"Of course I still need it!" Tom hurriedly protested. He didn't dare imagine how angry Jean would have been this time with Lilia being interrupted, but Tom had no other choice. "Bro, I wouldn't bother you if I didn't have to, but the mayor is waiting for you in the lobby. He has to leave the party early because of other business." Tom explained, hoping that his friend would forgive him. He was afraid of Jean's anger, but he couldn't refuse the mayor's request either. Jean nodded, "I'll deal with…

Jean's presence made Lilia feel at ease in the middle of the quiet garden. After a few steps, Lilia turned around and looked at the man following her in silence. She kept wondering whether Jean would be offended by this question, but her curiosity prevailed, "Do you know Sara Hartanto?" She asked. Jean put a hand in his pocket and brushed his blonde hair in the night breeze. His handsome appearance made Lilia's heart beat faster. "She is Chris's younger sister and the third grandchild of the…

Sara's appearance ruined Lilia's mood. Jean could see the change in her expression and let go of her from his embrace. The man turned to gently grasping Lilia's hand to show his support. Sara smiled kindly as she greeted her sister's friends. Her gaze fell on Lilia and she looked surprised to see Jean and Lilia's hands intertwined. Lilia's eyes were fixed on Sara's smooth, flawless legs. Her lips lifted into a sinister smile. It seemed like Sara was tired of pretending to be a victim of a car…

Lilia looked at the crowd around the red carpet before glancing at the president. She realized for the first time that Jean looked very tall. Even in high heels, Lilia's head only reached his chin. Jean then felt the woman's gaze and turned his head, "Tense?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. His deep, low voice gave Lilia a sense of security. Lilia answered his question by flashing a confident smile. She was a professional model. She was used to this kind of attention from the crowd. Lilia's only…

After Lilia read Jean's message, she ran to the window overlooking the highway. Her eyes found a familiar black car. A male figure leaned casually against the body of the car smoking a cigarette. Jean's tall body was clad in a formal black suit, as if he had headed straight here from his office. The evening sunshine fell on Jean's blonde hair and made him look bright and gleaming. Jean suddenly turned his head towards her, as if he could feel Lilia's gaze. Even from a distance, Lilia could see the faint…

Even though Lilia had accepted that fate, her mother still pressured her to follow her wishes. Sylvia's presence felt like a boulder pressed against Lilia's chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. Lilia kicked the pebbles on the ground hoping that someone would cheer her up at this time. Suddenly Jean's face flashed…

After the dinner ended, Lilia went home first with her parents. Jean accompanied James and Irene to wait for their pickup in the lobby of the Italian restaurant. Suddenly James said, "Jean, I think I know why you are attracted to that woman now. She really is different from other women!" James never imagined that there would be a woman who could marry into a prestigious family like the Widjaya family but did not actually want a wedding. Instead, Lilia acted like she didn't want to marry Jean if given…

Peeking from Robert's side, Sylvia couldn't help but read the list too. The moment she saw the total value of the dowry, her calculating gaze immediately lit up. Seeing the joy shown by her mother, a feeling of tightness filled Lilia's chest again. She was tempted to ask Sylvia whether she was happy because her future son-in-law valued her daughter so much or because of the fact that she managed to sell her daughter at a high price. Lilia bit her lips and clenched her fists even tighter until her…
