Marcus nods at what Hazel just said.“Okay, let's meet in Vegas luxury hotel in the presidential room we stayed the other day.”Hazel nodded. Her heart was beating fast. She knew nothing had happened to Ivy. If that were the case, he wouldn't have called her. However, he's suspecting her mom. Something tells her that her mother must have done something to Marcus. That must be the reason he called. She immediately stopped what she was doing and quickly responded.“Okay, I will be there shortly.”Marcus ended the call. He could feel the sudden changes in Hazel's voice without being told he knows she is afraid, not knowing what he was going to say, but it's alright, and for her own good, it's better he tells her in person so she can see the look on his face when he's saying it.Marcus then faces Tyler.“I will see you shortly.”Tyler nods.“No problem, Young Master. I'm here anytime you need me. I will answer.”Marcus nods as he faces Zachary; he never knew he was part of the family, and

Hazel, at that moment, was confused. The look on Marcus's face tells her he is serious, and he's not the type to joke around with something like this. Even if he needed S*X, he would never stress himself in such a manner. She was unsure of what she was going to ask Marcus at that point, but it appeared he was sincere and at the same time, she wasn't sure if he was telling the truth, though. She knows it will be difficult to say all of those individuals work for him without showing proof, and everything he said was correct. She had been suspecting him and everything that had been happening, but she wasn't expecting Marcus to say all of this, which made her suspicious. She had known Marcus for a long time, and she also knew he wasn't rich, or once mentioned he was from the Hamilton family, but why all of a sudden he's claiming that now?Hazel faces Marcus angrily, knowing he can't deceive her.“I know you're just trying to pull a fast one on me; it seems you have nothing to say; I'm tak

Hazel, at that moment, gazed at Marcus, who was seated quietly; he knew Hazel was mad at him now.Based on what she has observed, it appears that everyone has complete respect for Marcus. Hazel was lost for words. She is aware of this since nobody was permitted to enter the final floor of the Vegas luxury hotel, even though she knows about it, and it's all over the news, but Marcus still finds a way to convince her, making her believe they are repaying him because of his good deeds, not knowing he was busy lying to cover up his tracks, which made her angry. Everything Marcus did in the past that he used stock trading as an excuse was all lies. She faces“Bryan you can now leave. I want to speak to my husband.”Bryan bowed his head as he walked away quietly. He can't complain. It seems the young master's wife saved his ass again like she did the first time.Marcus couldn't say anything but bow his head without being told he knew Hazel was mad at him, and she had every right to be.“

Hazel just smiled and shook her head. She knows if she keeps showing her mother a confused face, she will think something is wrong.“Mother, nothing is wrong. I'm only tired because of the work I did today; that was why I called my husband to come help me out.”Penelope faces Hazel. She doesn't look convinced by what she just said, she has known Hazel for a long time, and she knows something is wrong with her; however, something tells her Marcus is the cause of everything, and Hazel is just trying to pretend.She pointed at Marcus.“Are you sure he's not the one responsible for this? I know something is wrong with you, and I'm sure he's the cause of it.”Hazel immediately interrupted her mother as she looked at her with dead eyes.“Mother, you have to stop. I told you already. I will not tolerate you accusing my husband again. Please stop. I told you already I'm just tired.”Hazel walked past her mother, and Penelope gazed at Marcus, who was smiling.Penelope's jaw tightened immediate

Marcus's face contorted into a blend of regret and resolve as his memory flooded back. He remembered the promise he made to himself about not having dinner with any other woman outside of workplace. Even if it's something important, he doesn't care; he can't go to any restaurants with another woman apart from Hazel. Marcus's eyes which were usually warm and inviting, now carried a shadow of unease as he struggled to maintain his composure once more. He couldn't believe he almost forgot his vow so easily. A furrow formed between his brows, betraying the conflict raging within him. His lips pressed into a firm line, he fought the urge to falter, his jaw clenched in disappointment in himself.With a heavy sigh, Marcus spoke, his voice tinged“I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation to have dinner. If it's related to your company, please visit Sam Yellow Company, and I'll be happy to assist you. Just give me a call beforehand.”Marilyn's disappointment flickered across her features, bu
