Still in a state of confusion, Rena wondered if he had overheard Winnieâs remarks just moments ago.
As she regained her composure, she struggled against his grip and queried, âWaylen, what are you doing?â
Waylen tightened his grip on her shoulder with determination.
Lowering his gaze to meet hers, he asserted, âIâll have your back, no matter what.
â
Inside the cafe, Winnie and Robert continued their heated argument.
Suddenly, Winnie caught sight of Waylen entering, his arm wrapped around Rena.
Enraged, Winnie pointed at Waylen and Rena, addressing Robert, âSee! You cannot marry this girl.
If you do, she will bring ruin upon our familyâs reputation.
â
Robertâs face grew pale as he turned his gaze towards Rena.
Rena yearned to speak up, but Waylen whispered in her ear, âIf you dare utter a word, Iâll ki*s you right here in front of them.
â
Rena found herself speechless.
Waylen then directed his gaze towards Winnie.
With an air of sophistication, he assumed an elegant demeanor and greeted, âGreetings, Mrs.
Figueroa.
I trust you have been faring well as of late.
â
Winnie snorted in contempt.
âI cannot claim to be faring well.
Waylen,
kindly escort Miss Gordon away! She is beyond Robertâs league.
â
Initially, Winnie had viewed Rena as a mere plaything of Waylenâs.
Hence, she felt justified in employing sarcastic remarks.
Waylen sneered in response.
Deliberately enunciating each word, he declared, âIndeed, the Figueroa family is undoubtedly beyond Renaâs reach.
â
A look of shock washed over Winnieâs face.
âWaylen, are you willing to go against me because of an inconsequential woman? How will you explain this to your parents if they were to find out?â
Waylen emitted a harsh laugh.
âMrs.
Figueroa, I am already 28 years old.
If I have to rely on my parents to resolve every predicament I create in the outside world, then I am no better than a failure! By the way⦠what I truly wish to convey to you is that Rena is indeed a woman I once doted on.
Yes, what Iâm saying here is that sheâs Indeed too good for your family.
The truth is, I had a minor disagreement with Rena.
Consequently, in a fit of pique, she briefly dated Robert for a mere ten days.
Just ten days.
You can find amusement in that fact.
Regarding others, regarding the days to comeâ¦â

A faint smile curved Waylenâs lips, yet the depths of his eyes remained untouched by the smile.
Waylen continued, âI do not want anyone to discover that Rena spent ten days with Robert.
Should there be anyone who dares to gossip about this matter in the future, Mrs.
Figueroa, I assure you, I will ensure the downfall of the Figueroa family.
I will then employ the resulting wealth to purchase fireworks and illuminate the skies of Duefron for an entire month.
And after that, the Figueroa family shall be nonexistent in Duefron.

Winnie, pointing accusatively at Waylen, was overcome with such rage that she nearly swooned.
