Chapter 411

Zander was taken away by the police officers. A lot of people muttered among themselves while he was on his way to the police department. Back in the CEO's office, Tobias patted Cedric on the shoulder, offering him comfort. "Zander is about to get his comeuppance, Cedric. It's time you let go of the hatred in your heart."Cedric sounded lost when he asked, "Zander said my dad has an illegitimate daughter, Tobe. Is it true?"Tobias sighed and responded, "Look into it, Cedric."Cedric bit his lips gently, and his face turned red with rage. He hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'll be in touch with you later, Tobe." Then, he turned around and headed straight to the address that Zander said.Tobias watched Cedric's retreating figure and couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't expected this at all. Zander might've come up with his convoluted schemes because of a romantic conflict, but he was the furthest thing away from a hopeless romantic. He still poached a lot of bus

Chapter 412

Faith said, "You have to hold his head with your palm and adjust your posture with another hand, Lucy. Let Edwin's back rest against your elbow pit. This is the most comfortable posture for him."Lucy did as she was told and slowly adjusted her posture. She was particularly careful throughout the entire process. She was so nervous that her forehead was covered in sweat. Once Lucy was done adjusting the posture, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, what do you know? It turns out there's a particular technique to holding babies."Sienna responded, "Why, of course. I have the most experience among all of us when it comes to looking after babies, and the most difficult babies to take care of are those born in less than a month. "Edwin wants to feed every two hours during the night. I fed him in a sleepy state every day. Once he finally grows up, he'll learn to walk and cause all kinds of mischief. Things are only going to get scarier once he's three years old."Lucy couldn'

Sienna quickly came out with a stack of design sketches and laid them out in front of Lucy. She said, "Check out my sketches, Lucy. I think they're good, but I can't shake the feeling that something was missing. For the life of me, I can't quite grasp what it is."Lucy took the sketches and studied them one by one. She might've only spent a minute on each of them, but she quickly identified their flaws and strengths. Lucy went through all of them and found that there weren't any signs of her design style. It dispelled the suspicion in her heart. Her pregnancy must've fried her brain. How could she doubt her own best friend for plagiarizing her work?Lucy couldn't help but feel ashamed. She said, "You did very well, Sienna. You can use bolder lines for this particular diamond ring. Here, try amending it this way." Lucy gave her suggestions and pointed out flaws in each of the sketches. Sienna understood everything she said immediately, and she made amendments to her sketches i

Chapter 414

It just so happened that they had to wait for a traffic light. Tobias brought the car to a halt before he looked at Lucy solemnly and eagerly."Back when I was a little girl?" Lucy searched her memories diligently, but she didn't remember anything related to it. So, she said, "I don't think so."Tobias had a hunch that Lucy was the same "Lulu" from back then. However, he had asked her in person, and she said she didn't do anything like that. At that moment, Tobias couldn't decide if he was experiencing disappointment, loss, or something else. Faith, who sat in the backseat, chimed in, "You have to be more specific about the time and day, Tobias. Lucy doesn't have any memory from before she was sent to the orphanage. If what you are referring to happened before that, she surely wouldn't remember it."Tobias' heart pounded again. "Did you lose your memory when you were a little girl?"Lucy nodded. "Yeah. Faith's right. I forgot everything that happened before I was six years old.

Chapter 415

Tobias and Lucy kept Howard and Agatha company in the living room. They chatted for a while, and Agatha felt tired. Then, Howard wheeled her back to her room to rest. After that, Tobias and Lucy also called it a night and retreated to their rooms. The moment both of them stepped foot into the master bedroom, he became clingy. He held her from behind and wouldn't let go. Lucy said coquettishly, "What's the matter, darling? It's very hot today. Why are you clinging to me?"Tobias responded, "I'm touching my babies."Lucy asked, "Can you do it from another position?"Tobias said in a domineering tone, "No." Then, he pulled Lucy into his arms and placed his palm on her belly. He was very affectionate and thoughtful, looking like a loving father.Tobias held Lucy in his arms and bent down before pressing his ear on her belly. He listened to his twins' heartbeats and felt a kick from inside the belly. Tobias said, "You're being mean to your mom again, brat."Lucy looked at Tobia

