Chapter 91-100
Rena rolled her eyes. “I’m already lucky Harold didn’t kill me. How could I take revenge on the Moore family?”
Addie was about to explode again, but Krista stopped her in time.
Krista’s attitude was much calmer than that of her daughter. “Rena, you probably haven’t heard, but something went wrong with
Harold’s company this morning. I heard that Waylen’s the one who’s making things difficult for him.”
Rena fell into stunned silence.
Then she recalled how strange Waylen had acted last night as well as the words he had said. “I just have to finish something
first. Then I’ll think about how to deal with you in bed.”
She had thought that he was just flirting with her, but now, she realized that he had actually set out to deal with Harold.
She was touched. At the same time, she felt elated to know that the Moore family was finally in trouble.
Rena smiled to herself and took a sip of coffee.
“Shouldn’t you be begging Waylen or Cecilia for mercy? Why did you come to me?”
Krista smiled knowingly and said, “Rena, I know you’re a smart girl. You know why I came to you! I know that you were only
forced to be with Waylen, while the man you really love is Harold. I promise you that if you help us, we’ll...”
Rena couldn’t bear to hear whatever Krista had to say.
The mere fact that they had come to grovel to her was so disgusting!
She was so angry that she banged her fist on the table loudly, startling both Krista and Addie. “Are you insane? I don’t have any
feelings for Harold! You should probably see a doctor. How on earth could you think that I’d still love someone who nearly
destroyed my whole life?”
Without waiting for a response, she stood up to leave.
Addie yelled, “Rena, I don’t believe you! You’d do anything for Harold! Why aren’t you helping him now?”
Standing there, Rena smiled bitterly, her clenched fists trembling slightly.
Indeed, she had loved Harold deeply before.
She was willing to move mountains for him at that time.

That was why Krista and Addie still foolishly believed that she’d do anything for Harold now.
Little did they know that she didn’t love him anymore!
Rena couldn’t stand it anymore and poured the rest of her coffee on top of Addie’s head.
Addie screamed angrily with a crazy look in her eye.
“Miss Moore, I suggest you learn how to beg from your mother,” Rena said icily.
Addie had never been treated like this before. She took her own cup of coffee and wanted to splash it on Rena, but someone
grabbed her by the wrist she could do anything,
It was Harold.
Such a commotion gathered attention. The people around them quieted down and looked at them curiously.
Through gritted teeth, Harold scolded his sister and shouted, “Stop it!”
“This was Addie’s first lime to see him so fierce. She burst into tears and cried, “Harold, I was doing this for your own good! Rena
betrayed you Why are you still on her side?”
Rena didn’t want to put up with this bullshit any longer, so she turned around and started to walk away.
But Harold stopped her and said calmly, “Rena, I don’t need your help.”
Rena sneered and said nothing.
She simply walked out of the coffee shop without looking back.
Krista followed her out. She was a very cunning woman, and she wasn’t about to let their golden ticket get away.
“Rena, you were with Harold for four years Can’t you help him out this one time? For old time’s sake?”
Rena clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms
At this moment, a big, warm hand gently enveloped hers, and the bag containing those two bottles of wine was taken away from
her
At a loss, Rena raised her head and met Waylen’s affectionate gaze.
It was only five o’clock in the afternoon. Why was he back so early?
Rena was stunned.
Waylen put his arm around her shoulder naturally and said, “Didn’t I ask you to pick up the wine? What’re you doing in a coffee
shop?”
Rena couldn’t help but grin. She felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders the moment Waylen showed up.
She didn’t hide the truth from him. “I ran into some acquaintances on the way back.”
Waylen studied her face, and then looked back at Harold, who was standing behind her. “Oh, it’s you, Harold!”
While Waylen looked completely aloof and indifferent when addressing Harold, the latter looked much more nervous in
comparison.

Harold was no fool. He could tell that Waylen didn’t like him, not only because of Cecilia, but also because of Rena!
The two men stared at each other, and the tension in the atmosphere grew so thick, one could’ve cut through it with a knife.
