She lifted her camera and took some photos. As she walked along the beach, she suddenly caught sight of a living creature.
Oh, my gosh! Is that a mermaid?! An excited Josephine looked in the sea’s direction. Just then, a well- built figure emerged from the sea amidst the waves.
She hurriedly zoomed in with the camera in her hands and focused on a handsome face. Her pupils dilated. Whoa! That’s a merman, not a mermaid!
The man’s chiseled face was covered with water droplets. It was apparent that he was a biracial man with both local and foreign. lineages. He was the epitome of the best of both worlds.
He’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen! Josephine couldn’t help but take photos of him sneakily. She focused on the man’s face and pressed the shutter repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the man had already come out of the sea. He had well built muscles, defined abs, and an attractive Adonis belt. As the lens lowered,
Josephine gulped. The man was only clad in swim trunks, and his package was bulging.
While walking on the beach, Ethan caught sight of camera flashes, which prompted him to look in that direction. The moment the lens moved to the man’s face, Josephine shuddered in shock, for she realized that the handsome man was staring at her.
Damn it! I’m caught red-handed! She didn’t want to be regarded as a pervert, so she turned around and ran away. However, since she was running on a narrow path, she accidentally lost her footing and fell onto the beach. “Ah!”
At that moment, she was unable to get up, and the dazzling sunlight made her close her eyes. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man looking down at her while clad only in a towel. He squinted his eyes and stared at her.
“Hi!” Although Josephine was a mess, she forced a smile and greeted the man.
“Do you love taking photos of men so much?” Ethan was displeased with the woman for taking photos of him without his consent.
If the woman uploaded the photos to some porn sites, his reputation would be ruined. Moreover, it wasn’t the first time he caught some paparazzi doing that. He was only clad in swim trunks that day, so the woman had violated his privacy by taking. photos of him. Therefore, he had to capture the culprit.
Josephine sat up at once and explained, “Please don’t get me wrong, mister. I’m just taking photos of the view around here.” Ethan picked up the camera from the floor and went through the photos. What a liar! Six out of ten photos are me! Furthermore, she has taken photos of me from head to toe, including my package. What makes her think I’ll believe her?
When Josephine saw the man going through the photos, she flushed. I shouldn’t have come to this place! “Are you a paparazzo? Which company do you work for?”
“I’m not a paparazzo; I’m a reporter, Josephine refuted. Ethan sneered. If she’s not a paparazzo, why did she take sneak photos of me? What a liar! He then started deleting the photos. When he was done with that, he tossed the camera back to her. “Don’t let me catch you doing this again.” To him, Josephine was just a peeping Tom.
“Hey… I really didn’t mean to take photos of you.” Josephine patted the sand away and got to her feet. The next moment, she squatted, realizing that she had twisted her ankle.
“Ouch!” she exclaimed and looked at the man in front of her. Ethan took a sip of water and was ready to go. back. He had a beach buggy with him. “Hey, mister. Can you give me a lift? I sprained my ankle, Josephine pleaded.
“No.” Ethan turned her down directly. I’m a guest at the wedding too. Will you please lend me a helping hand?” Josephine asked politely.
Ethan entered the beach buggy and shot her a look. “Don’t try to use this trick to approach me. I’m not interested in women like you.” He then stepped on the gas pedal and left.
Josephine was dumbfounded upon hearing. that. Although he’s handsome, he’s too narcissistic. Do I look like I want to approach him?
Although she felt like crying, she could only pick up her camera and stood up with difficulty. No longer in the mood to take photos, she dialed the number the driver had given her and waited for someone to pick her up.
Meanwhile, Ethan had returned to his villa. He was still displeased with the woman for taking sneak photos of him, so he had no qualms about leaving her on the beach, even though her ankle was sprained.
On the beach near the villas, Selena was having fun. Her curvy figure caught a lot of attention. Middle- aged men especially loved staring at her. Selena knew that the men sitting under the umbrellas, regardless of their appearances, were all wealthy.
These men were worth billions, respectively, which was why she had to show them she had an attractive figure.
