Chapter 411

Spencer asked, "Who are you with at the cafe?"Lucille could already imagine the look on his face as he typed those words out. It was a simple question, but it was enough to convey his feelings.A hint of slyness flitted past her eyes, and she answered, "With someone who can make you jealous."As soon as she sent that, he replied, "Who is it?"The dominance in this question was evident. At the same time, Sabrina's voice fell on Lucille's ears. She looked up at Sabrina, her expression cold and uncaring. "Get to the point, please."Sabrina was incredulous when she saw how calm Lucille was. She ignored the warning in the latter's tone and said, "I said that I got into the finals of the International Perfumery Competition."Lucille merely said, "You just don't understand human language, do you? I'm not here to listen to you spout nonsense. Can you get that?"Sabrina felt humiliated. She thought Lucille would be surprised or resentful upon hearing the news, but the latter was so calm

Sabrina stopped beating around the bush. She'd already achieved her first goal in seeking Lucille out, anyway. She smiled creepily and said, "You've been trying to find out the truth about your mom's death, right? She didn't actually die of an illness."Lucille's expression remained calm when she heard that, but her gaze turned cold. Sabrina didn't want to go into detail on the matter. Instead, she continued, "If you want to know everything, come to this place at 2:00 pm tomorrow. Someone there will give you what you want."She pulled a piece of paper from her bag and placed it on the table. She warned, "Remember to be there alone."Lucille looked down at the paper and committed the address to memory. In the next second, Sabrina took the paper back and tore it up, throwing the pieces into a nearby trashcan. She knew Lucille had a good memory and wasn't worried the latter would forget.Meanwhile, Spencer couldn't sit still after not receiving a reply from Lucille. He called her;

Everyone realized who Lucille was when Spencer approached her. They sat at their seats, and their ears perked up as they prepared to enjoy a display of affection.The few times Spencer and Lucille had made the trending topics, they'd looked so sweet one could get diabetes by looking at them. More importantly, they looked so good together that they were almost celestial.As Spencer had approached them, Sabrina had subconsciously sat straighter, wanting to show off her best side. She tried to look as elegant and classy as possible.Unfortunately for her, Spencer hadn't even spared her a glance. Still, his earlier question to Lucille seemed to make him break away from his identity as the CEO of JM Corporation. He looked at Lucille with such tenderness, but his demeanor was cold."Nice to meet you, Mr. Layton. I'm—" Sabrina mustered the courage to greet Spencer.Before she could get any further, he shot her an icy look, making the rest of her sentence get stuck in her throat. She even

Lucille was full of surprises, though. She smiled and asked Spencer, "Would you choose between a sea of flowers or a lone rose, Mr. Layton?"He didn't even hesitate. "You're my only choice."The crowd felt like Lucille and Spencer oozed love and affection whenever they were together.Sabrina's jealousy and resentment bubbled to the surface, but she held herself back. Still, her hands, which were at her sides, clenched into fists. She clenched her jaw so tightly that it was trembling; she didn't realize this, though. Sometimes, no matter how good a person was at hiding their emotions, their body language would still belie how they felt.After that, she grabbed her bag and fled the scene, looking almost disheveled. She couldn't handle the embarrassment anymore.…Spencer and Lucille walked back to JM Corporation together. On the way, he kept holding her hand while Mack and Kent followed them silently.A few minutes ago, Spencer had just up and left the office without a word to t

Seamus stepped forward and said, "Mr. Connor is back, sir."When Lucille heard Spencer had a guest, she said, "I'll leave you to it. I'll just hang around somewhere."However, Spencer said, "No, you don't have to. You can stay and meet him. It's Connor, Uncle Sylvester's son."Connor Layton? Sylvester's son? So, Connor was Yves' older brother? He wasn't here to stand up for Yves, was he? Speaking of which, she hadn't heard anything about Yves since their last meeting.Spencer only needed to glance at her to know what she was thinking. He explained, "Connor's mother is Uncle Sylvester's first wife. It's been a long time since his last return."Lucille understood what he meant. She asked, "Are you older, or is he?""He's the same age as Seth." Spencer didn't release his grip on her hand as they headed to his office. When they entered, Lucille saw a man with a demeanor similar to Spencer's seated on the couch. So, this was what Connor looked like.Connor looked up and said, "Hi, Sp

