Isaac replied, "Okay."Mustering her courage then, Irene asked, "Did you watch the whole video?"She never dared to ask that question all this while."...Yes.""Was I, really…?""No," Isaac told her assuredly. "He just wanted to upset me. He didn't really do anything to you."In reality, the video was incomplete and he had no idea how far Harvey went, but he told her with such assurance anyway just to get her to let it go."Really?" Irene asked expectantly. "Yes," Isaac replied with assurance.She lowered her then, her shoulders shaking—she did not want to cry, but her nose was getting runny anyway. Ever since what happened, she felt inferior to Isaac from the depths of her heart, as if she was filthy.Naturally, she felt much better after she received such assurance from him, and was smiling despite her tears. "Thank you."Even if he said it just to comfort her, she felt confident again. She sniffled. "Sorry. I'm pathetic."Isaac ran his fingers through her hair. "J

Irene was speechless, and her fingers clenched over the steering wheel.Even so, she softly replied, "Yeah."Isaac clearly heard her despite her tiny voice and he smiled faintly. As they arrived home and got in bed, he wrapped his arms around her, and she stiffened so badly he felt like he was holding a warm rock.Hence, he spoke to her to distract her. "Did you know what I did to Tobey Kitsch's family?""What?" Irene asked. "Tobey has only one son, so he and his wife dote on him a lot. So, I got him fired, and set it up so that the company he worked at filed a lawsuit against him for leaking company secrets. I then leaked the information that it was me, and that led to Mrs. Kitsch coming to meet me earlier, begging me to spare her son. I told him that I would destroy her son utterly the next time she messed with me, and she was so scared she promised to never do it again."Irene turned to look at him, saying nothing for a while."Or did I make a mistake?""No." Irene shook

Finn stepped away as soon as Yolanda King arrived.Yolanda, who was keen on getting on Irene's good side, told her, "They gave Finn the wrong address. They knew he would talk and they wanted you to make the trip for nothing."Irene realized that she had been careless—they certainly planned ahead.She smiled. "I see."Yoanda hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Could you forget what I said that one time?""I never took it to heart," Irene replied. Relieved, Yolanda told her, "They're at Azur Coast. You should go now!" Irene held her gaze as she said, "Thank you.""You're welcome," Yolanda replied, getting embarrassed from Irene's politeness.As Irene strode off, Finn followed her and asked, "You're not going to let her come with us?"Before Irene could say anything, Yolanda told him, "You should go first. I'll head over later since I have something to do here."In reality, she did not want to go to Azur Coast with Irene—if she showed up with them, it would be apparent that s

Irene's appearance surprised everyone.They were all briefly stunned, but they soon turned toward Finn."How did you know it's actually here?"None of them told him, after all.Finn was just going to say that Yolanda told them, but Irene spoke before he could. "Is it really that hard for me to find out?'Yolanda just arrived, and heard her—she realized right then that she should not have spoken in front of Finn. After all, the boy did not understand the politics involved and would admit the truth straightaway. If everyone else found out that she was the one who talked, they would definitely give her a wide berth.Meanwhile, Irene slowly approached the crowd, her gaze sweeping across those who just spoke nonchalantly. "You know who Isaac is to me. Of course he'll find out what I want to know."Dennis walked up to her then. "Come, Irene. Sit with me."Irene sat beside him naturally, while the people who were quite enthusiastic moments ago stopped moving and stayed silent.Iren

Irene frowned at the man's snappy voice. "Who are you?""We're at Aerial Vision right now.""What's that supposed to be?"Those words only Irene left confused.An unfamiliar voice and an unfamiliar address? She naturally would not go there recklessly!"Let me go…"A voice spoke from the other end then.Irene frowned—it sounded a little like Zachary Slate. What was going on over there?However, whether it was due to a bad signal or something else, things began to turn noisy and choppy over there.Unable to hear anything, Irene hung up and alighted.Isaac had reached home just then, and she stood there waiting for him to go in with her."Did you just come back?" Isaac asked as he walked up to her, giving her a gentle hug when she nodded.Before they could enter, however, Irene's phone rang again.She frowned as she answered, and Zachary soon spoke from the other end. "Irene, please help me…"Irene was confused, but asked tentatively, "Zachary?""Yeah, it's me… You have t

However, Zachary wobbled in front of her before dropping to the floor with a thud.Left dumbfounded, Irene promptly dropped to a crouch to check on him the next instant. However, she found Zachary winking at her away from the others' gazes.Irene was speechless. He was pretending? Why?While she was still confused, the bald man beckoned for his thugs to leave.Zachary quickly tugged on her sleeve and mouthed, "Com—pen—sa—tion."Irene realized with a start and sprang to her feet. "Stop! Are you trying to leave just like that after you caused injury?"The bald man wheeled on her with a vicious glare. "Are you trying to swindle me?!""No, but he's unconscious and needs the hospital. You have to foot his bill," Irene said.The bald man strode toward her right then, but Isaac stepped in between, his presence calm but intimidating. "What do you think you are doing?""She's trying to swindle me."The bald man naturally knew how far they went, since they did not hit Zachary anywher

Zachary was left puzzled by Isaac's sudden outburst."What? How did you upset you now?" He puffed his chest confidently, his usual fear of Isaac gone since Irene was here with them.Isaac really wanted to kick Zachary right then."Clean up your own mess from now on! What were you thinking, asking for her? What can a woman like her do?! If I didn't happen to get home at the same time, she would have come alone. Who knows what would happen then? Maybe you did not think before you did? Or maybe your brain is just mush?!""It wasn't me—they took my phone," Zachary quickly explained. "They called her."Isaac was skeptical. "How many contacts do you have on your phone? And they had to call her?"Zachary hung his head guiltily then, afraid to look Isaac in the eye."Say something!" Isaac barked."I wanted to call her, but I didn't even though it was on display. I just slipped my phone back in my pocket, and they saw it when they unlocked the screen."He wanted to ask Irene about Lu

Since Ricky was impulsive and easily got into conflicts with others, he was naturally on edge when he saw Zachary.Irene quickly turned to Zachary. "It's late. You should head straight home."She barely finished when a blur darted toward them and punched Zachary in the face.Irene quickly caught Ricky. "What are you doing?! Both of you are hurt!"On the other hand, Zachary wiped his lips and looked at Ricky askance.Still, he said. "It's fine… I'll be giving up on Lulu, Ricky. Just do what you will with her—you don't have to be hostile with me now."Although he did not hit back, Ricky snorted. "You're despicable, Zachary Slate. Playing goody two shoes now after what you did? She wouldn't have left if you'd let go of her sooner!""Left? Where to?" Zachary, who was completely in the dark, was naturally surprised by what Ricky said. After all, Lulu did not have relatives, and her only connection was her best friend, Irene.He quickly turned toward Irene and asked, "Where did she

Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

"What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

"I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
