After that, most of the messages the online user "Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" received were questioning the authenticity of her comment.Many users online replied to her comment to question her: [You've seen Mr. Zane? Tell us who you are. Let us analyze whether it's actually possible for you to meet him.]"Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" desperately replied: [I'm just an ordinary human being. But my friend knows Mr. Zane. We're eating with him right now. And the CEO's wife who was in the picture is eating with us too.]After this text was sent, she received even more doubts.Some were amused by her and played along with her: [I'm going karaoke with Mr. Zane and his wife tonight. Anyone who's interested can join us.]Some people asked her to immediately take a photo and post it online. And if she did that, she would then be able to prove what she said was true."Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" commented: [Everyone knows Mr. Zane doesn't like to

"Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" was the most enthusiastic user: [What did he say?]"Heartless" answered: [He apologized to me and said he was going to have lunch with his wife. He used only one sentence to tell me that he was married. He also made me abandon the idea of continuing to try to win him over with that same sentence.]The online users eagerly asked: [What happened after that?]"Heartless" replied: [I was unconvinced. So, I had someone secretly follow him. I wanted to see who his wife was. But in the afternoon, he didn't even meet any woman other than his assistant. I thought he was just using marriage as an excuse to reject me. So, I went to find his assistant. His assistant directly told me that Mr. Zane was married and that he loved his wife very much. He's wealthy, handsome, and loyal to his wife. Good men like him are almost extinct, aren't they?]All the online users were extremely jealous.One of them commented: [Why can't such good things happen to us

An online user named "BoomMind Pro" chimed in: [It's not your imagination. The first thing I noticed in this photo too was exactly that.] She continued her analysis: [Have you noticed Mr. Zane's posture in the photo? It's protective, sheltering the woman before him. In our field of psychology, this posture suggests two possibilities: one, he's protecting the person he wants to shield from harm; two, it's a sign of possessiveness, not allowing other males to approach his woman.]Both interpretations struck a chord with the fangirls online, and the internet erupted once again.Some squealed: [Oh my God! Mr. Zane is head over heels for his wife!]Others were utterly smitten: [What do I do? I'm drowning in Mr. Zane's affection for his wife. Nothing's more compelling than a real couple.]Heartless: [Had I met Xander first, I might've been the woman basking in his tenderness today. Alas, the world doesn't deal in 'ifs'. All I can do is watch him share tender moments with another woman.]

"I'm not," Xander said."Alright, alright, you're not. How's your schedule? Not too packed, right? Let's all get together and unwind a bit," Lucas offered.Xander nodded. "Sounds good."After dinner, as Abigail and Melody were about to ride home with Felix, Xander held her back. "I'll drive you home. There's something I need to discuss with you."Something felt off about Xander tonight, like a shadow that would not leave her side. "Mr. Zane, if you have something to say, you can say it here. There's no need to go out of your way to drive me home," Abigail reasoned, not wanting to inconvenience him as their homes were in opposite directions from their current location."Get in my car," Xander instructed, pulling the car door open with an assertive and almost domineering air.Sensing that Xander wanted to continue his charade to protect the identity of his mysterious wife, Abigail decided to play along. The drive was silent, neither of them knowing what to say until they arrived at

Each word in the lengthy message was a testament to Abigail's current worry and unease, and it brought Xander to a stark realization: his arrangement for tonight had been a complete misstep. His original intention was to use that photograph to announce to the world his marital status, to pave the way for revealing Abigail's identity in the future, and perhaps even to flush out potential threats lurking in the shadows. His intentions were good, yet he had utterly disregarded the feelings of the involved party. Regardless of how talented Abigail was at her job, she was, after all, only a young woman in her early twenties. The idea of her fear when she thought her boss was pushing her into the front lines of public opinion, taking hits for someone else, was something Xander could not even bear to contemplate.With that, he swiftly texted her under the guise of Nathan: [Abigail, you're my wife. I trust you entirely. Never doubted you for a second today, and I hope you trust me too. Xander

Nathan: [Alright, no apologies. Let's talk about something else.]Abigail did not know what to discuss: [What do you want to talk about?]Nathan: [Actually, the main reason I texted you tonight is to ask if you're satisfied with the renovation of the apartment. When are you planning to move? Tell me in advance and I'll arrange for the movers.]He just asked about the renovation, nothing sweet or honeyed, but it touched Abigail's heart, even influencing her tear ducts. The tears she had held back for so long slipped from her eyes like pearls, one after the other. Choking up, Abigail sobbed, "Nathan, can you come back to Florivera sooner? I-I want to see you. I really, really want to see you."Regrettably, Nathan could not hear her.Abigail allowed herself to cry. After her tears subsided, she wiped her eyes and replied: [The contractor, Elisha you recommended, is professional and responsible. I'm very satisfied with the apartment he renovated for me. The apartment needs to air out

Max's expression darkened, his heart simmering with indignation at the middle-aged man's words. Yet, his tone remained respectfully reserved. "Mr. Zane, what are you implying?"The man on the other end retorted, "No one has captured that lad's photo for years, and now someone boldly posts it online, with Zane Corporation's PR Department even stepping up to confirm that the pair in the photo are their couple. Don't you find this curious?""Could it be that he arranged for the picture to be taken and then disseminated?" Max realized he had fallen into a trap. He immediately whipped out another phone and shot off a message: [Stop the search for the photographer immediately.]The voice on the other end continued, "In the future, refrain from calling me impulsively. Whatever the situation, think it through multiple times in your head first."Max could only manage an, "Understood."The man offered no further words, abruptly hanging up, showing none of the respect due to Max as the CEO o

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
