    Chapter 16


    The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Aiken had a dinner party today, and Moira had dinner


    alone at home.


    Her marriage to Bary was already all over the inte, and ire’s dirty moves were brought to


    light. People either envied and congratted Moira or mocked and abused Allie online.


    At over eight o’clock in the evening, Bary finally replied to her on WhatsApp.


    She saw his name pop on the screen, her heart pounding sost and her hands trembling. She


    clicked it and saw his reply. [Not at all. Just stating the facts. His words were simple and efficient, as


    he was.


    Right. He was only stating the fact that they had married today.


    Moira inexplicably smiled, and the psychological pressure dispersed at once.


    She replied. [Anyway, sorry for all the trouble. And thanks again.]


    This time, Bary replied quickly and more concisely. [Okay.


    She took a screenshot of Bary’s reply and sent it to Juliet, and Juliet’s illusions were instantly


    shattered. Juliet: [Well, why did he marry you anyway?]


    Moira thought seriously and replied. [Maybe he needs a wife?]


    After all, Bary’s father, Eric Covington, had not been in good health in thest few years. There


    had been several rumors within the circle that Eric would select a wife for Bary, Bary had a


    half-brother, Alex Covington. Eric once wanted to make Alex the president of Sega. As long as Eric


    was still around, who would take over the Sega Group was still unknown. Alex had his mother to


    back him up, but Bary had nothing. So, if Eric forced him to marry somebody, he could not


    refuse. Instead of letting his stepmother blow pillow talk in Eric’s ear and choose a random wife for


    him, it would be better for him to do it himself.


    The more Moira thought about it, the closer she felt to the truth.


    Although the Jimenez family had declined in the past few years, they were a decent family. And


    many of Moira’s maternal rtives were politicians. Moira was popr in Arnelo, and Bary was


    lucky to marry her. Moira was so convinced by herself. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Moira felt that she had scored a lucky hit, too. However, she chose to marry him to avenge Alfio in


    the first ce. She felt the need to confess to Bary. But now was not the time. She had to admit


    that she was aspetitive as most women.


    While she wandered in her thoughts, the phone again lit up. Moira looked down at the telephone.


    Juliet sent a message. By the way, does your father know about this?]


    Julieti’s words instantly calmed Moira, who had spent the entire day today in a hyperactive and


    trance-like state.


    The first victory against ire was so joyful, yet after the joys, she had to face reality.


    Moira’s head suddenly hurt, and even those abusivements about ire couldn’t cheer her up.


    She went to the living room and watched TV while waiting for Aiken to re


    return. It was not until nine-thirty that Aiken returned, slightly drunk.


    Moira hurriedly poured a cup of water and handed it over. “Dad.”


    Aiken naturally knew what Moira was thinking. He took the cup and drank half a cup of water but


    said nothing.


    Moira sat beside him, anxiously pulling his shirt’s hem, and apologized. “Sorry, Dad. It’s all


    my fault.”


    Aiken couldn’t bear to be angry with Moira for too long, and thinking of what that man said in his


    office this afternoon, he sighed slightly. “I trust you,


    Moira.

    Hearing Aiken’s words. Moira’s eyes instantly reddened. She wanted to exin. But Alken’s face


    suddenly darkened, “Jeffrey contacted me just now, saying that he wanted to have dinner with us


    and tlist Allie wanted to kneel and apologize to you
