Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 10
At the same time, Henry’s phone rang.He flinched for a second as if he was jolted awake. Unable to react in time, his expression froze.“Hello, mom.” He sighed in relief. If not for the call, he would have given himself away. That fellow was diabolical to trick him this way.Under such circumstances, that if the person interrogating him had received a call and mentioned Cherry without warning, Henry would still show some hint of uneasiness, no matter how well-prepared he was.He believed that that person was observing him from a hidden place right now. Knowing how powerful that person was, the uneasiness that had almost shown itself would have been noticed.It was too dangerous.“Nana, where are you? Today is your brother’s engagement and I still don’t see your brother’s friends. He didn’t answer my call either. Do you know where he is?”“I know, letting your brother marry Cherry is extremely unfair for him. I, too, don’t want to let him marry that ugly, stupid and useless woman,” th
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 11
“Is your brother here?” Cherry raised her eyebrows. Her tone was nonchalant yet direct.“You knew all along that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was completely stunned and stared at her in disbelief. How was this possible? His elder brother never objected. He always thought that his elder brother was very committed to the family.How could Cherry be so sure that his elder brother will not be here today?!Cherry smiled without saying a word. With Nelly present, she knew that today's engagement will not go on successfully. This was also the reason why she did not protest all these while.Why should she take matters into her own hands when somebody else could help her solve her problems? It was not worth the trouble since it was both physically and mentally exhausting.“Are you certain that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was unconvinced.“He'll definitely be present but the engagement won't take place.” Cherry had to tolerate Henry's inquisitive nature but who was it that
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 12
“Hardy, you're finally here!” His mother heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him appear. “Thank God, you've finally arrived. We have been waiting for you for so long and were worried sick. Why didn't you call us if you had an emergency?”“Edward, he managed to come here. Naturally, he understands that nothing is more important than today's engagement. The ceremony can begin now.” She kept defending Hardy as she spoke. Edward's expression began to soften.His wife followed behind Hardy and lowered her head. She walked slowly from the moment she entered the hotel and kept a distance from him. Everybody's gaze fell on Hardy at that moment and only a few people had noticed his mother.No one thought much about the reason behind Hardy's delay in arrival.“Huh, he actually came. Honestly, I think it's understandable if he didn't show up due to Cherry's qualities.” Stanley quipped from the third floor and raised his eyebrows. “As a woman, it's fine if you're stupid as long as you're good-l

Cherry blinked and appeared to be taken aback. She did not seem to understand what Hardy meant and did not show any reaction."What are you talking about?" Hardy's mum was flustered. "Today's the day of your engagement with her. Don't fool around."Meanwhile, Edward's face darkened which made him look terrifying."Cherry, you don't actually like me and the person that I like isn't you." Although his plan had been foiled, Hardy still said what he meant."The one whom I like is Nelly and she is the one I wish to marry." As soon as Hardy said that, he knew there was no turning back. As a matter of fact, he did not want to turn back.Nelly looked shocked and lifted her head at once. She looked at Hardy with fear and pain. "No, no, no…"She shook her head violently and shuddered as she stepped back slowly. Her reactions were perfect."You… You want to marry Nelly?" His mother was dumbfounded."Yes," Hardy replied with determination and without a moment's hesitation.Her gaze shifted. This
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 14
Nelly eyed the brutish man knowingly. She originally planned to lead Cherry into making false remarks. At least Grandpa would not be so hell-bent on maintaining the family's reputation if that happened.The matter would eventually be left aside and Cherry's dignity would forever be tarnished.However, Nelly never expected her grandfather to call the police."Don't… Don't call the police! I made a mistake earlier. I have nothing to do with Miss Cherry and I don't know her. My mistake, my mistake." The man immediately understood Nelly's look and laughed while he attempted to flee.The whole incident was arranged by Nelly. She wanted to exploit Cherry's stupidity and incapability of defending herself.She also wanted to make up a piece of evidence but Cherry escaped in the end. The brutish man took two steps back before being blocked by the hotel's security guard."It was a misunderstanding, I mean it! I mistook her for someone else. The woman I was talking about isn't this but she shar

“She went to Bewitching Moon Beauty Parlor at 8.10 and left at 11.43. I've been to Bewitching Moon, questioned the employees and investigated the CCTV footage. No problem.” However, what The Fly said next contradicted with a particular person's expectations.Still, Larry was aware of The Fly's capabilities. The Fly would not make a mistake.Last night, the woman jumped into his room at around nine, and from nine to one, they were…“I say that can't be Cherry” Stanley stood near him and overheard The Fly's words clearly. “Larry, I think there's no point wasting time on Cherry.”“I've found out all the women whom Henry knows. Cherry and Henry have met once, which was the time when both families were discussing Hardy and Cherry's marriage. However, Henry left after five minutes and that was the only time they met each other. From that day onwards, there was no contact between Cherry and the Max family. On the other hand, Hardy visited her family several times, but he was looking for Nell
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 16
Cherry was extremely frustrated. She was so frustrated that she wanted to bite someone. Fiancé?! Was he not afraid of being punished for telling a lie this big?“Her condition is a bit complicated.” Dr. Stead brought out a stack of files and flipped them open.Complicated? She could either be seriously ill or she could be faking it. Larry felt that it was the latter.Larry directed his gaze towards Cherry who was still within the separated space. He noticed that she sat quietly and stared blankly into space. There was no expression on her face and neither was there any reaction from her.His lips curved into a subtle smile. He wanted to see how long she could fake it.“Her illness was a result of what occurred during her childhood. There's nothing wrong with her cognitive development but due to an accident that traumatized her as a child, she defends herself by locking away her self-awareness. She doesn't use her wits and doesn't think. She has shut herself away even more since she wa
Loving The Wrong Man CHAPTER 17
Cherry walked away smugly as she overheard the increasingly inquisitive questions from the crowd. Nelly refused to answer but occasionally, gasps could be heard.In five years, Nelly became the No. 1 socialite of the City, and had mastered her ability in acting. Cherry's lips slowly parted into a subtle smile. Her younger sister's meticulously crafted plan was about to fall apart.Five years have passed and she was no longer the shy, awkward girl from long ago. Not many people now could conspire against and try to harm her.Nelly was not skilled enough to do so.Cherry had earlier driven to a shopping Mall on her own and parked her car in the basement parking level. She walked into the elevator.Perhaps everyone had gone to watch the commotion because there was no one else inside the elevator.However, the elevator doors slid open again just as they were about to close.Larry entered and was followed closely behind by Secretary Leo.Secretary Leo let out a quiet sigh. The President wa
