The Brooke and Williams families—the two most dominant wealthy families—were now bonded through marriage. As the principal figure of the marriage, Professor Williams was obsessed with scientific research, education, and psychological development. She did not have feelings for the demon king, Landon Brooke! The two of them could not even be bothered to put on a show. Tiana Williams was constantly thinking about having their marriage being annulled by the demon king! However, with their godly good looks, talent, and capabilities, their CP fans came uninvited, hoping to see snippets of them interacting with each other every day. They begged for dog food and even leaked sex tapes as they worked hard to find evidence of their love... Professor Williams finally could not take it anymore and texted the demon king: [Senior, I'm proposing to be in a fake relationship with you!] The devil: [Call me Hubby, and we'll be in a real relationship.] Professor Williams frowned. [I don't want to be in a relationship!] The devil made a call instantly. "So? I just donated a laboratory and the academic building. Last night, you said that I performed well, but you turned your back on me the next day? Have you learned how to extort people for sex and money?" Professor Williams was shocked. “I didn't! I’m… in a show right now…” Beep beep… The call ended! The viewers in the live streaming channel exploded: [Did that come from the distinguished Big Boss Shen?] [What did Demon King Shen do last night? Is it what I think it is?] [Can you give us the details? We can afford this much data, please!!!]
