"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,

"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, 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

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

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
