When Spencer and Lucille arrived at Orchidstone Garden and drove past the guardhouse, the security guard called out to Lucille politely. "Ms. Johnson, a parcel was delivered for you earlier. The management office asked me to inform you when I saw you so that you can pick it up when you have the time."She smiled politely in return. "Alright. Thanks."She'd forgotten about the chocolates her friend, Moira Norris, had sent her. When the car stopped in front of Lucille's apartment building, Mack said, "We'll collect the parcel for you, Mrs. Layton."Lucille didn't turn him down. "Okay. Thanks."Spencer pulled her into the elevator. Once they entered the apartment, Lucille went to change out of her evening gown into something comfortable.Shortly after, the doorbell rang. She answered the door to see Mack holding a carton."Oh, come in." She stepped aside to make way for him.He entered the apartment. He headed to the living room, where he saw Spencer come out of the bedroom with

Brian guffawed. "Of course! I need to see you."Lucille was lost for words. What was there to see? She couldn't understand these people. Why did they all want to come to Whiteloop City to see her?"I don't come here all the time, Lucy. Why don't you have mercy on me and come see me?" Brian said, pretending to be pitiful.Lucille felt resigned. It wouldn't exactly be nice for her to turn him down since he'd traveled all the way at his age, so she agreed. "Okay."Her response was cool and calm, but it still delighted Brian. "Alright, then! Let's have dinner after I'm done with that piano recital hosted by the Everetts."He glanced at the young man sitting across from him. The latter's eyes were bright as he stared at the old man's phone. The old man said, "Oh, right. Jonathan is here with me.""What?" Lucille frowned.Brian rubbed his nose diffidently before coughing awkwardly. "He knows you're in Whiteloop City. He heard about me coming and insisted on following me. I couldn't do

As for Lucille, she kept a lower profile than Bailey. Since Jane's death, she hadn't made any public appearances. Firstly, it was because the Johnson family was against it. Secondly, it wasn't something she herself wanted.Still, her name kept coming up in these socialites' conversations, all thanks to Sabrina and Lorelei.Bailey snorted. "It's been a while since we last saw each other, Lorelei. It seems you've gotten better at twisting the truth and turning wrong into right."Lorelei's anger surged when she saw Bailey and Lucille. Indignance surged in her as she snapped, "I'm telling the truth!"Bailey would never admit defeat when it came to arguments. "Ha! Sabrina's the one who keeps threatening to commit suicide. What does that have to do with Lucy? What are you doing if not twisting the truth? Or have you lost your mind? Why don't you go get your head checked?"Lorelei screeched, "Bailey, you—""What?" Bailey cut her off. "Oh, I almost forgot. Your mind's so far gone that

There was something captivating about Lucille's icy, arrogant exterior. She curled her lip and said, "As for this piano recital, I wouldn't even have bothered coming if you hadn't kept pestering me."Everyone was stunned by her words. Someone muttered, "Didn't they say Lucille shamelessly wanted to come? Why is she now…"The crowd turned to look oddly at Sabrina, who was now ashen. Lorelei immediately retorted, "Lucille is the one who threatened Sabrina so she could come for the recital! Why would Sabrina beg her to come? You'd realize how ridiculous that sounds if you were to just think about it!"She continued sarcastically, "Who would invite a plagiarizer to attend such a classy recital, anyway?"Her words reminded everyone about what they'd heard earlier. They turned to give Lucille contemptuous looks. She narrowed her eyes, looking unfazed."Tsk. I have a video to prove you guys wrong. The video clearly shows who dragged a bunch of people to Lucy's office to catch her and b

As soon as Sabrina heard that, she happily exchanged glances with Peter."By the way, Mr. Olsen, I have a sister who has also been learning piano since she was young. She also wants to join the National Piano Association and give it a try. Could you make an exception and let her play a piece?" Sabrina looked at Brian with expectation as she gently asked him.Her sophisticated demeanor left everyone in awe. She was good to Lucille and always wanted to get her involved whenever anything good came up. Still, Lucille always gave her a hard time, making everyone think Lucille was somewhat ungrateful. Bailey and Lucille were too far from the entrance to hear the conversation.Soon, everyone gathered at the center of the banquet hall, where a white piano had been placed on the stage.A man in a suit came up on the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are honored to have the renowned pianist, Mr. Brian Olsen, join us at this recital. Let's welcome him with a round of appla
