“If it is for business, it is okay to get married as long as you two don’t intervene in each other’s personal life. Jensen spoke out his thoughts.
“You are too utilitarian. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
“My wife should be a beautiful woman whom I have a crush on at first sight. She must have a perfect appearance, great intelligence, and a strong aura. Such a woman is my favorite.”
Dillan waved his hand and added, “You are not me. You don’t understand.”
Jensen didn’t say anything more and talked about the expo again.
“Can you help solve the problem I am facing now?”
Dillan patted his chest and said, “The expo has two organizers, Glory Corporation and my company. Patrick will do me a favor if I call and ask for a favor.”
Dillan then picked up his phone and dialed a number.
However, no one answered the phone after more than ten seconds of ringing. Dillan didn’t give up and called again.
This time the call was declined directly. Obviously, Patrick didn’t want to talk about it.
After putting away his phone, Dillan looked embarrassed.
Jensen seldom asked Dillan for help. That was why Dillan swore that he would help him to solve the problem. But he didn’t expect that his phone call would be dismissed by Patrick directly.
With embarrassment, Dillan touched his nose and said, “I guess he is busy. You just finished a long journey. Let me take you to have fun. I can call Patrick again later.”
Jensen then followed Dillan out of the office. He knew that Dillan’s phone call was rejected deliberately.
Jensen thought it might be impossible for Dillan to make it even though he promised he would try again. later. Jensen thought he had to turn to Gilda if he wanted to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, Gilda was in a famous brand store that customized dresses for special customers.
Patrick was sitting on the leather sofa, looking stately and aloof.
After rejecting a phone call, Patrick looked up at Gilda who was standing there with a designer taking Gilda’s waist measurement with a cloth tape. “Jensen came to Geleston and asked Dillan for help.”
Patrick stared at Gilda’s face as he said that, worrying that his sister hadn’t really let that marriage go and moved on.
Gilda didn’t show any emotion on her face. She turned around and asked the designer to continue measuring her waistline. “Patrick, just leave this matter to me.”

After that, Gilda looked in the mirror.

In the mirror, her complexion returned to its original color. Her bright and confident eyes were completely different from those when she was still in the Harrington family back then.
Gilda thought, I’m looking good now. I have nothing to do with Jensen from now on!
“Gilly, I missed you so much!”

A woman with a happy smile on her face rushed over and hugged Gilda. She was so happy that she held Gilda for a good while.
When Gilda heard the voice, she knew it was her best friend Megan Dunst. Gilda suddenly choked with tears in her eyes, replying, “Me too!”
Megan let go of Gilda and said, “You are heartless! You haven’t contacted me for three years. You didn’t

Gilda was touched. “You are my best friend forever. I just feel embarrassed to tell you about it.”
Gilda paused and continued, “You tried your best to persuade me back then. But I’m stubborn and even argue with you. Now I got divorced… In short, I am embarrassed to see you.”
