The Sullivans ran restaurants, and the Holts specialized in transportation. In the interstellar era, fresh fruits and vegetables were very rare.
However, the Holts had connections to help the Sullivans obtain a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the Sullivans were one of their biggest customers.So, it was a mutually beneficial relationship.
The relationship between the two families had been very close for so many years because of this.
Nonetheless, there was now a rift between the two close families because of the planned wedding between the younger generations.
Valerie thought about it and finally picked up Isaac’s call.
The moment the call was connected, Isaac questioned her huffily, “Val, why did you marry someone else?”
Valerie laughed. “Isaac, if I don’t find someone else to marry, I’ll be married to a random man. You stood me up, so what right do you have to question me?”
Isaac seemed to be going through a lot of emotions. After a while, he repressed what he was feeling and said, “It was a great dilemma. I couldn’t stand idly by while someone was in danger. Forget it, it’s my fault that I didn’t come back in time. Val, divorce that man. I won’t hold it against you.”
Valerie was flabbergasted.
The nerve of this man!
Valerie asked, “Why don’t you ask if I’ll hold it against you?”
Isaac was puzzled. He thought that they were always on good terms, so he said matter-of-factly, “Yesterday, you asked that guy to help you at the last second, right?”
Valerie did not answer him. She could not possibly reveal Jonny’s identity.
She asked about something else. “Where’s Madeline?”
“Maddy came back to the Third District with me this morning. Val, I’ll come to you now. I’ll go with you to get a divorce with that man, and then we’ll get married.”
“Married, my foot! If you want to get married, go to Madeline! Right, didn’t you call to discuss my family’s restaurant? Since you’re not talking about that, I’m hanging up!”
Valerie ended the call instantly.
She had thought that Isaac and Madeline must be sneaking around together. If they were truly in love, she would sincerely wish them well.
After all, a b*stard and a b*tch would make a good match.
However, who would have thought that Isaac would still pester her so nauseatingly?!
At this moment, her SmartBit beeped again and started ringing.
Valerie was furious. She started scolding the moment she picked it up. “Isaac, how shameless are you? You stood me up because of Madeline, then now you’re running back to marry me. What do you mean by that? What, you want to have your cake and eat it too by marrying both of us sisters?”
“Who wants to have their cake and eat it too?”
When Valerie heard the cool, low voice on the other end of the SmartBit, she froze!
This voice was familiar but also foreign at the same time!
She swiftly glanced at her SmartBit. The name that was displayed: Jonathan Gunn?
Valerie, “!!!!!!!!”
“Valerie?”
“Present!” Her response was a conditioned reflex, and she regretted it after she said it.
Still, to put it another way, she had done something even more regrettable with Jonathan.
A silly response was nothing in comparison.
Oh well, she was done for anyway…
On the other end of the call, Jonathan was silent. Was he deep in thought, or just taken aback by Valerie’s response?

Valerie bit the bullet and said directly, “Commander Gunn, I’m sorry. I was in a hurry to find someone to marry last night, so I did all those things. If you’re not happy, we can get a divorce immediately. I can also compensate you. As for your manic-depressive period…”
“Beep beep beep beep.”
Valerie, “…”
Her SmartBit’s intelligence, Snowy, said dutifully, “Master, Sir has already hung up.”
Valerie’s face was blank.. “I know! Also, why in the world are you calling him ‘Sir’?”
