With a stoic expression, Rosalynn put away the silver needle and fastened her seat belt.
Barlow, still seemingly unfazed by her resistance, accelerated the car.
âWhy do you dislike me so much? After all, I once saved you, didnât I?â
âYou saved me, and I saved you.
Weâre even now,â Rosalynn responded indifferently.
âam I truly such a terrible person in your eyes?â Barlow prodded innocently.
Rosalynn glanced at him and replied, âNo.
â
Barlow smiled, thinking he had made progress, but before he could say more, Rosalynn continued, âYouâre not a bad man.
Youâre a cunning fox.
â
He was cunning, with a hidden agenda that no one could see through.
Barlow was left speechless, unable to come up with a response.
Barlow chauffeured Rosalynn to a famous hotel in the city, a venue currently abuzz with festivity.
Harlan and Bryleeâs wedding photos graced a massive electronic screen, illuminating the Lively scene of arriving guests.
Stepping out of the car, Rosalynn spotted the parents of the newlyweds greeting guests.
Approaching Harlanâs mother, Mamie, she offered her gift.
âCongratulations, Mamie!â
Mamie, with a smile as radiant as the venue, responded, âSeeing you at Harlanâs wedding warms my heart.
However, I canât accept your gift.
â
Rosalynn, recognizing the polite refusal as nothing more than a formality, pressed the gift into Mamieâs hands.

âPleasure to meet you.
Iâm Barlow Tucker, a friend of Rosalynnâs.
â
Following suit, Barlow introduced himself and handed over his gift.
âNice to meet you too.
â Sizing up Barlowâs elegant demeanor and high-end attire, Mamie teased, âAre you Rosalynnâs boyfriend?â
âNo,â Rosalynn quickly retorted, her brows knitting into a frown.
Unfazed, Barlow chimed in, âWell, Iâm still chasing after her.
â
âOh, I see.
â The coy exchange elicited a chuckle from Mamie, who then encouraged them to join the party inside.
âCome inside.
Harlanâs just entertaining some of the guests.