"None of our people were left alive. They were even disembodied," Connor said. He stopped there. Spencer's expression immediately darkened, and his gaze became frosty.To this day, Connor couldn't forget what he'd seen. Even if he was used to dabbling in both legal and illegal matters, he couldn't describe the cruelty he'd witnessed. Losing several million dollars worth of gold wasn't a small matter, but the worst part was the cruel treatment the men had experienced.He'd investigated the matter for several days but had failed to find anything besides what the coin represented. Rumor had it that whenever anyone from Echelon 103 carried out their missions, they would leave such a token behind to tell the world they were behind whatever had happened.Echelon 103's members were that obnoxious and wild, perhaps because they were vagabonds with nothing holding them back.Five years ago, someone mysterious had destroyed Base 103, making the organization disappear for five years.

After leaving Spencer's office, Lucille went to the lounge in the pantry. She'd only used Mack as an excuse to leave.She was worried about Echelon 103, which she'd heard Connor bring up before leaving the office. Why had it suddenly come up? It looked like she needed to look into the matter. No matter what was going on, she didn't want Spencer to have anything to do with the organization.She made a call, which took a while to be answered. Hunter sounded pissed on the other end of the line as he said, "Who the fuck are you, disturbing my sleep? Are you—"Lucille frowned and cut him off. "It's me."Hunter was immediately jolted out of his groggy state when he heard her voice. His eyes widened, and he sat up in bed. Then, he asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?""How's your investigation going?"Hunter knew what she was asking about. He ran a hand through his hair, feeling annoyed. Still, his tone and attitude remained relatively amicable. "It hasn't even been a week, boss. Would you

At the time, Lucille had answered without hesitation, "I'd take you to the hospital to get your head checked. Something's probably wrong with it somewhere."It was an answer that suited her personality. Later, she'd said seriously, "It's not a good thing to have feelings for me. I'm used to being alone, after all."How could Hunter not understand what she'd meant? She'd meant that she'd never reciprocate his feelings and that it was possible they would end up not even being able to remain friends.And so, he'd joked, "I was just kidding. Why are you taking me so seriously? I can't even stand you as a friend, let alone a lover. You're a magnet for trouble, and I hate trouble."After that, he'd never brought up the subject again.…Lucille had hung up on Hunter, but it wasn't because she was mad at him. She'd wanted to refute him, but he'd made a valid point. This matter with Echelon 103 was indeed troublesome, and she'd yet to think of the perfect strategy to deal with them.She

The car drove past an iron gate over six feet tall. Then, it pulled over at a parking lot that looked even bigger than seven or eight basketball courts combined.That was beside the point, though. The point was that there were two helicopters parked nearby. There was an image of something similar to a tiger on them, but it wasn't a tiger.Lucille couldn't help finding the image familiar. She seemed to remember someone showing it to her before but didn't get the chance to recall where she'd seen it before Spencer said, "We're here. Let's get down."He got out of the car and held out a hand to her. She placed her hand in his and got out. She looked around the place, noting that it didn't look like a place of residence or a tourist spot.Instead, it seemed like the secret base for an organization. There were barbed wires around the perimeter, and they were probably charged with electricity. There were also surveillance cameras at every corner.She turned to Spencer and raised an eyeb

Lucille fell silent. She wondered whether the problem really was that complex. "One more question, then. You guys don't know who damaged the microchip, right?"If they knew Zing was the one who'd damaged the microchip in the first place, they wouldn't be asking her to repair it. Who would be silly enough to ask the person who'd done the damage to fix it?Ethan asked, "Wait, how did you know that? You're right, though. We haven't managed to find out who did it."At his words, Lucille knew what she had to do. "Alright, then. Take me to the place. I'll see what I can do."She looked at Spencer, sounding as humble as could be. Spencer took her to the sixth floor, after which they passed through door after door, all of which looked high-tech.After around ten minutes, they arrived at a brightly lit area. Only one sound could be heard—the tapping on keyboards.There was a gigantic screen before them, which displayed a 3D map. Clusters of red dots flashed on the map.Each person sat be
