"What?" Hazel asked again, wanting to ensure that Glenn's words earlier weren't just her delusion.Glenn smiled at Hazel's innocent reaction; he wouldn't mind repeating it a hundred times as long as he could see her innocent face staring at him with her round emerald eyes."Hazel Walsh, will you marry me?"If Hazel had been dumbfounded earlier, then this time, her reaction would have been different. After ensuring that her ears didn't mishear Glenn's words, her eyes responded by shedding tears.Glenn was naturally confused by Hazel's reaction.‘Is she rejecting me?’‘Of course, we don't know each other yet.’‘Is this too fast? Does she need more time? Or is she no longer interested in me?’‘Or maybe... Is she offended by my proposal because she doesn't love me?’Glenn's thoughts swirled in his head as he watched Hazel's reaction. Now, it was he who looked at Hazel with confusion.Especially when Hazel released his grip and instead crouched on the floor, crying uncontrollably."Hazel..
"Where's Vincent?" Victor asked Eleanor, his biological mother, after being taken around and introduced to some of the crew on the abandoned rig she had been using as her headquarters.The place looked rusty and decrepit from the outside, but inside, it had been polished to look futuristic with gadgets and technology that even Victor didn't know existed.Eleanor's transportation was also highly advanced, leaving Victor continuously impressed. What surprised Victor was Eleanor's troops, who looked like trained soldiers.He was naturally curious about his mother's occupation, which allowed her to have such state-of-the-art facilities.Eleanor looked at her son with a concerned expression. "He said he needed time. When he's ready, he'll come looking for you himself."Victor was immediately offended by his mother's response. "That's impossible! You're the one who instigated him, right? Or perhaps you're imprisoning him somewhere in this place?!" he snapped.Eleanor shook her head. "You kn
There was a commotion inside Sebastian's office; the man was fuming upon hearing the news of his nephew's escape from Don, who now kept his head down, not wanting to get reprimanded because of the boss's foul mood."Who helped them?" Sebastian interrogated sharply, staring at Don."If we go by their clean and traceless modus operandi, it's The Eyes," Don responded, referring to Eleanor's gang."Fvcking shit! What the hell do they want with me? And why haven't your people found them yet after all this time?!" Sebastian snapped.Don cursed inwardly, 'Oh no, here we go again…' he sighed as Sebastian was reminded of his unfinished task.It had been over a decade since The Eyes had been terrorising them; several assassination attempts on Sebastian eventually led him to retreat from the spotlight and work from the shadows.Because they didn't know The Eye's motive, Sebastian became paranoid. Their last attack nearly sent Sebastian to meet his God.Everyone has their own ghosts, and the conc
"Then why do you still accept me?" Yvonne asked curiously.Knowing this new fact made Yvonne start to doubt in her heart the kindness that Glenn had shown her all this time.'Is it sincere? Or is it to gain sympathy from me as his enemy to enter his allure?' Yvonne analysed.If Yvonne's assessment of Glenn had always been flawless previously, now she has begun to waver."Because I know you came here with a genuine intention to work, and you will treat Soulcatcher wholeheartedly because of your mother's condition. So, I did take advantage of your situation; I'm not entirely innocent," Glenn explained without sugarcoating.'I don't know if he answered like that to balance us out or if that's actually what happened,' Yvonne thought.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, her stiff posture relaxed, and her straight back bent. "I've been so foolish all this time trying hard to keep my identity hidden from you," Yvonne complained, rolling her eyes.Glenn chuckled, "You didn't try hard enough. Wh
The wedding day is just around the corner. From the beginning, Glenn requested his parents to broadcast their wedding openly because he and Hazel were the son and daughter of Eagertown’s businessman.What they have enjoyed so far is inseparable from the participation of the entire Eagertown community in their family business. Therefore, at least he wants no exclusivity in his wedding this time.Although not all community members are invited, exceptional journalists are brought to broadcast the event."Alright, I understand your thinking. So, what kind of wedding do you want to present to the community?" Irina asked her son."I want to give the best wedding to Hazel, as good and beautiful as possible. I want to give her a beautiful image every time she thinks about our wedding," Glenn requested.Irina smiled, "Oh, Glenn, such a wise choice because it's absolutely right. Every time I remember my wedding day with your father, it makes me endlessly grateful because he honoured me. It trul
The wedding day finally arrived, and the largest chapel in Eagertown was chosen as their wedding venue.The chapel had been decorated so intricately that its walls were now adorned with beautiful silk drapes hanging down. The fragrance of fresh flowers framing the room was refreshing.Like spring breeze, sprinkles of white rose petals from the ceiling made the atmosphere feel almost like a dream.All the important people from Eagertown were present that morning, setting aside all differences to present themselves before the Smith and Wlash family.This was no ordinary wedding party; it was a wedding that united two prominent entrepreneurs in Eagertown. Naturally, all layers of important society had to be involved in this historic event.Moreover, the camera flashes from the journalists incessantly captured images of the attendees. It would be controversial if any important person were left uninvited.A red carpet was provided by the wedding organisers so that the guests could pose for
There was a commotion, and Arthur and Irina even stood up from their seats as soon as they found out who the woman behind the veil was."Why?""That doesn't look like Hazel Walsh, but I'm unsure...""Is this another drama from both families? They never cease to surprise...""I don't think that's Hazel Walsh. Is there a new scandal?!"Whispers spread among the guests while the clueless priest prepared to continue the ceremony. Glenn raised his finger at the priest, signalling him not to proceed."Where is my bride?!" Glenn snapped, staring sharply at Amber.Amber pretended innocence, "Well, you're looking at her," she said, pointing at herself.Glenn's jaw tensed, and he left the altar with heavy steps to find his real bride."My groom! Where are you going? Don't leave your bride to bear the shame..." Amber pleaded with her nauseating act.Benjamin came half-running towards Glenn, "What's going on? Where are you going?" he asked confusedly, but when he saw the bride at the altar, "Oh..
Applause and cheers resounded as the priest allowed the bride and groom to kiss. Afterwards, they walked side by side into the chapel.Glenn glanced at one of the wedding attendants, "Where's the fake bride from earlier?!" he asked, surprised to see the tear in Amber's dress where she had stood at the altar.The attendant, who had been instructed to watch over Amber, looked puzzled, "Oh, she was here earlier," she said hesitantly.The woman seemed very innocent and young; apparently, she had been distracted by the show outside and forgotten her duties. Amber had escaped.Glenn couldn't interrogate her. Someone slipped their hand into his arm, slender fingers with neatly painted light pink nails.It was his wife's hand. Glenn turned and smiled at Hazel, who pouted playfully at him. "Hey, husband..." she teased, fluttering her long eyelashes. Glenn swallowed hard and loosened his suddenly tight bow tie."Do you know that behind that curtain, there's a small room where we can hide togeth
