"Mr. Gale is showering, Ms. Lucy," Phoenix said on the other end of the line.Lucille wasn't surprised by her answering the phone. No other woman but Phoenix could get close to Ruben. She said, "It's fine. Speaking to you is the same as speaking to him."Phoenix didn't understand that. Lucille got to the point and said, "Did you guys demand a lot of money from Spencer when he asked The Grid to search for me?"I remember telling you guys not to let anyone know my whereabouts, which means The Grid wouldn't have accepted the job. Why did you take so much money from him, then?"Phoenix was taken aback. "Uh… I think you'll have to ask—"Lucille cut her off. "Don't tell me you don't know what happened, Phoenix."Phoenix could sense the iciness in her tone. She knew what Lucille was like, so she said, "Mr. Gale has forbidden us from telling you, Ms. Lucy."She wondered whether this was considered a betrayal of Ruben's trust."Why?" Lucille asked.Phoenix was briefly silent. "Mr. Gale

"That won't happen. Spencer won't find out as long as we don't say anything," Lucille said. "Besides, no one will dare punish you with me on your side."She was perfectly capable of driving and had faith in her skills. It was her body, and she knew it best.Bethany considered the matter. No, she couldn't do it—she didn't dare take the risk. It didn't matter whether she was punished or not. She believed Lucille would defend her, but what she was worried about was Lucille's safety. She couldn't joke around with that."You should still take me along, Mrs. Layton," Bethany said. "I promise you I won't tell boss about where you're going. Let me tag along so I won't worry about you."Lucille knew Bethany was on her side when she saw the determined look in the latter's eyes. "Alright, then. Start driving.""Where are we going?""Tempest Casino."Bethany started the car and drove out of JM Corporation's underground parking lot. Meanwhile, Spencer, who was supposed to be in a meeting,

Chapter 553

Boris left Zachary and Bart behind.Bart asked, "Will Boris agree to sell us 50% of the casino's shares, Mr. Jonas?"Zachary took a long drag of his cigarette and blew out a mouthful of smoke, concealing half his face. It added a sense of mystery to him. He said lightheartedly, "Maybe."He hadn't expected to see Ruben in a place like this. As far as he knew, the latter didn't have a gambling habit. So, he was probably at the casino to do something. And Boris had left after Ruben had arrived…Zachary's eyes glinted with a hint of mystery and intrigue. After a while, someone who surprised him even more appeared at the casino. Wasn't she supposed to be at home?He glanced at her again before pulling out his phone and calling Spencer. The latter only answered after several rings."Guess who I've just seen at Tempest Casino, Spence." The first thing Zachary did was leave Spencer hanging."Spit out whatever you have to say." Spencer evidently wasn't into the guessing game."Ruben Gal

"Are you thinking of going there alone again?" Ruben already knew what Lucille's plan was. He continued in exasperation, "When are you going to stop this bad habit of acting alone? I don't even know when you picked this up!"Lucille lowered her eyes without saying anything. Her eyes gleamed ruthlessly. She subtly took a deep breath after a brief silence, then said, "After Riley left, I guess."That took Ruben aback. Then, he slapped himself for bringing up the subject. He'd killed the conversation. He knew Riley's death was a painful subject to Lucille.None of them knew what had happened that year—not even Octavius, who'd been there with them. All he knew was that Lucille and Riley had been taken away together. Then, Lucille had returned alone.Octavius had told the rest of them that Lucille had become a woman of few words from that day onward. She'd refused to talk about what had happened between her and Riley, and they hadn't pushed her.Lucille gave Ruben a sideways look. "It'

So, did this mean Zachary had been worried for nothing?"No, something's not right here," he said. "Since when has Luce been friends with Ruben Gale? It's not like you don't know what he's like."Spencer was still as cool as a cucumber. "She has every right to befriend anyone she wants. I can't interfere with that.""When did you become so generous?" Zachary was nonplussed by his words. "Aren't you jealous? That's Ruben Gale, you know. He looks good and comes from an influential family. He's also the head of The Grid."Spencer asked in return, "Are you saying I can't compare to him?"Once again, Zachary was rendered speechless.Spencer was only this calm and composed because of what had happened with Corey. It was true he didn't like any men being around Lucille, but things were different if they were his "brothers-in-law".As far as he knew, Corey and Ruben were good friends. So…He didn't want to act rashly this time in case it led to yet another misunderstanding. More import

