"Can't be... It's impossible!" Beatrice Knight exclaimed with a fierce expression.
"This news must be fake. There's no way she could be the heroine tonight!"
"How... how could it be her?" Robert Knight also had an incredulous look on his face as he stared at the screen. It wasn't until now that he finally understood why Billy's words could prevent their entire family from entering the restricted area. In shock, a feeling of fear rose in his heart. Robert Knight wasn't stupid. He knew that the person who organized such an event couldn't be anyone without connections. At this moment, he realized Billy must be some kind of big shot.
Ironically enough, they had been planning on settling accounts with Billy for what happened before. Now an unassailable truth persisted: to Billy, they were naught but inconsequential insects.
After exhaling a deep breath, Robert Knight quickly got up and headed towards his father's villa.
With someone like Billy around, their family had to hold onto his coattails tightly. It had always been their dream to do so.
After proposing to Harleen, Billy finally felt relieved. On the third day after the proposal, Billy and Harleen officially obtained their marriage certificate. From then on, they were truly a family. In the following days, everyone was busy with moving tasks. The new villa was already fully prepared for them to move in. It was worth mentioning that Casey bought another villa next to their building and moved in himself while leaving one bedroom for Judge.
On this day, after finishing all the moving tasks, Billy's and Harleen's family and Casey had their first dinner in their new home. Fletcher Knight and his wife were exceptionally happy, having started preparing for dinner since afternoon. They made a large table of dishes and even bought several bottles of expensive red wine.
During dinner, Sharon kept serving food to Billy as if he were her own son, which made Billy feel a bit overwhelmed. And there was no lack of care for Casey, who hadn't felt cared by family for long. Within less than two hours, three men finished five bottles of red wine. Fletcher was already drunk but still insisted on opening two more bottles of wine before Sharon gave him a stern look that made him stop.
After dinner, everyone continued chatting until Casey said goodbye and returned home. After finishing kitchen duties, the grandparents helped Tasha wash up before taking her back to rest in the bedroom. The little girl initially wanted to sleep with her dad but eventually agreed to sleep with her grandma under Sharon's and Felicia's persuasion.
"Billy, Harleen, it's getting late. You should rest early and have a pleasant evening!" After washing up, Felicia said with a meaningful expression on her face.
"Felicia, what's your problem?" Harleen scolded her sister with a blush on her face.
"A moment alone is worth thousands in gold! I won't disturb you guys anymore so hurry up and get ready!" Felicia stuck out her tongue before turning around towards her room. As she reached the door she turned back around with another smile and said, "Try not to make any big movements, although the soundproofing in this villa is good, if it's too loud, it will still disturb Tasha. If you wake her up and disturb your fun later on, don't blame us!"
"Felicia, shut up!" The blush on Harleen's face deepened by another shade.
"Goodnight!" Felicia grimaced at Harleen before entering the room and closing the door.
"Harleen, why don't you go wash up first?" Billy smiled at Harleen.
"Okay." Harleen nodded shyly with her face turning red.
At ten o'clock that night, Billy finished washing up and entered the bedroom. He saw that Harleen was wearing silk pajamas half-leaning against the headboard of the bed while flipping through a magazine absentmindedly. Although she appeared calm on the surface, inside she was nervous.
Although they had already been intimate before, that happened by accident. Before that, she hadn't even had a boyfriend yet let alone any intimate contact with men. Harleen was no different than being an inexperienced young girl. Now sharing a bed with Billy made her nervous but also slightly excited.
