When they sat down at the dinner table, Harriet, who had consciously chosen the seat furthest away from Wesley, obediently moved to the seat beside him under his fierce gaze.
It was really hard to figure out why he was so stubborn in such a detail when he obviously didnât like her. And It gave her false hopes now and then.
âIf you have the courage to ask me to pick you up, you needn't care about the reputation.â Wesley tried to break the embarrassment.
Harriet didnât say that the request was just an excuse. But she didnât expect Jack to be so honest as to actually call him. And now she felt embarrassed.
âI'm conflicted, too.â Harriet said sincerely, âI wish you would pay more attention to me, but it makes me feel guilty to think that you would be involved in a negative scandal because of me.â
Wesley looked up at her.
Harriet was momentarily guilty, but she knew that Wesley liked the sweet-mouthed and smooth woman best, and if she behaved well, she would not be embarrassed today, so she was pretending to be compliant.
âDonât you hate me?â Wesley asked coldly.
He remembered that the anger and hatred in her eyes were not false when he forced her.
Harriet replied, âEveryone changes. Since you still want to keep the previous relationship, and thereâs nothing wrong with it. Youâll give me everything I want anyway, wonât you?â
The answer seemed to be perfect, but Wesley didnât feel happy.
The two-year relationship was, in a word, a bargain in which everyone got what they wanted. He was in love with her good body, and she needed money to pay her familyâs medical bills, that was all, but now he wanted more.
It wasnât just her body that he was supposed to take.
âWell, Mr. Smith, can you tell me that how is Irene now?â Harriet tried to change another topic.
Wesley said, âShe went to a nursing home abroad.â
Harriet was shocked.
Well, it seemed that if someone offended him, she would suffer a lot.
Everyone knew that the Whittys had two daughter, and they discriminate against the entertainment industry. Thus, the Whittys did not agree with Irene into the entertainment industry.
However, because they loved Irene too much, finally they had to allow her to join the entertainment circle. Therefore, everyone knew that.
The Whittys loved their daughter so much, but now they had to sacrifice one daughter because of Wesley.
âWell, are they causing you trouble?â Wesley asked.
Harriet shook her head, âNo, I donât think the press has done me any wrong.â
âThose rumors will die down sooner or later. Never mind.â Wesley said.
Heâs not a star, so he did not worry about fame. After all, the business world cared about oneâs capability instead of fame.
As long as the career was successful, then the black reputation could be changed, but the star was not the same, once the reputation was discredited, he would be banned and even forced to give up the star career.
â...Got it.â
Looking at Wesleyâs indifference, Harriet did not believe that he would not know that.
Well, he just cared when she could make love with him.
Wesley added, âI will deal with the press.â
Harriet did not say anything.
Harriet had to meet Wesley for the next few days. Though she said that she were willing to keep a good relationship with Wesley, she never intended to do so.
Because she still had some pride.
Fortunately, her brother had already moved out with his girlfriend, so she didn't have to be so timid with Wesley âPlease, Colin...â
On the street, Louisa held Colinâs hand and asked him to accompany her to a private party.
Colin was embarrassed, âIs it inappropriate for me to accompany you to the party?â
Louisa said, âWhy not? You are my boyfriend, how can they dare to say anything? Whatâs more, everyone else has company, but I don't. Will you leave me alone?â
âWell...Ok.â Colin agreed and said, âLetâs go as soon as weâve bought something. It wonât be nice if your family sees us outside.â
Now Colin also knew the reason why Louisa was blamed by her family and he always worried about Louisa.
Louisa rolled her eyes, âWell, I do not care about whether they would know. If they know, then weâll go public, or weâll elope together!â
Colin felt helpless. He did not know whether his girlfriend was naive or silly. How could she say the word âelopementâ?
Wesley saw someone in a black sedan in nearby traffic.
Wesley thought Louisa dating with Colin was just for fun, but now it seemed different. He has not seen Louisa dating with a man for more than a week, but this time...
Wesley frowned, âCheck out how long they've been together and how familiar they are.â
Jack nodded, âYes.â
Jack had a strong ability to handle affairs, so he went to the office and reported the news to Wesley in the afternoon.
âMiss Jones claimed that Colin was her boyfriend and even bought a house for him. It seemed that sheâs serious.â
Wesley narrowed his eyes.
Well, it seemed that Louisa and her brother were good at loving. And How could Louisa do that? Did she think that Wesley could bear her no matter what she did?
Wesley didnât care. His love for Louisa was gone, and even though their engagement was still there, marrying Louisa was just an obligation for him.
But if the man was Colin, he had to do something.
âDonât let Harriet know this thing.â Wesley said.

In the evening, Wesley met Allen at a lively business party.
âWesley, why did you leave early last time? Didnât you mean to have dinner at home?â Allen asked.
Wesley replied, âThen you should go to ask your daughter.â
Allen felt nervous.
In the past, Wesley did not use âyour daughterâ to replace Louisaâs name no matter what happened. But something unhappy happened at last birthday party made both families feel embarrassed. So Allen was afraid that Wesley would hate his daughter.
âIf Louisa made a mistake, I apologize for her.â
Wesley raised his eyebrows slightly, âNo, I just want to remind you that your daughter has been backsliding recently, and if she really wants to marry me, she needs to pay attention to her attitude.â
Allen frowned, âLouisa is still young so that she knows less. But I promise that she would think twice and admitted her mistake.â
Wesley said coldly, âYouâve pampered her enough over the years. If you still think sheâs a child, then we can call off the marriage.â
Allen felt embarrassed. Wesley was very angry, but Allen had to bear it, after all, Louisa was wrong.
