Top Ten August WPC Winner! Update Schedule: M-F It was supposed to be a simple contract marriage between the two of them. He could avoid being tied to a vicious woman who had been pursuing him since birth. She could gain external support to overcome her illegitimate status and become the heir apparent and CEO of the Valentine conglomerate. It was a relationship where they were supposed to use each other. But now- “Commander, your wife is having a private dinner with the CEO of a technology company. During the dinner, he held her hands and tried touching her waist.” “Directly leak their company secrets and sink their stocks.” An angry voice replied. “Commander, the Co-CEO of a startup company sent a room worth of roses to your wife’s office.” “It seems he no longer wants to live. Directly buy out the other shares and oust him from his position. Go and order enough roses to fill up every room in her office. Fly them in if you need to.” When he got home. “Wife, why are you angry? Should I rub your feet? Help you take a bath?” “Why are you interfering with me? Wasn’t this supposed to be a contract marriage?” his wife coyly asked him. The man suddenly picked her up and carried her up the stairs while giving her a devilish smile. “Yes, we are. I’m contracted to love, protect, and cherish you. Let me show you how much.”

Then Richard appeared. He was dressed simply in a long-sleeved black turtleneck that outlined his defined upper body, black pants that highlighted his long legs, and steel-toed black boots. On his chest hung a platinum necklace with dog tags. His hair hung in his face, perfectly highlighting his sharp jawline, angular features, and gray eyes narrowed in a frown.
With both hands in his pocket, he gave off a lazy yet confident air as he approached the group. As he got closer, he locked eyes with Celeste, looking her over with a protective gaze before glancing a Titania and then back to her with his brows arched in question.
