How Could This Be?

For the following days, the Wang family spent a large sum of money trying to suppress the news related to Jin Long and his threesome wild night at the hotel. Since they were the ones who came up with the plan to set Jessica up with Jin Long, they had to take responsibility for his negative news.

"What do you mean you can't suppress the news? I paid you fifty million dollars to deal with this matter! Why are the headlines still about Jin Long? What? You can't do it? Someone else paid you guys? How much did that son of a gun pay? I'll pay double the amount!" Father Wang screamed into the phone, annoying the party he was speaking to.

"Sorry, but the person already said they would pay triple the amount that you give us. Even if you go bankrupt, you wouldn't be able to beat this person. I suggest you save your money to warm your wallet while you can. Don't call me anymore." The person on the other end of the call hung up on Father Wang leaving him in a furious state.

Father Wang's vein nearly popped out of his skin when he heard the beeping tone from the phone. "This bastard dared to hang up on me?!"

"Hubby, try calling Jessica, that brat! She must have been the one who set this up. Think about it! The dinner was going smoothly until Jin Long lost consciousness. The waiter was supposed to deliver the spiked drink to Jessica. Then, Jin Long was supposed to bring her to the hotel room and then have sex with her. After this news broke out, Jin Long told us that she wasn't there!" Mother Wang spoke with such confidence in her words.

"You think I haven't thought about that already? I've tried contacting the damn girl since this incident came out, but she never picked up my calls! She even dared to block my number from her phone!" Father Wang threw his phone across the living room, breaking an antique vase.

"What can we do now? Jin Long's reputation has always been good. Now, it is all ruined! We can't suppress the news nor do we have a daughter to marry off to him! This is all because of your spoiling! I told you we needed to be strict on her, especially after Isaac ran off with that slut Kyla! Now? Great! What a juicy joke of the year? Not only did we lose a potential son-in-law, your daughter was the one who set him up too! Everything is over. We are over and so is the company." Mother Wang spoke outrageous thoughts as she thought about their company's stocks plummeting.

Trembling uncontrollably with her fists tightly clenched like stones, she slammed a punch into the wall. The television shook along the vibrations of the wall while some petals fell off the blossoms in a vase nearby. "No! I need to find Jessica and have her announce to the reporters that everything was a prank. She is engaged with Jin Long and they are getting married soon. Yes, I must have her correct this crap she created!" Mother Wang rushed out the door, bringing the chauffeur with her.

Within half an hour, Mother Wang reached Jessica's apartment. Balling her fists, she banged against the closed door violently. Neighbors peeked out curiously with the police's number dialed on their number pad. If anything went wrong, they would immediately call the police on her. Some neighbors decided to inform the landlord about this matter before taking further actions.

Unfortunately, for Mother Wang, Jessica has already moved out and informed the landlord about her leave. Ten minutes before Mother Wang had arrived, Jessica and Alfred have moved everything out of her apartment. Therefore, no matter how long Mother Wang waits or hit the door; Jessica wouldn't come back.

However, someone else was coming for Mother Wang - the police. When Mother Wang created trouble for the neighbors, the landlord received many complaints and contacted Jessica to inform her about her mother's arrival.

"Hello? Jessica?" The landlord sounded serious when speaking to her.

"Oh, George! What's up?" She answered.

"After you left, your mother came and started pounding against the door. I think she is looking for you, but didn't know that you moved. She's disturbing the other renters. Should I let her know that you've moved or just warn her to stop before I call the police?" After knowing Jessica for years, he knew the relationship between her, and her mother was far from good.

"Thanks for asking me before taking legal actions. You could call the police and let them handle it. That lady and I have no relations anymore. If she comes again, you can block her path and not let her enter. If she persists in causing trouble, then you could take further legal actions." Jessica spoke a few more words and apologized for the inconveniences this brought to others.

Right after their conversation ended, the landlord contacted the police about a hooligan trying to break into one of the apartments. Since the police station was a few blocks away from them, it took less than fifteen minutes for help to arrive. The landlord led the officers to Mother Wang where she was then handcuffed and taken away.

As she left, she screamed on top of her lungs, "Jessica Wang! You dare call the police on me? I am your mother! I gave birth to you! Did you think I would let you off just like this? You are going to the media and clearing up Jin Long's reputation! I'm telling you that this will happen even if you don't want it to!"

Meanwhile, Alfred had brought Jessica back to his place. He carried all the heavy boxes and let her take some light weight ones. After carrying her belongings into his home, he gave her a house tour around his place. Although it was a condo, it was as spacious as a villa. There was a study room, living room, game room, three bedrooms, two restrooms, open kitchen, a balcony and a dining area.

"Oh right, I have a surprise for you." Alfred said, covering Jessica's eyes with his hands. Slowly guiding her from behind, he led her into the study room. He entered the passcode on the wall next to a brown book shelf. Slowly, the shelf slid to the side and a door appeared.

"Keep your eyes closed." He whispered to her ears before entering another passcode. Once he heard the beeping sound from the door, he knew it was unlocked. "You can open your eyes and then open this door."

"Mm.." She looked at the metal door in confusion. Pictures and videos of horror movie plots exploded in her mind. She smiled awkwardly and reached for the door handle. Taking a quick look at Alfred, she rotated the handle and pulled the door open.

A gasp escaped her mouth as she saw a beautiful view in front of her - it was a wine room with her favorite wine brands! "Wow, these are my favorite brands. How did you get the entire collection?" She roamed around the secret room with her eyes glued to the wine bottles.

"That wasn't the hard part. The hard part was finding out what my wife favors." He chuckled while studying the joy from her smiles.

"Wait, you couldn't have had enough time to plan all this when we spent the last few days together...Why do I have a feeling that I was tricked into this marriage? Hmmm?" She playfully turned around with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Who knows? Were you tricked?" He laughed, shrugging in response to her question.

While this couple was having fun messing around, Celinda and Bryan were enjoying their time overseas.
