Madelyn had never thought the famous Kieran would ask to borrow only twenty from her.

Although she found it odd, she still granted Kieran’s request.

After rummaging through her branded handbag, she couldn’t find twenty. There were only bills of a hundred.

She froze as the room went silent for a few seconds.

An awkward smile surfaced on Madelyn’s countenance as Kieran gazed at her. “Please wait for a moment, Mr. Kieran.”

Hastily, she left to meet with the butler and asked him for a twenty bill before handing it to Kieran.

Kieran kept it in his pocket and said politely, “Thank you.”

Without delay, he left the residence and arrived at Yucca Delight as soon as possible.

How can I reasonably chase her fiancé away without making the situation awkward for everyone and then have a one-to-one conversation with her?

After contemplating the matter for a while, he thought himself unskilled in the affairs of love.

Thus, he decided to ask Treyton for advice again.

However, when he patted his empty pocket, he recalled not bringing his phone to make himself seem more pitiful. Great, now I can’t even call for help. Guess I’m on my own.

Meanwhile, in Salinsburgh, the Newtons were enjoying lunch in the dining room at noon.

The meal was particularly delicious because Craig had returned.

Jennifer wasn’t interested in the food. She kept staring at the door.