A moment later, she approached a decent- looking middle-aged man and asked for a cold drink. As she took a sip, she threw flirtatious glances at him.
The guests were all restrained, for they didn’t want to cause any trouble before the wedding. Until evening, Selena still hadn’t managed to get any contact number from the men.
Anyway, it was only the first day, and the wedding was still three days away.
Furthermore, she could stay there for a week, so she still had plenty of time.
The moment she returned to the villa, she saw Josephine getting out of the sightseeing car. As their eyes met, Selena was surprised to learn. that the woman who had argued with her mother stayed in the house beside theirs..
When Heidi saw her daughter tottering into the house, she was shocked. She promptly passed her a hot towel and reminded her not to leave the house before recovering.
Josephine decided to obey her mother and recuperate in the house. In the meantime, Selena told her mother about Selena and Heidi staying in the villa beside theirs. A displeased Olivia said, “I don’t think they’re wealthy. Just look at their bags, which are worth less than 1,500 respectively. They’re probably some poor people who shamelessly. came to the wedding without an invitation.”
Upon finishing her words, Olivia was startled for a moment, for she was also that kind of person. She quickly said, “We’re different, though. We’re Ellen’s relatives, so they can’t compare to us.”
Connor frowned. “Just keep your mouth shut, will you? They’re also guests, just like us. Please stop embarrassing Ellie.” Olivia snapped. ‘Why did you even bring her up?
We’ve been here for quite a while, but she has never come over and greeted us. Does she regard us as her seniors at all?” “Ellie is busy, which is why she doesn’t have time to visit us,” said Connor, defending Ellen.
Olivia snorted. “Connor, you’re just refusing to admit that we’re no different from outsiders to Ellen now.”
Selena no longer wanted to listen to her parents’ conversation, so she went to the third floor and stood on the balcony. As she looked at the brightest spot, she realized that must be where Ellen stayed. She must be surrounded by many people who propose a toast to her and greet her. She’s Mrs. Presgrave now, after all.
She was bitter and jealous, but it wasn’t like. there was anything she could do about it. Unlike her speculation, Ellen didn’t meet many people since she was pregnant. Apart from the closest relatives, Jared didn’t let anyone else meet
Ellen so that she could get some rest.
At this point, all the important guests had arrived. The Mansons, the Weisses, and the Lloyds were the Presgraves’ closest friends. In the evening, a group of women were seated in a cafe by the beach and had a talk. They were
Anastasia, Sophia, Angela, and Queenie. Now, their children were all adults, and their careers were on the right track, so they were free to gather together from time to time. They were best friends who met up frequently, so their relationship remained robust..
Although their children worked in different parts of the world, they would come into contact often, which strengthened the ties between the four families.
The breeze brought with it the night’s coolness. Some waiters stood near these wealthy ladies, ready to serve them at any moment. The younger waitresses were envious of them.
These mature ladies were elegant and in their element. Apparently, they had loving husbands and brilliant children by their side. On top of that, they had successful careers and important social statuses. Women like them were the winners in life.
As darkness descended, the entire island fell into silence. Some guests refused to go back to their rooms as they roamed around the beach and took in the night view. Some of them were in cafes and bars.
Ethan was one of those people who just couldn’t sleep. He initially wanted to ask Jared to come out and have a drink with him. However, he decided not to bother his friend since the latter had a wife by his side. Therefore, he was seated in the bar alone as he drank beer and pondered his family affairs.
Just then, Selena elegantly walked into the bar. She was there to look for a potential husband. The wealthy men she came across on the beach in the morning made her think that all the male guests were middle-aged men.
Much to her surprise, she saw a man who was just as handsome as Jared in a bar in the middle of the night. He was seated under a chandelier as the dim light engulfed him. His black shirt added a layer of mystery to his stunningly goodlooking face.
Selena was besotted with the man. As she looked at the man’s wristwatch, she realized he wasn’t just rich; he was ultra-rich.
Several women around the man were also drooling over him, and one of them got to her feet. Selena was someone who would achieve her goal at all costs, so she certainly wouldn’t let the woman approach the handsome man.
