Larry somberly confirmed, "Yes." At that juncture, Galilea had yet to complete her education. Due to the traumatic kidnapping ordeal, Tyrone had spent considerable time consoling her, which naturally Limited the interactions between Galilea and Larry.

Moreover, Larry had intentionally created distance between them and kept the truth shrouded. By the time Galilea became aware of Larry's burgeoning affection for Lena, Larry and Lena's wedding loomed on the horizon.

Galilea had invested so much in her relationship with Larry. The idea of relinquishing him to another was unfathomable to her.

Numerous private conversations had ensued between them, yet Larry remained impervious to her pleas for attention. As desperation took hold, Galilea had resorted to threats.

Should Larry refuse to marry her, she vowed to summon the police and reveal him as the mastermind, a move that would inevitably ensnare them both in the clutches of the law.
