Chapter 561\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Trudy\u2019s question, Lucius gathered the documents on the table and leaned back into his leather chair. \u201cThanks to you, I\u2019ve uncovered a very valuable piece of information.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trudy sounded confused on the other end. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I don\u2019t understand, Mr. Lincoln.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
An irrepressible excitement gleamed in Lucius\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to. Just collect your reward. A ten\u2013million\u2013dollar bonus will be wired to your account tomorrow. As for the person who killed your mother, don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll find them for you soon enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The news that the little bastard Trudy was hunting was actually Haskell\u2019s younger brother was worth far more than ten million to Lucius. If he could find the boy before Haskell did, he could finally crush Haskell under his heel and become the undisputed king of Regal City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. I trust you\u2019ll find him, Mr. Lincoln. I\u2019ll continue to do my best for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Lucius hung up, Livia set a lunch box on the table and sat beside him. She leaned in, wrapping an arm around his and asking curiously, \u201cWho was that, Lucius? You seem to be in a great mood today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius tossed his phone aside and turned to stare at her. \u201cA woman. What, are you going to get jealous and go after her like you did with Honora?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mention of Honora put Livia on high alert. Larissa had told her that Lucius had already found Honora, which meant Honora must have told him how she\u2019d helped Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius was onto her. Knowing his personality, he wouldn\u2019t have let her off the hook for such a betrayal. Yet he hadn\u2019t exposed her, which meant she still had some use to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had already told her to stand down and just protect herself, but could she really do that by doing nothing? Could she just watch her father\u2019s illegitimate son inherit the company while she was married off to Lucius like a pawn?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. She had to dispel his suspicions, right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you\u00a0<\/p>\n
still angry that I let Honora go?\u201d Livia asked, her expression a mask of innocence as she gently shook his arm. \u201cI only did it because I care about you so much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his cold expression remained unchanged, she pressed on. \u201cYou know how it was. Honora was always one step ahead of me, hailed as Regal City\u2019s most talented woman while I was always second best. You can understand that feeling, can\u2019t you? When I heard you were keeping a mistress tucked away, and that it was Honora\u2013the one who wasn\u2019t even in show business but was always plastering the tabloids with stories to outshine me\u2013how could I not be furious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this, Lucius\u2019s face darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was true. He had initially noticed Livia because of her title as the \u201csecond goddess of\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regal City\u201d The elemal run\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he teamed that Zoltan Palmer intended to arrange an engagement between Haskell and Honera, he\u2019d sought out Livia as a competitive move. He refused to believe that second place was a permanent position. He had poured resources into her career, determined to make her a bigger star than Honora. His fan de had to outshine Flaskell\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, the fianc\u00e9e he had so carefully chosen was betraying him, collaborating with Larissa, a woman who had crossed the Lincoln family\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLucius, I really did it because I wanted you all to myself. That\u2019s why I defied you. Having laid the groundwork, Livia moved to her main point. \u201cThere\u2019s something I\u2019ve been hiding from you. I was afraid you\u2019d be angry if you knew, but if I don\u2019t tell you now, I\u2019m scared you\u2019ll misunderstand me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius frowned but said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia continued, \u201cLarissa was the one who told me you were hiding Honora. I know she\u2019s an enemy of yours and the entire Lincoln family, so I decided to gain her trust and find an opportunity to take her down for you. I pretended to cooperate with her and let Honora go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
