Chapter 3 Chapter 3

Harrison was Dennis' childhood friend. He was probably the only one in City A who dared to speak ill of Dennis so fearlessly. What?! "I'm not pregnant," hissed Emmie. Dennis gnashed his teeth. "You have two seconds. Return that to her, and get lost." Harrison swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Under Dennis' threatening gaze, he handed over the paper to Emmie with both hands. Yet, he still refused to give up. He asked, "Are you two really married? Or is it a cold day in hell today?" "If this is leaked out, I will make sure Mr. Wilkinson finds you a wife in three days," warned Dennis. "Y-y-you are so cruel!" What an as*hole Dennis was! Harrison would rather jump off a building than get married.  Harrison came to Emmie's side and whispered, "So you will be Mrs. Scott from now on. Hi, I am Harrison Wilkinson. What's your name?" "Harrison? Harry Potter?" Emmie mused.  "Right on the spot. But, please call me Harrison. I don't really like being associated with some sort of wizard." She was exactly the same as Dennis. Dennis had been calling him 'Harry Potter' for a good two years when the movie was released. "What are you waiting for? Get in the car!" shouted Dennis. "Oh, that's right." When Emmie got in the car, he heard Harrison cursing from outside, "D*mn you, are you going to just leave me here? How could you forget your good friends now that you have found yourself a wife? You should at least give me a ride!"  When she got in the car, she saw Dennis throw the marriage certificate into the back of the car. Suddenly, the paper in her hand felt extraordinarily heavy. She instantly pocketed it in her bag. Soon, they reached a luxury villa area. Emmie followed Dennis into one of the houses, and a woman dressed in an office suit was already waiting at the door. "Mr. Scott, this is the agreement you have asked for." After entering the house, Dennis put the agreement in front of her. "Sign it." Emmie picked it up. It was a prenuptial agreement. She browsed through it quickly. She had to say that she was much relieved when she found out the content of the agreement. He signed his own name on the agreement without hesitation. "Let's not take risks. I think I have the obligation to make it clear to you that our marriage will only last for three years. After that, we will have nothing to do with each other. But, in these three years, you must abide by the agreement." "Sure," answered Emmie right away.  He was quite surprised at Emmie's reaction.  "This house is under my name. You can live here to make my grandfather feel less suspicious about us. But, you are not allowed to enter my study and bedroom." Although they were now married, Emmie knew that she was at most a tenant here. His request was only reasonable. Moreover, she didn't have much spare time to explore his personal life, either. "No problem." "This bank card has enough money for you to live your life carefreely. Well, as long as you're not going to buy an aircraft or something like that, you can use it as you like." Dennis chucked her a golden bank card. Emmie replied credulously, "Why would I want an aircraft? Besides, that's not even something money can buy."  Dennis squinted his eyes. Did she not understand his sarcasm? Or was she playing innocent in front of him? "No one asks you to buy it!" "Didn't you–" "Enough," he interjected, realizing that Emmie was such a strange lady. "A family gathering will be held on the 28th of each month. You must show up even if I'm not present." Emmie whispered, "This is ridiculous." But for the sake of money, she had to accept it. "What did you say?" "No, please continue." "Most importantly, we don't have to sleep together. Even though you're now my wife, don't you ever think that you can poke your nose into my private life." Emmie was never a greedy person. She would never go after things that did not belong to her.  The marriage between her and Dennis was just a joke. She didn't know why he married her, but she knew well the reason she did so. Three years... she only needed to use three years of her life to save the life of another person she cared about the most. It was a good deal.
