NovelEnglishChapter 239: Previously, Aelfric couldn't understand why the esteemed Connor would dote on a woman who had children with another man. Even if she was the renowned Dr. Riss, Connor's actions seemed excessively humble Now, he understood everything perfectly. Their marriage was merely a deal—a sham! Clearly, Connor and Riss each had something to gain by pretending to be a couple. Realizing this, Aelfric allowed a knowing smile to cross his face. If Connor could form an alliance with Riss, why couldn't he? It all cdown to mutual interests Melinda noticed Aelfric deep in thought and nudged his shoulder. "Aelfric, what's on your mind? You have to helpget even with Tiffany and teach her a lesson!" "From this point forward, don't aggravate Tiffany. If you encounter her, show her srespect," Aelfric instructed "Why?" Melinda's eyes widened in shock. “Aelfric, you used to defendfiercely if anyone dared to bully me. Why is your attitude different when Tiffany is involved? Are you intimidated by Connor? They're not a real couple. Connor's affection for her is just for show. What's there to be scared of?" Your new favorite is galnovsAelfric's brow creased slightly. "I can't lay it all out for you right now, but you have to listen and steer clear of any further conflicts with Tiffany." "I refuse," Melinda stamped her foot defiantly. "She's embarrassedtwice now. I need to teach her a lesson!" Just as Aelfric was gearing up to scold his stubborn sister, Neil arrived, his two sons in tow. Upon seeing them, Neil, his face etched with worry, blurted out, “Aelfric, I'm at my wit's end. I had no choice but to cto you for help. You have to assist me. Otherwise, our family's financial support will crumble!" Since Aelfric had unraveled the relationship between Connor and Riss, his mood had lightened, making him more receptive to Neil's abrupt visit "Neil, please, have a seat," Aelfric motioned towards the sofa across from him Neil sat on the sofa, looking extremely uncomfortable. Foley and Derek, not daring to sit, remained standing, their faces mirroring the despair they felt Aelfric turned to Melinda and said gently, “Melinda, why don't you go hand rest? We need to talk over sthings." Melinda shot Derek a resentful glance, snorted disdainfully, and stormed off. However, she didn't go far; she lingered just outside the door, secretly listening in on the conversation Aelfric cast a glance at Derek's shiny bald head and inquired, "Why'd you shave your head right before the engagement party?" Derek, hesitant to disclose his secret meeting with Marissa, fabricated an excuse. "I didn't choose to. Someone forced me. Right before the ceremony, this masked person showed up out of nowhere, tackled me, and shaved my head." Aelfric's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. “A masked person? Was it a man or a woman? And why shave your head?" "It was a woman," Derek admitted, a hint of guilt in his voice. "She was surprisingly strong and brandished a small knife. She didn't utter a word. She just pinneddown and shaved my head. I kept quiet to avoid ruining the engagement ceremony. My guess? She must be one of my obsessed fans. When she found out I was getting engaged, jealousy got the better of her, and she did this to lash out."
Aelfric's lips quirked up in disbelief.
"So, you think this fan of yours also took the video of your humiliation at n". the ceremony and posted it online?"
Derek nodded, looking sheepish "Probably." The contents on om novelenglish.net!
Aelfric chuckled dryly. "To infiltrate the Daniels family's event like that, she must be no ordinary fan. You've NO becquite popular with the ladies, haven't you? Should Melinda be worried?"
