"That's easy, Mr White. I'm just her son-in-law, married to one daughter she loves so much. I may not have done much, but my mother-in-law gave up everything so that her other daughter would not feel neglected. Isn't that the kind of attitude my mother-in-law has always shown, Mr White?"
Instead of laughing and confirming, Ronald White looked at Aland even more intently. His head nodded slowly as he took stock of things. "You know very well, Mr Fischer, how Jill really is. Why are you still trying to cover it up in front of me? We can have an open discussion here. No one will know. It's just us here."Aland looked around the room. For some reason, he felt that Ronald's words contradicted the truth. "No, Mr White. I'm only here to discuss the schedule for the first phase of construction. Besides, I have nothing to say about my mother-in-law, even if it's just the two of us. If you have no problem with the proposal, then fine, I'll assume you approve it even if you haven't rea

The Emerald Hotel to be flooded with many flashes of light. There were many journalists and reporters ready to ignore the many moments of the rich business executives and the invited rulers. One by one, the luxury cars stopped to drop off the guests, who continued to arrive.From a distance, Aland and Shannon, as well as Pete, who was in the same car, the luxury car that James had owned for a long time, had stolen more attention. Just as the three of them disembarked simultaneously, the lightning-like flashes that filled the sky continued to arrive, along with the snap of each camera held by the paparazzi in front of the famous hotel.Ignoring the many questions from the media crew, Shannon, who continued to be bombarded with questions because she was not an important part of her sister's wedding party, continued to walk in without answering a word according to Aland's instructions.Similarly, Aland kept his mouth shut when reporters asked him about being a guest, not a

In her white dress, Camellia's face glistened in the light from the photographers waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. Camellia's beautiful smile combined with the sparkling colours of her wedding dress that radiated happiness caught the attention of all the guests. Shannon was no exception, who gaped in disbelief."Oh, my god! She really looks stunning in that long, flowing dress!"Aland nodded in affirmation, though his gaze was directed at Shannon alone. Even his smile was only to be shown to one woman, namely the wife who had accepted all the things that had stuck in the past.Feeling noticed, Shannon glanced at Aland briefly. It was as if she did not want to lose the precious moment of seeing her beautiful sister on stage heading towards where the groom was waiting on the main stage. "Don't be silly, Aland. Why are you staring at me when the bride and groom walking towards the main stage?"Aland grabbed Shannon's hand to hold it before gently kissing the b

"Please let me go. I can go by myself!" Dwyane pleaded weakly. Not because of her overwhelming fear, but because her goal had already been achieved. Unfortunately, the guards were reluctant to let her go.Jill also came out angrily, following the guards who took Dwyane out of the hotel hall for the wedding from an unknown side entrance. Her feet moved quickly with both eyes ready to take in the surroundings. Just as the guards released Dwyane outside the room, Jill delivered a hard slap.Slap!Dwyane was slapped. Still being held hard by the guards, she received a second slap on the other cheek.Slap!"How dare you try to incite Arthur, huh? You weren't even invited here! Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself for trying to ruin someone's wedding? What if the bride is you? The party is ruined, everyone's mood is ruined. That's what a wedding is to you, huh?"Dwyane did not rebel. She knew she was wrong. It was just that seeing Arthur marry another woman made he

"What are you saying? How could the surveillance camera footage out of the blue disappear? No one else would have gone there to retrieve it because no one knows about this incident except—"Jill's sentence was not finished when she recalled the expression on Aland's face as he brought Dwyane from her tantrum. She squinted and turned around quickly and sharply. Her eyes looked at Arthur, who had remained silent since seeing Dwyane's presence there.Seeing her mother's movements, Camellia fell silent. She got up and started pulling her mother, who was staring at her husband mad. "Mum, listen to me. You remember he was constipated? He was having a bad day. Even in the middle of the show, when mum asked the guards to pull Dwyane out of the hall, he had it again, mum! Please keep your anger out of Arthur!"Jill threw Camellia's hand away angrily. Her eyes stared intently before finally pointing her finger in her face. "Don't you remember the relationship between Arthur and Dw

"What took you so long, Aland?"Pete asked anxiously. Earlier, he had been pacing in front of the lobby after making sure Aland was no longer in the press conference room because the wedding party had been abruptly stopped before its time. He approached Aland, who had just come out of the lift on the right side of the hotel lobby, in a hurry."I just felt bad when I remembered Arthur's expression earlier. That's why I checked upstairs. What's wrong? Why do you look so worried?"Aland's question left Pete confused. He opened the car door before finally getting in and immediately nodded to the bodyguard sitting behind the wheel. "Shannon fainted shortly after arriving home. And I took her to the hospital because her heart rate suddenly weakened. That's why—"Hearing the news of Shannon's unconsciousness, Aland widened his eyes. He tapped the shoulder of the bodyguard, who was now driving the car with Pete hard. "Speed up the car now!""Calm down, Aland. I get her t

Aland fell silent with his eyes blinking rapidly. Unnoticed, his eyes began to water and heat up at the same time as his nostrils flared to contain his explosive emotions.Aland's tears overflowed. He was completely lost for words. He just sobbed out his joy as he looked down and rested his head on his clasped hands.Shannon nodded slowly and rubbed Aland's head gently. Her head kept nodding as she saw how happy Aland was that he kept crying on the edge of the bed. "Yes, Aland. You are going to be a dad. Although he is still very young, he will soon meet us in his most adorable state."Aland nodded in affirmation. He stroked Shannon's flat stomach before lovingly kissing his wife's forehead. "My bad, Shannon. I'll work harder. I will show him, our Aland Junior, that I am a dad who loves him so much, even though I grew up without a dad's love."Looking at the scene in front of him, Pete sobbed. He wiped his tear-drenched old face as he turned to leave the room where S

"What did you say? You mean you're taking back your words? You're asking me to return home in just twenty-four hours? What do you really want, huh? You just wanted to enter my room and check it out, didn't you? Then what did you find that made you retract your words, huh?"Jill's anger on the other end of the line made Shannon clamp her mouth shut tight. She glanced at Aland, who was holding his hands up, trying to get a phone to address to his mother-in-law. But she refused quickly."I haven't even checked, mum. I just want to preserve Reynolds' good name. That's why, I want you to come back home and lemme leave the house. I'm sorry if I made you angry, mum."Aland nodded in front of Shannon while clasping his wife's hand. "Don't let her know why. Because if she does, she'll most likely try to hurt you. Because all she wants is wealth. Whereas with the birth of your son, if something happens to you, the Reynolds fortune can only belong to our son."Hearing Aland's s

"But why?"Arthur's surprised question as he and Camellia looked at the message Jill had sent after lying together in bed. In a huff, Arthur got up as he considered. He looked at Camellia, who was also looking at him curiously."What's wrong? Who sent the message?" Camellia also sat up to see the message Arthur got just before falling asleep. And how surprised Camellia was to see a message from her mother that she had never imagined. "Shannon left the house to be re-inhabited by mum? What kinda of joke is this?"Arthur shook his head slowly. He looked at Camellia, who was about to get out of bed, then pulled her hand not to rush to blame the choice her mum made. "Where are you going, Lia? Your mum left a while ago. Maybe she called us just to tell us about the same page.""I have a bad feeling, Arthur. I need to catch up with Mum before she gets home."Unfortunately, Arthur tightened his grip even more. He pulled Camellia's hand to sit back on the bed. "What's go
