Elaine followed the man into the room.

There were only five people, and Juan sat in the middle.

The man next to him was pouring him a glass of wine.

"Mr.Saldana, she's here."

The person next to him asked her to take a seat, so she walked over and sat down as a courtesy.

"How may I help you, Mr.Saldana?"

Juan poured her a glass.

"Are you close with lan?"

She replied, "I know him, but we're not close."

He chuckled.

"How well do you know him?"

Elaine casually replied, "I know that he's your son out of wedlock."

Mr.Saldana's expression froze.

"If he told you that, you must be special to him."

He handed the wine glass to her, and she took it out of courtesy.

At that moment, the door of the room opened.

The man standing outside looked at Elaine, who was sitting next to Juan.

"Why are you here?"

She wanted to say that his father had invited her, but Juan laughed before she could.

"I heard you're quite close with this lady, so I wanted to meet her."

lan walked to the table, picked up the wine bottle, and poured himself a glass.

"I haven't had a drink with my father before."

He filled the glass and took a drink first.

Juan filled up his own and then said, "Are you showing me courtesy because of this lady?"

Elaine was surprised because she didn't know what this had to do with her, but she kept her eyes on lan. lan calmly poured himself another drink.

"I wanted to introduce your future daughter-in-law to you, but you invited her in before that."

Elaine was stunned for a few seconds.

'Future daughter-in-law?'

She didn't remember confirming their marriage of convenience.

Juan frowned.

"You're getting married?"

lan held the empty wine glass and smiled.

"Aren't you happy that I'm getting married?"

Juan looked at him.

lan was just an illegitimate son to him, and all he could do was be his scapegoat. It didn't matter who he got married to.

Since the family business wouldn't go to him, Juan didn't need lan's marriage to bring in more benefits.

He laughed.

"Of course, I'm glad that you're getting married."

He got up and asked someone to fill their glasses for a toast.

"lan, if you're getting married, come back and live with us. I'll help you plan your wedding."

lan smiled, but his expression was hard to read.

"Thank you, Father."

After staying there for a while more, lan brought Elaine away, and Juan didn't stop him.

Once they left, the bodyguard asked Juan, "Do you want me to look into that woman?" "Why?"

Juan stared at him and smirked.

"He's just an illegitimate child. No socialite would be interested in him."

He had looked into lan's past. He had a small business at the market and also worked with the mob.

They were jobs that people weren't proud of. The women that he dated were people Juan would never take a second glance at.

This woman he was going to marry seemed to be different from the others, but it seemed like another woman trying to marry into a rich family.

Why else would she know who he was? The street lights lit up the car as lan was driving Elaine back.

His hands were on the steering wheel while he looked forward.

"You just went with him because he invited you in?"
