Chapter 401

Throughout the funeral, no reporters were allowed inside. Justin had made it clear he didn’t want the ceremony disturbed by the media, instead instructing the company to release an official statement. However, several reporters lingered outside the venue, hoping to catch a sensational moment to turn into headlines. “Why hasn’t the funeral procession started yet?” one journalist muttered, frustrated. He had already spotted Emma entering the hotel earlier. If he could capture her standing with the family in the role of a future daughter-in-law, it would be guaranteed front-page news. “These days, tabloid gossip spreads faster than anything else,” his colleague replied, glancing at his watch before shoveling another bite of takeout into his mouth. “Relax. It’s still early. They probably haven’t even started the meal yet. The funeral procession won’t happen until later this afternoon.” “What makes you so sure?” the first journalist asked, skeptical. “You’re not from here,

Justin hurriedly unlocked his phone, snapping several pictures in quick succession. In the end, Wilfred entered the house alone, while the woman drove off in the car. Satisfied, Justin picked the clearest images and sent them to Haley with the caption: “He’s out here kissing another woman right at the door—completely unacceptable!”Inside the house, Haley was lounging on the sofa, scrolling through her phone. The notification of Justin’s message popped up. She opened it briefly, rolled her eyes, and returned to watching short videos online. Moments later, Wilfred walked in, casually handing his briefcase to the housekeeper. Loosening his tie, he asked, “What’s this I hear about Helen getting married all of a sudden?” “It’s not exactly sudden. They’ve known each other for a while. It just wasn’t public because of me,” Haley replied, putting her phone down. She gave him a brief summary of Helen and Zac’s relationship. “Since Helen has already decided to marry him, she must h

“Alright, got it.” Haley got up and asked the housekeeper for the local HOA’s contact number, then dialed it herself.“Hello, this is Haley from Mistletoe Villa. I’ve noticed a car parked in my driveway that doesn’t belong to any of our residents. It’s been there for a while, and I’ve also seen them using a camera to film toward my house. Could you send someone over to handle this? Thank you.”*Outside the villa, the sunset painted the entire sycamore-lined street in a fiery glow. A property manager approached from the direction of the sinking sun, stopping behind Justin’s car. After confirming the license plate, he knocked on the window.“Excuse me, sir. You’ve been parked in a private driveway for quite some time. The homeowner has filed a complaint, and I’m going to have to ask you to move your vehicle immediately.”Justin lowered the window. “I’m sorry, but I noticed there’s no car parked here right now. Could I stay just a little longer?”It was almost surreal—a powerful CE

Helen darted toward the door, but before she could reach it, Haley stretched out an arm to stop her. With one stern glance, Helen obediently bowed her head and backed away.The housekeeper went to answer the door, while Wilfred rose from his seat to greet the guest.“Hello.” Zac stood in the doorway, looking slightly uneasy as he offered a polite greeting.The housekeeper smiled warmly and stepped aside to let him in. Noticing the load Zac was carrying—both hands full of gifts—she quickly approached to take some of the items off his hands.“There’s more outside,” Zac said, a bit sheepishly.The housekeeper peered out and saw gift boxes stacked neatly along the steps. She smiled warmly and said, “Mr. White, please come in. I’ll have someone bring these inside.”With a wave of her hand, a few maids hurried over to carry in the gifts.Zac was led into the living room, feeling somewhat nervous but managing to maintain his composure. What he hadn’t expected was to find Wilfred there.

Zac responded sincerely, “I haven’t informed my family about the marriage yet, but they’ve met Helen and really like her.” He chose not to mention Helen’s request to keep their marriage a secret. As her husband, it was his duty to protect and prioritize her, not shift the blame.Anticipating further challenges from Richard, Zac reached into his briefcase and placed the marriage agreement on the coffee table in front of Wilfred.“This is my promise and guarantee to Helen,” Zac declared firmly. “If I ever betray her, all my assets will go to her, and I’ll walk away with nothing. This document has already been notarized by my lawyer and takes effect immediately.”Wilfred picked up the document and carefully examined its contents. As Zac claimed, everything was clearly outlined, and Wilfred found himself somewhat impressed.Helen, unable to contain her happiness, bit her lip to suppress a grin. Her eyes sparkled with pride and affection as she looked at Zac. “See? The man I chose is

