Marlon listened, and suddenly his eyes lit up. But then he thought, if he accepted Zayden’s proposal now, and couldn’t marry her, and so quickly thinking about marrying his daughter into the Hale family, wouldn’t it seem like Katrina was unwanted?
So, he just smiled and politely declined, “I appreciate Mr. Knighton’s kindness, but as for marrying into the Hale family, it really depends on Katrina’s own willingness. If she’s not interested, there’s nothing I can do.”
Zayden didn’t miss the flash of light that just passed in front of his
eyes.
But a lot of things, you just gotta keep it to yourself.
He also smiled, didn’t chat with Marlon and Antwan, and just said, “Sir Powell and Mr. Powell, goodbye, no need to see you off.”

The next morning, Zayden flew directly from Beachbourne to Dracvale.
As skydivers, Merlin and Zayden naturally had their own private planes for maximum convenience and time–saving.
However, Zayden didn’t expect that Katrina was so determined. Despite his repeated rejections and clear attitude, she still didn’t give up and wasted her time on him.
Because at the airport, he ran into Katrina again.

Katrina also wanted to fly to Dracvale.
“Mr. Knighton, I heard you always travel by private plane. This time I was in a hurry to go to Dracvale and couldn’t get a first class ticket, only managed to get an economy class one. Can you do me a favor and take me to Dracvale?”
Katrina grinned and asked Zayden, all those awkward moments from before, it’s like they never happened.
“Sorry.”
Zayden furrowed his brow and flat out refused, “I ain’t interested in seeing Ms. Powell.”
Katrina heard that, and she wasn’t really surprised.
After all, top investors like Zayden have the right to say no to her.
She didn’t give up, stopped Zayden who was about to leave and said, “Mr. Knighton, come with me, you might have a pleasant surprise, you know?”
“Not interested.”
This time, Zayden gave Ms. Powell a cold look and said, “Ms. Powell, I’ll say it again, I’m not interested in you.”
With that, he walked straight past Katrina, taking big strides.
Katrina stood there, fuming, her face almost contorted.
From childhood to adulthood, she was always pampered and adored by everyone. A man like Zayden, who rejected her so decisively, was the first.
And she felt like Zayden naturally didn’t like her.

But they had never met before, let alone had any interaction.
So, why did Zayden’s dislike or even disgust towards her come from?
Since Zayden had no hope here, Heriberto couldn’t just give up either.
She didn’t fly directly to Dracvale again, but flew to Oswalon instead, meeting up with Heriberto first under the pretext of discussing business.
Just then, Heriberto was going to Dracvale, so Katrina went along with him.
I didn’t expect they stayed at the same hotel as Zayden.
Heriberto naturally booked the presidential suite at the hotel in advance, but Katrina didn’t book in advance.
When she got to the hotel and wanted to book the presidential suite alone, she was told that the hotel’s presidential suite was already fully booked.
Katrina made a surprised face, “It’s fully booked! It’s all my fault for not booking in advance. It rarely got fully booked before.”
Heriberto checked in without saying a word.
