Hailee once again struck the entire world with her latest post on Instagram, which every social media platform and TV station reported Hailee's proposal to her newlywed husband, Vincent Shen.
”They were just on a honeymoon, but the couple was thinking of getting married again!”
An entertainment anchorwoman reported on the national morning news TV the very next day.

Davies Mansion, Sydney, Australia
Jacob had a huge grin on his mouth while browsing his phone and reading the articles he found online.
It came to his mind how his daughter lived a low-key profile life and hid from the media all the time. However, recently, his daughter loved to drop bombs on the world.
He thought Hailee had already been bold when she started stalking Vincent Shen and signed a Mistress Agreement with him.
Yes. The world will learn about this soon after the release of the documentary.
It really shocked him to watch these two answering Jessa's question. Before they spoke up, a meaningful smile appeared on the couple's faces when they shared how everything had started.
And it all began on a piece of paper.
Vincent offered a contract to Hailee to pretend to be his mistress. And since Hailee wanted to know more about Vincent, she accepted it without knowing she would fall hard for him.
Now his daughter made her own proposal to Vincent, even they were already married.
At the long table, the Shen and Hillson family were also present. They were having a family gathering, discussing the surprise they prepared for Hailee with Vincent's help in secret.
”It was Hailee who proposed this time. Are they eyeing to renew vows back in P Country?” Sheena wondered.
”No. Hailee planned a private wedding, just the two of them at Hiryuu Island,” Gigi explained, recalling the last time Hailee burst out crying as she started feeling conscious of her appearance. She was thinking that she would not look sexy in her wedding photos.
”Oh. Why Hiryuu Island?” asked Deana.
Meanwhile, Jacob and Fred shared a glance and smiled as they both knew what the couple was trying to do.
”When are they arriving?” Hilda didn't hide her worries for Hailee, thinking she was still having morning sickness and if Vincent dealt adequately with his wife's mood swings. Also, if she ate healthy food, cravings are hard to control during pregnancy. Hilda hopes his son will watch his wife's diet.
”Mom, don't be so in a hurry. Let brother and Hailee enjoy their honeymoon,” said Deana.
”I know. I just thought….”
”Hailee had her doctors, and so we have nothing to worry about.” Sheena chimed in, cutting her mom's sentence.
”Even so…”
”They are adults, mom.” Deana and Sheena said at once.
Hilda twitched her mouth, glaring at her daughters. She tried to explain why she was anxious, but her two daughters have become the duo to contradict whatever is in her mind. It always has to be them who would react in everything she wanted to do.
Hilda fretted inwardly when she heard Fred chuckle. Instantly, she glared at her husband, sitting next to her.
”What?” she snaps at him in a low voice, trying not to attract attention.
Fred shook his head and whispered to Hilda, ”you have nothing to be shocked about. Your daughters inherited your stubbornness.”
'Frederick Shen!' Hilda sneered at Fred inside her head as she could not display her temperament in front of Vincent's in-laws.
Although she could see how Jacob and Fred were getting along well, she didn't want Jacob to have a poor impression of Vincent's family.
”Alright. You girls better come with me. We have to buy all the things the babies would need.”
”Mom, let Hailee and brother enjoy shopping for their babies,” Sheena told her mon, to which Deana nodded, supporting her younger sister's statement.
Hilda shrunk her pupils, glaring at her two daughters. They really won't stop contradicting her plans, although they were right. But she wanted her daughters to stop embarrassing her in front of the Davies and Hillson family.
”Mom, you've already done an excellent job so far. I know Hailee wants you to relax and have a break after the stressful months preparing for the wedding. Then, you have to deal with Eva's death issues that are thrown at us.”
”That's right, mom. You have nothing to worry about. We're sure that Hailee would love our wedding gift for them.”
Hilda has rendered her silence for a moment. She looked at her two daughters as she contemplated... She had forgotten that they were mothers now as well.
It's been a while since she shunned Deana and Sheena because they went against her arrangement for their life. Now they are all through the past and starting anew.
”Eva's name will be a taboo to mention from now on.” Afterward, said Hilda to her daughters.
”Yes, mom.” Sheena and Deana instantly nodded their heads. They also don't want to remember Eva as she is insignificant in their life.
”Alright. Don't you girls have to prepare to go back to Metro City? The company needed your attention.” Hilda urged her daughters to start packing up.
”Note, Chairman Shen!”
The sisters were in the mood to tease their mom, causing Hilda's eyeballs to jump out from their sockets. Even though after settling down, they were still naughty.
'These daughters of mine!' She should have known already.

The following day, Hailee's yacht anchored nearby at Davies Private Club.
The media heard about their arrival on that day. So, they have already crowded outside the said club since last night.
”They're here!” The reporters immediately take out their cameras.
”News live at Davies Bay Club. We caught a glimpse of Queen Marilyn's yacht owned by Princess Hailee that, as we have known, had a new title now as Mrs. Shen.”

Somewhere in a nearby building... Several snipers are on standby.
”Everyone in position….”
”Copy that…”