Chapter 416

Tobias said, "Okay, I will meet Banshee and have her explain things clearly in public."He ended the call. The expression on his face turned serious.Lucy's eyes flickered. She acted oblivious and asked, "What's the matter, darling?"Tobias said with regret, "Babe, I need to settle an urgent matter. I can't spend time with you anymore."When Tobias mentioned Banshee, Lucy knew what was happening but pretended to be oblivious to it. Lucy said, "Go and attend to it. I'll head back once I'm done.""No. Maya is still out there. I'm concerned about leaving you on your own. I'll send you home and attend to my matter after that."Lucy said, "It's okay. I'll call a cab."Tobias insisted. "Let's go. I'll send you home."Lucy pushed Tobias toward the exit and said, "Darling, it's crowded in the shopping mall. Nothing will happen to me. If you're still worried, get a bodyguard to follow me. I'll head home soon before you know it. Go and attend to your matter."Tobias was still concerne

Chapter 417

Miles said, "Calm down, Tobias. Lucy might be in the lift. Perhaps there is no signal on her phone, so you couldn't contact her."Tobias contemplated and said, "Yeah, I hope so."However, he was unsure why his heart was pounding.Tobias thought maybe he was too worked up after finding out Lucy was Banshee.Miles said, "Tobias, I never thought Lucy was trained medically. You've married a good one."Tobias crossed his arms to steady his trembling hands. He said, "Yes. I'm so lucky to have married her."Tobias felt unsettled. He wished he could find Lucy and get to the bottom of it. He got up and said, "Miles, Faith, I need to find Lucy. I'll see you soon." "Okay."Tobias left and drove back to Ripley Residence. He went so fast that his car was practically levitating.Tobias called Lucy several times on his way back, but no one answered. He was getting more anxious as time passed.When he returned home, Howard and Agatha were in the living room.Overcome with emotion, Tobias a

Chapter 418

When Lucy woke up once again, she recalled what happened in the shopping mall and shot up in terror, sitting upright. She looked around the foreign surroundings, and it looked like someone's intricately decorated bedroom.Suddenly, the door opened, and Chad walked in. "You're awake."Chad looked at Lucy with soft eyes. However, Lucy's scalp tingled at the sight of his gentle smile. He looked terrifying to her.She asked, "Chad, when did you get close to Maya?"Chad replied with a question, "Are you jealous?"Lucy was rendered speechless.She cursed him for being a typical, arrogant man.Chad smiled and said, "Since I met Tobias, I ended up being on the nation's most-wanted list because of him. Never did he think I was hiding right under his nose. The most dangerous place is often the safest."Lucy looked at him as she stayed silent.Chad said, "I've thought of getting close to you every day and taking you away, but he is a selfish man to have someone follow you around 24/7.

Chapter 419

Chad had a tentative look in his eyes when Lucy made her request. He looked at her for a long time. Then, he said, "You better not pull any tricks!"Lucy smiled. "What can I do while you buy the materials and tools for me? I won't do anything reckless as long as you don't hurt me and my babies."Chad chuckled. He played with Lucy's hair and said, "Smart."Lucy's eyes turned grim as disgust simmered in them. She couldn't be bothered and turned away.Chad said, "I'll ask one of my lackeys to buy the materials. Give me a list of what you need. It's time for dinner. Eat with me."Lucy intentionally distanced herself from Chad and said, "Please give me a pen and a piece of paper."Chad took a pen and a piece of paper. Lucy wrote the materials and tools she needed on the paper and said, "Chad, please ask your men to bring these things to me by tonight."Chad agreed. "Okay. Let's go. It's time to keep me company."Lucy's eyes flickered as she looked at her bulging belly. Although she

Chapter 420

When Tobias asked that question, his heart was suspended mid-air. He was inexplicably hopeful yet nervous.Finn said, "My contact hasn't replied yet."Tobias sensed the severity of the matter. The man bought all the ingredients to make the Zenith Elixir off the market for an excessive amount of money—he must have had the intention to create it. The person was either a competitor in the field or had ulterior motives.Tobias' thoughts wandered everywhere. He recalled the second half of Lucy's video, claiming she would produce more elixirs to give to those in need.Tobias seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "Ask your contact to be careful not to expose himself. Quietly follow the man, and get back to us with any information.""Okay, Mr. Ripley."Tobias ended the call. He rubbed his temple, his head throbbing in pain. His head started hurting violently for some unknown reason.Miles said, "Don't get too worked up, Tobias. Leave it to the police to find Lucy. You sh