Rena gently squeezed Waylen’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go home, Waylen. It’s not worth it.”
Only then did Waylen withdraw his gaze.
But before they could leave, Krista approached and greeted him warmly. “Hello, Waylen!”
Then she feigned surprise and asked, “Rena, what’re you doing with Waylen? Didn’t you and Harold just...”
She let her voice trail off meaningfully.
An ordinary man would’ve gotten jealous and would’ve probably vented his anger on Rena—but Waylen was no ordinary man.
How could he be tricked by an old, scheming bitch?
He made Rena hold his laptop bag and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
As he lit the cigarette, he asked casually, “Harold had a girlfriend before? But Cecilia told me that she’s Harold’s first love.”
Upon hearing this, Krista’s mouth snapped shut. She then turned to look at her son with an unnatural expression.
After a moment of awkward silence, she quickly changed the subject. “Oh, I just meant to say that Rena’s father is an accountant
at the Moore Group.”
“Is that so?” Waylen slowly blew a smoke ring and flicked the ash off his cigarette. “The way you put it, I was actually thinking
that Harold was a heartless man who abandoned Rena. Maybe I was wrong!”
Krista felt embarrassed by the obvious implication in Waylen’s words.
At this time, Harold spoke up. “Oh, Waylen, you think too much! I don’t know Miss Gordon at all.”
Waylen cracked a smile.
He ruffled Rena’s hair dotingly while saying, “Good! That’s a relief.”
Rena looked at him with admiration.
For once, he used his sharp tongue for good.
Waylen was a handsome man who oozed confidence in his every move. Rena couldn’t help but swallow whenever she stared at
him for too long.
Harold had dated Rena for four years. He could tell that she had feelings for Waylen.
Stiff with anger, Harold said to Krista gruffly, “Let’s go.”
Neither Krista nor Addie were reconciled, but they obediently left with Harold. As soon as they were in the car, Addie lost her
temper. “Mom, why didn’t you expose Rena? Harold’s going to marry Waylen’s sister. So Waylen’s definitely on our side, right?”
“Shut up!”

Krista snapped at her, “You fool! Can’t you read the room? Waylen holds all the cards. He has the power to call off the wedding!”
Addie was stunned.
Krista ignored the stupid expression on her daughter’s face and looked at her son. “Harold, you should know how important this
marriage is! You’d better not contact Rena anymore, or else!”
Harold sat in the driver’s seat in brooding silence.
Krista knew that her son was a proud man, so she didn’t say anything more. She just trusted that he’d do what he needed to do.
Besides, although he and Rena had dated for four years, she believed he didn’t really love her. His pride was probably just hurt
now that Rena was dating someone else, and he’d probably forget about her once he married
Cecilia, As for Rena and Waylen, Krista doubted they’d ever get married.
Rena quietly followed Waylen back to the apartment.
After thinking about it for a while, she asked, “Waylen, did you do something to the Moore Group?”
Waylen paused for a moment, “Why? Do you want to help Harold?”
“No!” Rena blurted hastily.
Realizing she had reacted to strongly, Rena fiddled with the two bottles of wine awkwardly.
After staring at her for a while, Waylen sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, switching it lo the financial news channel. After a
while, he saw that Rena was still standing there, so he said, “Aren’t you supposed to be preparing dinner?”
Only then did Rena come to her senses and nodded.
When she changed into loungewear, she couldn’t help but wonder why he had no ***ual needs. Currently, she only cooked,
cleaned, and ran errands for him.
He never asked her to have *** with him. As a result, she started to question whether Waylen was abstinent or not.
While Rena was cooking, Waylen got to work and took several phone calls. By the time he finally put down his phone, he was
about to go and take a shower when he saw Rena’s phone screen light up on the coffee table.
Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, he quietly picked up Rena’s phone.
He knew Rena’s password and easily unlocked it. Sure enough, there were two messages from Harold.
Waylen sneered and typed out a reply,
Soon, Harold received a text from Rena.
“If my love’s so worthless, stop contacting me!”
