Julia and Eric don't know what to do! They were at a loss as they just looked at Marcus.Marcus stood up and looked around frantically like a crazy man, and he stopped when he saw something—another soldier, but this time it wasn't a mannequin.It was an extra playing a dead soldier.The extra lifeless eyes widened when he saw that Marcus was going to him.Suddenly, Marcus took him and put him on his back. He almost moved out of shock!"We're gonna go home! I'm gonna get you all home," Marcus repeated his words like a broken record. His eyes were lifeless but at the same time were filled with raw emotions. "We're gonna go home! I'm gonna get you all home."And Marcus didn't stop there. Extras, mannequins—he took them and put them on the ground, laying them together.Marcus also didn't forget to act like he is avoiding gunshots to make it realistic, making everyone feel like they were watching a veteran actor act.A newbie couldn't act like Marcus! It's impossible unless they have s
'Evidence?! Why would she do that for Marcus?' Eric asks himself, bewildered by the sudden development and the appearance of Christina Morgan. They perfectly planned their plan, and suddenly Christina, who is a star in Pollywood, suddenly appeared to help the loser Marcus? 'What is happening?' Julia asks with narrowed eyes.Marcus glanced at Christina with a mix of surprise and curiosity. 'It seems that my plan was a success,' Marcus said in the back of his mind. Even though Christina was powerless when it came to her husband, she still has some people with her who can help her.It was going according to Marcus' plan.But because Christina still couldn't trust Marcus fully, Marcus revealed to her that Rachel was indeed his ex-girlfriend and that Rachel cheated on him with Eric. After hearing this, Christina said that she would also help Marcus prove his innocence. Marcus felt touched that Christina really did believe him."Evidence?" the director asked, also confused, but he moti
"The money will be given to you when I confirm that the evidence is real. I trust you that you won't betray me," Christina stated, her bossy tone reasserting control."Don't worry. I told you, I gave you my word, and I intend to keep it. You don't have to worry," Marcus replied. "But where should I give it to you?" Marcus asks.Christina didn't answer immediately and went silent as she contemplated Marcus's question. She didn't think about that.But with Deven's watching her every move, she can only think of one place."My parents. I will inform them. Because of what happened here, it would be impossible for me to leave the house. You will go to my parents house and tell them everything they need to know," Christina said in a heavy tone.She hasn't been in touch with her parents for a long time since Deven watches her every move.Marcus nodded. "Don't worry, you just have to introduce yourself. I will be sending some secret message from them that Deven will not understand," Christina
As he clicked on the mystery box, a notification popped up on the holographic screen: [Using 500 Reputation Points as payment for Mystery Box activation. Confirm?]With a moment of hesitation, Marcus confirmed the transaction, and his Reputation Points were deducted accordingly.[Remaining Mystery Boxes for the day: 1]Suddenly, the translucent screen dissolved, revealing a physical, three-dimensional box hovering in the air. It looked tangible as if it had materialized in the real world.With a gentle rustle, the box descended into Marcus's waiting hands. The moment it made contact, the box gracefully opened, and out tumbled a USB drive and a meticulously labeled folder – "Evidence." Marcus' eyes widened in awe.[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired, 'Evidence from the Future' an item that was made and used 10 years ago to expose Deven Gibson and the truth about Christina's death.][Usage Limit: Until it is destroyed. ]Marcus's eyes widened in surprise as the details of the i
"We'll need some time to review the evidence," Anthony finally stated as he reached for the folder and opened it.Before giving it to his secretary to check its authenticity, he wanted to examine it himself first.Marcus nodded understandingly. "I can only give you a few minutes. I have an appointment after this."Fiona furrowed her brows, her curiosity was piqued. "An appointment?""I have a film to shoot," Marcus replied nonchalantly.Fiona's eyes widened as she absorbed this new information, while Anthony's focus remained locked onto the folder."You're an actor?" Fiona inquired, unable to contain her curiosity as she scrutinized Marcus once again.She thought Marcus was a worker that her daughter met coincidentally, and him being an actor never crossed Fiona's mind at all.'Is he an extra?' she thought. "Yes, this is my first project," Marcus replied, confirming Fiona's guess.'He must be really an extra. What does he have a connection with that Thornwood mansion?' Fiona thought,
"Well, you know the Morgan family, Mom. They are very influential people and have around 50 businesses, or probably even more than that," Eric replied with a smirk on his face. His mother huffed."You should be grateful, Eric. Because of them, you can continue your luxurious life despite your failed business!""It didn't fail, Mother. I just made a big mistake in making the right choices, and it won't happen again.""I told you, you need to be careful, but despite this house being rusty, it was such a waste to sell this."Eric stood up and approached his mother. "Mother, don't worry. I have a plan, and why is it a waste? It's not ours anyway, and we can buy something more grandeur than this."Elisa raised an eyebrow, a scheming glint in her eyes. "Speaking of plans, Eric, have you considered expanding your horizons? Christina Morgan, with her recent divorce, made headlines, you two would make an excellent match. Think of the wealth and influence it could bring to us."Eric's eyes wid
Christina paid no attention to Eric's question. Her gaze was fixed on Marcus. "I see you've made yourself at home, Marcus," she said, her voice dripping with amusement.Marcus smiled at Christina's arrival. "I couldn't have done it without your support, Christina."She nodded and then turned to Eric and Elisa."What's the commotion about?" Christina asked, her tone dismissive.Eric stammered, struggling to find the right words. "C-Christina, this man claims to be the owner of this mansion. Can you believe it? He is stealing the house from you."Christina raised an eyebrow and glanced at the legal documents Marcus had provided."These all appear to be legitimate documents, Eric," Christina said with mock innocence. "It seems Marcus is indeed the new owner of this mansion. Is there a problem?"Eric and Elisa were flabbergasted, unable to comprehend the turn of events. They had assumed Christina was the new owner, and now their plans had backfired spectacularly."It can't be..." Elisa mu
All of the workers had left and the silence that enveloped inside the mansion was comforting for Marcus."I see that you are very satisfied, Marcus Thornwood."Marcus flinched. He forgot that Christina was still there.Turning to face Christina, Marcus nodded appreciatively. "Yes, it had to be done. Loyalty should be rewarded, and those who disrespect it should not be allowed to linger."Christina's eyes gleamed with a mixture of admiration and intrigue. "You handled it with remarkable strength, Marcus. This mansion is truly under new management now."Marcus smiled."It's all thanks to you, Christina. Thank you for agreeing to my request, but I actually thought that you gave them the $500,000," Marcus said.He actually thought that since he asked $500,000 to buy the house they are actually buying it without bringing up the legal documents. He gave up taking legal countermeasures since he knew that it would be a dirty fight and he just wanted to have the mansion as soon as possible.
