Diana held onto Isaac's body tightly like an octopus. Only when she began to run out of breath did she release Isaac, who was dumbstruck.She looked at Isaac tearfully. Her lips were still glistening. Suddenly, she laughed out loud."You must think I'm really foolish." She seemed to have sobered up, looking up at Isaac with a complicated gaze.Isaac frowned and asked, "Do you really like your fiancé?""So what if I do? And what if I don't? At this age, shouldn't people be getting married?" Diana suddenly yelled. She knelt on the ground and began to sob. "I like you, but you have a wife and a child. What can I do?"Isaac hated seeing women cry. He felt burdened, especially since he'd known Diana for so long."Don't cry. I'll send you home." Isaac walked over and patted Diana's shoulder.The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder. Wiping her tears, she glanced at the pitch-black river and said quietly, "I really wish time would stop right now, and the rest of my life could be lik

Seeing the Taylors and even his own parents greet Isaac so fervently, Aiden never thought that there was such a big shot in Cloud City that could make even his father act so courteously.When he saw Diana excitedly grab Isaac's arm, he frowned.Isaac still felt a little awkward, but seeing Diana act like nothing had happened and smile so joyfully, he felt at ease, too.Lunch took place in a private room at the Family Portrait. The room could accommodate over 30 people, and close relatives from both families went inside.In the adjacent private room were Diana's and Aiden's best friends.Meanwhile, Old Taylor and Terence had invited Isaac to sit at the head of the table. The Taylor family was mostly okay with it; they had at least heard of him before.However, the relatives of the Kennedy family didn't understand why.Before they started eating, Aiden tugged on Diana, signaling that he wanted to talk to her outside.Diana walked out of the room. Aiden attentively fixed the colla

The audacity! Aiden snorted coldly and said, "Isaac, the world is so big, and there are so many liars. Surely you can't know all of them, right, Isaac?"Hearing Aiden say those sarcastic words, Diana was already getting upset."Isaac, whether it's real or fake, I would like anything you give me. Aiden, can you sit back down now?" she said, glancing at Aiden.Everyone could tell from her facial expression that she was unhappy.Aiden's mother immediately sent him signals with her gaze and shouted, "Aiden, what are you doing just standing there? Go and sit down next to Diana."Jane didn't doubt for a second that Isaac had given a counterfeit gift. Seeing her daughter get upset, she spoke up, "That's right, Aiden. Sit down. It is our family's honor to receive any gift from Isaac." "Aiden, hold your tongue and sit down," Terence said. How could he question a gift from Mr. Garten?He also glared at his brother. There was so much food on the table; why couldn't he just keep his mouth

Seeing that his buddies were here, Aiden regained his confidence. He stood up and raised his glass, smiling as he walked toward Isaac. "Isaac, these are my friends. They're here to make a toast to you, big shot."He placed extra emphasis on the words "big shot."Terence's heart, which had just calmed down, jumped in his throat again. No one knew a man better than his own father; he knew that something bad was about to happen when he saw Aiden's buddies enter.The few men with buzz cuts all raised their glasses, insisting on toasting to Isaac. Isaac didn't raise his glass in response. He merely smiled at Aiden and said, "You've got the sequence wrong. There's an order when it comes to making toasts. In this room, Old Taylor is the oldest, followed by the bride's and groom's parents. Although I am the officiant, you shouldn't come for me directly."Old Taylor nodded. Mr. Garten was right. What was Aiden up to?Aiden's friends were dumbfounded. They didn't know how to respond to Isaa

Hearing Isaac's words, Aiden and his friends exchanged glances. One of them said disdainfully, "Fine. Then, we'll wait. Let's see what kind of important person you'll ask to come over.""If their backgrounds are not as great as ours, then you can't escape these toasts!" Aiden said haughtily.Isaac took out his phone and dialed Connor's number. He put the phone to his ear and said, "Hey, Connor, were you asleep? If you can, can you please stop by the Maples Hotel? I got something the last time I went to the capital city and didn't manage to talk to you about it yet. I happen to have time these two days."After he hung up, he calmly sat, closed his eyes, and ignored the people behind him.The Taylors and the Kennedys hadn't expected the situation to turn out this way. Jane had already gotten up to run after Diana, followed by Terence and his wife. The rest of them stood around, looking at each other.At the very least, it would take about 50 minutes to get to Cloud City from the pro
