At the police station, Lydia arrived in a flurry of nervous energy, her mind swirling with a myriad of emotions. She hurried inside, eager to confront Joel and demand answers.

Entering the interrogation room, Lydia's eyes locked onto Joel, who sat slumped in a chair.

"You scumbag! You this liar! How could you do this to me?" Lydia exclaimed, grabbing him by the collar, the police officer immediately freed him from her.

Joel remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor.

"I am the stupid one to fall for your lies, you are not the one that even sent the money, I am being stupid to believe you"

"yeah, you are stupid and greedy, all what you care about is money", Joel stated.

Lydia scoffed, "I thought you were the one that sent me the money, I was being stupid for that but not greedy".

"If not of greediness, why did you divorced Marcus and lose a gem", he slipped, and nearly revealed Marcus.

Lydia frowned, she was confused, "A gem?".

Marcus had warned him not to reveal him to her, he staye

    "I don't know what to say, you really surprised me," Lydia stated, still flushing.Alexander nodded and motioned for her to sit down. Lydia snapped at the waitress, who immediately rushed towards them."Give us saffron risotto with truffle mashed potatoes, and Dom Pérignon champagne". he ordered.The waitress bowed, and left to prepare it."Wow, you are so rich in taste, I love that," Lydia said."Yeah, that's the reason I have more taste than you," Alexander stated."Please, I want to know, why did you choose to help me? Like... you don't even show yourself. How did you find me?" Lydia asked."I saw you, and you are hot, and I become an observer, walking around and hanging around you. So, when I see you in a problem, I should help, so I help," he said with composure, even when he was lying.Lydia didn't even think about the authenticity of Alexander; she was carried away by his flashy living and already concluded that he was the man she was here to meet.Their food arrived, and the c

    Marcus and Kathie made their way to the hideout, where the man was kept. As they entered the basement, where the man was tied to a steel chair. Paulina and Ivan immediately approached him."Sir, we caught him trying to run away from the country," Ivan reported. Marcus nodded and walked towards the man.

Marcus stepped behind for her to do her work.Kathie opened the briefcase and brought out a ton of gold, "Look, a ton of gold worth $500,000, tell us who sent you and we will give you this."The man raised his head, dripping with blood, and scoffed, "You think you can convince me with this meagre amount of money? I would rather die than tell you who sent me."Ivan was off hearing this as he stepped forward, but Kathie motioned for him to stop, then brought out

    "No! That isn't the reason," she exclaimed, her voice tinged with frustration. "You should have pretended like you didn't know me back then. You want to spoil my relationship with Alexander, my savior."Marcus scoffed, his tone tinged with disbelief. "Your savior indeed... so why are you here?""Look, I know it's my fault," she began, her words rushed. "I should have talked to you back then. I shouldn't have just concluded. I made a mistake.""Good, you know," Marcus simply said, his expression unreadable."So, that's the thing. I'm giving you another chance," she continued, desperation creeping into her voice. "Take this cheque of $10 million dollars and live a proper life without hanging around women. It should be okay for you to start a business.

    Marcus's mind raced as he tried to maintain his composure. He knew this moment would come eventually, but not like this, not this soon and unexpected.

"Yeah, I do. How is your father, Mr. Thonks?"Sophia looked at both of them, her confusion evident. How could Marcus's father, who hadn't been around since all this while, know Marcus?"How is your father, Mr. Thonks? Hope he is doing well," Mr. Victor added, his tone casual."Yeah, very well. It's unexpected to meet you here today," Marcus said, attempting to appear composed.Sophia's mouth fell open as she gazed at Marcus, her brow furrowed. "What! Marcus, you told me you are an orphan."Marcus didn't reply to her but instead locked his gaze with Mr. Victor, who was smiling mischievously. "Indeed, unexpected," Marcus replied cryptically, his

He could still feel the chill in him as he exhaled loudly before stepping out of the cab and stood in front of his big, massive house.Suddenly, he felt angrier. That man killed his mother and even tried to kill him. He was the real reason Marcus had to live as a lowlife for all those years. He clenched his fists and muttered, "Now, it's about time to show them the nemesis of what they did."Just then, Kathie opened the gate and gave him a concerned glance. "Why are you standing there? I've been looking at you from the door. Hope nothing is wrong," she asked, her concern evident.Marcus sniffed and didn't reply. Instead, he walked inside, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.Kathie frowned, confused and curious about what had happened. She had never seen Marcus in this mood before.

    Marcus hung up the call and faced his father back, "There is no going back, I am going on with this."Mr. Thinks nodded and tapped his shoulder again, "Okay, you have my full support, call me anytime if you really need anything."Marcus shook his head, as Mr. Thinks bid him farewell and left; he returned back to the room. Kathie was already clothed waiting for him, "Hope you are not being scolded."Marcus scoffed, "No, not at all, he even wants you as my wife… he is just dreaming high."Kathie clenched her fist hearing this, and then Marcus's phone rang again; he exhaled in frustration before picking it up again."Hello, why are you calling… you should know we are now enemies," Marcus told Sophia. There was total silence before Sophia spoke, "Yeah, I know, but can we meet, at my house?""Meet? How can I trust you, who knows you are now working with your father," he stated."You lied to me in the first place, I am not like you, I just want us to talk and clear something," she said."Ok