As soon as he hit send, Waylen deleted the text thread and blocked Harold’s number.
Harold read and reread Rena’s text, completely and utterly speechless.
Rena prepared several dishes and each plate looked as delicious as it tasted.
After setting the table, she called Waylen over for dinner. Waylen was still watching financial news. After calling him twice, he
finally stood up, but he looked unhappy.

Rena could tell that he was in a bad mood, so she didn’t dare to talk to him!
After taking a few bites, Waylen suddenly said, “I don’t like any of the food you prepared.”
Rena froze, her fork midway to her mouth.
She couldn’t help but complain, “What’re you talking about? Claribel told me about your preference and I thought...”
Waylen put his utensils down and locked eyes with her. “What does Claribel know? Why didn’t you just ask me what I like to
eat?”
Rena fell silent.
She had thought that when he asked her to move in with him, she’d just need to satisfy his ***ual desires.
Unexpectedly, he expected a lot more from her in terms of housework! She couldn’t help but think of how he’d stop the several
times they were about to have ***. Was there something wrong with his body and he was too embarrassed to tell her? Is that why
he tortured her like this?
Realizing this, Rena felt sorry for him.
Such a noble and dignified man had such a shortcoming—how pitiful!
So,Rena adjusted her mood and said meekly, “I’ll ask you next time.”
Waylen snorted. As a picky eater, he barely touched his food again, “You used to cook for Harold, right? Are these his favorite
dishes?”
Only then did Rena realize that he was angry with her because of Harold, not because of the food! I
The dishes she had prepared actually were Waylen’s favorites. He was just looking for a fight!
Rena felt quite upset about it.
But she knew that she owed him, so she swallowed her surging, emotions and said softly, “1 can’t erase what happened
between me and him, but he’s in the past, Waylen. I don’t think of him anymore! You and I, however—we need to gel along with
each other. If you could just...”
Her voice trailed off shakily. She felt so aggrieved that she couldn’t continue.
Fortunately, Waylen didn’t say anything more. He excused himself from the table and retreated to the sofa to smoke.
Rena began to clean up the table. She put the leftovers in a plastic bag for kitchen waste and then was about to head
downstairs.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Waylen asked, thinking she was going to throw the leftover food into the trash can.
“I’m going to feed the stray dogs! At least the dogs will like the food I prepared.”
Waylen fell silent for a moment and then burst into laughter.
How dared she scold him in a roundabout way? .
But he wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he found her really cute.
Rena also possessed a fiery temperament, despile the fact that she usually look gentle and sweet.
Seething with anger towards Waylen, she distanced herself from him upon her return.

To get rid of the faint traces of oil and smoke clinging to her skin, Rena indulged in a refreshing shower, before leaning gracefully
against the wash basin to embark on her intricate skincare routine.
To his credit, Waylen did not mistreat her. Merely two days after her arrival, he had generously sent her multiple sets of luxurious
skincare products. Without a moment’s hesitation, Rena directly utilized them, failing to consult him beforehand,
She surmised that his gesture was motivated by an appreciation for soft, supple skin, an attribute he undoubtedly adored.
Applying the skincare products to her upper body, Rena then proceeded to tend to her legs, her actions exuding an air of
effortless sensuality, accentuating her exquisite physique. .
Waylen found himself irresistibly drawn to her allure.
Approaching her stealthily, he enveloped her in an embrace from behind. Rena experienced a surge of astonishment, yet chose
not to resist his advance.
After a brief pause, he gently whispered into her ear, “Has your period arrived?”
Recognizing his lack of anger, Rena responded, “Yes, it began tonight.”
Halting his exploratory caresses, Waylen rested his chin tenderly upon her shoulder. In a jovial mood, he engaged her in
conversation, “What are your aspirations beyond the lawsuit? Surely, you don’t intend to solely devote yourself to teaching
Danna?”
Rena‘s thoughts swirled chaotically within her mind, and she confessed, “I yearn to teach in a different locale.”
With a delicate nibble on her earlobe, Waylen conveyed both desire and intimacy.
