Chapter 61

Elena's confusion deepened at the revelation, her brows furrowing in perplexity as she tried to make sense of the startling accusation. "Nope, I don't know. I'm even wondering when that happened. Where did you hear that?" she asked, her voice tinged with a note of incredulity as she struggled to piece together the puzzle unfolding before her.

Betty's explanation shed a faint light on the dark shadows that had enveloped the conversation, each word like a jigsaw piece fitting into place to reveal a disturbing picture. The casual chuckle that escaped Elena's lips belied the gravity of the situation, her disbelief masked by a veneer of nonchalance.

"Maybe I'm not listening well. I overheard Sam and Bryan arguing. Sam accused Bryan of threatening to harm her sister, to which Bryan retorted that if she hadn't orchestrated your attack, he wouldn't have uttered such words to her," Betty's words hung in the air, the weight of the revelation sinking in as Elena processed the implicat

    Chapter 62Bryan emerged from his room and was surprised to find Elena standing by his door. "What?" he inquired, puzzled by her presence. Elena absentmindedly scratched the back of his head, her gaze fixed on him."I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't blame yourself for anything. I know I can be a handful, but you don't need to be so hard on yourself. You look kind of ridiculous with that expression," she remarked, her voice taking on a slightly teasing, babyish tone.Bryan's brow furrowed in response. "Who ever said you were a burden to me? You're my sister, and it's my duty to look out for you," he insisted, a touch of protectiveness slipping into his words. Elena beamed at his response, clearly touched by his words.As they stood at the doorway, Elena turned to Bryan with a curious expression.

You aren't the only one here," he blurted out, his irritation palpable to Kingsley and Elena, who exchanged baffled glances at his outburst.Betty abruptly ended her phone call and turned to face Bryan, her expression a mix of surprise and annoyance. "Why are you acting so cold? I was talking to someone. Aren't you supposed to respect that?" she inquired, her tone accusing and expectant of an explanation.Bryan averted his gaze, his frustration simmering just beneath the surface as he let out a scoff."Don't you know the type of words to use with your lover when you are amidst people? Did you also respect us?" he questioned, his tone tinged with reproach and a hint of bit

"What are you talking about, he's just friends, and nothing of such will happen," she replied calmly, her voice tinged with a hint of skepticism.Bryan, taken aback by her nonchalant response, paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to speak his mind. "He seems to like you, I guess from the way he was looking at you," he said tentatively, his voice a bit shaky.Betty couldn't help but chuckle at his observation. She knew all too well of the lingering gazes, the hidden smiles, and the subtle hints that the other guy had been dropping. "I know he's into me, but I don't love him.

    “Did you think that will be possible, she will suspect we are together” Bryan let her understand the risk they are about to take. She scoffed, and stared at Bryan. “I heard you are smart. You can't be this handsome, and tell me you don't know how to handle simple cases like this? I know you are up to the task, that's why I am leaving it to you. I should leave before I get noticed” She said, and stood up, ready to leave. “Okay, I will handle that, but still we have to sign a contract. We have to authorise this. I don't love disappointment at the end. And I have trust issues” He let out, and Jessica was bewildered. “Why are you so difficult? You are acting like a narrow minded person. Did you think this was a plan or what? Did you think I would want to fake marriage just to dump you?” She demanded, and he smirked. “I am human, and it's normal to have trust issues, don't you think?” He asked, and she scoffed “You are unbelievable, so you would think I am trying to make a fool outta

    Ellen’s gaze was fixed on her mother, her heart pounding with uncertainty. Her words lingered in the air, a weight heavy on her conscious mind. She hesitated, her mouth agape as she grappled with the decision to apologize to Bryan, unsure if it was the right course of action."Is that difficult to take in?" Grandma Creston's voice broke the tense silence, her tone laced with a hint of amusement. Ellen let out a sarcastic chuckle, a mix of frustration and defiance evident in her expression."You're joking, mum. That's not happening," Ellen retorted, her reluctance palpable. The thought of apologizing to Bryan seemed inconceivable to her, a bridge too far to cross. The internal struggle reflected in her eyes as she stood her ground, torn between pride and the desire to mend fences."If you can't consider doing that, then I wouldn't be able to help you," she stated firmly, her words carrying a finality that brooked no argument. Her tone hinted at the frustration of having reached an impa

    Bryan's brows furrowed in confusion as he turned to Grandma Creston, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Did you just say that?" he asked, his voice laced with incredulity.Grandma Creston nodded solemnly, her expression mirroring Bryan's shock.

The atmosphere in the room shifted slightly as she broached the topic of the family business, and Mr. Carl raised an eyebrow with interest."I believe it's important to address the future of the family business," Ms. Lisa continued, her gaze meeting each person in the room. There was a moment of silence as everyone processed the shift in conversation, glancing at each other in surprise. The initial topic of wedding preparations had been momentarily set aside."Given that Jessica is your only daughter, Mr. Carl, and with your plans to appoint her as the CEO in the near future, it's crucial for us to consider the long-term strategy and direction of the business," Ms. Lisa explained, her tone steady and composed. As she spoke, the gravity of her words hung in the air, causing a subtle tension in the room as the implications of her suggestion began to sink in.

She called her personal assistant, Rachel, into her office, her mind racing with questions."Rachel, I need to ask you something," Lisa said, her voice low and serious. "Have you noticed anything unusual lately? Anyone suspicious lurking around or asking questions?"Rachel looked puzzled, "Unusual? Like what, ma'am?"Lisa leaned in, her eyes locked on Rachel's.

    Alora's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with skepticism. "So you're just saying that to tell me it's not good, it's not actually your first time, right?" she asked, her tone implying disbelief.Bryan's scoff was dismissive, his eyes rolling in exasperation. "I haven't smoked once. Even though I grew up around people who smoke, I never tried it. I don't hate smokers, but I correct them and advise them to quit if I can. There's no gain in smoking, it only causes harm to the body," he explained, his voice patient and matter-of-fact.Alora's expression turned thoughtful, her eyes softening slightly. "You're being such a calm man. England must have changed you," she said, her tone tinged with a hint of surprise.Bryan's scoff was wry, his eyes glinting with a hint of sadness.

"I regret ever having someone like her as a mother," he said, his voice laced with pain, his lower lip trembling.Bryan stood up, his expression resolute. "I think I have to go. I need to do something very important," he said, his eyes scanning the room before exiting.As he walked out to the balcony, the smell of cigarette smoke wafted through the air, surprising him. He turned to see Alora, her slender fingers holding a cigarette, her eyes gazing out at the horizon. Bryan's eyes widened in disbelief - Alora, smoking?
