Laura stared at him with suspicion.

Reading her expression, Edwin insisted earnestly, “Go ahead, send the invitation now and ask Dylan to the party."

Laura had no choice but to do as he said.

Immediately after sending the text, she regretted it, feeling manipulated by Edwin.

Despite their years of marriage, Edwin's thoughts were sometimes a mystery to her. Lost in her thoughts, Edwin stopped at a red light and reassured her with a gentle smile, “Don't worry so much, you silly girl."

Hearing that, Laura was left speechless.

On the weekend day.

Edwin's villa was bustling. Over twenty people including children, gathered for a barbecue party.

The men engaged in business discussions.

While the kids joyfully chased each other around.

Meanwhile, the women gathered to exchange gossip and talk about fashion... Since it was a private gathering, everyone enjoyed a pleasant chat.

At five o'clock in the evening, a car horn sounded at the gate.

Edwin looked up and said calmly, “That must be Dylan!"

Leonel glanced over and asked casually, "So, are you working on any projects with him lately?"

Adjusting his shirt, Edwin responded with a forced smile, "You're right!"

He even tried to fix Leonel's collar as he added, “I've always looked up to you since I was young. This is actually something I picked up from you."

Leonel gave him an annoyed look and said indifferently, “Get your hands off! Or Alexis might get jealous."

At that moment, as Edwin adjusted Leonel's collar, he noticed something.

There were faint hickeys on Leonel's neck... which was clearly left by Alexis!

He released Leonel's collar and turned around, just as Dylan approached them... Upon entering the yard, Dylan was greeted by familiar faces.

Leonel, Marcus and Edwin.

Even Albert was there.

Fortunately, they didn't invite Raphael, Dylan thought to himself.

Edwin greeted him with a fake smile, “Actually, I considered inviting Mr. Jones too, but since he just got engaged, I didn't want to intrude on his and his fiancee's private time! Then I suddenly thought of you, Mr. Wright! But why are you alone? Where's your lovely assistant? You two have been together for years, haven't you? When are you getting married?"
