The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

"So, let me get this straight," the host began, "She devoured your beef noodles and expects you to compensate with a bowl of plain noodle soup?"

Spencer confirmed with a simple, "Yes."

"That's hardly a fair exchange," the host quipped, prompting laughter from the audience.

Hertha, who was among the audience, listened to the exchange between the host and Spencer, realizing for the first time that Spencer and Emmeline didn't meet through a blind date. Their encounter had its own story.

She had always assumed that Spencer and Emmeline were introduced through mutual acquaintances. Clearly, she had much more to learn about Spencer.

"So, tell me, is it true love you feel for the bride?" the host prodded further with a challenging question.

After asking, he placed the microphone near Spencer's mouth. At that moment, Spencer caught sight of Hertha approaching the stage, and by chance, Hertha was also looking his way. Their eyes met.

With the host's question hanging in the air, everyone awaited Spencer's response, especially Emmeline, who stood at the hotel entrance in her pristine white wedding gown, anticipating her entrance. Time was of the essence, and Spencer, unable to break his gaze from Hertha, responded, "For the bride, my love is true."
