Author: Fishing Boat
“What are you all waiting for? Get these troublemakers out of here!

“The rest of you, what are you even doing? Our valued customers are having trouble, and you don’t know how to step in and help them right away?”

Thomas snatched the shopping bags from Chase’s hands, which left him furious.

“You’re running a business here, aren’t you? What gives you the right to refuse my business?”

“At Hartwell, we do business however we please. Whoever upsets Mr. Cottrell gets shown the door.”

    Shannon froze. After a brief hesitation, she finally made up her mind and said, “Yes. I hope you can forgive me for what I did before.”“Then, why did you bring all these cameras?” I asked as I pointed at them. “You keep claiming that Kiara is forcing me into this, but she’s never asked me to do anything. Aren’t you the one trying to pressure me?”Shannon stood rooted to the spot.“I just wanted to win you back…”I smiled bitterly.“You brought all these cameras to capture the moment you proposed. Were you really trying to win me back, or were you just chasing the attention for yourself?”My words seemed to hit home, as a flicker of guilt crossed her face.“I wanted both. Is there anything wrong with wanting attention?”“There’s nothing wrong with that. But you knew I was already married and still came here to bother me. That’s where you went wrong. Just because you want to use me doesn’t mean I’ll let you.”The moment things got tense, the cameras suddenly zoomed in on our fa

    “Who would’ve thought such a respectable-looking person would turn out to be a jerk who betrayed his girlfriend?”“Look at that guy begging him. He must’ve been through a lot to get this desperate.”When I heard those remarks, I sneered and said, “Are you really asking to borrow money for Celia, or is it to feed your gambling addiction?”Chase froze for a moment before he protested guiltily, “Of course it’s to save Celia. I never wanted to gamble. I only did it because I wanted to save her and give her a better life!”“So, that’s why you’ve been stringing along all those women, getting them to pay for you, and scamming people by passing off counterfeit goods as genuine? That’s your idea of making Celia happy?”The moment I mentioned his gambling addiction, the bystanders turned against him.“Gamblers truly have no morals. Lying comes naturally to them!”“He even tried to turn the blame on someone else! How dare he?”In an instant, Chase became everyone’s target. Overwhelmed by

    I could not stand by and watch, so I found some excuse to get into a fight with them. Only when I looked up did I realize that the waitress had been watching from the side the entire time.To comfort her, I drew a smiley face on the glass window. I had hoped that she would be happy every day from then on.I never thought she would remember it for so long.Kiara signed, “After that day, I took on all kinds of part-time jobs. I was hoping to find you one day. “I had originally planned to stay abroad, since I hadn’t recovered yet. But my parents mentioned someone named Jeremy Cottrell who seemed a lot like you. So, I flew back to see for myself.“That day, I happened to run into some trouble, so I put on a waitress uniform. When I saw you, I thought you might remember me. I never expected to come across something like that… They were awful! How could they treat you like that?”Watching Kiara adorably stand up for me melted my heart. I gently pulled her into my arms and said, “With

    “My Bentley cost over a million dollars! Kiara, how dare you smash my car? I’ll make sure you pay for this, even if it leaves you flat broke!” Celia screamed angrily.Kiara signed nonchalantly, “If I dared to do it, I clearly don’t care about a little money like that. You used your car to stop Jeremy from marrying me, so of course I had to clear the way for him.”Celia stared at the imposing Kiara.“Aren’t you just a waitress? How dare you?!”Kiara slipped her arm through mine.“As long as Jeremy is willing to marry me, I’ll find the courage to face anything for him,” she signed.Shannon seemed to have a sudden realization and spoke up quickly. “Jeremy, we know you never wanted to marry her. If you don’t marry her, we’ll go with you. Then, we’ll apologize to your grandpa and everyone else.“Drawing lots to choose a wife was just a game. Don’t sacrifice a lifetime of happiness over something like that.”Celia quickly came to her senses and chimed in, “Exactly, Jeremy. It’s fine

    I shook Celia off and confronted her.“You were the ones who made me draw lots to choose my wife. Now that I have one, what exactly are you unhappy about?”Celia hurriedly said, “It was just a game, Jeremy. How could you take it seriously? I know you’re only doing this to get back at us. I’m sorry. I’ve already gotten the ring back from Chase. From now on, you’ll be the only one wearing it.”“Stop wasting your time. I’m getting married today. Try stopping me again, and I’ll have you driven away.”Celia completely lost it.“This mute must’ve forced you into this, right? I’ll get rid of her now!”Celia reached for Kiara, but I moved in front of her and shielded her. I kept Celia and Shannon from even touching the hem of her clothes.Shannon teared up as she looked at me with a hurt expression.“Jeremy, you used to protect us…”Although Celia and Shannon had some standing in our social circle, they still faced malicious attacks as women. Neither of them was physically as strong a

    Kiara had not only changed her clothes that day but also put on some light makeup. For a moment, I genuinely did not recognize her.Kiara glanced around before her eyes finally settled on me. She walked over with a frown and signed, “Why are they here?”I had learned sign language for a while since I was autistic and had been reluctant to speak as a child. So, I understood what she meant right away.Not wanting her to worry about my problems, I casually changed the subject.“What brings you here?”Before Kiara could reply, Thomas spoke up. “Didn’t you agree to come over today to discuss the wedding arrangements and go over the financial details? Miss Sterling noticed that you still hadn’t arrived after all this time, so she came herself. “She never expected to walk in on this…”Mom finally noticed that Shannon and the others were still there.She had never liked Shannon or Celia to begin with. Seeing them refuse to leave only made her dislike them even more.“Where’s security
