Dauntless God Of War

Chapter 289

After Christie regained her composure, she spoke flirtatiously instead of pulling her collar higher.

I studied abroad, so there's no way I'd lose to you in matters related to this aspect. Besides, my purpose in coming here is to entice you.

To her puzzlement, she could not believe a highly influential boss in Dellmoor like Harold was willing to stay as an ordinary employee in such a small company.

He's so weird! He's making a young lady from the Fields family like me come to this place and take up this insignificant, menial job. If it weren't because of Father and Jose repeatedly vouching for his status, I'd never believe he's Dellmoor's most powerful boss.

“You're all right, I suppose. Inner beauty is the real beauty,” Harold replied nonchalantly. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He continued doing his work after saying that.

“You... You're a fool!” Christie grew furious again after listening to his indifferent response.

However, at the thought of her mission, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and put up with him.

While Harold was showing Christie around the workplace, Isabella learned the truth from her parents at the hotel, but she grew more sorrowful after knowing what actually happened.

The reason was that Marilyn had once told Isabella that her family was very traditional-minded. The female members of Marilyn's family would only give their virginity to their husbands.

Otherwise, they would be scorned.

“Alas! It seems like Harold and I are not fated to be together.”

Isabella let out a sigh after contemplating for some time. Then, she picked up her phone and contacted Marilyn to meet at Island Café.

After that incident, although Harold had suppressed the news and the related articles merely became trending online for half a day, the scandal greatly impacted Marilyn, especially in terms of losing her fans and followers.

Some of Marilyn's fans liked her for her beauty and singing talent, but most of them fancied her for her pure and innocent image.

Since her debut in the entertainment industry, she had never been involved in any scandals and had been keeping the reputation of a pure woman.

Unfortunately, after the exposure of that incident, Marilyn's image was immediately tarnished.

Most of her followers became her haters, while some fans no longer supported her.

That had caused Marilyn to feel dejected and unwilling to leave her house as she shut herself in.

Initially, she loathed Harold because not only did he ruin her career, but he also destroyed her life.

If any female members of the Schmidt family had coitus prior to marriage, the lightest punishment

would be banishment from the clan, while the worst consequence would be death by drowning.

Marilyn wondered if her family members had seen the trending headlines.

She did not even dare to establish contact with them in the past few days.

Only after Harold figured out the truth and Lacie made a public apology online did Marilyn know she and Harold were both victims in that matter.

Subsequently, her hatred toward him gradually dissipated, and she even started to admire his ability to resist temptation.

Before being affected by the medication, regardless of how she tried to seduce him, he remained composed, unfazed, and kept his eyes closed the whole time.

Marilyn pondered over plenty of thoughts in those few days, and she suddenly noticed she seemed to be harboring feelings for Harold.

The feelings mainly stemmed from her family's rule of requiring their female members to preserve their maidenhood for their husbands.

Therefore, according to the traditions, she could only marry Harold.

Even Marilyn was shocked when that idea popped into her mind.

Harold is married, not to mention he's Isabella's husband.

“It seems like it's time for me to leave Dellmoor to preserve their family's stability.”
