“Leave it to us!”
“Don’t hold back!”
“Well remember that antique rosewood chair from the auction that Winston had you bid for, Mandy Alyssa asked. “T4 uke to have it?
Mandy and Colene shared a look. “You really aren’t holding back.”
Winston was someone who wouldn’t bat an eye when it came to buying properly and cars or giving away his money.
But when it came to antiques, he’d hoard them like some kind of wizened dragon. Asking him to part with his rosewood chair would likely be a futile endeavor.
Mandy blinked rapidly, seemingly lost in thought. “I’ll find a way to convince him to give it up. But why do you want it?
“If he knew why, he’d never give it to me.”
“I got you! Don’t worry!” Colene grinned, smacking her chest in affirmation. “If he doesn’t want to hand it over, Fl steal it for your
Alyssa burst into giggles.
If it really came to that, Winston would surely have to keep an eye out!
Jeremy barely slept after the drive back from Belbank, Nonetheless, he still dragged himself to the office the next day for work.
Liana called him twice. He picked up both times but couldn’t really concentrate on the conversation.
Liana rambled on and on about their wedding.
She spoke about her wedding gowns, limited edition Jewelry, and a fairytale princess theme for the event. After all, their wedding had been rescheduled to an earlier date due to Newton’s 80th birthday being next week.
“What do you think of these ideas, Jeremy? I spent a month coming up with them after working with my team!” Liana said excitedly, trying to prove her capabilities to Jeremy.
“They’re alright as long as you like them,” came Jeremy’s faint reply.
He was staring at the broken lavender bracelet from last night. All he could think about was Alyssa’s cold rejection of him while standing with the Taylor family.
With an annoyed sigh, he closed the jewelry box.
“I’ve even picked out your suit, Jeremy! You need to come with me to meet the designer later today. I can handle everything else, but you need to be there for the fitting.” Liana implored.
She added, “That world¨Cfamous designer is visiting the city today, so we need to make sure to meet them before we lose this chance.”
Jeremy slowly came back to his senses. “Alright. I’m sorry I haven’t spoken to you lately. I’ve been really busy with work.”
Liana was smiling on the other end of the phone. “It’s okay. I’m willing to do anything for you, Jeremy.”
“I’ll come to fetch you later in the alternoon.”
“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
Jeremy hung up the call, Xavier came over with a bundle of documents and set them down before his boss. “Sir, the hotel’s PR department has successfully contacted the celebrity superstar, Ada Kingsley. Here are her plans for the wedding.
“Mm.” Jeremy slowly flipped through the documents, expression serious. 1
Berenike Hotel, his family’s hotel, had suffered a fall in the stock market after Betty’s scandals made the news. Consequently, KS World Hotel had benefitted much from it. It had even climbed up the ranks to become the top hotel for accommodations.

Jeremy’s eye twits bed upon heading that naine.
“Are you sure? Jeremy asked solemnly.
“Well, sir. I phoned Ada’s manager myself. She was the one who said Ms. Taylor had contacted them first. The manager actually intends for us to compete for the opportunity… Xavier’s voice grew smaller as he continued, noticing how Jeremy’s face was growing more menacing by the second.
“What else did they say?”
“The manager also said that they know Berenike Hotel has always been famous and well¨Cknown, but KS World Hotel’s been in the limelight lately, so they want us to prove to them why they should pick us for the wedding. Our plans need to win them over before Ada even considers working with us.”
Jeremy slammed the table, feeling unbearably irritated.
Allison Burton was already annoying enough to deal with. And now Alyssa Taylor was here trying to compete for their project? Were these women specifically sent to torment him?
“Arrange a meeting with all department heads and directors tomorrow. We need to come up with a high¨Cend wedding proposal to present to Ada Kingsley,” Jeremy ordered. “If we fail to secure this project and Alyssa Taylor wins it, then everyone involved in the proposal will be dismissed!”
Xavier nodded and scheduled the meeting. It appeared his boss was exacting vengeance for having to climb up those ten flights of stairs last month!
After lunch, Jeremy drove Liana over to meet the fashion designer she had mentioned earlier.
“I thought we were meeting the designer?” he asked, confused as to why they were in front of a lavishly decorated six¨Cstory building. The Victorian¨Cstyle gate caught his attention as it was stylized with elaborately carved roses.
“She’s right inside. This is the private design firm of the renowned designer, Rose Emerson!” Liana squealed.
She continued, “Although her clothing brand, Rozabela, has numerous branches in malls nationwide, they still can’t compare to what she can create for us. That’s why we’re here today! She’s going to specially design our wedding outfits!”
Liana had gotten her hair done today just for this occasion, even dying it a light caramel color. She was dressed in a backless red cocktail gown, and her lips were painted bright red.
All Jeremy could think about when he saw the red on her was Allison Burton, as if only she could paint her lips that red. Anyone else who tried to mimic her would only embarrass themselves.
“It’s just clothes,” he grunted. “I don’t need to get another set of clothes. We’ll just get yours done.”
“Aw, come on! I’m going to be your wife soon. I should get you nice clothes too. You mustn’t keep any clothes other women give you from now on, okay?” Liana mewled, leaning against his shoulder.
Jeremy’s heart dropped just the slightest as he recalled the suit Allison had made for him. He had tried his best to maintain it over the years. even when it frayed and tore at the edges.
But clearly, Allison didn’t appreciate the gifts he gave her in the same manner. She hadn’t defended him at all when the bracelet he’d made for her had been tossed onto the ground, breaking apart.
He pursed his lips, saying quietly. “Okay.”
The two got out of the car and went up to the door. They were stopped by a man in a suit, who said, “My apologies, but Ms. Emerson has a private event today. Only invitees are allowed.”
“Look at what we have,” Liana said with a delighted grin, showing the man two Invitation cards with rose gold roses printed on them.
“Then, this way, please,” the man nodded and showed them inside.
Several other guests were enjoying drinks and conversation in the event hall, all dressed finely.
Jeremy hadn I expected Liana to bring him to such an occasion. She had kept it from nim the whole morning. No wonder she was dressed like this.
He didn’t like how things were going. He never participated in any dinner parties or high tea events unless he had to meet with a client. Right now, he fell like he was being taken advantage of by Liana.
Sure enough, his appearance shocked many of the guests.
“Isn’t that Jeremy Walsh from Walsh Group?”
“It really is him! Damn, he’s even more handsome in person!”
“Who’s that woman with him? How lucky she must be!”
“What? Don’t you know who that is? That’s Liana Gardner, Mr. Walsh’s fiancee! She’s the one he divorced his ex¨Cwife for. Imagine that!”
“Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?”
Liana was high on all the gossip, feeling unbelievably proud of herself. To her, every woman here was envious of her because she had successfully won over a man as fine as Jeremy Walsh.
Liana had begged Sophia for those two invitation cards. Her resentment at having to stoop so low had now dissipated.
“Why didn’t you tell me we were coming to an event like this? You know don’t like these things,” Jeremy grumbled quietly, his jaw tight.
“I wouldn’t have been able to ask Ms. Emerson to make my wedding dress for me, given my social status. That’s why I wanted you to come. She’s sure to agree to my request if you ask her.”
Jeremy’s face had darkened. Liana hurriedly added, “I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you beforehand.”