He reached out and gently grasped Mr. Thonks's hand, his eyes filled with tears."Dad," he whispered, holding his hand.The doctor walked behind him and stated, "Your father is fighting for his life right now, due to his brain tumor, I am not sure if he will survive it."Marcus exhaled loudly, he couldn't wrap his head around losing his father."Father... you can't go now, you still have many questions to answer, father," he muttered.But Mr. Thonks's eyes were shut; damn, he gulped down and immediately left the hospital. He uttered to himself, "I must investigate this by myself, directly."He entered his car and called Kathie."Assemble the employees right now and announce my arrival. I will be coming as the CEO today," he stated.Kathie was surprised as she asked, "Mmm, really... are you ready for this?""Yeah, do that right now, right now!" he said with an authoritative tone and instantly hun

    Marcus gazed at Lydia and scoffed, then stated, "You will certainly regret this.""Yeah, you and your bluffing, you will never get tired of it. I know, but I'm not regretting any shit. You just have to step up on your own side and stop being a lowlife," Lydia said, feeling superior.Alexander chimed in, "You will never be rich and can never be rich. You are born with the lowlife genetics."Just then, Kathie entered and saw the commotion, then stormed at them, "What is happening here?"Lydia pointed at Marcus, "Talk to your staff. He should stop disrespecting your customer and partner."Kathie looked at Marcus, who was just staring at Lydia with no emotions. Then Kathie stated, "Do you really need the partnership?"Lydia frowned, "Yeah, of course. If you are thinking of me kneeling down before attending to me, then I am not doing that. I will meet with the CEO instead."Kathie nodded, "Really? How do you think you can meet me?"Then Alexander introduced himself, "You know me, Alexander,

She knew she was going to face something big.She entered, holding her breath, and there he was, Mr. Victor Newman on the sofa, sipping tea in a mug. And beside him bowed Joel..."Father?... good morning," she politely greeted him and bowed. Mr. Victor didn't act like he was there; he sipped his tea and focused on the news, which the headline stated, "Mr. Thonks, the billionaire, appoints his anonymous son as the CEO."Mr. Victor chuckled, "Anonymous?.. I wonder why he is concealing his identity, to attack me?"Sophia didn't have the idea of what he was saying. Joel smirked at her, and just then Mr. Victor raised his hand and stated, "who is the man you are with?""Man? Oh yes, my bodyguard," she answered, putting on a fake smile. Mr. Victor chuckled and stood up, then walked slowly towards her."That is not what I heard from the board leaders. Who the hell is that fuckin

Her usually bright eyes seemed dull, and her shoulders slumped, and she looked puffy.Concerned, Marcus gently placed a hand on Kathie's arm and asked in a soft tone, "Is everything alright, Kathie?

    The assembly man's frown deepened at Marcus's request, his brows knitting together. "Do you know these people?" he questioned. "They nearly killed my son. I can't forgive them; they deserve to be punished, even killed. I am considering killing them and feeding their flesh to my dogs."Marcus nodded solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he met the assembly man's eyes. "Yes, they deserve it. That is a heinous crime; your son nearly died. But I know them, they are my friends," he affirmed. "They're not the people you think they are. They're friends of mine, and what happened was just a misunderstanding. They never intended for anyone to get hurt."The assembly man groaned, pointing at Lydia. "But this woman here doesn't feel any remorseful," he said. "She kept telling me that my son deserved it, she kept stepping on my nerves. I can't just let them go; I can't do this for you, please."Marcus smiled and stated, "I know you are just angry, and that you don't mean it. You gave me a whopping $20

    Sophia was looking at the letter, smiling and very happy. Her face lit up as she faced Marcus. She looked at him in a flirtatious way, "You did this!"Marcus chuckled and sipped his wine, "How? I did nothing.""I am sure the CEO considered because of your skill, the medical skills you show. You were cool then," she stated."Being medically skillful has nothing to do with business. You are just lucky, and you give that impression," Marcus simply stated.Sophia kept looking into Marcus's eyes. The words burned in her stomach. She loved him and wanted to confess, but it was so hard. Just so hard to do it."Marcus..." she called him, then breathed in and exhaled loudly. She had made up her mind to tell him."mm.. what?" Marcus cluelessly hummed."I don't know how to say this, but I think I have to say it after all...

    Chapter 84. “What's wrong, what happened”, Marcus curiously asked. Kathie bit her lips as she began, “Sir, this letter was sent to you this evening, I don't know where it comes from, but you should certainly see it”. He stood there, wondering as Kathie brought out the letter and gave it to him, he checked it out and read the content. A sentence that immediately broke his heart. “My son, be careful!”. “What…what?, Is this!!”, He stammered, the letter shaking in his hand. “We don't know, we are currently on it”, she said. Marcus crumbled the letters, “this must absolutely be some shit, my father is on the sick bed, I am very sure he isn't the one that sent this, someone is behind this!”. “yeah, actually a dispatch either delivered it, so we are tracing it back on him, we will eventually find some answer in it”, she said. Marcus nodded, then remembered what Lydia told him, he asked her, “what happened to Lydia, and why don't you inform me about it?”. “I'm about to, you are busy,

    Mr. Victor's cold demeanor sent shivers down Alexander's spine as he stared at the gun pointed at him."What are you doing, are you going to kill me?" Alexander demanded.Mr. Victor scoffed, "Yeah, I can do that, you know what I'm capable of.""Yeah, just do it and let's end it all, but you know, you will become nothing without me," Alexander threatened."Wow, I like your fighting spirit, love it, but that will end up with nothing, and you can even end up dead," Mr. Victor said, still pointing the gun at him."I don't know the reason you are doing this, I don't love your daughter, and I'm not marrying her," Alexander fought back.Mr. Victor's expression hardened.
