"Why … Why is it you?" Quentin's eyes widened. He'd strangled Jordan's only son, Wayne!At this moment, Wayne's eyes were bulging. His gaze was fixed on Quentin. It was almost as if he was asking Quentin why he had killed him.Marcus slowly emerged from his corner while clapping. "What a touching scene this is. The enforcer is overcome by sorrow after accidentally murdering his boss' son. This headline's gonna shock the world!"Terrence stopped recording and tucked his phone away. He glared at Quentin with bloodshot eyes."I never would've expected you to be someone's lapdog, Terrence." Quentin pulled a handkerchief out of his pockets and wiped the blood on his hands."Did you think you could control me because you have dirt on me? How naive! I'd kill Jordan in a heartbeat if he pisses me off, let alone Wayne!"Quentin brushed the dust off his clothes, looking calm."I'd die if I could take you down with me, let alone be someone's lapdog." Terrence's face was red from suppressin

"But why?" Clementine's eyes widened in confusion."Don't ask. Just do as I say!" Jonathan's tone was final."No, I won't! You're being ungrateful, Dad. If that's how you're gonna act, I don't want you to thank him on my behalf. I'll thank him myself!" Clementine said huffily."Clementine, you're too naive. You've never seen the dark side of society. Think about it—he managed to fork out 10 million dollars to save you, yet he's willing to be the Lorimer family's matrilocal son-in-law. How simple can he be?"Besides, he just happened to show up when you were abducted. I doubt this matter is as simple as it looks!" Jonathan narrowed his eyes."You're gauging him with your own mean measures, Dad. I can't talk to you about this if that's how you're gonna act." Clementine turned away huffily."If that's the case, you should head upstairs to get some rest. I'm gonna skin Jordan Coleman for daring to lay a hand on you," Jonathan said menacingly."That's not necessary. That what's-his-f

"That's weird. Why's he leaving just like that?" Clementine said in surprise. The Zeele and Whitman families had been enemies for the longest time.Being able to get some dirt on Clementine was a good opportunity for Lawrence to lord it over her. How could he let the matter slide so easily?"They're a bunch of trash!" Marcus' expression darkened when he saw where Lawrence and his entourage were headed."Oh, no! They're trying to take that young lady away. And they're beating the old man up!" Clementine's eyes widened. "Hurry and save—"She stopped abruptly. Marcus had already disappeared and reappeared behind Lawrence and his gang."Let my … granddaughter go! Please! She's still a child!" the old man pleaded. His old, dazed eyes were filled with tears."Grandpa, Grandpa! Stop hitting him, please! He'll die! He's my only family! Please, stop!" The young lady burst into tears. She knelt on the ground and tried to stop Lawrence and his gang."You want me to let him go? Sure! As lon

"Let's get divorced!" Vivian's voice was shaky. Her heart felt like it'd been stabbed when she said these words.Everyone's eyes widened, and their jaws dropped.Lisa didn't expect this. She leaned close to Vivian. "Are you out of your mind, Vivian? Even if you want to get a divorce, this isn't the time!"Hurry up and tell him to head home first! Get the money before kicking him to the curb!" Lisa whispered urgently."Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Marcus looked lost. He had no idea what was happening."No, I'm not. I've never been more clearheaded in my life! Marcus, we're not right for each other. It's best for us to go our separate ways." Vivian tried her best to put up a strong front, but tears filled her eyes.They'd been married for three years. Though she was reluctant to let that go, she couldn't look past his mistakes. She couldn't accept a relationship that had three people in it.Vivian could accept Marcus no matter how good-for-nothing and worthless he

"I can't drink!" Vivian looked a little repulsed. As expected, Shane was as much a player as the rumors said."Oh? Is it because you think I'm not worthy of drinking with you, Ms. Lorimer? Are you sure this is how you want to act around me?" Shane's tone turned icy."No, it's not that. I'm alcohol intolerant. My doctor said I can't have even a sip of alcohol," Vivian said. She was trying to be patient.If not for Nora warning her to seal this deal, she would've left long ago!"How about I drink this with you? That should be okay, right?" Marcus grabbed the bottle of cognac."Of course! I'm not the type to force others to do things they don't want. But if you're the one drinking, you should finish at least two bottles to show your sincerity." Shane smirked.This was his true purpose. Once he got Marcus drunk, he could have his way with Vivian!"That makes sense." Marcus popped the cognac open and started gulping it like it was nothing."Marcus, stop! That's enough!" Vivian tugge
