise or criticize Mrs. Ripley?"Back in Eberhard Residence, Rhett remarked, "Brett, Mom used to be very talented in designing. Don't you think this woman's design style is a bit similar to Mom's? I'm even starting to think this woman is our real sister!""So what if they are similar? She has nothing to do with us. By the way, I wonder if Ann has inherited Mom's talents. We should ask her to try it out when she's back. She might even be better than this woman!"In the palace, Tobias was finally at ease when he saw that Chloe had arrived. He had been afraid th
Lucy was utterly speechless at Tobias' overbearing attitude."Fine. Has your fever gone down?"As Lucy spoke, she instinctively reached out to touch his forehead, only to be startled by the heat. "Oh my god, your fever hasn't gone down at all. Why are you running around?"Tobias quirked a brow, staring deeply into her eyes. "Are you worried about me?" He felt incredibly warm inside. Although he was wealthy, there were few who truly cared about him. Hearing Lucy's words of concern, Tobias felt a wave of emotion in his heart.As Lucy raised her brows, a cunning look crossed her face. "Even if it were a sick animal in front of me, I wouldn't just ignore it. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."Tobias suddenly grabbed the back of her head, his gaze menacing. "Woman, you dared compare me to an animal?" Lucy quipped, "You're the one admitting you're an animal; I never said anything like that."Tobias snorted coldly. "You and your sharp tongue!"As his gaze fell on her red lips
"Ms. Lane, when did you arrive in Faldoria?" When Lucy turned toward the direction of the voice, she realized it was Anna speaking.A look of jealousy and malice crossed Anna's face when she looked at Lucy. Anna then smiled and said, "Can't I come to Faldoria? I had just gotten off the plane when I heard that Tobias was sick, so I rushed over to take care of him—unlike some people who were busy messing around."The livestream of Lucy at the banquet had shot her to the top of the trending charts. So, naturally, Anna had seen everything and was extremely jealous.Puzzled, Lucy questioned, "Busy messing around? Ms. Lane, I don't care what you do, but you can't just say whatever you want. When was I busy messing around?"Anna snorted as Lucy glared at her coldly.The women stared at each other so intensely that it was as if they were trying to burn a hole in one another's heads.Noticing the hostility between Lucy and Anna, Tobias raised a brow.Finn gave him a look as if saying,
Finn was confused. Why did Tobias want him to do that?Noticing Tobias' warning glance, Finn immediately understood his intentions. Glancing at Lucy, Finn prayed for her in his heart.When Lucy heard what Tobias said, she was surprised. "What did you say? You want her to give you a massage? Aren't you afraid of being caught by the media?"Just thinking about their intimate interactions annoyed Lucy immensely.Tobias said indifferently, "There are no journalists here. Besides, it's not like it has to be her. You can be the one who gives me the massage as well."He snorted secretly. He wanted to see how long she could keep her composure and pretend like this was nothing.Lucy parted her lips, but she didn't know what to say. She could only look at him incredulously.If he wanted her to give him a massage, she supposed she could probably do it…Right then, Anna came in and coquettishly said, "Tobias, I heard you have a headache. I just learned how to give massages, so let me help
After Tobias had been kidnapped as a child, he had often been haunted by nightmares, leading to chronic insomnia. The long-term lack of sleep had also led to his frequent headaches.Lucy lay beside him, while his head rested on her thighs. She gently massaged his head with her slender fingers, and Tobias slipped into a deep sleep about ten minutes later.Even though her legs were numb, Lucy tenderly cradled his head and covered him with a blanket. She then attended to herself and washed up. Meanwhile, Chad asked around and found out that Lucy was in this hospital. However, outsiders were not allowed in since it was a royal hospital. Hence, Chad could only wander outside the hospital.After Lucy finished washing up, she heard her phone vibrating. She quickly picked it up. Worried that it might wake Tobias, she answered the call in the bathroom. "Hello."Chad said excitedly, "Lulu, you finally answered my call!""Chad, I was just about to call you that day, but something came up,
"Chad, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lucy's expression turned serious.Chad forced a smile. "Lulu, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."Looking stern, Lucy said coldly, "We're talking about lives here. You shouldn't joke about such matters.""Alright." A glint of cold malice flickered in Chad's eyes. Lucy used to have eyes only for him. Why was she so cold and serious toward him now?It had to be Tobias's fault! Once Tobias was out of the picture, Lucy would be his!"By the way, you said that you found your family. Congratulations on finally reuniting with your parents," Lucy said sincerely. However, she failed to notice the fleeting hostility in Chad's eyes when he heard the word "parents". He sneered inwardly. The waiter arrived with two drinks. Lucy reached for a glass of juice and took a couple of sips.She said, "Chad, I appreciate your feelings, but fate has dealt us a cruel hand. I'm married now, and I'm unworthy of your affection. You should find a b
Noticing Tobias' distrust, Lucy felt a slight pang in her heart.Her eyes dimmed with sadness. "Tobias, regardless of whom I meet, I've never betrayed your trust. What do you mean by questioning me like this?"Had he found out about her meeting with Chad last night?With an inquisitive gaze, Tobias stared deeply into her eyes. His commanding presence made it impossible for her to evade his scrutiny, and even the slightest flicker of guilt in her eyes didn't escape his notice.His heart turned to ice, and it twisted painfully."What do I mean?" Tobias sneered. "You know I don't want to end up like my parents. If you've done something to betray me..."What would he do then?Divorce was out of the question, but his pride couldn't bear the thought of infidelity. Tobias' emotions were tangled at that moment, leaving him deeply conflicted."What are you going to do? Divorce me?"Tobias said, "I'll offer you one last chance."Lucy sighed softly. "Tobias, please hear me out. Last nig
