A Handsome Kinky Gangster Reporter

Mrs. Ferronel had to approve Haley’s plan, but she didn’t want to be so blatant about her appearance. Mrs. Ferronel simply sent the boutique staff to the bride’s waiting room. It would be troublesome to make excuses to Baron Stephen, who would likely complain later. This was a matter directly related to his reputation afterall.

This wedding had become a hot topic among the nobles lately, and Ferronel couldn’t believe that she was the designer who made such an outdated dress. Just thinking about it, it was as if she could hear the sound of her reputation falling to the floor. They had already agreed in advance to say that Haley was the sole perpetrator of the crime.

“In that case, I’ll see you at the wedding ceremony.”

Haley took the camera and left the waiting room while Gloria changed her clothes. Outside the door stood two men hired by the old groom. So Baron Stephen was the type of man who put suspicion towards his bride. He was worried that his young bride would change her mind and run away, so he left these two men to watch her today.

‘Oh my. For real. It’s a shame that my friend would get married to such an old man.’

Haley bowed slightly to them.

“Thank you for your hard work. Please take care of the bride well today.”

“Oh, yes…”

The men, who were staring absentmindedly at Haley, immediately regained their senses back and straightened their bodies. Her red hair, which must have looked quite peculiar, had a smell of rose. Haley blinked her eyes beautifully and offered a sweet smile before walked away from them.

The two men instantly fell for her green eyes and seemed unable to calm their quivering hearts.

“Wow, I understand why Emperor Royan almost had this country in ruins because of red hair. I thought that the legendary red witch had returned.”

“She’s not married yet, is she? Should I try to hit on her after this?”

“Would such a woman comply to you?”

“What do you mean, man?”

They can’t eat the grapes because it tastes sour.

As if a fox’s heart in the fairy tale. The men immediately talk about how lewd red-haired women are and how brilliant their skills in bed to kill men.

Too thick.

While chatting with each other for quite a while, I could hear the sound of someone gritting their teeth nearby. The men stopped chatting and turned their heads to the side because of the seemingly miserable life. Then why was a young black-haired man staring at them.

‘What? What’s wrong with him?’

‘I don’t know. Do you know him?’

The man approached the guards and whispered in a low voice.

“Don’t you dare make fun of her. You don’t want to lose your tongue, do you?”

The man who spoke in an intimidating manner was dressed in a uniform with the crest of the Duke of Lischer in the sleeve. That indicated that he must be a high-ranking noble. The people who sensed the difference in status with the man immediately bowed their heads and shut up.

Meanwhile, Haley had set up a camera outside on the path leading to the entrance of the temple. A darkroom carriage was parked right next to it, and after the wedding, she was trying to make up an excuse to take a photo of the bride and groom with the temple in the background.

In the distance, Baron Douglas Stephen seemed to greet the guests with a bright smile.

“Oh, man! Congratulations. The bride you got this time is as beautiful as ever. I heard she’s the prettiest girl around.”

“Hahaha. The person I met is indeed beautiful. However, she can’t certainly be compared to Julie, my first love.”

“Ah, what are you talking about? She seems much younger and more innocent than Julie Innis. To be honest, didn’t Julie leave you for money?”

Hearing this, the Baron became enraged. He never allowed anyone to talk bad about his now-deceased first love.

“What are you talking about?! How dare you compare Julie to that woman?!”

In Baron Stephen’s memory, Julie Innis had been imprinted as a saint. To him, Gloria, who was forced to marry him for money, only felt like a worldly figure. Even if the debt was made by his father.

“Uhuk! I’m sorry, brother.”

Rudrick coughed and tried to change the subject. There was nothing more effective than praising the Baron’s ways, which made him feel better.

“Wow, as you always said, if a man has the ability, pretty girls won’t be out of your grasp. Since you are a baron now, you can marry such a woman. I really envy you.”

The baron’s anger diminished at Rudrick’s praise and showed a grin. However, today was a great day for him. Should the groom feel flustered? The baron patted Rudrick on the shoulder.

“You will make money by working hard, just like me. Then, did you know? The person who would stay by your side will be a younger and more beautiful girl.”

Mrs. Rudrick frowned when she heard that. Rudrick and his wife were also more than 10 years apart in age. Yet the story of a woman younger than that came out of Baron Stephen’s mouth. Rudrick’s wife pinched her husband’s side harshly and urged him to enter the marriage ceremony hall quickly.

“Ukh-! Ha, the temperament of this woman. Come in first! I still have to talk about something to him.”

She looked at her husband as if she wanted to kill him and muttered, “Just do something useless by yourself. I’ll leave you alone today,” she muttered.

Rudrick waited until his wife disappeared. Then, as he pretended to look around for a while, he took out a small, finger-sized blue-colored medicine bottle from his pocket. He handed the medicine bottle to Baron Stephen. The Baron tried to conceal his dangerous inner thoughts even though he felt somewhat delightful by the sight of the pill.

