"It's no wonder they appeared so calm when they were going to face Baldie. They have Terry and Harvey on their sides," Polly claimed.The Childes were aware that Terry and Harvey were hot shots from the underworld.Furthermore, Brad had personally contacted Harvey to obstruct Northfort Pinnacle Hotel's construction."It's no wonder why Harvey suddenly betrayed us. Harvey has Marcus and Vivian's back!" Matilda said."Crap! Since Marcus and Vivian have Terry and Harvey as their backers, Baldie won't hurt them for now. He might shift the blame onto us. They have Terry and Harvey on their sides, but what about us?" Yvette pointed out a serious problem.Everyone was anxious upon realizing that."I think Howard should pay Baldie a visit to show our stance. After all, Howard is an officer working in the ministry. "No matter what, Baldie has to take Howard's status into consideration before taking any actions," Luna suggested.Polly said helplessly, "I guess that's the only way out fo

"It was the perfect plan!" Matilda played along. "Too bad, you got caught.""I seriously wasn't planning to run away," Vivian explained. "If you think that I've taken the money away, you can check my bank account. See if there's a huge sum of money debited.""Vivian Lorimer, do you take us as fools?" Yvette chipped in. "Why would you transfer it to your personal bank account when you were planning to take such a huge sum of money away?""What do you want me to do to believe me?" Vivian was on the verge of crying."Give us the money back and resign from your position." Norman, who had been staying silent, spoke. "Vivian, we can settle this in peace within the family since you're my granddaughter. Of course, if you decide to foolishly fight for this for your personal gain, we can settle the matter in a professional manner."Hearing that, Marcus smiled. "You've finally shown your true colors. In short, you want her to resign from her position. Since she's the successor, all of you ca

"What do you mean by that, Marcus?" Polly was upset. Norman had already made it clear this matter was to be swept under the rug. Yet Marcus was being sarcastic. It pissed Polly off.Norman snorted and said, "My memory may be getting worse as I grow older, but no one's ever duped me in my years of doing business!""I wouldn't be too sure about that." Marcus shook his head. "You said you had Aunt Polly transfer the money to your personal account, right?"There's bound to be a record of the transaction and a notification of the change in your bank balance. I'd advise you to check whether you've received anything, Gramps.""That won't be necessary!" Norman snarled. "Polly's my eldest daughter, and I was the one who instructed her to do this. What could go wrong?""Exactly!" Polly piped up. "The way I see it, you're just trying to cause a scene and sow discord between us.""Who do you think you are, Marcus? Did you think a single sentence would make us believe you?" Howard growled.

"Once you die today, no one will be able to save him. Then I'll have the biggest chance of becoming the Coleman family's heiress!" Wanda didn't bother concealing her ambitions.The Coleman family was different from other wealthy families. Anyone could become the family's heir or heiress as long as they were capable.The current head of the family had two sons—one of them had leukemia, while the other was Marcus. Once Marcus died, the head of the family wouldn't have any more heirs.And there were few others in the Coleman family who were capable of leading the family. The odds were in Wanda's favor.That was why she'd decided to get rid of Marcus. Once she returned to the Coleman family, she would push the blame on Ted and say he'd lost control of himself."Sounds like a perfect plan." Marcus smiled. "It's too bad there's no telling for sure who'll die tonight.""One minute." This was the second thing Ted said.Wanda shrugged. She grabbed a glass of wine that had been placed on

"Mom, Vivian, I'm home." Marcus walked in, looking happy. "I have good news for you. Rudd Corporation's been bought over, and Baldie Rudd's stepped down. You guys don't have to worry about him causing trouble for us anymore.""We heard about it ages ago." Lisa nodded at the TV. She grumbled, "Honestly, I don't know what you do every day. If not for Mr. Steele, who knows what would've happened to us?""I was out taking care of the problem." Marcus smiled."You?" Lisa sneered. "Are you trying to tell me you're the one who had Mr. Steele acquire Rudd Corporation?""Yep." Marcus looked serious."Yeah, right! If you were capable of that, Vivian wouldn't have to live her days in fear." Lisa looked scornful.Marcus chuckled. He didn't argue with her. Anything was fine as long as no one was harassing Vivian. Then, she could focus on the Ninepoint Corporation project.Vivian couldn't help feeling curious about Mr. Steele. Her gut told her he and Marcus had something to do with each other
