Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 308: Commander Gu's Weakness

Previously at the Deep Blue Cinema incident, Gu Jue had directly apprehended Gu Weida and Li Hao.

At that time, the old man Gu Tao didn't come to find Gu Jue directly.

Instead, he went to cry and complain to Gu Zilan.

He even tried to use his status as an elder to pressure Gu Zilan, asking him to go to Gu Jue and have Gu Weida released.

But how sly Gu Zilan was.

He deftly sidestepped the issue with Tai Chi tactics and resolutely failed to give Gu Tao any answer.

This time, because of the clues previously provided by Bai Qi, the Duke Bai's family also had problems.

Gu Jue sent people to search but they did not find the whereabouts of the man in black.

After that, Gu Jue had Bai Nanxi taken away for interrogation.

This time, Duke Bai could not sit still.

He went to Prince Gu Tao to join him in confronting Gu Jue.

But who was Gu Jue? Would he be afraid of their little schemes?
