Chapter 52

Bryan was insistent on not allowing them to take her away. His expression was a mixture of anger and determination as he stood between the officers and the person they were trying to apprehend.

"Wow! You think you can just arrest me based on her order," she exclaimed defiantly, her voice filled with outrage. "She started the violence, I am not going to take this. I am getting my lawyer." She grabbed her phone, fingers shaking in anger as she dialed her lawyer's number. However, before she could finish the call, one of the officers swiftly intervened and told her she couldn't make the call. The tension in the room escalated as the standoff continued and the situation grew more intense. Bryan's resolve to protect her only seemed to strengthen as the stand-off between the officers and the woman showed no signs of resolution.

Bryan's voice was calm and reassuring as he addressed Mrs. Jerrie, seeking to ease her worries. "Mrs. Jerrie, you don't have to worry. I am coming with y

    Chapter 53"Yes sir," she said firmly, her brow furrowed in concern. "I thought I didn't need it. I don't want the money to go to waste, and I also thought I am under stress like you suggested.

We will be back soon," he said resolutely before ending the call.As they arrived at the station, both parties stepped out of their vehicles.

    Chapter 54The detective offered a hasty apology, his words delivered with a touch of tension. "I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't express it clearly. I simply meant to emphasize that physical altercations are inappropriate in a professional setting." He adjusted his demeanor swiftly, adopting a more conciliatory tone. Bryan smiled in response. "We're not intending to reprimand you, just highlighting the importance of thorough investigations in the future." His smile, however, appeared forced, causing a subtle unease among the police officers present.Bryan recounted the incident with a mixture of disbelief and amusement.

Why do you seem so concerned?" In response, she gestured towards Lisa with a troubled expression."It seems she's making arrangements for Sam's wedding without consulting us. Sam is also my grandson, and I can't understand why she is being so secretive and unreasonable about it," Grandma Creston exclaimed passionately.Bryan, sensing the gravity of the situation, walked closer to his grandmother, ready to offer support and address the growing conflict within the family.Bryan, with a calm yet assertive tone, attempted to diffuse the escalating tension in the room by addressing his agitated grandmother.

    Chapter 57"Nope, I think I was angry because he never officially asked me to be his girlfriend, and it happened right in front of his friends," Elena confessed, her voice tinged with a hint of apprehension. The lack of a formal declaration of their relationship status had left a lingering sense of unease, compounded by the public nature of the intimate gesture that had unfolded before their peers.Her admission was accompanied by a nod, a silent acknowledgment of the tangled web of emotions that had clouded her judgment in that poignant moment. The blend of anger and overwhelm echoed in her words, a poignant reminder of the intricate dance of emotions that had gripped her heart."So, did you pick a fight with him?" he inquired, his voice gentle and curious.

Maybe they didn't deserve peace of mind, especially when they seemed intent on disrupting it themselves.Taking a deep breath, Bryan turned away from the scene and made his way back to his villa, the weight of Elena's words heavy on his conscience. Once inside, he decided to bury himself in work to distract himself. But just as he was about to immerse himself in the tasks at hand, a message from Betty popped up on his phone, pulling him back into the present.*Are you free,* the message read. Bryan glanced at the time and realized it was already late, well past bedtime.

She met his gaze with a playful glint in her eye, clearly amused by his concern."We've been practicing hard since morning," she explained casually, a smile dancing on her lips. "We're just taking a short break." His scoff of disbelief revealed his lack of awareness of the break, but even so, he found it difficult to reign in his rising anger at the situation.Watching Betty share a moment of laughter with another guy only added fuel to the fire of his unease.

    Days turned into weeks, and Bryan continued to gain the upper hand, consistently staying one step ahead of Lisa. She was baffled, wondering how he seemed to anticipate her every move. It was as if he had inside information, knowing her plans before she even executed them.Lisa's frustration turned to suspicion, and she began to wonder if Bryan had a mole feeding him information. 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.

    Jessica's voice was laced with disdain. "It's good she left. That woman is the worst being I have ever come across," she said, her eyes rolling.Bryan's scoff was dismissive. "Her game will be up soon. We have to bring her down anyway we can," he said, his eyes gleaming with determination.Sam's nod was emphatic, his eyes bitter. "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? It seemed like a taboo, a girl like her indulging in such a habit. He hadn't thought she'd sunk so low.The balcony was dimly lit, the only so

    Sam's eyes locked onto Jessica's, his gaze filled with a mix of confusion and gratitude. "Yeah, I remember now.

    Bryan's eyes narrowed, his voice firm. "So, when are you returning to Korea?"Ryan scoffed, a hint of defiance in his tone.
