"W-what do you mean, Mrs Reynolds? Engaged?" asked a confused Arthur. His eyes narrowed sharply as he questioned the meaning of Jill's incomprehensible words. "How could you ask me to marry your daughter at a time like this, Mrs Reynolds?"
Jill positioned her seat comfortably and leaned towards Arthur across the table so that they could be closer. She glanced around as if she didn't want anyone else listening in. "As I said before, Arthur. We can't do anything now but use Camellia. You can make her a pawn. I mean, we can ask her to help us dig up all the information about Reynolds Industries. That's all we can do for now, right?"Arthur shook his head slowly. His appetite was gone in an instant. "No, Mrs Reynolds. I can't accept this proposal. After all, without marrying her, we can ask her to help. She is still your daughter who will obey all your requests, Mrs Reynolds. Why should I marry her?"Arthur's persistent refusal made Jill frown in surprise. She even shook her

"Get out of here now!"Jill's expulsion when Aland, Pete, and Shannon arrived at the Reynolds residence with many vases thrown out and broken made the trio no longer surprised by the messy state of the house.The two bodyguards who walked in front of them immediately rushed to Jill's back in an effort to protect their three clients. Assisted by a device connected to the other two bodyguards at the back, they would act as a shield for the vase that might be thrown.As more strangers came to her house, Jill became more furious. She screamed loudly, like she was possessed by a demon. Her eyes widened as she approached Cobb and Shannon, who stood behind the two bodyguards with their backs to her.Just as Jill was about to reach Aland to slap him as hard as she wanted to make him lose money at the restaurant, the two bodyguards who had his back turned around and prevented her from getting any closer. She widened her eyes and wrenched her hands from the powerful grip of th

"You sure she'll choice, hun?"Aland's question, who was busy continuing his project with Osborne, made him inevitably distracted from the laptop to finish everything faster. He did take the time to look into Shannon's eyes when asking questions. But either way, Shannon felt uncomfortable when Aland no longer looked at her when she nodded in response."Can't you stop for a minute for me, Aland? You've been busy with a lot of business all day long, so is it okay if I ask for a moment of your time or your night long?"Aland stopped typing and quickly saved his document so as not to lose the changes he had been working on for the past ten minutes. He closed the laptop and climbed into bed. "Sorry for ignoring you. I don't understand what women want because I've never been close to the others gender. So, my bad. Really am."Shannon looked down with a reddish face as Aland approached, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Because of that, I won't hesitate to ask for your tim

"What do you mean, Mum?"Jill paced in front of her desk with indecision. Shannon's choice had really rattled her. She nodded her head slowly as she looked at a worried Camellia."Stop biting your nails, Lia! Your nails aren't always hygienic! Do you want to catch a disease when we're filled with a lot of thoughts, like right now? Our immunity can drop drastically when faced with hard choices that can make us depressed! So don't trigger it by acting childish! I don't want to see you get sick when I'm struggling. Do you get it?"Camellia nodded slowly. She bowed her head with feet that continued to tread with indecision. "What can we do now, mum? Both options don't make us safe at all. I mean, why do you have to keep looking for trouble? You should just keep quiet until they're out of here, shouldn't you?"Jill was still pacing restlessly. Her eyes closed for a moment before finally letting out a long sigh as her steps stopped right in front of Camellia. "They're tryi

Camellia was helping Jill sort through some documents in her room when the clock struck eight in the evening. There were still three other large cabinets to sort through in order to find important documents that might be useful to them in the future. But so far, Camellia had yet to obtain the document Arthur was referring to."As far as I remember, it was just put in a blue file. I don't know if Mrs Reynolds replaced it or not. Anyway, when you find a document that you're not allowed to touch at all, or even your mum's eyes are on it and no one is allowed to touch it, I guess that's my document."Camellia was shocked to death when Jill called out to her from a distance. She was wide-eyed, as if she had just been caught helping Arthur get the wedding of her dreams. She looked back, trying to make sure that her mum was hissing only at her.Jill chuckled in annoyance. She, who was also sorting documents from her desk, let out a long sigh. "Why do you have to look back, Lia?

"Did you find my document?"Arthur asked after sneaking into Lia's bedroom, even though he knew it was already past midnight. He soon sat down on the edge of the bed, trying to pry out a lot of information about the past documents that might become his weapon to subdue Jill easily.Camellia smiled softly. Her mouth was clenched shut in nervousness. "I just couldn't find it, Arthur."Hearing Camellia's answer, Arthur closed his eyes, holding back his disappointment. He had given them a room for the night. As much as possible, he invited Jill to stay in the apartment he bought earlier under the pretext that there were still two rooms left. "So you didn't find anything during the five hours you spent helping her sort documents into her room? What about in her bedroom?"Camellia let out a long hiss and shook her head slowly. Her index finger was pointed and immediately placed in front of Arthur's mouth, who had not stopped talking about her fruitless efforts."Shh! L

"What's going on, hun?"Like a thief caught in the act, Shannon quickly closed her laptop. She smiled with a unique look on her face. It was no longer an expression of loving anticipation. Instead, it was an expression of shock. "Are you awake?"Seeing Shannon's unexpected behaviour, Aland did not bother. He smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed. "You work even in the early morning? Is this your way of getting more time with me and the stars?"Hearing her husband's subtle insinuation, Shannon's face turned red. She looked down slowly before finally turning to her husband, who was about to strip. "Are you trying to tempt me to look at the stars now? I think there's still one star left for our morning togetherness. Want to give it a try?"Instead of answering, Aland danced wildly while stripping off his trousers. In just an instant, not only was his body swaying to the beat, but also his sensitive parts were perfectly erect.Obviously,

"They announced a wedding that will be held today!"Shannon's right hand showed her phone. Showing the news coming from the various social media feeds on her phone, to Aland, then to Pete, as if the news was an enormous danger.Instead of being surprised, Aland downed the fruit juice that had been provided. A unique reaction was shown by Pete, who seemed to rush up from the dining table to the living room, switch on the television and then open the news channel. Sure enough, the news about Camellia and Arthur's wedding caused a lot of excitement.Pete immediately turned to Aland, who was still calmly reaching for his dessert. He approached Aland anxiously, before finally sitting on the nearest bench. "Listen to me, Aland. This is not good. I mean, if the media finds out about Jill and Camellia not living here anymore, JF Groups and Reynolds Industries will be affected."Shannon frowned in surprise. She looked at Pete, who was fidgeting excessively. "What's wrong with

Quickly, Jill got up after listening to the recorded voice, which shocked her. Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was listening to.Seeing her mother's sudden change in demeanour, Camellia also got up after gazing at the man she had met discussing the topic of marriage in Arthur's luxurious room. She approached her mother to find out what was going on that was making Jill behave impolitely. "What are you doing, mum?"Jill twisted her head with both eyes, scanning the surroundings. She glanced at the clock that was almost nine. "He's here. Did he ever send someone here? Why do I feel like he knows my movements here?"Arthur, who was sitting on his stool, frowned. He rose slowly, with both eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "What is it, Mrs Reynolds?"Jill moved quickly. She approached Arthur nervously while biting her lower lip as she glanced around. "Aland is here. He knows I'm going to have a press conference about this issue soon. And he—"Jill a
