The next morning.Elena came downstairs.She saw a familiar face. The man who had sent the email to all the employees regarding her debt was sitting at the table.Elena rushed down the stairs. “What is he doing here?”“I brought him,” Adrian said. “He just confessed to my mom that you already paid the debt.”Elena glanced at Iva once, then shifted her gaze to that man. “Did you stepmom tell you to send that email?”“No,” he replied. “I just wanted to get more money.”“I know you’re in the finance business, but Lucia told me you’re a school dropout,” Elena said. “You couldn’t have gotten the idea of sending that email even if you wanted money.”“Your stepmom never contacted me,” he said. “I don’t even know what she looks like.”“Why did Elena even take money from you in the first place?” Iva queried.“The cafe owner Lucia was due on her business loan,” he said. “Elena took money from me and paid for that month. She paid me the money back in a couple of months.”“So you just made a mock

Adrian and Elena had lunch outside before returning home.Lilian fumed at them for not taking her along, but when she checked the dresses they bought, her anger went down.“These dresses are not bad,” Lilian said. “But if you had taken me along, I would have chosen better ones. If you want, we can still go and shop again.”“I don’t have the energy to do that,” Adrian said and went upstairs.“Are you sure?” Lilian asked. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”“Just cut it already, Lilian,” Elena said, sitting comfortably on the couch. “You can choose for your wedding.”“My wedding?” Lilian’s shoulders slumped.“Mm? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”“After you and Adrian went out, my dad gave me a lecture,” Lilian pouted. “He said he’d choose my fiance. If not, he’ll attend every date I go.”“Pfft,” Elena nearly laughed.“Is my situation funny to you?” Lilian went and sat on top of Elena’s legs and pressed her weight down on. “You should help me instead of enjoying my plight. Wh

Adrian went to the workers’ building to check on Jericho.Henry wasn’t there.When Adrian entered, Jericho got up from the bed. He was shirtless.“I’m sorry, Young Master,” Jericho said. “I can’t work for at least three days. My father said he arranged a temporary driver for you.”Adrian walked to the other side of the bed and looked at the bloody marks left on Jericho’s back.“This is the second time she did it,” Adrian said.Jericho smiled. “It’s okay, Young Master. When the servant does something wrong, it’s the master’s job to beat some sense into him.”“She beat you until you were knocked out of all your senses,” Adrian replied. “No, she made your father beat you. Killing two birds with one stone. She’s directing her frustration on Elena toward you. This might repeat again, so it’s better for you to leave this estate. I will find you a decent job.”Jericho kept smiling. “Did Young Lady Elena send you?”“She came to me, asking me to quarrel with my mother.”“She wants justice for

Later that night.The first guest arrived at the estate. Four days earlier.This guest was none other than Iva’s biological brother, her younger brother who didn’t come alone. He brought along two of his beautiful daughters who were similar in age to Lilian.Their eyes were bright as the car entered the estate.“I never thought I’d come here again,” the elder sister, Vienna, said. She had short curly hair and a long face.“Me, too,” the younger sister, Risa, quickly said. She had a round face and freckles on her nose and cheeks. “Don’t cause any trouble this time, Dad.”Their father, Milo, chuckled, scratching his beard. “One mistake in ten years, and no one lets you forget it.”“One mistake?” Vienna shot him a look. “You almost killed Adrian.”Milo’s smile stiffened, then he laughed. “Haha, I won’t repeat it.” He had a thick beard and mustache. He looked like a cowboy hunter. “If I make a mistake like the last time again, my sister will surely kill me and bury me in the backyard.”Mo

It happened too fast.Adrian couldn’t react as he wasn’t expecting that at all.But the moment she kissed him, his body moved away. “What’s wrong with you?”“What? You looked cute,” Risa said. “I wanted to kiss you.”Adrian wiped his cheek. “We’re not kids. Never do that again.”“I won’t,” she slowly said. “But you really are cute.”Adrian got up from the bed and walked out of the room.Risa touched her chest. Her heart was beating wildly. “Whew…” And then she smiled. “I’ve got four days. I will go all out if it’s necessary.”She looked around.“Whose room is this?”She checked the cupboards and saw the dresses.Each of them were top-quality dresses.Risa wasn’t from a poor family. Her mom earned close to 130K a year. So, Risa was able to buy most of the things she wanted.But the clothes she was seeing right now, and the price tags on them enlarged her eyes.There were dresses that were worth more than her mom’s salary.And then Risa saw what looked like the wedding dress.“This is s
