Chapter 289
After Christie regained herposure, she spoke flirtatiously instead of pulling her cor higher.
I studied abroad, so there''s no way I''d lose to you in matters rted to this aspect. Besides, my
purpose ining 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 smallpany.
He''s so weird! He''s making a youngdy from the Fields family like mee to this ce 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 nonchntly.
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 workce, Isabe 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 Isabe 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.
“s! It seems like Harold and I are not fated to be together.”
Isabe let out a sigh after contemting for some time. Then, she picked up her phone and contacted
Marilyn to meet at Ind Café.
After that incident, although Harold had suppressed the news and the rted 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 n, 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, ording 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 Isabe''s husband.
“It seems like it''s time for me to leave Dellmoor to preserve their family''s stability.”