“How about I arrange for you to pursue further studies abroad in due time?”
Rena comprehended his intentions all too well.
Their relationship had an expiration date. When he grew weary of her, he would whisk her away to foreign lands. On one hand,
he aimed to compensate her, while on the other, he sought to keep her at a distance from Harold, thereby preventing any
interference in Cecilia’s marriage.
Rena didn’t inquire whether he would visit her overseas if she were to pursue her studies there.
Deep down, she knew he wouldn’t.
When he dispatched her to foreign shores, it would signify the conclusive end of their association,
Rena harbored no ingratitude within her soul.
Perhaps it was her compliant nature that elicited Waylen’s jovial demeanor. He playfully squeezed her slender waist and divulged
details of a scandal he had recently heard, The revelation caused Rena’s cheeks to flush and her heart to race With anticipation.
She looked inCredibly endearing.

Waylen spun her around, pressing her gently against the wash basin, and their lips united in a kiss.
This passionate embrace possessed a fervor unlike any they had shared before.
She dared not entertain suspicions about his physical well-being.
His ardor was simply insatiable!
Just as their passion engulfed them, Rena’s phone clamored for attention.
Vera’s call had arrived.
“I must answer this,” she gently pushed Waylen, asserting her need to respond.
“With mischievous gesture, Waylen extended his hand to retrieve her phone, activating the speaker.
Rena was momentarily rendered speechless. She pondered on his occasional childlike behavior, Given the nature of their
relationship, he really shouldn’t have done this. Why would he anyway?
Nonetheless, she chose nol to evade his presence and engaged in a conversation with Vera.
“Hello!” she greeted.
Vera furrowed her brow and inquired, “Whal’s wrong with your voice, Rena?”
“What? There’s nothing wrong with it,” Rena replied.
In a jesting manner, Vera teased her, “If you weren’t single, I’d think you were being with a man!”
Rena’s cheeks flushed and she playfully scolded her friend.
With a smile, Waylen whispered in her ear, “She’s absolutely right!” 1
Apprehensive that Vera might overhear Waylen’s voice, Rena swiftly retreated to the bedroom, draping herself with a bathrobe
while grasping it with one hand. “Vera, I actually have something important to discuss with you. Can we meet tomorrow?”
Due to Waylen’s intervention, the Gordon family’s assets had been unfrozen. Rena felt compelled to return the money to Vera.
Upon hearing that Darren had been bailed out, Vera expressed her delight for Rena.
After engaging in pleasant conversation for a while, Vera shifted the focus of their call, stating, “I have two more things to share
with you! Did you hear about the Moore Group being targeted? My husband informed me that Harold is facing significant trouble.
He may end up in jail! It serves him right! 1 can hardly contain my happiness.”
As Vera mentioned Harold, Rena grew apprehensive, concerned that it might displease Waylen.
She turned her head to glance at him.
Waylen’s disposition appeared far from vexed as his countenance emitted a gentle smile.
With graceful poise, he extracted garments from the wardrobe before proceeding to commence his shower.
A sigh of relief escaped Rena’s lips and she persisted in conversing with Vera over the telephone
Avoiding any discourse concerning Harold, Rena steered the conversation by inquiring, “What were you just saying? What’s the
other thing you wanna tell me?”
A momentary pause filled the air as Vera maintained silence, eventually breaking it with her utterance, “Our esteemed institution
is poised to host a grand reunion and, rumor has it that, Aline spearheaded this initiative.
However, her underlying motivations are self-serving, for she seeks to intertwine our gathering with that of Treross University.”
Treross University?
Treross University was the very institution from which Harold had attained his degree. Undoubtedly, Aline would extend an
invitation to him, urging his attendance at the reunion.
Rena harbored no desire to partake in such an event.
bounds! She relishes in her role as a mistress, yet insists on parading her ostentation for all to witness! I believe her
machinations are aimed squarely at you. She’s been spreading word that you endured a breakup and lost your job, rendering
you too apprehensive to atlend the reunion.”

