When it came to reasoning with Waylen, any attempt at defending herself would be futile. He was the most powerful lawyer in the country after all.

While she was nothing.

A lump formed in her throat, but she managed to croak, "Mr. Fowler, I swear I won't get involved in your sister's relationship.

ALL of a sudden, Waylen stood up and walked straight towards her.

Rena didn't dare to move a muscle.

She raised her head and looked up at him through teary eyes.

Waylen met her flustered gaze and even reached out his hand to gently touch her delicate cheek. Feeling humiliated, Rena immediately turned her face away.

He murmured, “You feel angry, don't you? Harold was the one who betrayed you and found a new girlfriend, and yet you're the one who has to pretend you have nothing to do with him in front of Cecilia. That must hurt, right?"

“No, that's—"

"Do you still have feelings for him?" Warlen interrupted her again.

"I don't!" Rena cried indignantly.

Waylen withdrew his hand and smiled.

“I believe you, and I trust you'll keep your promise."

Rena gritted her teeth with resentment. Why did he treat her Like this?

How could he? But she didn't dare to lose her temper with him. She could only hiss, “Waylen, you bastard!"

The man didn't get angry. Instead, he simply fixed his eyes on her without saying anything for a Long time.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, he opened his mouth and said gently, “You didn't do anything wrong. You just believe in love too much."

Rena stiffened.

By the time she came to her senses, Waylen was long gone.

Waylen got in the car, where Cecilia and Harold were already waiting.

From time to time, he could see Cecilia Leaning on Harold's shoulder in the rearview mirror, Looking happy and contented.

A mocking smile tugged at the corners of Waylen's Lips.
