"I think when Linus arrives, we should first ask him whether Selena is part of Spades," Hudson said, glancing at Matthew Leon.At this moment, Koven remained silent. He knew the evidence was conclusive, but he still did not want to believe that Selena was sent by Spades. If this was true, what was he supposed to do? Although he had not been with Selena for long, he already considered her family. If she really was from Spades, he did not know whether to accept her or not. Accepting Selena would be selfish, considering that Spades had sent her to target Lucy and Matthew. However, not accepting her would be unfair to himself.Thinking this, Koven picked up his wine glass and took a long gulp. Hugh patted his shoulder, signaling him to stay positive. To be honest, Hugh could not believe that Selena was an undercover agent either. Selena was quite striking. Without her glasses, she looked even more remarkable, yet she always seemed so simple and innocent...Just then, there was a kno
Gusman Linus paused for a moment. He knew who Koven was. Judging by the look of things, what they wanted to ask him about today was likely related to Selena. Linus fell into deep thought. After all, he had promised Selena that he would fully support her role as an undercover agent around Lucy and Matthew. However, if they were to question him about this, how was he supposed to explain? At the same time, if he did not tell them that Selena was the undercover agent, she would continue working for Spades, which could be harmful to Lucy. Given Spades' ruthless nature, Lucy would not stand a chance."Ask whatever you want!" Linus decided to probe what they knew first.Hudson spoke up, "We know it's an intrusion, but there's something we can't figure out. We want to know if Selena is part of Spades." After speaking, Hudson looked at Linus.Linus sighed deeply, knowing the inevitable had arrived, but he decided to lie. He wanted to gamble on how much Matthew and his group had uncovered
After Charlie finished speaking, he looked at Linus.“What did you find out?” Linus asked coldly.Upon hearing this, Charlie glanced back at Matthew, wondering if he should tell Linus what they had discovered.Matthew nodded at Charlie, indicating that he could share the information with Linus. Surely, Linus did not want Lucy to get hurt either, right? Taking a chance, Charlie nodded back and then turned to Linus."Just now, we found a bug in Koven's pocket. If you think that's not evidence enough, then you should know about the Mermaid Network, right?"Linus nodded."The Mermaid Network was created by Koven himself. When we were investigating Spades before, we accessed Mr. Zimmer's profile, and you were the only one under him. But today, when we checked, there was suddenly another profile—a female.“Not only that, but the profile information, including the age and other details, is identical to Selena Carden. After our investigation, we found out that we hadn’t noticed this bef
Linus took a deep breath and said to them, “Yes! Selena is indeed an undercover agent spy? So what? What does it prove? Selena hasn't harmed any of you yet, right?”Hugh, who was standing nearby, almost laughed when he heard this. He quickly said, “Should we wait for her to make a move, then? By the time she does, it’ll be too late for us to do anything. "We discovered something this morning, and if we hadn’t, Selena would've probably started making a move in a few days. "Linus, you should tell us everything you know. I hope you can think about Lucy. Everyone here, except for Matthew, is a friend of Lucy. Matthew is the one most worried about her right now.”“And Lucy is pregnant. Don’t you think you should do something?” Hudson added.Hearing this, Linus felt as if a wall in his heart had been knocked down. He said, “Yes, Selena is indeed the spy sent by Spades. When Selena and I were together, she didn’t know what my profession was. "Later, when our relationship was discover
In the presidential suite of the Royal Hotel, the entire room was filled with the disgusting smell of sex.Lucy Quinn looked at the two people cuddling with a sarcastic smile on her lips. She clenched her fists because her wedding day was tomorrow. If she had not come over to deliver Timothy Lucas his suit, she would still be completely in the dark about this affair.She wasted five whole years of her youth on that bastard!“Lucy, Tim and I are in love… Please forgive us!” Tears were streaming down Luna Quinn’s ashen face, and she clung to the man while sobbing.Timothy frowned and hugged Luna even tighter as if he could not bear to see her hurt.He patted Luna’s back with a sigh. “Luna, I've told you so many times that you're the one I love. Why are you begging her?"He spoke gently with hints of affection in his voice.His words were like a stab to Lucy’s heart.The next moment, Lucy smirked and said, “Fine, I forgive you!”Luna froze when she heard that, and then she imme
Matthew had a tall nose, thin lips, and arched eyebrows that slanted toward the dark hair on his temples. The contours of his face were flawless. At that moment, his eyebrows were raised, displaying a sort of arrogance and contempt. His deep and brilliant eyes exuded a sharp iciness, making others feel infinitely uneasy.He looked at Lucy's surprised face and continued staring at her until an imperceptible gleam appeared in his eyes.His heart was beating fast.It was the first time in his 28 years of living that he felt something for a woman.His tall figure leaned forward, and his exquisite face came closer to her as he smirked. “Are you attempting fraud?”“You’re the one attempting fraud. I bet your entire family are fraudsters!” Lucy pulled herself together as she cursed at him.Matthew smirked nonchalantly. It was the first time someone ever dared to yell at him, and that someone happened to be a petite woman.He could not decide whether she was brave or just plain foolis
Matthew's lips parted, and he said nonchalantly, “I’ll keep the marriage license with me for now.”Then, he snatched the marriage license from Lucy.Lucy watched the man put aside the document in confusion. Gulping, she asked, “Is your name Matthew Leon?”She saw his name when she looked at the marriage license just now.He shot her a look and hummed in response.“Francis, send Mrs. Leon home.” There was a gleam in his eyes.Lucy blushed when she heard him call her Mrs. Leon.Ignoring the unfamiliar feeling in her heart, she asked, “Will you attend a wedding with me tomorrow?”“Sure.” Matthew got into the car with a smile on his face.She froze as she was not expecting him to agree so easily.Was he easier to talk to now that they had gotten their marriage license?“Get in.” Matthew's deep voice sounded from inside the car.The next moment, Lucy got into the car in a daze. The entire car ride was eerily quiet.After half an hour of driving aimlessly, Francis could not bear
When Lucy was still a child, her parents would ask her to give her dolls to her younger sister because she liked them. They said that she should be nice to Luna because she was ill.Her new clothes would become her sister’s before she even got to wear them.One time, Luna even snatched away an autographed photo of a celebrity she liked.Now, she had taken away the man she loved for five years.Lucy’s heart grew cold at the thought of that.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stopped them from streaming down. She mustered a bitter smile on her face. “Mom, Dad, when did Luna and Timothy get together?”“The year you went to study abroad.” Feeling guilty, Melanie looked away. Lucy’s heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale when she heard that it had been so long since those two got together!Four years ago, she went to study abroad for three years and did not come back until last year.How stupid of her to not notice they had been fooling around behind her back for four yea
