Lily was startled to see Arsen suddenly appear. The man looked at her before his eyes dropped to Bryan’s hand, which was still gripping her arm."Take your hands off her!" Arsen repeated his command.Lily pulled away with all her might, wrenching her hand free from Bryan's grip until he finally let go.Lily stepped closer to Arsen, and her husband immediately shielded her, taking a step forward to place himself between them.Lily was terrified that Arsen might be furious, but the moment he reached out and took her hand in his firm grasp, she realized he had come to protect her.Meanwhile, Bryan clenched his fists at his sides—whether out of sheer rage or jealousy over the intimacy between his uncle and his former fiancée, it was impossible to tell."Well, well... what is this? Are you two trying to put on a romantic show for me?" Arya sneered sarcastically. He remained seated in his plush chair, his gaze shifting back and forth between Arsen and Lily."Judging by the panicked look on

Lily chose to spend her time in the library. She sat there lost in thought until Aunt Jess came in to remind her to rest."Miss, why are you still here? Master called earlier asking what you were doing," Aunt Jess said."Really? Why didn't he ask me himself?" Lily replied, glancing down at her phone lying on the desk.Lily had no idea what Arsen was planning, even though the man had promised to share a secret with her tonight. Given the current circumstances, she was clearly hesitant to bring it up."And what did you tell my husband, Auntie?" Lily asked."I didn't dare lie, so I told him that ever since coming home, you've stayed in the library."Lily nodded. She thanked Aunt Jess and asked to be left alone."I still want to stay here for a little while," Lily said.Aunt Jess asked if she needed anything. However, since Lily replied that she didn't need a thing, Aunt Jess excused herself, leaving Lily alone once more.Lily reached for her phone, needing to check for herself and verify

Thomas reached into the man's trouser pockets to search them. He slapped the back of the man's head as he tried to struggle during the pat-down.Along with the phone, Thomas also confiscated his wallet and handed it to Jerry—who immediately pulled out the man's identity card."This bastard's name is Doni," Jerry said, handing Doni's national ID card over to Arsen."You really thought you could get away with this? How dare you play a part in humiliating and framing someone at a major event," Thomas said.He managed to get hold of the man's phone, but it was locked with a passcode."What's the code?" Arsen asked after Thomas handed Doni's phone to him.Doni remained tight-lipped. He winced in pain when Thomas slapped him across the cheek.Arsen handed the phone back to Thomas, then grabbed Doni's jaw in a vice-like grip."You clearly have no idea who I am. I can make you vanish from the face of the earth without anyone ever knowing—and I'll make sure not even your own family goes lookin

Lily was occupied with her work when a knock sounded at her office door. She looked up and invited the person outside to enter.She saw Hendra carrying some files, stepping up to her desk, and setting them down."You've only been transferred here for two days, yet you've adjusted remarkably well," Lily praised him.Hendra smiled awkwardly, visibly flattered. He then glanced out toward the office through the glass wall, whose blinds Lily deliberately kept open at all times."What is it? Is something wrong?" Lily set her pen down, momentarily pausing from signing one document out of the stack on her desk."Pardon me, but you haven't told Juna about my suspicions, have you? After thinking it over, I might have just seen wrong that day."Lily understood exactly what Hendra meant; she shifted her gaze from him toward Juna's desk, where the man appeared absorbed in his work.Back in the cafeteria that day, Hendra had actually revealed to Lily who the suspicious figure he spotted was.Having

Arsen looked back at Lily, urging his wife to finish her meal quickly."I'll have Thomas look into it. You shouldn't stress over this. Look after your health and our baby—don't let yourself get overwhelmed," Arsen advised."How could I possibly be stressed with a husband like you?" Lily laughed. She was about to take another bite, but something crossed her mind first.She remembered several promises she and Arsen had made."Oh, right! We still need to find a gift for Aunt Jess's child, and visit the obstetrician," Lily said."Mm... I don't plan on meeting Bryan for long. We can pick up the gift briefly before heading home. But aside from that, it seems you've forgotten something equally important." Arsen narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at Lily."What?" Lily asked, her brow furrowing faintly."Our wedding banquet."Lily offered a shy, subtle smile. She looked down at her food and said, "Aren't you going to propose to me first before that?"Arsen suppressed a laugh, feeling the u
