    In stark contrast to Jaxon’s turmoil, Isabe embodied the image of a blushing, excited bride.


    Taking wedding photos was one of the most crucial moments for a woman.


    Although the original schedule ted the photography session for two o’clock in the afternoon, Isabe


    arrived eagerly by 1:30 p.m. at the photo studio. She was too anxious


    to wait.


    A supervisor greeted her enthusiastically, “Ms. Jennings, we have prepared various wedding dress


    styles and suits for you in advance. We can begin when the groom is


    here.”


    ncing at her luxurious watch, Isabe realized there were still 20 minutes until Jaxon’s arrival.


    A hint of worry lingered within her, fearing that Jaxon might have regretted their


    marriage.


    Jaxon had always seemed so indifferent while she was the one putting in all the effort.


    Smiling politely at the supervisor, she said, “Alright, thank you.”


    Just to put her mind at ease, Isabe stepped away to call Jaxon.


    After a few rings, he answered.


    “Jaxon, you’reing for the photo shoot this afternoon, right?” Isabe asked with at mix of shyness


    and urgency.


    At this time, Jaxon was driving. “Yes, I’m on my way,” he replied.


    Finally feeling reassured, Isabe began browsing the wedding dresses. She chose a figure-hugging


    fishtail style with a shoulder-baring neckline that perfectly entuated her proportions.


    With the supervisor’s help, she slipped on the wedding dress. Jaxon was walking into the studio when


    Isabe came out.


    His gaze lifted to meet the figure in that sacred white dress.


    The supervisor showered Isabe withpliments. “Ms. Jennings, you look amazing in this wedding


    dress. It feels like it was made for you. There is no need for adjustment. It fits you perfectly,” the


    supervisor gushed.


    Isabe was so ttered by thepliments. She then instinctively turned to the

    entrance and saw Jaxon stand rooted to the ground.


    She became overjoyed.


    100%


    “Jaxon, do you like it?” she asked. Her eyes were eagerly seeking apliment.


    Lost in his thoughts, Jaxon was abruptly snapped back to the present. He nodded in response to her


    question.


    In truth, the moment he stepped in, the dress had captivated himpletely, not for its beauty or style


    but for the memories it evoked.


    Many years ago, when money was tight, Jaxon often took Olivia window-shopping.


    Once, they passed by a famous bridal shop, and in the disy window were wedding dresses almost


    identical to what Isabe was wearing now.


    Back then, Olivia lost in a daze as she gazed longingly at the wedding dress. That look had stayed with


    him until this very day,


    When Jaxon first came in just now, it felt like he had traveled back in time.


    The bride before him transformed into that wistful Olivia in the past.


    Sensing the tension, the supervisor skillfully interjected, “Did you see? The groom’s captivated! Ms.


    Jennings, you are one lucky woman.”


    However, Jaxon’s distracted look had not escaped her notice either. Isabe’s face could not help but


    blush slightly at the supervisor’s yful remark.

    ke, a man of efficiency, wasted no time as soon as hended. His first move was to call Christopher.


    In a teasing tone, ke asked, “Are you sure you’re noting to Dellmoor?”


    ke could not quite fathom Christopher’s approach to the situation.


    Typically, when someone he cared about was involved, Christopher’s response would be to rush to


    their side.

    Christopher exined, “I can’t leave these time. Once things settle down


    public, and I can’t afford to be away during


    here, I’lle over. Meanwhile, keep an eye on them and make sure they’re safe.”


    Hearing that, ke suddenly grasped the reasons behind Christopher’s decision.

    ke pushed his luggage and took a cab to a top-notch hotel in Dellmoor that he had booked for


    himself.


    Pulling out hisptop, ke started a meticulous search on Kimberly.


    However, beyond routine business records, there was surprisingly little personal information avable

    online about her.


    As ke looked at Kimberly’s photos, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He immediately believed that she


    was a perfect match for Christopher.


    Yet, a sudden realization sparked a pang of remorse in ke for his friend’s blindness. Thetter had


    failed to cherish this precious person who had been by his side for two years. She was so close yet


    overlooked. Christopher had even resorted to using Kiara to drive her away in disgust.


    Moving on, ke began gathering useful information about Kimberly’s recent distressful situation.


    He hacked into the stalker’s phone records and performed a technical analysis on the fragments of


    intercepted phone calls.


    The conclusion was evident-the culprit was cu nning, and what had unfolded was a premeditated


    crime.


    ke now understood Christopher’s anxiety.


    Dealing with a hidden enemy was tricky indeed.


    It seemed he had to explore alternative approaches.


    Since the enemy’sir had been disturbed, they were unlikely to surface anytime soon.


    Nevertheless, Kimberly appeared to be temporarily safe.


    Protecting the children was a priority while probing deeper.


    To ke’s astonishment, he discovered traces of Curtis’ involvement in this incident.


    As an industry insider, he knew Curtis worked for Patterson Finance Group. Nevertheless, he could not

    got a few


    He called Christopher and immediately got to the point. He said, “I’ve questions. I’m not sure if you


    have the answers. Do you have any idea who Kimberly and your enemies are?”


    Chapter 181


    Puzzled, Christopher asked, “How are my enemies connected to Kimberly’s danger?”


    With a heartyugh, ke replied, “You don’t quite get it. Maybe your enemies have figured out that


    Kimberly is your weakness and want to target you through her.”


    This new angle came after his routine attempts had failed to provide a clue.


    Also, ke had worked with simr situations, dealing with women skilled at using covert methods.


    “Take your time to recall them, especially your past entanglements with women,” he reminded


    Christopher.


    Then, he added, “Also, I found something strange. Curtis Spencer from Patterson. Finance Group is


    also investigating this matter.


    The mention of Patterson Finance Group felt like steel needles piercing Christopher into a realization.


    He was lost in contemtion. He never expected that Gerald would be interested in Kimberly’s affairs.


    His pupils subconsciously tightened as he wondered, ‘Who could have informed Gerald. about this? If it


    weren’t for Candice, I would have been in the darkpletely. Did Kimberly get close to Gerald and


    share everything with him?”


    Growing impatient with Christopher’s distraction. ke yelled, “Christopher! What’s going on in your


    head? What are your thoughts on this? It seems your ex-wife’s charm is quite something”


    ke’s uracy left Christopher deeply rattled.


    “Find out Gerald Patterson’s whereabouts. Check if he’s in Dellmoor, Christopher demanded.
