The guests began to enjoy themselves after the bride and the groom made a toast to them.
It was impossible for Kate to ignore the handsome Owen. After one mouthful of food, Kate leaned over and said, “Owen, you are so handsome. You must be married.”
With a faint smile, Owen replied, “Not yet.”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No.”

That was how Kate got deceived. Hearing Betty, Kate flashed an embarrassed smile and said, “You are right, Betty. Sorry, Mr. Shaw.”
Kate thought to herself, “Rich people prefer a suitable marriage. The candidate for Mrs. Show must be somebody, not the villagers here.”

was softened. “No, no, don’t apologize. I know that you try to help. I do like someone.”
Hearing this, Aaron raised his head with a jerk and forgot the food. He thought, is Mr. Shaw serious? I see no woman in his life.
While Aaron was in shock, Kate selected him as her new prey. She asked him a lot of questions.
Suddenly, the little girl started coughing, and her face quickly turned red. Kate swiftly patted the girl on the back while offering her some water.
Betty gave Kate a hand while saying, “Many folks caught a cold recently. The kid is vulnerable, so you had better keep her at home.”
The little girl was Violet, two years old: She was the daughter of Kate’s daughter,
Kate’s daughter got married at a very young age. Now, she worked with her husband in another city. Kate had an easy job and volunteered to take care of Volet Kate replied, “I will”

“Be good, Violet. I’ll give you some medicine after we get home. You will be okay soon,” Kate comforted.
“Meat! I want,” Violet said. Kate quickly gave her granddaughter some meat.

Not a good sign that so many people caught a cold at the same time,” he thought.
When the wedding party was over, Owen looked at Kate and asked, “Kate, do you have any masks at home?”
Kate nodded. “Yes, I do. Do you need any?”
“There may be a flu epidemic. Wear a mask when you have to go out. So should you, Betty.”
Betty similed. “Thanks for your advice, Mr. Shaw.
“You may call me Owen,” Owen responded.
Owen then said to Aaron, “Let’s go buy some masks and medicine. Aaron showed no objections.

Daniel clutched his chest at the news that Liam intended to wire one hundred million dollars to Aria. “You know the status quo of the Cole Group. Why did you sign the paper?”

Daniel didn’t expect Liam to be so foolish though Liam had disappointed him many times. He felt lucky that he had another grandson. “Or, the Cole Group will be completely ruined by Liam,” he thought
“Grandpa,” Liam argued, “Look. If I don’t give Aria the money, Mono’s student will cause trouble for her. If Aris reclaims the paintings, I will lose both the money and the paintings.”
Liam had come up with a plan when he agreed to pay Aria. “Now that Mono no longer lives in seclusion, and the identity of his student is still a mystery. I can sell these paintings at a price higher than one hundred million dollars after they are repaired.”
Daniel was well–informed though he spent most of his time at home. His expression was sohened. “Get the paintings repaired first. Don’t transfer the money till Aria urges you. Just let Hannah know what she should. She does more harm than good.”
Liam nodded with a complicated expression. “Got you, Grandpa.”

Hannah shed tears because the ridicule from her family was hurtful. “How can you misunderstand me as outsiders do?”

Hannah wiped off her tears. “I shouldn’t waste my time on trifles. Many patients need me,” she thought.
“Mr. Shaw, the clinics are packed out for the flu. Speaking, Aaron pulled his mask with worry.
He might have been infected if Owen hadn’t let him wear a mask three days ago.
Owen frowned and said, “The average flu doesn’t spread so quickly?
“It is weird. I wish the medical team would arrive as soon as possible”
Right then, Kate came into view, together with a wheelchair.
“Kate, what’s wrong?” Owen asked.
Kate stopped and replied with worry, “Betty is infected. I am sending her to the hospital.”
