Meanwhile, Jules turned to the man beside her once they were inside the hall.

"Thanks for your help," She let out, biting her lips shyly... She had least expected him to show up at that moment and save her from her embarrassing situation, but he did.

"It's nothing, Miss Verne. I was only helping a friend," Mason clay answered, looking at the woman in front of him with so much admiration. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder why a young and beautiful woman like her married, someone old enough to be her father.

Earlier when he arrived at the party, he saw that she was standing alone while the Scott family stood together, as the paparazzi took photos of them.

"Isn't she a part of the Scotts? why is she standing over there, when she should be with them?" Mason muttered to himself. Now more than ever, he was convinced that Jules's marriage to Mr.Scott was a complicated one. That is if she was even married to him at all...

    Emelia sighed and thought for a while... As much as she wanted to, she knew she couldn't just fix her son's marriage to another woman when he was already married.

    What were you watching, and why did you turn it off the moment you saw me?" Emelia asked while curving her brow in question.Mr.Harper let out a burst of sheepish laughter.

On the other hand, Jules was just about to walk out of her room when she got a text message. "Come to my room, and make sure you bring Hero along."Jules stare at the message in confusion, mulling over why would Emelia would text her with a hidden number.

    Jules shrieked in horror and instantly moved away from the package.'Why didn't I think of that? What if a bomb is really in there? I could have died just now,' she mulled over, before going to stand behind Hero, likewise Bryan."Mr.Scott the package is meant for you, so you should open it," As she was short, she had to stand on her tiptoe to whisper it in his ears.Hero glanced at the woman, who was holding onto with a slight hint of amusement in his eyes, before tilting his gaze in the direction of the package.He eyed the package for a while before saying, "Bryan you should open it."Bryan gasped.

I wonder who that is' Hero mulled, before saying "When is then meeting?""It's in five minutes time boss." Hero nodded. "Let's go," he told Bryan, before walking ahead. Bryan followed Hero but not before giving the image on his tablet one last look.It was an image of Jules and Mason at the hospital.

    Unlike the previous day, the family members except for Emelia Scott left home for both work and school. Even Jules had to return to work in order to prevent the other workers from gossiping or saying she was getting special treatment because she was probably dating their boss.After they left, it was Emelia Scott and Sasha at home. Sasha walked up to Emelia who sat in the garden as she had nothing to do."Ma'am Emily, don't you feel bored sitting here all by yourself? I should keep you company," Sasha said, calmly.

    "Hero, the truth is that I...Jules paused for a while after saying that and glanced up to meet his gaze."You give me your word that if I tell you the truth, you won't tell the family about what happened between us," she whispered, although he could still hear her. Hero sighs impatiently before saying with gritted teeth "I give you my word."Jules then stood on her tiptoe and whispered into his ears. "I wonder why you want to know if I'm married to your dad? Is it because you like me...anyway the truth is that I'm married to your dad."Immediately after she said that the door swung open revealing Sasha. "What the hell is going on here?" She yelled, and Jules hastily pulled away from Hero. Sasha's lips curve into a smirk, and she moved closer to them and asked mockingly. "Did I interrupt something?" "You didn't.

She had a curious look on and face and wanted to be sure she heard it right before jumping to a conclusion.However, everyone remained mum, heightening her curiosity even more. "Lady Scott is it true?"
