The guests began to enjoy themselves after the bride and the groom made a toast to them .
It was impossible for Kate to ignore the handsome Owen . After one mouthful of food , Kate leaned over and said , “ Owen , you are so handsome . You must be married . ”
With a faint smile , Owen replied , “ Not yet . ”
“ Do you have a girlfriend ? ”

were a local
That was how Kate got deceived . Hearing Betty , Kate flashed an embarrassed smile and said , “ You are right , Betty . Sorry , Mr. Shaw . ”
Kate thought to herself , “ Rich people prefer a suitable marriage . The candidate for Mrs. Show must be somebody , not the villagers here . ”
Owen’s expression was s
was softened . “ No , no , don’t apologize . I know that you try to help . I do like someone . ”
Hearing this , Aaron raised his head with a jerk and forgot the food . He thought , is Mr. Shaw serious ? I see no woman in his life .
While Aaron was in shock , Kate selected him as her new prey . She asked him a lot of questions .
Suddenly , the little girl started coughing , and her face quickly turned red . Kate swiftly patted the girl on the back while offering her some water .

Not a good sign that so many people caught a cold at the same time , ” he thought .
When the wedding party was over , Owen looked at Kate and asked , “ Kate , do you have any masks at home ? ”
Kate nodded . “ Yes , I do . Do you need any ? ”
“ There may be a flu epidemic . Wear a mask when you have to go out . So should you , Betty . ”
Betty similed . “ Thanks for your advice , Mr. Shaw .

Daniel didn’t expect Liam to be so foolish though Liam had disappointed him many times . He felt lucky that he had another grandson . “ Or , the Cole Group will be completely ruined by Liam ,” he thought
“ Grandpa ,” Liam argued , “ Look . If I don’t give Aria the money , Mono’s student will cause trouble for her . If Aris reclaims the paintings , I will lose both the money and the paintings . ”
Liam had come up with a plan when he agreed to pay Aria . “ Now that Mono no longer lives in seclusion , and the identity of his student is still a mystery . I can sell these paintings at a price higher than one hundred million dollars after they are repaired .”
Daniel was well – informed though he spent most of his time at home . His expression was sohened . “ Get the paintings repaired first . Don’t transfer the money till Aria urges you . Just let Hannah know what she should . She does more harm than good . ”
Liam nodded with a complicated expression . “ Got you , Grandpa . ”

Hannah wiped off her tears . “ I shouldn’t waste my time on trifles . Many patients need me ,” she thought .
“ Mr. Shaw , the clinics are packed out for the flu . Speaking , Aaron pulled his mask with worry .
He might have been infected if Owen hadn’t let him wear a mask three days ago .
Owen frowned and said , “ The average flu doesn’t spread so quickly ?
“It is weird . I wish the medical team would arrive as soon as possible ”
Right then , Kate came into view , together with a wheelchair .

Kate stopped and replied with worry , “ Betty is infected . I am sending her to the hospital . ”
Owen looked at the wheelchair and found Betty nestling in it with a blanket ,
“ I should inform Madelyn , ” Kate said . Then , she walked on .
