Vivian was a decisive person so she took action immediately. After thinking about it, Vivian immediately went to Phisteele Corporation. She wanted to persuade Jill to let her handle the project, which was worth 100 billion dollars. She believed that she could use her capabilities to gather more finances and succeed. At the same time, she believed that the Lorimers wouldn't dictate her marriage anymore if her net worth increased rapidly. Vivian didn't meet Jill immediately once she arrived at the company. After all, this was a costly project which utilized advanced technology. It was an extremely important task for Phisteele Corporation. As such, Vivian was unsure that she could convince Jill to give her that project. Therefore, she gathered her thoughts and came up with a speech to persuade Jill. After going through the potential conversations in her head, Vivian headed to Jill's office. "Jill!" Vivian cut to the chase once she entered the office. "I have something impo

The Lorimers in Cromford could not understand why Marcus was so wealthy. However, since he had done what they asked, it would be unreasonable for them to stay and pester him further. So, the Lorimers left the small mansion with disappointment. Faye, in particular, hated Marcus to the core. That was because her efforts were in vain. "Mom, from now on, this is our home. No one can kick you out anymore," Marcus remarked with a smile. Then, he took Winnie's suitcase from her hand and added, "Let's go. I'll help you put your things away."Seeing that Marcus had dealt with the Lorimers, Winnie said nothing else. As for how he had the six million dollars, she did not ask either. After all, the last time he faced hardship, he managed to resolve it within a day. With that alone, Winnie could see how much influence Marcus had in the city. However, she had one concern. No matter how powerful Marcus was, he could not be compared to the Colemans in the capital. Putting them side by

Wolley instinctively glanced at Elijah, feeling anxious. He feared that Elijah might be displeased with his abrupt request. After all, the commander-in-chief was not someone just anyone could meet. Initially, when the words came out of his mouth, Wolley did not hold much hope. Unexpectedly, Elijah chuckled and replied, "You want to meet the commander-in-chief, huh?"No problem! I can contact him for you." Elijah's answer surprised Wolley. The latter subconsciously asked again, "Lord Elijah, can I really meet the commander-in-chief?"Wolley thought his request was too much, and Elijah would surely tell him off. But the latter did not.Instead, Elijah nodded and said, "Of course, the commander-in-chief is very friendly. He's not as aloof and distant as everyone thinks he is."After hearing those words, Wolley could not help but feel somewhat awkward. He was not the only one who thought so. In fact, everyone had the same feelings about the commander-in-chief. In their eyes, he

Meanwhile, Marcus returned to the small mansion with the three gifts Wolley had given him.Winnie heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Marcus. "Marcus, you're finally home!" she exclaimed.Noticing how anxious Winnie was, Marcus could not help but ask, "Mom, I only went out for a while. Why are you so worried?"Winnie let out a sigh. Then, she slowly said, "I heard the Colemans in Hill City are here. "They're one of the top aristocratic families. I'm sure they're here to deal with us on the Colemans in the capital's orders."Ever since Marcus killed Rory, Winnie lived in constant fear."I know the Colemans in Hill City are in the capital," Marcus replied with a smile. "I even met with their head of the family, Wolley Coleman."His words shocked Winnie. She quickly examined him, looking worried. "Did the Colemans in Hill City hurt you?""Of course not!" Marcus shrugged and continued, "If they did anything to me, would I be standing before you unharmed? Besides, they've given

Wolley felt extremely awkward. During the day, Wolley and Nico gave Marcus three gifts to please him. They thought they had found someone to rely on and could show off to the Coleman family in the capital.They did not expect to meet him again in the evening!Marcus chuckled and said, "I'm very satisfied with the golden silk armor you gave me!"By the way, why are you kneeling? Weren't you here to kill me, chop off my head, and seek recognition from the Coleman family in the capital? What are you waiting for? Come on!"Wolley and Nico were too scared to respond to Marcus.At this moment, they finally knew why Rory had been defeated despite his formidable reputation in Easton.Marcus knew they wanted to kill an abandoned bastard during the day!Marcus told them that the other side was not easy to deal with ...It turned out Marcus was not only the commander-in-chief but also the abandoned bastard of the Coleman family in the capital!Wolley deeply regretted telling him their
