Molly paused and shook her head. "I'm not going, Sean. Miss Herring invited the Anderson family, not me…""Don't worry. I'm bringing my companion, it's only reasonable." Sean knew Molly would say that, so he rejected her idea."But…" Molly still did not want to go.Sean knew that Molly was reluctant because she was not invited, and she was too shy to attend the banquet with him!After all, they still had not publicized their relationship.If they showed up together, that only meant that they were telling everyone that they were in a relationship!So, Sean raised his hand and brushed Molly's head as if she was a kitten. "Just go with me. You know just many heiresses will attend banquets like this. Do you really want them to approach me?""Hah!"Molly was amused. "Tch, get over yourself."However, Molly knew that Sean was right. There were countless women that were attracted to him because of his status.Obviously, Molly did not want to see other women getting close to him. She
The longer Sean stared at Molly, the more he felt that he was in love with her.Every strand of Molly's hair was perfect to him, let alone her facial expressions.So, Sean immediately pushed himself over to her and extended his right arm in an inviting manner like a gentleman. "Miss, may I have the honor to have you as my companion in the banquet tonight?""Pfft!" Molly laughed. She had already changed into the gown, so she was obviously not going to reject him.So, she said, "The pleasure is mine."She then placed her hand into Sean's warm palm.The both of them then headed to the banquet together.At that moment, there were many top-class social elites gathered in Vierra Hotel's banquet hall. Countless wealthy entrepreneurs attended, and the banquet was grand!Mr. Herring Sr. was sitting in a luxurious wooden chair as he did not walk around a lot. Joelle was wearing a light blue gown, standing next to her grandfather as she greeted every guest welcomingly.She was radiating
Molly bit her lips as she anxiously asked, "What are you going to say if they ask about me?""I'll just tell them that you're my fiancé." Sean held her hand tightly with a calm and affirmative expression.There was nothing for him to hide. Since he took her to the banquet, it already meant that he wanted to tell everyone that Molly was his woman!Sean had already prepared to show Molly to the world.When Molly heard him, her eyes started to tear up. The worries she had were immediately wiped out by her man's assurance!'Yeah, Sean isn't scared, so why should I be afraid?'So, she gathered all the courage she had and entered the banquet hall with Sean.As soon as they opened the door, everyone's gaze was turned to them.Sean was in a black suit while Molly was in a white gown. Standing together, they looked incredibly graceful, classy, and sophisticated!From afar, they looked like a match that was beautifully made in heaven that overshadowed everyone that was present in the ba
However, this was extremely painful for Joelle to watch!Joelle had scanned Molly from head to toe the minute Molly showed up.When Joelle realized that Molly was looking way better than her, to the point where she was almost breathtaking, Joelle was livid!'This b*tch! Doesn't she know that my family is the highlight of this banquet?!''Why is she dressed so beautifully? She just wants the attention!'Obviously, Joelle could only keep these thoughts in her head.She still remained a friendly smile as she greeted Molly, "I didn't expect you to come, Miss May. Welcome!""Miss May?"Mr. Herring Sr. looked over and stared at Molly. He then looked at Sean and immediately connected the dots.He did not back down and asked, "Sean, Miss Molly is…"Sean had never planned to hide Molly's identity, so he introduced her with a calm expression. "Mr. Herring Sr., this is Molly May, the daughter of the May family. She's also my… fiancée."'Fiancée?'Joelle's jaw was almost on the ground
It was just impossible for Molly to stand next to Sean without getting judged by other people.So, all the people who attended the banquet looked at her without even hiding it.However, Molly could not care less about them. She just stood there, unbothered by their opinions of her.She would lean beside Sean's ear to talk and chuckle with him from time to time. Their sweet interaction had made many guests envious.Joelle, who was standing close by, saw them too. She got so furious that she almost had bloodshot eyes.'Molly May!''Who is she to be here? Who is she to be standing next to Sean? She came from such a cheap family, and she doesn't deserve to be loved by Sean!'Joelle thought to herself as her face twisted in an ugly way from all the jealousy and bitterness that she was feeling."Joelle, are you okay?"Mr. Herring Sr. approached Joelle from behind while holding his cane. He could not help but feel worried after seeing the look on Joelle's face."Grandpa."Joelle re
"After all, feelings can't be forced upon." Joelle smiled as though she had really figured it out.Seeing that his granddaughter was sensible, Mr. Herring Sr. nodded satisfyingly and said, "I'm glad you have figured it out!"After that, Mr. Herring Sr. walked away with his cane and said nothing.Unbeknownst to Mr. Herring Sr., Joelle glared at Molly again as soon as he started walking away. Joelle's glares were so sharp that they seemed to be able to sprout spikes!'Give up? There's no way I'm willing to give up.'Molly, aren't you really good at seducing Sean?'I'd like to see it. Will Sean still choose you if your reputation is ruined!' Joelle thought."Achoo! Achoo!"Molly pulled a piece of tissue and covered her mouth and nose as she sneezed twice. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief."You have a cold?" Sean asked. He looked at Molly worriedly, and there was an invisible tension in his voice."It's nothing. It's just that my nose is itchy. Or, maybe someone is cursing me."
"Who am I? It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I didn't expect a cheap woman like you to be with Sean."The woman did not say much and directly exposed her ugly side. She looked at Molly with contempt in her eyes.Molly did not know who the woman was at all. Molly became angry because she was being scolded inexplicably. Molly then coldly said, "Miss, we don't know each other. Please don't make a scene here!"At that moment, a few socialites walked toward the washroom.When the woman saw someone coming, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Ms. May, I'm not looking for trouble. I'm just telling the truth. A woman like you is not worthy of being with Sean! You have three children, and you are not innocent anymore. I feel really sick for you!"The socialites who came toward them were stunned as soon as those words were out.They had met Molly earlier, and they knew that she was Sean's girlfriend.The socialites thought, 'That woman said Molly had given birth to t
Molly did not feel ashamed at all about her giving birth to children before. After all, the three little ones were her pride!But, Molly did not want Sean to be affected nor did she want Sean to endure the cold glares.All Molly wanted to do right now was to walk away.However, Sean refused to let go of Molly's hand.Sean's eyes were deep, and they constantly exuded his noble temperament. He then firmly said, "What are you so afraid of? Just stay by my side. I'd like to see what else they dare to say!""Sean… Don't… I don't want people to laugh at you," said Molly as she softened her voice."Nonsense. How can you be a joke?" Sean interrupted Molly.Sean looked at Molly's watery eyes seriously and said, "Listen to me and stay by my side. You are the woman I chose to be with, even if you have ten children. No one else would have the right to mind if I didn't."After all, Molly's three children were all his in the first place!Naturally, Sean wanted to protect his woman. He wante
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