Rena held no inclination to squander her time on an individual of such nature.
She expressed her intention to contemplate attending the reunion and promptly ended the call. As she lifted her gaze, she found
Waylen standing by the bathroom entrance, adorned in a bathrobe, his physique exuding an air of vitality.
Rena inadvertently forgot to avert her eyes.
Dabbing at his damp locks, Waylen advanced towards her with a smile and quipped, “The school reunion, you say? An
environment ripe for clandestine affairs, wouldn’t you agree?”
Rena gently nibbled on her lower lip and softly uttered, “I have yet to enter the bonds of matrimony.”
Waylen’s proximity grew closer as he pressed his nose against hers, his voice resonating deep and laced with seduction as he
said, “But you, my dear, are now mine. You belong to me now.” j
An unexpected realization washed over Rena, prompting her to consider that being with Waylen might not be a regrettable
choice after all.
She enveloped her arms around his neck, purposefully employing a tender tone as she inquired, “In that case, I am willing to
divulge everything to put your mind at ease.”
Without delay, Waylen sealed her words with a passionate kiss.
After a moment of intimacy, Rena nestled her chin upon Waylen’s shoulder, her voice gentle as she disclosed, “To be honest, I
have“not yet made up my mind about attending the school reunion. However, I have come to a resolute decision.”
Curiosity piqued, Waylen inquired, “And what might that be?”
With her delicate hands cupping his handsome face, Rena exhaled softly and professed, “Waylen, I want to make you happy.”
Waylen’s countenance brightened with a warm smile.
Flushed cheeks adorned Rena’s face as she leaned in to kiss his lips.
Darren’s condition had notably improved, bringing a wave of relief upon. Rena. Subsequently, she engaged in a discussion with
Eloise regarding returning home.
During their conversation, Eloise unexpectedly broached the subject of Waylen.
Impressed by Waylen’s demeanor, Eloise offered her input with a glimmer of hope, stating, “Forge a harmonious bond with Mr.
Fowler. Who knows, perhaps it may lead to marriage.”
Rena’s lips curled into a faint smile.
How could she marry Waylen?
Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
The notion of marrying someone like Waylen seemed inconceivable to her. Furthermore, their connection was founded on a
mutual desire for a relationship unburdened by commitments.
The uncertain future that lay between them remained a topic she dared not ponder upon.
Opting for brevity, Rena bid Eloise farewell and promptly departed from the hospital.
As she approached the hospital gate, a pristine white BMW abruptly came to a halt before her.
The car’s window glided down, revealing Vera’s serious countenance,
Vera, with an air of gravity, beckoned Rena, “Hop in.”
Rena complied, fastening her seat belt. Concern etched her features as she inquired,“ What’s the matter? Did you have a fight
with your husband or something?”
Vera’s restlessness nudged her towards seeking solace in a cigarette, yet she restrained herself, mindful of the image she
presented to Rena.
Guiding Rena to a quaint cafe, Vera’s mind remained preoccupied. Rena tendered a bank card, settling the debt owed to Vera,
accompanied by a small token of appreciation.
However, Vera’s mind was far from receptive to discussing these matters. Instead, she directed Rena’s attention to her phone,
displaying its contents.
“Aline is unyielding in her pursuit to undermine you. Observe the discourse circulating on our school’s forum. She has unleashed
a torrent of slanderous posts against you!” #34
With a sense of urgency, Rena promptly inspected the online plattorm.
True to Vera’s words, a deluge of adverse news concerning Rena flooded the forum.
Aline had propagated malicious claims, accusing Rena of engaging in multiple illicit liaisons, painting her as an audacious
woman lacking in virtue.
Vera took a deep breath, her voice laced with concern. “Rena, as an educator, these posts pose a grave threat. Who will entrust
their children’s education to you after Aline’s relentless assault? These affluent women fear nothing more than the seduction of
their husbands! Extricating yourself from this predicament will prove arduous unless you possess a partner more influential than
their spouses!”
Rena remained fixated on the distressing reports, her countenance drained of color, captivated by their negativity.
