“Hold on!” Tedmond yelled. “Why are you all acting like this?”Ignoring his question, Melody glanced at him. “I can’t believe I lost to Perseia. Why didn’t you tell me you have a wife?!” she shouted.Tedmond’s brows rose. “A wife? I’m not married.”“Not married?” Melody glared at him. “Don’t tell me you only see her as your baby mama. You can’t just see someone like her that way! She’s the perfect wife material anyone would want!”“You even have a child with her! Why haven’t you used that as an excuse to marry her?!” Kevin bellowed. “You should’ve married her a long time ago! Now, another man might come into her life!”Kyle nodded in agreement. “That’s right! I’m not sure how you’re okay not taking advantage of the situation.”Mrs. Karishin still couldn’t believe it. “If you have a child with Perseia, why haven’t you married her yet? I’m sure you both love each other if you have a child.”Tedmond stared at them blankly. What they were saying made no sense to him. He couldn’t understan

Tedmond wrapped his arms around himself, still feeling uneasy about what had happened. On the other hand, Kevin had removed his phone from the glass of water and was now using Melody’s hair dryer to blow-dry it.He sighed in frustration. Now that the article had been posted, Tedmond knew it wouldn’t be long before Perseia found it and came for them. He glared at Kevin, who whistled nonchalantly, acting like none of this was his problem.After all, the one who would get into trouble was Tedmond. To Kevin, who had written the blog, it was Tedmond who had claimed she was his baby mama.“How could you let it fall into the glass of water?” Mrs. Karishin questioned. “Didn’t I tell you to get a waterproof phone?!”Kevin shook his head, his brows rising in confusion. “Why bring that up now? I’m not interested in getting a waterproof phone. I like this brand and will keep using it, even if I have to change phones countless times.”Melody and Kyle scowled at Kevin at the same time, their expres

Upon hearing her words, Tedmond’s face twitched in irritation at the tone she used to talk to him now that he was in the helicopter. The frown on her face was gone, replaced with a playful smirk.She had recognized him, even after pretending she hadn’t when they were outside the helicopter. Did that mean she played along with his lies to help him, too? But why? Was she going to ask a favor of him or something?If that was the case, he could help, as long as it was something within his power.“Tedmond!” Kevin yelled, loud enough for him to hear. “Are you going to leave me like that?! I got so many clicks from that article, and it could earn much more. Are you going to make me delete it and lose the money?!”Closing his ears, Tedmond’s eyes darted back to Perseia. “We should leave. Now that you know my identity, I don’t intend to reveal it to anyone else.”Perseia grinned. “Alright, let’s leave right away.”Ronald and Harry were still outside with Kevin, who kept insisting on seeing Ted

Perseia stared at him. She had told him not to delete the posts, but he went ahead and did it. She felt like punching him in the face but knew she couldn’t.“Since it’s all settled,” Tedmond said, “drop me off. I can't go along with you all anymore.”Perseia frowned at him. “Our compensation hasn't been met yet. If you want to leave, you’ll have to open the door and jump right out because I have no intention of dropping you off.”“What?” Tedmond asked. “Are you intending to kidnap me?”She shook her head. “Far from it. Since you need someone to act as your baby mama, I have someone who can. She’s only a year younger than you.”Tedmond considered it. Was she making him an offer? And who was she talking about? But since she had taken the initiative to find a person who could pretend to be his baby mama, he had no choice but to accept it.“You shouldn’t refuse,” Perseia added. “It’s compensation for ruining my reputation, even though it will be cleared up later. The person I’m introducin

Persis’s brows furrowed in confusion as she and Tedmond stared at each other. His jaw dropped; he hadn’t expected to see her there. The person who had stood up for him in class was a Damon.That was the last thing he expected. Was she also keeping her identity a secret? From how she behaved in class, he never would have guessed she was a Damon.He wondered if she knew he was and had stood up for him because of that. He shook his head—that couldn’t be the case. He hadn’t even known she was a Damon, even though he’d reviewed her sister’s files.He peered at her, and seeing the same surprise on her face made him feel a bit relieved. She had no idea he was part of the Washington family either.“What are you doing here?” Persis asked, confusion laced in her voice. “And did you just say you’re a Washington?”Tedmond nodded. “That’s right. I’m the new head of the Washington family, and I’ve come to see you after making a deal with your sister.”Hearing her sister mention it, Persis flinched.
