When she said that, Jagoan suddenly remembered something and asked a tentatively, “That was in the past. Will it still be that way after tonight?”
Elibetha knew that Jagoan was talking about her wedding so she hurriedly explained, “Don’t you doubt it, our friendship will never be up for debate whether I get married or not!”
“You can’t be like that, right? You’re going to be married, so you still have to take it easy. Or, are the rumors about your relationship true?”
As a member of the South American Maynard Family, Jagoan knew about the speculations that this was a political marriage.
Elibetha fell silent for a moment before nodding. “You’re right, things are exactly as people think.”
“Warwick’s childhood sweetheart girlfriend died in a helicopter crash three years ago. Although he has treated me well so far, I can’t help but feel resentment between the both of us…”
“I know that there’s nothing I can do to stop it, so it’s better to not think about it and just accept it.”
Jagoan was able to get a glimpse of the truth behind the wedding through Elibetha’s heartfelt words.
At this point, Elibetha fell silent again.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing, and even Jagoan did not know how to break the silence.
At that moment, a roaring engine sounded from outside the window.
Jagoan opened the window and heard the wild laughter of a group of young people. Although it was quite a nuisance, the passionate look of those youngsters touched Elibetha’s heart.
“By the way, since you’re getting married tomorrow, will there be a bachelorette party tonight?”
After Jagoan’s reminder, Elibetha, who had her hopes up for a moment, shook her head. “I can’t, you know why they made me stay here. The bodyguards outside aren’t protecting me, they’re watching me… So much for a bachelorette party. I guess I can only enjoy it in my next life!”
Elibetha clearly wanted a bachelorette party, but her circumstances did not allow it.
Jagoan looked at Elibetha’s back and felt pity for her. It turned out that the happiness she showed her today was just a forced smile.
“If you really want to go, I can help!” Jagoan said.
“Really? How are we going to get out?” Elibetha asked.
“Just say yes or no! There’s always a way!”
Elibetha gave it some thought and finally nodded her head.
Jagoan started acting immediately and asked Elibetha to help her tear the sheets into ropes.
“There’s a platform downstairs, so I’ll just ask the bodyguards to meet us there… Are you ready?”
Elibetha looked out the window and felt the breeze before nodding again.
The duo and their bodyguards worked together and finally escaped the cage-like hotel room. Then, Jagoan brought Elibetha to a bar.

Meanwhile, Jagoan was meeting a mysterious man at a bar too.
“You’re Ms. Jagoan? Why did you choose to meet at a place like this?” Kimbra was shocked to see the beautiful woman standing in front of him.
He had always interacted with Jagoan over the phone, but he thought that she was a middle-aged woman because of her sarcastic tone. It was their first encounter today, and he did not expect that this Miss Jagoan to be a young woman.
Jagoan was aware that Kimbra was checking her out, and she was secretly glad.
“What’s wrong with this place? Do you have a problem with bars?”
