He needed to hurry up and adjourn the meeting because he still had to chase after his daughter-in-law. He worried that if he was too late, she might leave with her luggage…

At this moment, in Edward’s mind, all he could think of was the image of Kiara, dragging her suitcase away, coupled with her indifferent expression. She would never sweetly call him “Husband” or “Camden” again… Not to mention these pet names; he even doubted she would call out ‘Edward Wheeler’ in anger anymore.

Just thinking about it was heartbreaking.

Edward was maintaining a deeply aggrieved low pressure, and the person hosting the meeting was so chilled by his coldness that he broke out in a cold sweat, smiling apologetically as he explained.

“This is a directive from above, initially communicated verbally; the formal written document will take a little longer to arrive, but they asked us to comply in the meantime.”

“Verbal directives don’t count. Get the higher-ups to issue a formal document! You’re pushing useless people onto me all day long. What ‘external support’? Our Workplace Organisation is teeming with talent, do we need external support?”

“Listening to you, it seems you have a lot of complaints about me,” a woman’s voice that didn’t belong to this meeting room sounded from the doorway.

Camden, who was in the heat of anger, replied without any politeness.

“Do I know you– who?!”

Huh, were his eyes deceiving him?

Edward was afraid he might be seeing wrong and stared, unblinking, at the woman at the doorway.

The woman who followed everyone in looked so much like his daughter-in-law who was angry with him and considering “taking off with her bag”…

But no, shouldn’t his daughter-in-law be in Q City right now? And she should be furious, so why would she suddenly appear here?

All of Edward’s IQ over 150 was offline at this moment, leaving his brain completely blank.

All he could do was watch the woman who looked so much like his daughter-in-law, whose voice also sounded like hers, and even her way of walking was so similar, as she walked to the front of the conference table, just a meter away from him.

He could even smell her distinctive fragrance; it was undeniably his daughter-in-law!

As soon as Kiara walked in, she saw her foolish husband.

The moment she saw him, she regretted it. Edward’s state was too frightening; it was clear he was agitated. She regretted that maybe her joke had gone a bit too far–she hoped she hadn’t given him a heatstroke in this scorching weather.

The room was filled with officers from various divisions of the City responsible for making arrests, and from other City branches crossing provincial lines to participate in the operation, all wearing different clothes. His dark face of resentment was hard for anyone to ignore.

Kiara had just been messing around on a whim, but now she regretted seeing him so worked up. Standing next to him, she intended to wait for the person who brought her to finish introducing her before sneakily whispering that she wasn’t really mad at him, just to ease his mind.

But before Kiara could take the sneaky route, someone else made a high-profile declaration.

“This is Dr. Emma Clark, who has just won the national psychology career competition. She will act as our external support for this operation, responsible for the psychological research aspects concerning the suspect. She is also–”

The introducer hadn’t finished before an impatient man sprang up, completely disregarding the occasion, his eyes filled with his wife who might take off at any moment.

“Daughter-in-law! Am I hallucinating?”

He embraced her tightly, not letting her escape!

The conference room fell deathly silent. What, what, what is this situation?

Kiara rolled her eyes, feeling her face grow hot, and inwardly scolded herself.

Deserved, absolutely deserved!

Making trouble for no reason, scaring people for fun! See, karma caught up with you, didn’t it?

Look what you’ve done to poor Arua, scared out of his wits, abandoning all reason and hugging you in front of all these people!

Kiara gently patted Edward ‘Bright Clarity’ Wheeler’s back to calm his runaway emotions while using her peripheral vision to scan the conference room. Judging from the seating order, she deduced that her man must be quite influential here and felt somewhat relieved.

Phew, it’s a good thing an even bigger boss didn’t show up; otherwise, wouldn’t this be embarrassing in front of the leader!

“Alright, alright, I was just joking with you, it’s all good now, let’s focus on the meeting, we’ll talk later,” Kiara tried to pull Camden’s emotions back to the present, but Camden had already scared himself for a good while, his head filled with the terrifying thought of his daughter-in-law leaving him. Not a single word managed to bring back his IQ.

“No, you have to promise, promise me you won’t divorce me! Not leaving home! Promise me that first, then I’ll let go. You can punish me however you’d like, but you can’t leave!”

Kiara felt like thunder was rolling in her heart, and this time, she didn’t even need the corner of her eye to feel everyone in the conference room aiming their gossip-thirsty gazes at them. She sighed silently to herself.

Husband, it’s not that your wife doesn’t want to let you save face, but this life-threateningly foolish behavior of yours is really…

With things having reached this point, Kiara had no other choice. If she didn’t stabilize this guy’s emotions, who knew what idiotic thing he might do next. She didn’t want their comedic story to spread here. He might have thick skin, but she wasn’t about to indulge him.

“I promise, can you let go of me now?”

“You really won’t run away?” he loosened his grip just a bit but still asked anxiously.

Kiara rolled her eyes, “I promise I won’t run, okay?”

This scene was just too good to miss.

Everyone watched with great interest.

The capture operation had everyone on edge, and suddenly this skit provided a moment of great relief and pleasure, especially seeing the usually undefeated and cold Vice President Yuno showing such a contrastingly cute side, it was absolutely worthwhile!

People were even whispering among themselves.

“Looking at him now, all that talk about Old Yu Moore’s status at home must’ve been just boasting, right?” someone asked stealthily.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” answered the person asked, with a look of righteousness, then added in a low voice, “We can discuss this matter in-depth in private.”

What’s there even to discuss? Reality speaks louder than words!

Someone always boasts about his status and how lovey-dovey he is with his wife, how they’re movingly in love, making heaven and earth emotional and whatnot. But now, the reality of his family status is clear for all to see, it’s self-evident!

Almost everyone couldn’t help but think of one big word.

Why do cows fly in the sky?

Because Our Home’s Vice President Yuno is blowing hot air down here!

Having received Kiara’s promise, Mario Yuno finally relaxed a little, and his rationality began to return. Facing everyone’s teasing and gossipy looks, he pretended as if nothing had happened and coolly returned to his seat. The expression, the demeanor, the aura, truly befitted his moniker, the God of War.

But everyone’s eyes were sharp; they all saw cool Vice President Yuno secretly holding onto Dr. Clark’s hand tightly, thinking no one would notice under the table. But those in attendance had the eyes of eagles, able to catch bad guys, let alone someone openly holding a beautiful woman’s hand.

Tsk tsk, how worried he must be about Dr. Clark running off on him? For someone with status, is he really so insecure?
