Renee turned to Justin, her eyes meeting his affectionate gaze. She was stunned for a while before

she smiled and asked him, "What about you? Did you mean what you said?"

Justin felt his heart skip a beat and his eyes widened slightly. 'Why am I losing my cool like this? What

is happening to me?’ He thought in bewilderment.

He raised his eyebrows and said in a half-joking manner, "Of course, I'm serious about it. Ever since I

found out that you're Phoenix, I regretted my decision not to marry you four years ago."

"Is that so?" Renee laughed and asked him, 'The Baldwin family is pretty prestigious... Would they

accept a divorcee like me?”

"What's wrong with being a divorcee?” Justin's handsome face became serious, and he sounded angry

as he said, "Those men are fools to give up such loving partners. It's another man's fortune to be

married to a divorcee. ■

"You might not care, but surely your family does, right?"

"Don't worry, no one would dare object. I guarantee that they'll welcome you with open arms."

He added, "My grandfather admired yours his entire life. Once he knows you're Maurice's

granddaughter, he'll instantly arrange for us to be wed. The Hunt family might not have known your

worth, but I can assure you that the Baldwin family will treasure you."

Renee felt relieved when she heard Justin's words. "Alright. I’ll think about it."

When Justin heard her reply, he felt like a giddy schoolboy again. "I'll just take it that you agree!"

The flight from Sutton to Beach City took three hours. Renee and Justin chatted for a while before

falling asleep, and when she woke up, the plane had already landed.

Justin suddenly turned to her and blurted out, "Hey, don't freak out, but my family might be a little..." He

trailed off, looking hesitant.

"What?" She removed her eye mask and glanced sleepily at him.

He sighed and mumbled, "A little flashy, I guess. Just don't let it get to you."

Renee didn't take his words seriously, and just waved her hand dismissively as she followed him down

from the plane.

The moment they exited the airport, Renee realized that 'a little flashy' was a huge understatement.

There were over a hundred drones in the air, floating around in formation to project the words

'Welcome Miss Renee!'

To Renee's horror, even the airport car park had been cleared out to make way for an army of

shoulders who immediately shouted, "Welcome to the Baldwin family, Miss Renee!"

"Agh!" Renee was so shocked that she almost fell down. She quickly hid behind Justin and grabbed

onto his arm.

Renee watched in shock as the soldiers then proceeded to march on the spot with spears in their

hands. It looked like they were about to enter the battlefield at any moment.

"What's happening?" Renee gasped, her eyes wide as she hid behind Justin.