“Ha! This guy. Even when I say I don’t need this anymore.”

Rudrick was dumbfounded by the Baron’s rejection, but he didn’t show it. He had done  a lot  of things to obtain the medicine. He asked for and got the medicine which was hard to get and required extra money. He was the one who suffered when trying to get this.

“Hyung, it was really hard for me to get it. This is an energizer that a competent witch personally made 200 years ago before she died. I paid for the amount of about three bottles to buy this, because these are the only ones left.”

Baron Stephen stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

“Alright, alright. Thank you. I will make up for your hard work separately later.”

“Oh, I would appreciate it if you could. I’m honored to be able to work with you for such a long time, Hyung.”

The Baron narrowed his eyes and stared at the bottle Rudrick had given him. Then, he raised one of his eyebrows. There seemed to be something ominous inside. When he expressed his gratitude, the baron changed his words like flipping his palm in a blink of an eye.

“But isn’t it just a bit? Didn’t you get the other two bottles? You said you bought the remaining three bottles at once.”

Rudrick knew that the baron would say that. Rudrick sensed cold sweat running down his spine and said what the baron wanted to hear.

“Uh…. Haha. I’ll do my best to find them. It’s only one drop, but the effect is amazing. Didn’t I do a good job, Hyung? Have fun as newlyweds tonight.”

“Oh, well I get it. Eat a lot before you’re at it.”

“Right, hyung. Congratulations once again.”

“Such a greedy old man,” Rudrick said as he turned around. 

Of course, his voice was so low that Baron Stephen, who had poor hearing, could not hear him.

As Haley watched the scene, she smiled and shook her head vigorously. 

‘I’ve captured all these scenes with the camera.’

The photos taken with the camera will be featured in the “Golden Wild Goose Daily” as an editorial tomorrow or two days after.

It was all thanks to that energizer.

The story of Gloria, the main character in the novel “The Prince Who Loves Widows,” who became a widow after marrying her wealthy husband, started with the energizer.

A normal person would have the common sense that a 200-year-old energizer should be thrown away because it was over the expiration date. Caught by the desire to spend a hot night with his beautiful and young bride, the baron drank the unknown energizer given by others without the slightest hesitation. As a result, Gloria was suspected of poisoning her husband a week after they got married.

‘Later, the Crown Prince cleared Gloria’s bad name on his own and their first romantic encounter would begin just like that.’

Haley had no intention of telling the old and greedy Baron that he would die if he take it. Everything must go according to the plot in the original novel. It was a good thing for the writer who created this novel, and also for her friend, Gloria.

Haley turned around and entered the place where the wedding ceremony was going to be held. She heaved out a deep sigh and looked around to see if there were any handsome male guests in the room. It was true they said, “The fact that people who hang out in groups have similarities is a science.” It’s because none of the baron’s acquaintances were young and good-looking. How could this be a realistic setting in a romantic fantasy world? Does this even makes sense?!

“Oh, I should have been the one who get married to him.”

‘Then I can become a rich widow.’

Baron Stephen has a very high regard for things ancient. Once again, Haley recalled something she had heard in the past.

‘I like voluptuous women. You’re a bit… Should I say some parts of your body are not good enough for my liking?’

Haley was rejected with those hurtful words. 

Haley frowned for a moment as she thought about it. Then, a palm carrying a sweet chocolate appeared in front of her face.

“Noona, eat this.”

The owner of the hand was Claude, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Perhaps because of his well-dressed uniform, his atmosphere changed slightly, exuding a gentleman aura in him.

It was the first meeting they had after sharing a kiss. Haley always had trouble sleeping because she regretted having drowned herself in such a moment. 

‘How dare you appear so impudently in front of me now?’

As soon as Haley saw Claude’s face, she kicked his shin.

“You, brat! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, and all you had to say was telling me to eat chocolate? Did I teach you that? Hey!”

Claude put his hand on his lower leg and pretended to be hurt, but all the while, he managed not to drop the chocolate on the floor. He flashed a smile at her.

“Oh, my noona. Come on. Don’t you miss me?”

Haley ignored Claude and find herself a seat. Claude chased after her like a duckling following the mother duck. When Haley sat down on the wooden bench, Claude also sat down beside Haley.

“Noona. Aren’t you going to look at me?”

Claude smiled cutely at Haley who was angry and only looking ahead. When such a big bear smiled brightly like that, the women who came as guests glanced at the scene and showed a delightful expressions.

When will that little cub grow up and give off a manly aura?

No matter how much Haley looked around the wedding hall, none of the guests were as handsome as Claude. Haley sighed in pure regret. When her arrhythmia symptoms came on again, she pressed her palm.

“Hey, Noona. What about Gloria? How’s she looking?”

“Fine. She’s just as usual. You know, she refused when I told her that I would replace her in marriage.”

“Why would you want to marry that old man instead?”
