The next morning.By the time Elena woke up, Adrian was busy talking on the phone.“Is everything alright?” she asked.“Not quite,” Adrian sat down and sighed. “I’ve been calling many news channels, but none of them are agreeing to do an interview if the narrative is against Gregg Huefner. Even after I said I’d give them money, their editors are not willing.”“They are all afraid of the Huefner and Paine families,” Elena said.“If you were in their shoes, would you do the same thing?”Elena nodded somewhat. “Professionally, yes. These news channels don’t care about who’s right or wrong, but only which side benefits them more.”Adrian snorted because he knew that was the right answer. “I would have bought them if I had the money, but our bank account doesn’t even have a tenth of a billion. We can’t buy even a single national news channel with what we’ve got.”He sat down next to her.“If we can’t give an interview, then we can’t stop their wedding,” Adrian seemed upset. He really wante

“Everybody is invited?” Cassandra snorted. “What a braggart. Does he think he can afford to host a wedding if thousands of people come running to the wedding?”“No, he said that probably to make us and his own parents support them,” Leonard opined. “If their wedding flops after he said there’s no bad blood between him and his family, it won’t make his family members look good. Or us for that matter.”Cassandra was startled. “That brat… so he’s given us one week to take them back.”“Yeah. If we don’t attend the wedding, then the world will know that we’re the ones who pushed them out, and yet he didn’t badmouth us,” Leonard said. “He’ll become a saint, and we’ll be seen as villains who didn’t support their love. Both results aren’t in our favor.”“That damned brat,” Cassandra bit on her nail. ‘There’s only one way to get out of this. The wedding must never happen.”“How are you planning on stopping them?”“We won’t interfere. He needs money to conduct the wedding, right? We just need t

“Ms. Elena,” Bella greeted her with a warm hug. “Were you invited to this wedding, too?”“Uh, well,” Elena scratched her chin.If Bella asked her to show the invitation card, what was Elena supposed to do?“Of course they got invited,” Nathan quickly said. “Why would they come here if they weren’t invited?”“Yeah, right,” Bella lightly slapped on the back of her own head. “What was I thinking?”“Did you guys just come here?” Adrian put his hand around Nathan’s shoulder. “Let’s greet the wedding couple together.”Nathan didn’t quite like that Adrian put his hand on shoulder. There were people watching, but Nathan didn’t want to ruin the relationship with Adrian, so he bore it.Bella was happy that she didn’t have to leave the wedding right away.Adrian and Elena were greeted by the groom and bride’s parents. The groom’s parents thought the bride’s parents invited them and vice versa.When they met the bride and groom, they both gave different gifts to them.Adrian gave a sealed wooden

Inside the convention center, Leonard and Cassandra greeted the bride and the groom and gave them gifts.Cassandra talked to the groom’s mother, who was one of her close friends.“You look as young as ever,” she praised Cassandra who was the leader of their circle.Everybody would listen to Cassandra for advice.“But I thought you might not come to the wedding,” she added.“Why wouldn’t I?” Cassandra asked back.“Your reputation has taken a dent after you failed to marry your brother and stepdaughter.”Cassandra smiled, hiding the frustration beneath perfectly. “Nobody wins all the time. It is only after a loss that we can correct ourselves and then score a bigger victory next time.”“What if Elena goes public and says that you took her shares and kicked her out?”“I don’t think she has the guts to fight us in public.”“Mm…”Just then, a beautiful couple arrived there and greeted the wedding couple.Cassandra was mesmerized by how good-looking they were. Even painters would have troub

Elena woke up because of the timer she put after fifteen minutes.But then she saw something that swelled her eyes open.Adrian’s back was turned to her, his shirt pulled taut across lean muscle as he rolled his sleeves up, forearms flexing without even trying.Sunlight brushed the lines of his shoulders, tracing strength instead of softness.Elena’s throat went dry.She swallowed, the motion slow and instinctive, as if her body had reacted before her thoughts could catch up.Heat crept up her neck, settling somewhere uncomfortably close to her pulse.She told herself not to stare.She failed.There was something unfair about the quiet confidence in the way he stood there, unaware, unguarded. And somehow, that made it worse.Elena looked away, pressing her lips together, steadying her breath.But the image lingered.And her heartbeat refused to slow.She looked again, her mouth splitting partly open.Adrian probably felt something piercing his back. He glanced over his shoulder.Elena

Adrian and Elena returned to the old apartment they had rented.Adrian wanted to give Elena only the best experiences in the world, but the reality of their situation hit him once more.With 21 million in their combined bank account, he wondered if it was really necessary to keep staying in this old flat, but when Elena lay down on the bed and patted the torn mattress a couple of times, he smiled.He lay down next to her.This wouldn’t have been possible if they were in a luxury room, he thought.“Every place, even one such as this, has their advantages,” he smiled to himself. “I think I’m going to sleep well tonight.”“Along the way, I looked at the list of the debtors,” Elena said. “One of them is related to the Sterling family.”“Oh, what’s his name?”“George.”“Do you want to go to the wedding party to talk to Rebecca Sterling?” Adrian asked her.“That’s what I thought at first, but after I checked online, I understood that George wasn’t even living in the Sterling villa,” Elena s
