When night came, Isabella sent Harold a text through WhatsApp.
It read: Are you free tomorrow night? Marilyn is attending the Fields family's party tomorrow night and a press conference after that. She's missing a date. Do you think you can go with her?
Seeing Isabella had taken the initiative to send him a text, Harold replied without hesitation: Of course, I'm free when it's an order from my wife.
He curled his lips into a wry smile despite agreeing to it in a heartbeat.
That was because the Fields family had invited him through Craig and James, but he had rejected them.
It would be awkward if he appeared at the party.
Well, my wife has given the orders. I've got to go no matter how awkward it is.
“You're such a sweet talker. Well, that's settled, then. Make sure you dress properly. Don't embarrass her,” Isabella reminded.
Meanwhile, in the study of the Fields residence, which was in the upper-class district of Dellmoor, Laszlo Fields, the patriarch of the Fields family, was discussing the party with his son.
“Dad, Moneybags Smith's people have agreed to attend our party tomorrow, but his powerful backer didn't accept the invitation,” Jose Fields said to his father, looking troubled.
If Harold was in the room, he would have recognized who Jose was—the son of the Fields family he had met at Larson Corporation.
The Fields family was a prestigious family in the medical field.
Recently, the pharmaceutical company under their family had developed a new medication that could rapidly reduce the user's blood pressure.
Unfortunately, someone had released the news in advance, causing all the large-scale pharmaceutical companies in the state to set their sights on the Fields family.
To let the companies see their family's power and network, the Fields family decided to hold a party and invite Dellmoor's Big Three.
It was a way of telling the companies to reconsider if they wanted to oppress the Fields family.
Recently, there had been rumors of another mysterious big shot backing Craig and James.
If a big shot like that could attend the Fields family's party, they could definitely sit back and relax this time.
Laszlo and Jose had split up to invite Craig and James to the party.
They had even cast aside their ego to invite their backer.
Laszlo sighed. “Don't worry. It's the same with Craig's side. Let's just take things one step at a time. With Dellmoor's Big Three attending our party, we'll still be able to control the scene.”
Jose was used to his father's unchanging, dull expression.
After that, the duo discussed tomorrow's party and the day after's product launch.
The members of the Fields family were not the only ones worried about the party. There was another person in Marilyn's old condominium feeling worried about the event too.
That person was Lacie Jilsen, a well-known A-list artist, who was originally the pillar of Craig's entertainment company. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Her looks and her acting skills were top-notch. However, she had recently encountered many difficulties because of Marilyn.
Lacie looked livid as she sat on the couch and puffed on a cigarette. Sitting across from her was her sissy manager, Kornel Mayfield.
“What does Mr. McGowan mean by that, Kornel? Why would he give all my resources to Marilyn? Is there really something going on between him and Marilyn?” asked Lacie, looking displeased.
These days, Craig had been gradually reducing Lacie's resources. Even those that originally belonged to her had been transferred to Marilyn, the actress who had just become famous.
