Mason was quiet for a while giving her a look of disbelief before he burst into a peal of laughter."Miss Verne, you really are funny_ Hero's stepmom, omg! Then I'm probably Hero's stepdad," Mason said in-between laughter.Mason, thought that Jules only said that to push him away, so he didn't take her seriously."You don't believe me?" She questioned, her cheek flushed in embarrassment. "Why would I believe you?" Mason answered, making Jules pout her mouth in annoyance. 'Why did he ask if he's not going to believe.'Jules wanted to say something, however, a waiter came and requested their order."Sir, what would you like to have?" the waiter asked, tilting his gaze from Mason to Jules."What would you like to have, Miss Verne?" Mason redirected the question to Jules.She scanned through the menu, and did not know what to pick so she said, "Why don't you pick Mr.clay?"Mason nodded, then he told the waiter, what he wanted and that he should get the same for Jules.A few minutes later

Harris and Harley watched the scene in awe. "What Just happened," Harris whispered to Harley, who rolled her eyes and said, "I should be the one asking_ you're the adult after all."Harris pouted his mouth and turn to his father, who quickly stood up to avoid his children's question.Mr.Harper walked hastily toward his room, but not before casting a gaze at Jules's room. The reason he was not bothered about those photos was because he knew the kind of person she is. Besides, they were not truly married, and she had the right to be with whoever she wanted, although he wanted it to be his son Hero.However, Hero was blinded by his hate for her, that he couldn't see the good in her.From what Mr.Harper observed in those photos earlier, he could tell that Mason clay was somehow interested in Jules and was the one making an advance toward her_ After all, which single young man in his right sense would not be interested in Jules? she's smart, beautiful, and has a good heart. Everything abou

The little girl gave the man a suspicious look but decided to follow the man since he could get her into the club.As they walked into the club, they attracted a lot of attention. And people wondered how someone could bring his daughter or little sister to the club. How strange? Doesn't he know she's a minor?The man and the little girl both ignored the people's stares and gossip and marched into a different VIP section of the club and once they were sitted, the man tilts his gaze to the little girl. "So Harley Scott, what brings you to the club?"A surprised look flashed across Harley's face as she wondered how the man knew her. Although Harley was not as popular as her father and brothers Hero and Harris, some people still knew her from the few functions she attended with her family."Who are you, and how did you know my name?" Harley asked, raising her eyebrow in question.The man chuckled softly, then he said, "I'm Mason clay. Also, your brother Hero and I are business partners."

Hero was filled with rage as he stared at different pictures of Jules and Harley in a nightclub.'So that vile woman took Harley to a club, and she had the guts to ask me why I cared,' He thought as his grip on the phone tightened.What made him angrier was the fact that Harley had lied to him without thinking twice about it. She did so just to save that woman's skin.In the past, Harley would always tell him the truth regardless of the consequences, however, ever since Jules came into the picture, she became the complete opposite. She lied to him with ease.It now seemed like the more Jules stayed with them, the more narrow-minded Harley became. Thinking about that, Hero, felt like he had to do something to save his family from the clutches of the vile woman. However, he had no idea what to do.Sighing, he gave the picture one more look, before tossing his phone on the bed. Nonetheless, he hastily picked it up again as if recalling something.Yes! He recalled that there was an applic

Meanwhile, Jules was unaware of the storm that awaits her at the Scott mansion, so she stayed longer at the hospital since she barely got time to visit her mom...She was happy that her mother was improving, and at any moment, she would wake up from her coma, as the doctor had said.However, there was still this guilty feeling that surges through her whenever she thinks about what would happen after her mother's recovery, and when she'd leave the Scott mansion.Will the others also see her as a gold digger when they find out she was never married to their father but pretended to, just for money?They might probably be disappointed in her and even start to hate her just like Hero and Hardin do now. Thinking about it, Jules became scared_ for some reason she didn't want Harley and Harris to hate her, perhaps because she was already so familiar with them, or due to the fact that she barely had any friends or people in life, as she was always busy running around for money....It was eve
