Rena cast her gaze downwards.

She had no desire to Listen to or place trust in those words.

In the end, Lyndon departed hastily, without even glancing at the check she held out...

After Lyndon departed, Rena found herself in solitude for an extended period.

As she finally made her entrance at the party, all preparations had been completed.

Approaching her, Zack inquired, “Has that old man approached you once again? Was it because someone had swindled his pension, compelling him to seek your support and care in his twilight years?"

Rena delicately held a champagne flute, replying, "Let us refrain from indulging in gossip during such formal affairs.”

Zack emitted a derisive snort.

"I genuinely care for you."

Rena comprehended his thoughts, realizing that he simply wished to complicate matters for Waylen. She possessed enough humility not to presume that a charismatic womanizer would ardently pursue her.

Nevertheless, since she had received a substantial sum of twenty million dollars from Brandon, she needed to provide this young man with guidance.

Rena escorted Zack to a social engagement, displaying grace while Zack conducted himself admirably, avoiding any scene-making.

In the distance, the two wealthiest gentlemen in the country engaged in conversation.

Brandon chuckled and remarked, “Korbyn, my investment of twenty million dollars has proven worthwhile. In just one month, Zack has undergone a complete transformation."

Korbyn concurred, "I believe our Rena has matured. When a woman encounters someone younger than her, it tends to awaken her maternal instincts, wouldn't you agree?"

Upon uttering those words, Korbyn emitted a chuckle.

Brandon's countenance froze.

"Your Rena?"

Korbyn pretended to be taken aback.

"What? You were unaware? Rena and Waylen nearly tied the knot. Presently, they are facing some minor conflicts and are striving to resolve them."

Brandon's panic began to mount.

Rena truly was a remarkable young woman. However, could his son compete with Waylen?
