Vivian's heart soured at the mention of a property notarization. She couldn't stand how her family treated Marcus like a scheming thief when he had worked hard all these years. So, she willed herself to speak calmly to her mother. "Mom, you shouldn't go that far.""What do you mean by 'go that far'? That loser must've brainwashed you! He freeloaded off our family for three years, but did he ever earn a living? Has he ever chipped in for the household expenses? Even a beggar on the street is better than him. At least they know how to seek out money and survive on their own. Besides, you're the future successor of Lorimer Group. Your net worth already amounts to billions. He might lose all your money if you don't get a notarization now!" Lisa snarled through gritted teeth.Even Mr. Crawford and Mr. Zimmerman couldn't help scowling at Marcus with disdain when they heard that. "I won't sign this property notarization no matter what!" Vivian had an unyielding tone as she crossed her arm

"I need to discuss something with you, Marcus … I want to move into Hingbrook Hills." Vivian hesitantly mentioned it to get Marcus' opinion. Lisa had been nagging her to move houses these past few days, so she had no choice but to agree.Marcus smiled while replying, "Sure, I can't wait to experience the high life in a luxury house!" "Oh. Good to hear that," Vivian snapped and felt disappointed in him. At first, she worried that moving into a luxury villa would wound his pride. Yet, she never imagined that he wouldn't mind it at all."Perhaps he doesn't have any dignity. Then again, he might not care about me one bit," Vivian mused while shaking her head. A dull ache spread in her chest at that thought.…Early the next day, Marcus and the others began packing their belongings.Brenda had also rushed back to help, but for some reason, she seemed pale and behaved clumsily as if her mind was elsewhere.Concerned by the former's odd behavior, Vivian asked, "Are you feeling unwell,

"Deal!?" Don't make me laugh. What business deal would an esteemed daughter of the Lorimer family want to strike with me, a matrilocal son-in-law?" Marcus asked incredulously. Since he didn't have anything planned for the day, he decided to play along and see what Faye had up her sleeves.Faye invited herself in and sat on the sofa. She looked around and took in the exquisite decor and exclaimed with jealousy, "So, this is Pinnaclepoint Estate!""State your business quickly!" Marcus urged."Before that, let me ask you something. What do you think the mysterious billionaire is after for treating Vivian so well out of the blue?" Faye asked while making various flirtatious poses. She even bent down and flashed her cleavage at Marcus a few times.Marcus closed his eyes and didn't respond."Hmph! Let me tell you. Actually, that mysterious man is attracted to me, but he doesn't have the courage to confess to me, so he's using Vivian to get close to me," Faye explained confidently."Wha

"Do business with you? Oh, come on, Marcus, don't make me laugh. Do you know the price of our cheapest car? 800 thousand dollars! If I can't afford it even with my five-digit salary, do you think you can afford it as a delivery driver?" Fergus insulted him without holding back. Marcus shook his head dejectedly. If he knew that his friendship with Fergus would sour over this, he wouldn't have made that call."Where's your boss? I would like to speak with him personally," Marcus spat out."You'd like to meet our boss? Marcus, are you here to create a ruckus because you're jealous of my position? My position is the highest and I have the most authority in this branch. If you have anything you wish to say, you can tell it to me!" Fergus answered arrogantly. His eyes were filled with hatred."If your boss doesn't appear in three minutes, I'll make you regret crossing me," Marcus said coldly and found a seat. He didn't want to waste his energy arguing with Fergus. "Regret? I'll make y

Marcus' answer shocked everyone present."Bought … Bought a car?" Vivian repeated in disbelief. Vivian thought, "The cheapest Porsche would cost around 800 thousand dollars. Where would he find the money for it?""Useless piece of trash! Are you still toying with us? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" Lisa snapped. She was angry that Marcus was still trying to fool them."Mom, stop it. I'll go and have a look and we'll know if he's lying or not." Brenda glanced at Marcus playfully. She was feeling gleeful to have the chance to expose her brother-in-law's lies for Vivian to see.Moments later, a scream could be heard from outside the house.The three of them rushed out of the house to see what happened. What came into their view was a Porsche sports car. Standing next to it was a wide-eyed Brenda."Vivian, it's the real deal! I just checked on the Internet. This is the latest race car series and it's worth more than six million dollars!" Brenda had a bewildered expression on h