On the second floor, Alex quietly cracked open the door just enough to peek out with one eye, looking downstairs. “It really is Uncle Zac!” Alex whispered excitedly. “What are they talking about? Uncle Richard looks so worked up. Are they interrogating Uncle Zac?” he added. “I don’t know,” Chase replied in an equally hushed tone. Alex pulled back slightly and tilted his head, trying to press his ear closer to the door to catch snippets of the conversation. “What does getting a marriage license mean?” Chase gave his younger brother a look of disbelief. For someone who constantly nagged about finding their mom a boyfriend, how could he not know this basic thing? In fairness, it wasn’t entirely Alex’s fault. The shows he watched mostly focused on couples falling in love, fighting, and making up—they never really got into the technicalities of marriage. Patiently, Chase explained, “It means two people in love register their marriage and become legally recognized as

Alex peeked through the barely opened door, his little bottom wiggling as he tried to catch a better view. Seeing the adults heading toward the dining room, he closed the door and plopped down beside his brother.“So, now that Uncle-in-law Zac and Aunt Helen are married, does that mean we can go hang out with Uncle Justin all the time? Uncle Zac and Uncle Justin are good buddies, and Mom and Aunt Helen are besties. They’re a perfect match!” Alex’s excitement was palpable, and he had adjusted to calling Zac "Uncle-in-law" with surprising ease.Chase stayed silent, giving his overly enthusiastic little brother a side-eye. Justin was likely their biological father. How could Alex have met him so many times and not noticed anything unusual? Chase had started piecing things together after their visit to the hospital and meeting Mr. Yates Sr. Those encounters had raised suspicions. In the past couple of days, Chase had been digging through information online, and it seemed increasing

Helen had completely forgotten about that. Quickly, she raised her hand as if taking an oath. “But don’t worry, sis. Zac promised me he wouldn’t say anything. I even threatened him. If he dares, I’ll disappear again, just to teach him a lesson!” “Yeah, right,” Richard scoffed, his face full of doubt. “Men’s promises are like fairy tales. You actually believe him? You’re already married. Where are you going to run to?” “Why are you so hostile toward him? Are you jealous that he’s got someone and you don’t?” Helen retorted, suddenly energized as she turned the tables on him. “Jealous? Of him? Me?” Richard sneered. “Do you think I can’t get a girlfriend?” “Then go get one already, you perpetual bachelor! Haha!” she taunted, sticking out her tongue at him. “Enough, Helen!” Haley’s sharp voice cut through their bickering. Haley sighed, a headache beginning to form. “It’s fine,” Wilfred interjected, offering a calming presence. “It’s only a matter of time before Zac c

“Knock, knock.” The sound of knocking echoed through the room.Haley put down her phone and got up to open the door. “Wilfred?” Seeing it was Wilfred, she stepped aside to let him in. “There was something off about Justin at the funeral today,” Wilfred said, skipping any explanation for his presence at the event. Haley didn’t bother to ask. “He wasn’t just hostile toward me. He seemed unusually focused on everything I was doing. Has he been giving you trouble?” he asked, his concern evident. Haley sighed and gave a faint, helpless smile. “He misunderstood. He thinks you and I are together, and that we even have a child.” Since Wilfred had gone out of his way to ask, she decided not to keep it from him. Wilfred’s brows furrowed as his gaze sharpened. Justin was trying to get back into Haley’s life—that much was obvious. In this area, men understood each other all too well. “What are your thoughts?” he asked, his tone careful but firm. Truthfully, he didn’t wan

Wilfred left early this morning.“He must be off to see that other woman!” Justin thought. He was sure of it. He was about to instruct William to follow when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Haley stepping out of her house. Justin quickly jumped out of the car and rushed to Haley, positioning himself directly in her path. He bent slightly, his tone pleading.“Haley, I was wrong! Please, don’t change your number, okay?”It had taken him so long to track down her contact information, and the thought of losing touch with her again was unbearable. Not even once—he couldn’t let it happen again.“I promise, I’ll cut down on the texts and calls. Just… promise me you won’t shut me out.”His tall frame now seemed slouched, defeated, as if he were anchoring himself there, unwilling to move until she agreed.Haley frowned, watching his odd behavior. Was he losing it? Had he seriously spent the night in his car, parked on the side of the road?She frowned, noticing his
