Agent Lee swiftly escorted Desmond to the FBI base, her expression resolute. "We'll get to the bottom of this." She assured as they entered the interrogation room, which Leonard nodded. Inside the interrogation room, Iris sat calmly, her eyes fixed on Desmond. Her face looked pale. It’s like she had come back to her senses, but there wasn’t any medicine for regret. She can’t undone what had already happened. “Now, would you tell us about your partner, or you want to do it the hard way?” Agent Lee demanded, her hand caressing the gun in her hand. Iris smirked, not fazed by Agent Lee's threat. “You'll never find them.” She stubbornly refused to reveal anything. Agent Lee leaned in. “We have evidence. Your partner's identity will come out. If you don’t want to talk, I will fish them out myself.” She confidently said. “You blackmailing people is already a criminal offense that can put you in jail for a few years. I advise you to better talk, or you face the consequences. Iris's confid

Two weeks after the blackmailing incident, Agent Lee's investigation had reached a dead end. Despite Iris's confession, there wasn't enough evidence to link Richard to the crime. He was so smart that he met Iris in a secluded place, where his face or their conversation won’t be captured and recorded. He was careful enough. Richard walked out of the police station, a smug smile on his face. No charges will be filed,” his lawyer announced. He nodded before boarding his car and took off. Iris, on the other hand, was sentenced to five years in prison for blackmail and extortion. Weeks passed, and the Lockwood family continued searching everywhere for Jane.

Banks mansion. Edward’s study. Leonard sat across his grandfather, sir Edward, as his eyes locked into his. Their expressions were both unreadable. The air was tense as they stared at each other. Sir Edward was the first to break the awkward silence. “Leonard, have you made a decision regarding the marriage?” Sir Edward asked, his voice firm but laced with anticipation. Leonard took a deep breath, his eyes locking onto his grandfather's. “Yes, Grandfather. I've made my decision.” Sir Edward's expression remained stern, but a hint of curiosity and anticipation crept into his voice. “And?” Sir Edward questioned. Leonard's expression was unreadable which was what always frustrates his grandfather. No matter what, he can’t read his grandson's expression with his old age. “I'm willing to proceed with the marriage.” Leonard stated. Sir Edward's face transformed, a satisfied smile spreading across his features. “Excellent choice, Leonard. The Lockwoods will be pleased.” Reginald,

As Jane walked down the stairs, she heard all her mom said to her father. She felt regretful. If not because of her, her parents wouldn’t be having this issue. “Mom,” she walked up to her mom as she took her hand and led her to take a seat. She sat down beside her as she faced her father. “Dad, I know I was childish about my behavior some months ago, no matter what, I’m still the heiress of the Lockwood. I have to fulfill my duty as the heiress of this wonderful family. I don’t want my marriage to cause an issue between you and mom. If you want me to get married no problem, I will do anything for your forgiveness, and for the growth of the family.” “Jane…” her mother called out to her with a choked voice. “You don’t need to force yourself. Don’t worry, when the Banks family come here tomorrow, I will chase them away and tell them we are not interested in this fucking marriage.” Evelyn cursed as she reassured her daughter. “Mom”, Jane called out to her mother feeling touched. “I’v

Jane stormed out of the living room with Leonard following closely behind. Immediately after they reached the garden, Jen turned around, her eyes filled with anger. “You!” she pointed her shaky index finger at Leonard, her voice shaking with anger. “Was it because you know that I’m your fiancée, that was why you saved me at the bridge the other day?” She questioned him, her eyes fixed in his expression, not wanting to miss anything. Leonard's smile immediately fell at Jane’s claims. He took a step closer to her. “What if I tell you that I never knew about your existence before our unexpected encounter, would you believe me? I get to know about who my fiancée was the day you woke up from coma at the hospital.” Jane gazed deeply into his eyes, searching for a hint of lie in them, but Leonard’s expression was hard to read. “Why didn't you tell me after knowing? Gosh,” she yanked her hair in frustration. “I even stayed at your place for the past two months, and you didn’t bring this up.

Leonard's lips reluctantly left Jane’s, and they turned to face the intruder. “Sorry to interrupt,” Desmond said with a warm smile, “but dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you guys.” “We will be right there, Desmond, thank you.” Leonard grinned. Desmond nodded, and left. Jane was shy being caught by her brother making out. Seeing her shy expression, Leonard's frustration of being interrupted turned into a warm smile. “Let’s go.” He held her hand, pulling her with him. “Leonard wait,” Jane stopped, making Leonard also stop. “I think I should be honest with your family and tell them about my previous marriage. It won’t be nice if they later knew from somewhere.” Jane suggested. Leonard's expression turned resolute. “No, Jane. Don't tell them. It's our personal life, no one else needs to know.” Knowing that if his family came to know about Jane's previous marriage, the good relationship they seemed to have now would turn sour. Even his grandfather forcing him to get married to

This is Jane, my brother 's fiancée, and his future wife. By the way, Jane is not that young. She is 24, and Leonard is just 4 years older than her.” Lisa said angrily. “And my brother is in love with her, so this isn’t a forced marriage, and stop spouting nonsense.” Ivy was so angry listening to Lisa.

Ivy’s face reddened, her eyes blazing with anger. “You're defending her?” Ivy spat, her voice venomous. “You're choosing her over me?” Lisa stepped forward, her hands raised calmingly. “Ivy, no, it's not like that.
