A Crazy One-night Stand

Wilson held Alina's hand as they walked back to where the people were gathered. He whispered to her, "Lina, we might need to mention the Pines and Cranes jigsaw puzzle later. Remember, regardless of whoever questioned you, just say that you were the one who completed the puzzle. Do you understand?" 

Alina pouted. "But you're the one who did more of it!" 

Wilson responded with a smile, "Silly girl, just listen to me. If anyone asks you about it, tell them that you solved the puzzle all by yourself."

"Okay," Alina agreed reluctantly.

The two of them walked quietly in comfortable silence. From a distance, Silvia ran up to Wilson. When she saw the two of them hand in hand, she glared at Alina with dissatisfaction and cursed, "What a shameless woman!"

Wilson immediately frowned and warned her, "Silvia, if you disrespect your sister-in-law one more time, don't blame me for punishing you later."

When Silva heard Wilson's harsh threat, she burst into tears. Wiping her tears away, she stamped her feet indignantly. "Wilson, how could you!"  

Pointing angrily at Alina, Silvia couldn't speak another word and ran away in a huff. 

Alina frowned, her heart pounding. 

Alina knew that this path was destined to be rocky and many obstacles awaited her. 

But she had already chosen to be with Wilson, hadn't she?

Hadn't she already decided to stick with him? No matter how difficult it was, as long as Scumbag did not let go of her hand, she would try her best to be worthy of him. She would muster up all her strength, weak as she might be, to shelter him from the storms of life. She wanted to be there to support him, like a sunflower that follows after the sunlight. 

Alina grabbed Wilson's hand and smiled brightly at him. "I'll do my best!"

Wilson nodded.

He knew that he had chosen the right person to be his wife! 

When they came nearer to the crowd, the housekeeper was already busy seating the guests. "Thank you all for coming to Mr. Lincoln Scott's birthday celebration. Please take you seats as the dishes will be served right away."

After the announcement, people who were still socialising began to take their seats one after another. 

Today's birthday celebration was a great opportunity for these businessmen. They could network, share insider information with each other, or even end up with a collaboration with other companies.

When the housekeeper saw that everyone was getting seated in an orderly manner, he announced in a loud voice, "The relatives of the Scott Family, please take your seats at the small courtyard on the west side. Four tables are set up there." 

When Alina heard the housekeeper's words, she looked at Wilson in surprise. "Are there so many people in the Scott Family?" 

Wilson explained with a smile, "Grandfather has two younger brothers and one younger sister. Although they have passed away, their children and grandchildren are here. To be honest, it might get quite crowded with only four tables."  

"I see." Alina nodded her head with understanding.

Who wouldn't want to suck up to rich relatives? Besides, these guests were already regarded as close relatives. As Scumbag mentioned, if they announced the birthday celebration publicly, many people would rush and try to squeeze through the Scott Family's doors to join the event. 

Wilson took Alina's hand and walked to the courtyard on the west side according to the housekeeper's instructions. He said to her, "None of the distant relatives are invited to join at the private tables. Most of the Scott Family's relatives work within the companies under the Scott Group. As long as they have the ability, many of them are placed in managerial positions."
