A sudden determination filled Waylen’s expression. “But I refuse to watch her be with someone else. She cannot be with Tyrone. She cannot be with anyone but me.”

Having voiced his conviction, Waylen turned on his heels and departed.

Juliette attempted to halt his departure.

In a deep, resonant voice, Korbyn uttered, “Let him go. He’s twenty-nine now. He knows what course of action to take.”

The beautiful Juliette felt a surge of worry.

Would Waylen veer onto a dark path? His recent words just seemed too amiss.

Yet Korbyn appeared remarkably content.

He smoked leisurely, casting a glance at his wife. “You possess a tender heart. This is how a man should be. He must fight for what he desires, rather than hide away and drown himself in drink every day. Will he wait until Rena marries someone else and bring shame upon me?”

Korbyn’s words jolted Waylen into sobriety.

Waylen no longer tried to drown one’s sorrows over alcohol. Once again, he assumed the role of a fierce lawyer within legal circles, employing

more ruthless methods that sent shivers down people’s spines.

Word even reached the Fowlers’ residence, with someone reporting on Waylen’s actions.

Juliette tearfully confided in her husband, “I fear that Waylen is sacrificing his chance at love for the sake of his reputation,”

Korbyn emitted a contemptuous snort in response,

“You have no clue. The line of girls eager to be with Waylen stretches from one end of Duefron to the other, It’s just that your son has high standards and only has eyes for that specific one,”

Juliette gazed at her son in the newspaper,

Waylen possessed striking handsomeness and oozed undeniable sensuality…

His visage exuded an alluring aura.

But what good was that? He remained single!

A month later, the time had arrived for Rena to receive the prestigious award for being among the top ten remarkable young individuals in Duefron.

Rena brought Eloise along as her companion to the awards ceremony,

Eloise had been mired in sadness for a prolonged period since Darren’s death, but today she radiated happiness.

Backstage, she meticulously adjusted Rena’s collar multiple times, as if

sensing the need for perfection in every detail.

Rena offered a gentle smile. “Mom, it’s already smoothed out.”
