Jill blinked softly, trying to make excuses for questions that might be asked by the journalists summoned by Aland. Her smile never ceased to widen because she knew that this news would make her even luckier if she got it right.
"Ah, you're right. I should have brought it here. But really, I forgot not to bring it here. I think I left it at home. How about talking about this at the family dinner tonight?"Aland was still expressionless. He nodded slowly before finally turning to Jill, who still had her hand on his arm. "How about telling them that Reynolds Industries is not actually yours, Mrs Reynolds?"Hearing Aland's request, Reynolds' smile faded. She swallowed hard as all the journalists within earshot were so curious that they could not stop peppering her with unimaginable questions."What does Mr Fischer mean, Mrs Reynolds?""How could Reynolds Industries not be yours?""If you don't own it, then why are you the chairman?”

Shannon, who had been bombarded with questions from reporters and journalists, had just finished holding a press conference on her switching partners of life. Before leaving, Shannon reiterated a few things."Aland and I have never met before. But we've known each other since we were toddlers. Maybe that's why we have such a strong bond. Thank you for your time."Shannon stamped off the main stage and went into her dressing room behind the stage in the famous JF Groups ballroom. But she was surprised to see Arthur standing at the far end of the room.Slowly, Shannon glanced around. Unfortunately, she found no one there. There was no Pete or Aland that she could rely on. All journalists and reporters had already left the seats provided for them."What are you doing there, Mr Fischer?"Shannon remained standing at the door without taking a step forward. There were one and many things that made her hesitate. Especially when no one else knew

"When are you going to stop being crazy, huh?" asked Jill after slapping Arthur angrily. The two were still outside the area police station when Jill vented her anger appropriately."I just hate it when I hear her keep mentioning that they have had a stronger bond just because they've known each other since they were toddlers. I hate what she says because she's said the same thing to me before, Mrs Reynolds."Noticing Arthur snapping, Jill twisted her head. She gave Arthur a sharp look and twisted to get into the car parked nearby.Arthur understood. Even without speaking, he knew Jill was asking him to get into the car, even if it was only with a gesture. He obeyed Jill's wish and got in hurriedly."You should have restrained yourself and killed her at home if you hate her so much. Why did you have to do it in a crowded place and make a scene? It's lucky that there are no journalists and reporters left! Otherwise, the matter would have been more

The clock had already struck eight when Jill arrived at the church car park. She entered hurriedly after meeting Camellia, who was waiting for her beside the church."What are you doing here? People can see and recognise you!" Jill pulled Camellia away briefly to touch up her make-up."I was just nervous when I found out mum wasn't coming. What about Arthur? Is he okay?"Hearing Camellia's questions that were always focused on Arthur, she widened her eyes and let out a long hiss. She shook her head to emphasise to Lia not to repeat the same thing again."From now on, you will not mention that name outside the house, Lia. He will go as far away as he can for the next few months. And you will keep your mouth shut about this fact from anyone who asks. Did you hear me, Lia?"Camellia was silent. She nodded her head slowly before following behind Jill's back, who was ready to enter the church area that was already filled with many invited gues

Aland made no expression as Jill continued to corner him. Instead of being upset and angry, he turned to face Jill fully. Also, his eyebrows were raised to show an uncommon expression than before."What are you saying, Mrs Reynolds? I'm sorry I can't believe this. But should I tell this to everyone just as I reminded you of your blessing after fulfilling your conditions?"Suddenly, Jill swallowed hard. All the surrounding guests turned their heads at the same time, making her even more uncomfortable. She smiled briefly before giving Aland a questioning glance."Yes, you know, don't you? I no longer have any enormous gifts for Shannon regarding her wedding day." Jill paused her sentence, then looked at Shannon, who was now also looking at her. She waved her hand as if she was calling Shannon from a distance. "So I took another initiative and discussed this with my son-in-law."Shannon smiled and stepped closer to Jill and stood on her left side. Sh

"Aren't you listening to me, Lia? Didn't I tell you there would be no wedding while it's not safe? Are you pretending to forget or were you deaf from the start, huh?"Being yelled at in such a way made Camellia's independent face turn deathly pale in an instant. She blinked quickly and shook her head, not understanding her mum's remark about the condition not being safe."You were saying before my condition improves, weren't you? I think that's a good idea even if I haven't fully recovered, mum. I can party safely and comfortably, and I can also sit back and relax with beanbags that can be provided in each corner so that I can—"Camellia hadn't finished her sentence when suddenly Jill threw a nearby pitcher that shattered into hundreds of pieces of glass. Not only was she shocked to death, Camellia's knees buckled so much that she fell to the floor in fear."Can't you stop thinking about marriage? What's in your head right now but wedding plans th

"Are you getting crazy? Are you trying to rob me?" asked Jill with a glare. She, who had been sitting on the living room sofa, got up angrily. Even her eyes were red. It was as if she was ready to explode at any moment.Camellia, who was sitting nearby to watch, grinned. She really did not expect that Shannon had changed so much from what she remembered. "Completely unexpected."Aland enjoyed his drink provided by the maid when he arrived. Then he got up and tried to invite his mum-in-law to make a toast amidst the anger that was about to explode. "My wife is not robing you, mum. We're just trying to honour a promise you made to us earlier. Is that wrong? You said it yourself. We didn't ask for it, right?"Jill laughed incredulously. She chuckled, then looked away to stare at Camellia who had returned to her original stance with her hands up in the air, as if to say: you see how cunning they are?"It wasn't us who asked, did you say? Really? Shoul

"Lemme help you, Ms Reynolds—"Aland had not finished his sentence when Shannon had first turned her head with a sharp gaze. He stammered for a moment, then scratched his unsteady head."Sorry, babe. I'm just not used to it."Shannon went back to cleaning her make-up in front of the dressing table in the room as Aland awkwardly opened his shirt. Every now and then, Shannon's tail lights up, trying to steal a glance at Aland's muscular body. Who would have thought that she would stutter because she was shocked at the sight of Aland's mesmerising chest?Hearing the bottle of facial cleanser Shannon dropped while holding it, Aland twisted his head. He ignored the unbuttoned shirt to come closer. "What's wrong? Are you okay, hm?"Shannon blinked quickly. Especially when she saw Aland's chest in front of her eyes. She swallowed hard as she tried to turn her attention elsewhere. "My hand just feels be drained. I just didn't expect this day to c

"What are you doing, Aland? We're going to be late!"The commotion at the Reynolds' house made Jill and Camellia, who were already seated at the dining table, turn around quickly. Both of them were waiting for Shannon to come down the stairs without a second thought with a mug of hot chocolate.Aland, who was following behind Shannon's back, came down at a faster pace. All the while, his hands were busy putting on his suit as he passed Shannon, who was busy with a call.Jill and Camellia had looked up triumphantly as they almost reached the last staircase rushed. They smiled happily at the thought that their plan would teach Aland and Shannon an excellent lesson.Camellia had even glanced at the phone she had set up to record everything from the best angle, using her tripod light in the room.Unfortunately, Aland pulled Shannon up the last flight of stairs before Shannon's feet stepped through the thousands of shards of transparent flower
