Jill had been abroad for many years and had grown into the habit of being blunt. She expressed herself boldly and didn't hold back.Father Johnny couldn't help laughing at her words. He almost spat his drink out. He knew very well that Marcus was Phisteele Corporation's secret boss. He glanced at Marcus meaningfully."Honestly, could you stop thinking so highly of yourself?" Marcus curled his lip, sounding exasperated. "I already told you our boss is married. Forget about your fantasy!""He's not married just because you say he is," Jill retorted. "Don't tell me you're trying to lie about being the secret boss again. I'm sick of hearing that!"Besides, so what if he's married? That doesn't mean he can't get a divorce. Someone as beautiful and amazing as me would be more than worthy of being his wife!"Marcus was lost for words. She was out of her mind.Vivian glared at her. "How can you wish for someone to get divorced?"Jill giggled. "That's the only way I'll stand a chance!"

Jill couldn't help feeling like Marcus could somehow predict Phisteele Corporation's future and prevent anything bad from happening. She thought about how he kept saying he was the secret boss. Could he be telling the truth?No, it couldn't be. It was impossible! Jill quickly returned to her senses and shook her head. If Marcus really were the secret boss, how could he be the Lorimer family's matrilocal son-in-law?He must've won the secret boss' favor under some special circumstances. That was why he knew the secret boss' decisions.Yes, that had to be it.Marcus had no idea what was going through Jill's mind. He couldn't help feeling taken aback when he heard Octavius' name. He knew Octavius was one of Wallace's godsons. But as far as he remembered, Octavius had always been relatively nice to him.Even when the Coleman family had sent assassins after Marcus in the past, Octavius hadn't participated in the hunt. He'd chosen to sit on the fence. It was the main reason Octavius had

At Phisteele Corporation, Jill was in a panic. She couldn't sit still. The new and improved super auxiliary medical device was newly launched. Its future had looked bright. Yet something so terrible had happened at this juncture.Jill couldn't help lamenting this bout of misfortune. She wanted to discuss a plan to deal with this with Elijah, but it turned out he was on a business trip. He wouldn't be back for days.She couldn't wait for him to return before dealing with this. Phisteele Corporation would be dead meat by then! Then, she thought of someone—Marcus. But to her dismay and annoyance, Marcus had taken the day off.Unbeknownst to her, Marcus and Elijah were investigating things at the private hospital."The patient's records show they were using our new super auxiliary medical device for their treatment. But I can't help feeling it wasn't actually our device being used during the treatment itself." Marcus scanned the device. Something was amiss somewhere.The device had be

Go through it again? Edmondo's heart jolted. What was Marcus playing at?Still, Edmondo was confident that even the world's best hacker wouldn't be able to restore the footage he'd wiped. That way, it was as if his switching of the devices hadn't even happened.The surveillance footage would only serve to drive home the fact that Marcus and Phisteele Corporation had murdered a patient. Edmondo felt gleeful at that thought.He'd had to spend some money to hire someone to tamper with the footage and buy someone at the hospital out. But the way he saw it, it was worth it."Hmph, you're still refusing to admit to your crimes!" Edmondo looked scornful.Stan, Lee, and Monty looked confused, but since this was Marcus' only request, they allowed it.The start of the surveillance footage was exactly like the one the three inspectors had seen at the hospital. It was long and boring. But when they got to the middle, things started becoming odd.A man who looked identical to Edmondo appeare

"You managed to invite Father Johnny over?" Anthony knew his son well. Taylor had grown up as a bully and didn't have a skill he could fall back on. Yet no one dared to do anything to the grandson Bartemius doted on."As far as I know, even the wealthy families in the capital have to get a number and line up if they want to see Father Johnny. They're not given preferential treatment," Anthony said. "He's a stubborn and proud man. How did you manage to get him to budge?"Bartemius was also curious about this and looked at Taylor expectantly."You guys may think it's hard to invite him over, but it wasn't too bad for me." Taylor snickered. "He initially refused to come with me, but he honestly overestimated his influence. I had someone just pick him up and drag him into the car!""Y-You dragged him back here?" Bartemius' heart sank. If this were anyone else, he would let the matter slide. But this was Father Johnny they were talking about. He was more than a century old and a nationa
