Yet, his handsome face betrayed no trace of expression.

The headline was sensational.

“Waylen Fowler, the Unvanquished Champion!"

Rena held a glass of water, freezing in the moment.

She tenderly grazed her finger over his photograph in the newspaper.

Never had she seen Waylen so serious. While she had witnessed him in moments of discontent before, those had always seemed commonplace and he displayed a thick skin in everyday life.

But now, seeing Waylen standing resolutely in court, adorned in formal attire, she couldn't help but find him incredibly captivating!

She recalled Waylen's previous words, "I believe it's more accurate to say that you're taking advantage of me, rather than the other way around.”

As Rena gazed at the photograph, she found herself in agreement with Waylen's sentiments.

She despised her own lack of resilience, berating herself inwardly!

“What has captured your attention?"

Paisley approached, stealing a glimpse before flashing a meaningful smile.

"He is absolutely incredible, Rena... Is he equally remarkable in bed?"

Paisley had no intentions of settling down in marriage. She engaged in occasional encounters with different men, showcasing her open-mindedness.

Rena remained silent.

Paisley understood that Rena's current relationship with Waylen wasn't in a good place, thus refraining from saying much.

“We will be dining with Mr. Scott tonight. Prepare yourself. Mrs. Scott will be joining us as well. If we manage to win her favor, Mr. Scott will undoubtedly invest in our studio."

Rena possessed a keen sense of propriety.

Given Alan's age in his thirties, she assumed his wife naturally wouldn't appreciate him associating with overly glamorous women. Rena donned a professional ensemble and styled her long brown hair into a bun, exuding an air of a successful businesswoman.

She and Paisley embarked on the journey together.

Anticipating potential alcohol consumption later, one of them would partake while the other assumed the role of designated driver.

Upon arriving at the club, they coincidentally encountered Alan and his family.