"So, he knows I'm here?" Lucille asked.Of course Zachary knew who she was referring to. "Yeah, he does. I told him about it."He was telling the truth. Besides, he didn't want them to misunderstand each other. "I told him to come, but he refused. He said he wouldn't interfere with your social circle."Lucille believed him. Spencer had always given her freedom and his complete trust. He would get jealous but also knew how to control himself. He knew when it was the right time for jealousy and when it wasn't.Zachary's curious gaze traveled between her and Ruben. For once, he became as eager for gossip as Ethan. "How do you two know each other, Luce?"Since he'd already run into them, Lucille had nothing to hide. She was about to answer when Ruben spoke up, sounding sarcastic. "What's up? Are you feeling jealous or envious? God knows where you were when she met me."Everyone fell silent at that. This was Phoenix's first time seeing Ruben so sarcastic. He was rather… childish.S

"Don't worry, though. The competition will still go on as usual. Here's the plan…" Lucille whispered a few things to Matilda, which calmed the latter down."Alright, then. We'll follow your plan," she said. "With me around, you can do whatever you want. I'll clean up the mess if anything goes wrong."She paused. "No, that's not right. No one would dare do anything to you even if I'm not there to clean the mess up."Lucille knew Matilda had many more things to do, so she didn't linger and left after a while. In the car, Bethany asked, "Should we head home now, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille thought about it. "Let's go to Creekside Villas."Bethany didn't question it. She drove out of the hotel's parking lot. She noticed something amiss when they were halfway to their destination. "Someone seems to be trailing us, Mrs. Layton."Lucille had been resting her eyes. She opened them at Bethany's words and glanced in the rearview mirror. Then, she said, "Shake him off. I have faith in your skil

Chapter 558

Lucille and Bethany soon arrived at Creekside Villas, but Lucille didn't get out of the car. Bethany saw her looking glum after hanging up the phone. It was rare to see her like that. "Is anything wrong, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille looked at her and asked, "Why do you think Ian is so insistent on finding Eunie? Why doesn't he want to let her go?"Ian was even willing to use Moore Group's shares as part of his wager. If it were true that he didn't have feelings for Eunice, why was he doing this?There was no telling who would win the bet, but his willingness to put Moore Group's shares on the line showed how serious he was about the whole thing."I think Mr. Moore has feelings for Ms. Lennon, Mrs. Layton," Bethany said.Lucille raised an eyebrow. "How can you be sure about that?"Bethany bit her lip hesitantly. "I heard about something once. It seems Mr. Moore Senior objected to Mr. Moore marrying Ms. Lennon, but Mr. Moore insisted on it. He and Mr. Moore Senior even got into a huge f

It was such a wondrous feeling."The baby usually only kicks me at night. Looks like it made an exception today because it knew you were here," Eunice said with a smile.She and Lucille chatted for a while. Then, Lucille asked, "Are you sure you won't tell Ian about this, Eunie? You're just going to drag this out and keep this from him forever?"Eunice briefly fell silent. "This is all I can do since he refuses to sign the divorce papers."She sighed. "It's only for two years. It'll pass soon enough."Lucille knew what she meant by that. She was still determined to go through with the divorce. "Can you bring yourself to let him go?"Eunice turned to look at her, her smile relaxed. "So what if I can't? There will never be a place for me in his heart."For a moment, Lucille didn't know what to say. She caught a hint of bitterness in Eunice's eyes before the latter looked down at her belly. "The first time I asked for a divorce, he came to Whiteloop City to look for me. At the ti

Chapter 560

That night, Bethany went to report the information she'd dug up to Lucille. She handed the latter an envelope and said, "This is the information on Ms. Sage you requested, Mrs. Layton."Lucille sat cross-legged on the couch in the living room. She took the envelope from Bethany but noticed the latter holding another. Bethany continued, "Please go through this one first."She stood there and waited. Soon, Lucille frowned. Bethany asked, "Is anything wrong?""They're half-sisters?" Lucille asked."Yeah. You didn't know that?"Lucille was taken aback. No, she hadn't known about Sage and Eunice being half-sisters. She'd always thought they shared the same parents. The information indicated Sage had only been two years older than Eunice.Sage's mother and Carson had divorced when Sage had only been one. A year later, Carson had remarried and started a new family. It turned out there was a story behind the Lennon family's relationships.The information indicated that Sage had always b