Vera, filled with compassion, empathized with Rena’s plight.
She gently patted Rena’s hand, her voice filled with tenderness as she whispered, “I’m making every effort to persuade them to
remove those posts!”
“Thank you, Vera,” Rena expressed her gratitude.
However, it was common knowledge how devastating the rumors had become. They had spread like wildfire, making it arduous
for Rena to restore her tarnished reputation.
Stirring her coffee with delicate motions, Rena couldn’t help but sob, confiding in Vera, “It took immense dedication to cultivate
those children.” °
The four-year relationship not only wrecked her career but also irreparably damaged her standing!
Rena vearned to drown her sorrows and surrender to indulgence. ~
She believed that inebriation would provide respite from her troubling thoughts. +
“Lean take you for a drink!” Vera, an expert at revelry, offered.

Leading Rena to an underground bar that operated round the clock, Vera unveiled a space where the spirit of rebellion thrived.
Upon entering the establishment, the blaring rock music assaulted their ears.
The place teemed with youthful patrons, the air infused with a mingling of perspiration and perfume.
“What do you think? Isn’t it exhilarating enough?”
Vera settled into her customary spot, extracted a cigarette, lit it, and exuded a captivating aura as she savored the smoke.
Rena had never indulged in smoking and Vera discouraged her from doing so.
Vera ordered a bottle of wine, pouring two glasses and extending one to Rena,
“Many men have their eyes fixed on you, Rena. Do you realize you resemble a rabbit venturing into the wolves’ den?”
Rena forced a bitter smile, her mind too preoccupied to contemplate such matters.
Gracefully, she grasped the glass and swiftly consumed its contents.
Vera was taken aback, her actions interrupted as she poured wine for Rena. She urged, her voice laced with persuasion, “Please
refrain from excessive drinking. If you become intoxicated, I won’t be able to explain it to Eloise! She holds you to a strict
standard.”
Rena existed in a daze, detached from reality.
The realization then dawned upon her that she now resided with Waylen, obliged to prepare an evening meal for him.
After indulging in another glass of wine, Rena grew audacious and vengelul!
Waylen had bérely consumed a morsel of the food she had cooked the previous night.
Tonight, she would refuse to cook for him!
He had asked her to live with him not to cook for him anyhow!
After consuming half a bottle of wine, Rena succumbed to a mild state of inebriation, resting her head wearily upon the table as
she murmured, “Yera, I cannat accept this!”
Harold had played cruel tricks on her in the past, and now Aline had orchestrated her downfall.
Why should she be subjected to such dismissive treatment by these individuals?
“I’ll take legal action against Aline.”
Vera, “wary of the consequences of excessive drinking, fearing she wouldn’t Aye able to escort Rena home, reassured her upon
hearing Rena’s declaration, “Very well, let us proceed with the lawsuit.”
Inebriated though she was, Rena possessed the presence of mind to access the online forum and capture the screen, intent on
preserving crucial evidence Amused, Vera remarked, “Even in your intoxicated state, you remember to do that?”
After that, Rena soon succumbed to the intoxicating effects of alcohol, drifting into a deep slumber, Vera, astounded, gently
tapped Rena’s cheek and called out, “Rena?”

Rena discerned a distant voice calling her name, reminiscent of the man from her dreams. With her eyes sealed shut, she
delicately bit her crimson lip and, in a tender tone, uttered, “Waylen, I’m experiencing my menstrual cycle. I cannot attend to your
desires.”
Vera’s world stood still.
What had she just heard?
Vera shook Rena with urgency, her grasp unyielding, as she demanded, “Wake up! Wake up! What has transpired between you
and Waylen?”
Rena’s eyes fluttered open.
“Do you wish to know?”
“Of course!”
Resting her angelic countenance upon her elbow, Rena softly confessed, “He possesses striking handsomeness, a well-sculpted
physique and a talent for passionate kisses. I believe it’s a fair trade, Vera.”
Vera’s urge to unleash a torrent of curses surged within her.
