Why did Rena possess a temper even more fiery than Vera's?

What did Waylen see in her?

Coincidentally, Joseph happened to be having dinner with a group of people and Waylen was among them.

Assuming it was Joseph's wife on the phone, the others playfully teased, "Did Vera give you an earful again?"

Joseph, under the influence of alcohol, gazed at Waylen and smirked.

“Mr. Fowler, it's your girlfriend who called me. She had the audacity to call me dirty and stained. How about you teach her a Lesson over the phone?"

Upon hearing Joseph's utterances, a hush fell over the crowd, their eager voices dissipated.

Amidst the silence, a concerned individual interjected, firmly addressing him, "Joseph, cease this! Just go and retrieve your beloved spouse!"

The air was tainted with the unmistakable scent of Joseph's inebriation.

With a slurred speech, he declared, “Yes, I've cheated on my wife; but even Vera herself dares not utter a word. How audacious of Rena to scold me! Whose power does she rely on to act so arrogantly?"

An eerie stillness encompassed the surroundings.

Waylen, unable to contain his amusement, released a hearty chuckle.

Gently dabbing his Lips with a napkin, he arose from his seat, stating,

“I shall take my Leave now!"

However, before Waylen could depart, another concerned individual halted his departure and beseeched, “Mr. Fowler, I implore you, please stay. Joseph has indulged in excessive libations and has offended you

How about we impose a punishment upon him, three glasses of wine as retribution?"

A serene smile adorned Waylen's countenance.

Directing his gaze towards the now slightly sober Joseph, he retorted,

“Allow me to enlighten you, Rena relies on my power! She is mine and I have never raised my voice in her presence. How dare you insist I chastise her?"

Joseph found himself entranced, lost in a daze.

With a sneer, Waylen added, “Initially, I had no intention of attending this soiree. However, considering the amiable bond between Rena and

Vera, I could not bear to cause you embarrassment and thus, I graced the occasion! Since you refuse to collect Vera, allow me to assist in escorting her home."
