Hearing that, Fade, who was still emotional, was suddenly speechless. He glared at her and replied, "Momo, I have helped you! You can't betray me!" Momo twitched her tiny nose and snorted coldly to Fade, "That will depend on your performance. Otherwise, I would contact my sister..."

"Momo, please don't, tell me what you want me to do. I will definitely go all out and won't let you down," Fade said hurriedly.

Seeing Fade's reaction, Momo couldn't help but laugh, "I like this attitude. However, I have no idea what I want you to do now. We will talk about it later!"

Hearing that, Fade was confused and speechless again. He could no longer remember how many favors he owed Momo.

However, it was obviously not the time to talk about this, so Fade nodded in agreement, and then walked out after Momo.

At that moment, Momo had her back on Fade. Her mischievous face was painted with a tinge of sadness. She whispered to herself, "Fade, I know your feelings for my sister. I can't be too selfish. I can't upset my sister! So, you can just treat this as a joke."

Due to the circumstances, Momo's plan of a fake marriage naturally couldn't take effect any longer.

The two of them didn't continue thinking about it too, they treated it as an opportunity to have a good time together. In the evening, Fade sent Momo back to Soo Manor, and he returned to the villa of Boss Xu. Boss Xu and Lauren were both very respectful to Fade. They greeted Fade when he returned to the villa and immediately served him some tea. "Mr. Chen, tomorrow is the annual banquet of the Soo family. We have received their invitation too, I don't know if you..."

Fade thought for a while and said, "It's okay, both of you can attend. Tomorrow, I will go to their annual banquet too."

"Yes!" Boss Xu and Lauren nodded.

Meanwhile, in other parts of South Bay City, the rich and powerful families were also discussing the Soo family's annual banquet.

Amongst them, many people were gossiping about Fade and Momo's affairs. After all, South Bay City was not a big city. Although the Soo family had tried to cover up Fade and Momo's affairs, the news was somehow leaked. Some well-informed people had already known about the situation and couldn't help but look forward to the Soo family's annual banquet the next day.

"Initially, I thought that the engagement between Momo and Hector was decided long ago and they would just make it official at the banquet, but I didn't expect someone to suddenly come out halfway and compete with Hector."

"Actually, it's not a competition, it's just a little sideline to the story. How could Fade be compared to Hector? The gap between them is too big!"

"Absolutely! If I were Soo family, it's easy to choose. There is no competition at all between these two men. Of course Hector is the better choice! He's better than Fade in every way, this includes his status and personality."

"So, at the annual banquet tomorrow, are we going to side with Hector?"

"Of course, should we even consider it? If you don't help Hector, then do you want to help Fade? That's impossible."

In the lively night, the Yao Manor and Soo Manor were even livelier.

It was just that, the young masters of both families had just gone through the incident during the day, so their expressions at the moment were gloomy.

Zarriah sat in front of his father, Somoset, with a cold face and said, "Dad, Fade was just too much, he almost hurt me, and..."

After listening to Zarriah's story, Somoset's face fell and he bellowed coldly, "He's absolutely crossed the line. He still didn't know who's the boss in the city, huh? He'd better not come tomorrow. I won't be treating him nicely-"

In the Yao family manor.

Hector was no better. He looked at his father, Salgado and his grandfather, Finnegan, and narrated the day's incident. Then he slammed on the chair's armrest with a dark expression and said harshly, "I must take revenge on Fade."

"Also that shameless b*tch, Momo. How could she kiss Fade in front of me! This kind of woman, I don't-"

Salgado frowned and said, "Momo is still the daughter of the Soo family after all. This marriage is still necessary. You still have to propose to her tomorrow. As for your post-marriage life, I will not care about it." Finnegan added, "Hector, you have to remember. You are the young master of the Yao family and our future hope. A woman is nothing to you, understand?"

"I understand! Grandpa!" Hector nodded, but his face was still gloomy. He gritted his teeth and thought, "Momo, I will definitely teach you a lesson after you marry me, you b*tch."

Just as the young masters of the two big families were in a heated discussion, a piece of news reached the hands of both families almost at the same time.

The one who received the news at the Soo family was Harper's mother, Lyla, while the one who received the news at the Yao family was Sonia's father, Henderson.

The news they received was about the investigation of the matter related to Harper, Sonia, and Abell being held up in Jade city.

The report of the investigation had been delivered to them.

After the two of them studied the report, their faces darkened almost at the same time, albeit in different locations. Looking at the photos on the report, they gritted their teeth with hatred and said, "It's you! My child had been trapped in Jade City because of you too. Tomorrow, I must-"

Amidst their anger, the report that had Fade's photo on it was torn to pieces by Lyla and Henderson.

At the same time, Abell's father, Harib Liu, who was the head of the Stealth Team in South Bay City, was still awake.

As the director of the Stealth Team in South Bay City, Harib was definitely one of the top elites in South Bay City. He had received the invitation from the Soo family to join the annual banquet the next day too. However, Harib was a little absent-minded about the annual banquet.

After all, his son, Abell had not returned from Jade City yet, and he didn't know what happened to Abell.

While Harib was still depressed, his wife received a phone call. After talking on the phone aggravatedly, she walked out of the room as she replied, "I know what I should do tomorrow, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, she came over to Harib's side. He glanced at her and asked casually, "Who were you talking to? What happened?"
