A few days later, Quincy returned with some information about Ian. However, when he
handed Nolan a copy of the information, he frowned when he saw the name on it.
[Ian Saldana]
As he flipped through the document, he said, “This name rings a bell.”
“Of course. He was the boss of Glitz,” replied Quincy.
Nolan did not say anything.
Meanwhile, Edward was equally surprised when he found out Ian’s identity.
He had his secretary go confirm Ian's identity at the ministry.

names when he went on missions.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe would have been the deputy director by now if he had not resigned.
Just when Edward was immersed in his thoughts, someone knocked on the door. He placed the document down and
said, “Come in.”
The one who came in was one of his employees. He stood at the door and said, “Mr. Xavier, Mr. Saldana is here.”
Ian and Edward talked for half an hour in the office. When the conversation was over, Edward politely walked him to
the elevator.
“Ian, find a time and have Elaine bring you to our home for a meal.”
Ian stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Edward, and smiled. “I’m free at all times.”
At that moment, the door to the elevator opened up, and Elaine was standing inside it. she wanted to ask her father
about something, but she did not expect Ian was there as well.
Edward looked at her and smiled. “Elaine, right on time. I’ve told Ian to have you bring him back for a meal one
day.”
She looked at Ian and came out of the elevator.
“It’s done?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
Ian smiled but did not say anything in return.
“What do you mean by it’s done?” Edward frowned. “ Didn't you like him very much and want me to agree to your
marriage? So, I said yes now.”
Since his daughter wanted to get married, he had to say yes to it.
Elaine was shocked, “since when did I— ”
“Let’s announce our engagement in these two days.” Ian interrupted her with a smile on his face. He then turned
his head around to look at Edward. “What do you think?”
Without waiting for Elaine to say anything, Edward thought for a moment and replied, “Sure. Let’s do that.”
Elaine seemed to have been excluded from their conversation, she wanted to say
something, but neither of them gave her a chance.
After Edward finished speaking, he returned to his office.
Elaine chased after Ian into the elevator and asked, " What did you say to my father?"
Edward thought that she wanted to have a marriage of convenience with Ian because
she wanted to marry him. Therefore, she wanted to know what Ian had told her father
and caused him to misunderstand her.
‘He even said I like him!?’
Standing in the elevator, Ian pressed the floor button and replied, “Your father has
agreed to our marriage. Isn't that what matters the most?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was stumped. “Yes, I’m very happy about that, but we’re just having a marriage of
convenience. I want to know what you told my father. ”
She couldn’t convince her father because they were just having a marriage of
convenience. Since Edward had agreed, it meant Ian had agreed to give her father
some benefits,, which was what she also wanted.
However, from what her father said just now, it seemed to her that he was not aware
of her intention at all and purely thought that she wanted to get married.
Ian looked at her and smiled, “Do you think your father would say yes if I didn’t tell him
that?”
After that, the smile faded from his face as he added. “ Rest assured. I know we’re just
having a marriage of convenience, not a real one.”
Elaine’s engagement soon spread over the city. Many people congratulated Edward for
the two good things that happened to his family when they met him. First, his
stepdaughter had started a relationship with Nolan's cousin-in-law, and now his
daughter was getting married. It was a double celebration.
