ade gazed at Tiffany's helpless expression, feeling a slight pang in her heart. She sensed that this matter wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.Just yesterday, she and Caelan had discussed marriage with Kennedy. Now, Byron was talking about marrying the McAuley heiress? How could this be mere coincidence?Besides, Byron's reputation as a playboy made Tiffany marrying him akin to walking into trouble."Don't worry, Tiffany. Let's think of a solution together. Maybe we can find a way out," Jade said, although she didn't have any good ideas.The situation was urgent, so she could only comfort Tiffany and ask her to relax.Tiffany nodded, but there was no trace of joy on her face. She knew that Jade's words were just to comfort her. What could an outsider like Jade do to help her?"Did they say when you'll meet?" Jade asked.Tiffany replied woefully, "Tonight.""So soon?" Jade took in a sharp breath. Things were progressing much faster than she had anticipated. Tiffany
Tiffany wore sunglasses that covered most of her face, her straight hair cascading down and nearly obscuring her features. Jade gently pushed aside Tiffany's long locks and noticed red spots on her fair skin, a clear sign that the drug had taken effect."Wait here. I'll be right back," Jade said, gently settling Tiffany down before turning and entering the club.Before coming, she had meticulously dressed and adorned herself with her most precious jewelry. As she stepped inside, her presence immediately drew the staff's attention, who eyed her as though she were a walking ATM."Miss, for how many guests?" Jade remained composed as she asked, "Do you have escorts?"The server was taken aback, caught off guard by her direct request. While each club had its own specialized service personnel, they typically conducted their business discreetly. Never before had someone made such a straightforward request as Jade.Upon hearing her words, the staff's demeanor toward her changed. They s
The escorts were momentarily stunned. Despite getting various special requests from customers, being asked to act was a first for them.Seeing their puzzled expressions, Jade explained. "It's simple. You just need to act like you've been dumped and are begging for a reconciliation. It shouldn't be difficult."Jade scanned each of their faces. "Got it?"Realizing they were just going to act, the men breathed a sigh of relief. While they might not be good at other things, they were adept at charming women.Jade nodded in satisfaction. "Once it's done, each of you will receive 7,000 dollars.""Got it." Motivated by money, the men enthusiastically agreed.Jade gathered them around and carefully explained each person's role and the sequence of their appearance, then returned to Tiffany's side."Why did it take you so long?" Tiffany glanced at her watch. It had been 40 minutes already. She nervously looked outside the hotel, but Byron's car hadn't arrived yet.Jade smirked slyly. "I
Tiffany observed Byron's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jade's plan was working.Men were visual creatures, and first impressions were important. Now that Byron surely had the urge to flee, their plan was already halfway successful."Let's go in. It's chilly out here." Tiffany rubbed her arms, hinting that Byron should take off his coat and offer it to her.Instead, he just replied, "Alright, let's go inside."Byron opened the door and gallantly gestured for Tiffany to enter first, subtly backing away as she stepped in.Seeing his barely-concealed disgust, Tiffany almost burst out laughing."Tiffany." Just then, a man rushed over and blocked Tiffany's path.Startled, Tiffany looked around. When she saw Jade give her a signal from where she was hidden, she realized this was Jade's arrangement.Feeling overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events, Tiffany was unable to find her footing. Just as she was at a loss, Escort No. 1 hugged her and burst into tears. "
Tiffany feigned anxiousness as she hurried after Byron, but she glanced back at Jade and made a victorious gesture. Jade urged her to hurry and not let Byron catch on. Tiffany nodded and followed him."Sorry about that. I had no idea things would turn out like this." Tiffany caught up with Byron, smiling awkwardly. "Could you please not tell my parents about this? I promise there won't be a next time."Seeing Tiffany's anxious expression, Byron took a deep breath and reminded himself to prioritize the bigger picture. Tiffany's past was just that—the past. What mattered was that she was marrying him. He was her future husband."I hope you remember what you said today." Byron's tone was threatening. He had leverage over Tiffany now, so she would have to listen to him in the future.Tiffany nodded humbly, looking docile. "I understand."Both the Fitzgerald and the McAuley parents were already waiting at the restaurant. As Tiffany and Byron walked in together, they caught everyone's e
Robert was very curious to know what could make Tiffany risk being scolded just to be able to leave. She was the Fitzgeralds’ future daughter-in-law, and they couldn't afford any mishaps.Byron was also quite curious. He found an excuse to go to the restroom and followed her.As soon as Byron came out of the room, he saw Tiffany heading to the stairwell with her phone. He stealthily followed her, wanting to hear who she was talking to."I love you. Of course I love you. Just give me some time and I'll definitely divorce him. He'd have to pay alimony, and that would not be a small amount..."Upon hearing this, Byron couldn't take it anymore. He kicked open the door to the stairwell and angrily confronted Tiffany. "Tiffany, you have some nerve.""Ah!" Tiffany screamed, looking at Byron in a panic. She stuttered, "Y-You… You were eavesdropping on my conversation?""Fortunately, I followed you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you had such intentions. Do you think the Fitzgeralds are
Byron pushed open the door with a grim face. He held Raelyn in front of him and announced to everyone coldly, "I've decided to marry Raelyn."Both sets of parents were shocked, not understanding why the identity of the bride had changed after a short absence. Robert, in particular, looked very unhappy.Originally, he had chosen Tiffany because of her status as the McAuley heiress. If Byron married her, it would be a great boost for them. If the two families were connected, they could also help each other in business.As for Raelyn, she was just the illegitimate daughter of a mistress—someone who couldn't be publicly acknowledged. What would people think if the Fitzgeralds accepted her? They'd become a laughing stock.Just the thought of the Fitzgeralds being ridiculed made Robert's mood sour. He waved his hand, indicating that Byron should not rush. He smiled at Warren and Merida and said, "Byron must've had too much to drink. That is why he is talking nonsense. Don't listen to him
"What do you mean?"Jade remained calm, her eyes shining brightly in the night, her gaze comforting. "Don't worry, I have a plan. You can stay at my place for a few days, and I promise your parents won't bring up the marriage again."Tiffany had first-hand experience with what Jade could do. She was meticulous, so she wouldn't just leave a mess for someone else to clean up.Tiffany's anxious heart finally calmed down. She was no longer worried about how to explain this to her parents, so she followed Jade back to her house.The university wasn't safe. Tiffany's parents would immediately think she’d go back to campus. If things got out of hand at school, it would be even harder to handle it.Jade had considered all the possible implications, so she took Tiffany directly to her villa.It had been a long time since Jade had stayed there. This was because of her intense studies, as well as because of her tense relationship with Caelan during that time. She didn't want to feel uncomfo
