Chapter 8

Hand in hand with Asher, we left and got into the car. Once inside, he asked me to explain.

Counting the raw gems that had fallen into his palm, I didn't look up as I smirked.

"I was just making it up. Elias clearly wasn't in his right mind, and I was afraid he might do something stupid, so I went along with what he was saying."

"I'm not interested in him, don't worry."

Giving me a reproachful look, he placed his large hand on my waist.

Asher put the items in his hand into his bag and leaned close to whisper in my ear.

"Vesper, I want a child too."

"Our child."

...

I didn't expect that after we left that day, Elias's wedding would become a trending topic.

He publicly laid hands on Athena, and Athena, no pushover herself, immediately scratched his face.

The bride and groom ended up in a brawl, turning the wedding venue into a laughingstock for everyone present.

The video was uploaded online, and more than Elias's career, it was this wedding that made him infamous.
