No news of what Sophia did spread, despite Charles being aware of her actions. His plan had worked, but he couldn't keep everything together. If only he had kept Sophia by his side, everything would have gone according to his plans. Now, he had no choice but to let her go. It was impossible for them to sleep with each other now that Sophia knew what he was planning to do. "Brother, is something wrong?" Megan inquired during breakfast, noticing Charles had been absent-minded since they arrived. "Nothing, I was just thinking about what to give you as a present for your engagement," Charles said with a forced joyful smile. In reality, he was preoccupied with how to solve the problem between him and Sophia. He worried that Sophia might still try to win him over, especially since Megan was not yet officially Mrs. Augustine. "That's right, we have gotten you a present," Madam Chen chimed in cheerfully, enjoying the attention from numerous calls she had received since their arrival, asking
Antonia had been held captive in the man's home for days. Despite seeking help from the man's friend, they couldn't intervene and only advised her to be patient since they were uncertain about the man's intentions. "Frankly, it's best if you stay here. We don't know what might happen," they told her. "What do you mean? What will happen?" Antonia pressed for answers, but they remained elusive. She tried to talk to the man and convince him to let her out to visit her friends, but he remained stubborn, turning his back on her each time she made excuses. "Aug, if you want me to be locked up here, then tell me why? What's the big danger if I go out?" Antonia asked in frustration. The situation had changed, and the plan she had with her family to get close to the man was now over, so she believed she was no longer a threat. "F*CK! I'll tell you the truth, just let me go," she exclaimed. Victor looked at her seriously, seeing her reaction and knowing that she was aware he was also aware
A day before the celebration, Victor took Megan out around the city to spend time together. However, during their outing, Victor appeared absent-minded and accidentally bumped into someone. Luckily, the person didn't mind as he was on the phone and couldn't avoid the collision. Megan felt awkward due to the presence of numerous paparazzi watching them. She hadn't experienced such intense scrutiny since her time as a celebrity. "Is something wrong?" Victor asked, noticing Megan's bothered expression. Megan hesitated to reply, feeling uneasy about the situation and worried that Victor might be upset with her if she said something. "Don't worry, none of them would dare post something like that. If they do, I don't mind," Victor reassured her. Megan could only manage a shy smile, realizing that Victor's support meant more to her than any public opinion. She decided not to worry about any negative attention as she was marrying him after all. Curious about her expression, Victor asked,
Victor has been feeling confused lately because of all the words Watcher has been telling him. The anxiousness in his heart has left him like a wandering ghost, unsure of what to do. "Master, you have a call," the butler announced. As Victor was heading upstairs, the butler called him and handed him the house phone. It made him curious who the person could be as the butler said nothing. "Hello?" he said without asking who the person on the other line could be, as he would be able to distinguish who it was once they spoke. "Aug, finally. I was worried that something had happened." It was Megan whose voice sounded excited that he had finally answered her call. Since he left his phone in his room, the girl must have called him numerous times and ended up calling the house worried sick. "Sorry, I left my phone in my room and went to get some food," Victor explained. "No problem at all, I was just saying brother will be there soon to deliver the suit for you," Megan replied without fu
"They think you were Megan's father," Madam Chen explained everything to them, and as things were made clear, she looked shocked by how the man reacted. "What's so funny?" "Why did you even send my brother into an asylum? He isn't some crazy b*stard. All you needed to do was give him money, then he'd be quiet," Shen Chen said, which was indeed the right answer to their problem. However, it was obvious that the family was obsessed with money and didn't dare to share it with anyone. "Father, please…" Mei said, trying to ease the tension in the room. She was now pregnant with Chen's child, and if things didn't go well for Megan, her future would be ruined as well. Madam Chen was stunned to see how calm Mei was. She was beautiful like Sophia, but the only thing lacking was her connection and power. Mei may have money and all, but her connections and power belonged on the other side. A power they would not use at all. "Is something wrong, mother?" Charles asked, noticing how his mother
Victor looked softly at the woman, seeing a vague image of her mother in her. Her mother had also lived a hard life with her abusive father, doing everything just to make sure she was living a good life. To everyone's surprise, they witnessed the man grab hold of the woman. They all watched in anticipation, wondering what the man planned to do. "Mother, I promise to take care of her," Victor said, which shocked everyone, even Megan, who was by his side. Megan became emotional as a tear rolled down her face. She didn't expect the man would accept her biological mother so easily. He must truly love her if he didn't care about her mother's identity. "Ah, I should not keep you to myself. Come, this is your night." "Hmm, we will see you later," Victor replied as he escorted Megan to where the Chens were. "Mother, Father, Brother, thank you for this. Mother, everything is perfect," Megan greeted her parents as she gave Madam Chen a hug. "Indeed, thank you," Victor also praised Madam C
Charles finally came face to face with his uncle and Mei. Despite his attraction towards the woman, he batted not a look, even though all the men's eyes were glued on her. Mei was indeed eye-catching; she was dressed in a simple but revealing maxi dress, with an open back and a huge slit on the side. She was barely wearing any makeup and had her hair tied in a messy bun. "Charles, did you miss me?" Mei said as soon as she came face to face with him. As she tried to approach him to give him a kiss, Charles stopped her before she could make her move. "Is this the way you should be treating your fiancée?" "Fiancée?" Charles looked dumbfoundedly at the girl, angry that she dared to declare something so outrageous in front of everyone. "Have you lost your mind?" "You shouldn't be speaking to her like that," Chen Shen said, upset at the boy for not giving them any respect. "Why should I? Do you think Megan would care if you are here?" Charles retorted, as their contract for him to act a
Sophia, standing proud and tall, smiled with pride as she came face to face with the man's parents, maintaining the same cold manner she had with Charles. "Soph, my dear, we didn't expect you to bring everyone," Madam Chen said awkwardly, not expecting Sophia to bring her mother. Madam Chen was known for being difficult, and she was worried that Sophia's mother might cause a scene. "Don't worry, I don't plan to ruin your party," Yiyi Zheng replied, fully aware of what the woman meant by her words. Yiyi looked down at Madam Chen, knowing that the Chen family would always be beneath them, despite their daughter being engaged to someone with more power. When Madam Chen noticed the look Yiyi was giving her, she almost argued back, but her husband held her hand, preventing her from making a scene. With so many people around, it would be a total embarrassment, especially after their daughter's recent engagement. "Haha, don't worry. My sister is just teasing you," Zhou Zheng added, trying
