âIf it is for business, it is okay to get married as long as you two donât intervene in each otherâs personal life. Jensen spoke out his thoughts.
âYou are too utilitarian I canât do that.
âMy wife should be a beautiful woman whom I have a crush on at first sight. She must have a perfect appearance, great intelligence, and a strong aura. Such woman is my favorite.â
Dillan waved his hand and added, âYou are not me. You donât understand.â
Jensen didnât say anything more and talked about the expo again.
âCan you help solve the problem I am facing now?â
Dillan patted his chest and said, âThe expo has two organizers, Glory Corporation and my company. Patrick will do me a favor if I call and ask for a favor.â
Dillan then picked up his phone and dialed a number.
However, no one answered the phone after more than ten seconds of ringing. Dillan didnât give up and called again
This time the call was declined directly. Obviously, Patrick didnât want to talk about it.
After putting away his phone, Dillan looked embarrassed.
Jensen seldom asked Dillan for help. That was why Dillan swore he would help him to solve the problem. But he didnât expect that his phone call would be dismissed by Patrick directly.
With embarrassment, Dillan touched his nose and said, âI guess he is busy. You just finished a long journey. Let me take you to have fun. I can call Patrick again later.â
Jensen then followed Dillan out of the office. He knew that Dillanâs phone call was rejected deliberately.
Jensen thought it might be impossible for Dillan to make it even though he promised he would try again. later.
thought he had to turn to Gilda if he wanted to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, Gilda was in a famous brand store that customized dresses for special customers.
Patrick was sitting on the leather sofa, looking stately and aloof.
After rejecting a phone call, Patrick looked up at Gilda who was standing there with a designer taking Gildaâs waist measurement with a cloth tape. âJensen came to Geleston and asked Dillan for help.â
Patrick stared at Gildaâs face as he said that, worrying that his sister hadnât really let that marriage go and moved on.
Gilda didnât show any emotion on her face. She turned around and asked the designer to continue measuring her waistline. âPatrick, just leave this matter to me.â

A woman with a happy smile on her face rushed over and hugged Gilda. She was so happy that she held Gilda for a good while.
When Gilda heard the voice, she knew it was her best friend Megan Dunst. Gilda suddenly choked with tears in her eyes, replying, âMe too!â
Megan let go of Gilda and said, âYou are heartless! You havenât contacted me for three years. You didnât

Gilda was touched. âYou are my best friend forever. I just feel embarrassed to tell you about it.â
Gilda and continued, âYou tried your best to persuade me back then. But Iâm stubborn and even argue with you. Now I got divorced⦠In short, I am embarrassed to see you.â
When Gilda chose to marry into the Harrington family, she agreed to give up her multiâbrand boutique and work as a secretary at Harrington Corporation. Megan had persuaded Gilda many times. She told. Gilda that Jensen was not suitable for Gilda and that Gilda should have a wider world.
But Gilda lost her reason because of love, so she ignored Meganâs opinion and unilaterally closed the multiâbrand boutique founded by the two of them.
The multiâbrand boutique represented their common dream but was ruined by Gilda. Megan went to Frencia in a fit of anger. They broke off contact since the
Megan held Gildaâs hand and said indignantly, âJensen should feel embarrassed. He is blind and an idiot!

Gilda burst into tears. She Megan looked at each other and smiled.
âDonât cry, Gilly.â Megan took out a tissue wiped off Gildaâs tears. âLetâs go. I have arranged a party for you tonight! You got rid of a bad man and restart your own life. We should celebrate!â
âOK.â
Gilda a glance at Patrick and found that he was waiting patiently for her. She then held Meganâs hand again.
Gilda felt that she was so stupid back then when she thought that she left so many people who loved her. for a ruthless man.
Gilda thought, âFamily affection and friendship⦠Both of them are more precious than romantic relationships.
