Marcus Hamilton Trillionaire In Disguise

Chapter 10

Penelope is furious. What is the point of having someone so useless if he can't help? It's better he leaves her daughter's life and lets someone capable of helping them take responsibility. She clearly understands what Charles meant by his words; if he can't fork out 10 million dollars now, he should divorce Hazel and let Charles help them.

“I don't want to hear a word from you except that you have the money, which I know you don't, so you must agree to it now.”

Charles was full of smiles. It seems Penelope is smart enough to understand what he means by what he says, and from the look of things, it seems to be working. They will have no other choice, and Hazel will have to make another choice: to divorce this bastard and get married to him. Finally, he's getting what rightfully belongs to him after all those years of rejection.

He's getting Hazel with open hands now.

“Mother, it seems your son-in-law can't help his wife.”

“He's not my son-in-law; I never accepted him from day one. I'm not surprised he's so useless as always.” Marcus was annoyed by Charles' attitude. He knows he's doing all of this just to get Hazel, which he will never get.

He's not going to allow him to have his way, although he doesn't understand what is going on with Hazel. It seems to have changed all of a sudden. This is not the lovely Hazel who believed in him and supported him. She seems so different all of a sudden.

And David always goes to big places pretending to be rich, and when trouble comes, he will run home; And he will have to work his ass off just to pay, but this one is ten times bigger trouble than before; however, since he is married to Hazel, he is responsible for helping them. Meanwhile, he heard them mention the name of the art gallery and it belonged to the Hamilton family.

David cries out for help from Charles.

“Please don't let them take me away; please, I promise to stay away from trouble from this day I'm begging you, help me out of this mess.”

Charles couldn't help but smile. Things are getting interesting now.

“Sir, I would have loved to help, but I can't. 10 million dollars is a lot of money, and I can't give it out easily. When you have a son-in-law, I would rather not help anyone take care of their responsibility.”

Charles was still talking when Marcus secretly brought out his phone and sent Robert a message.

[I want you to tell the director of High Life Gallery to wave off the 10 million dollar art that was destroyed.]

Marcus doesn't want anyone to notice what he is doing; he should keep his new-found identity to himself, from what he has been seeing and experiencing. Everyone is after money; they will treat and respect him like a gods, and all the love and respect are fake. They only want the money. After some minutes, Robert responded.

[Young Master, it's done.]

Since everyone thinks he's useless, he will prove them wrong secretly, he utters, facing the men.

“I want you to call your boss; let me speak with him.”

Everyone gazes in the direction of the voice. Penelope couldn't help but cover her face with her hand. They are trying to settle the problem, but this bastard still wants to add to it. What does he plan to tell their boss? He's useless. He's so damn useless. Penelope cried inside her.

All the men gaze at Marcus with dead eyes. The leader utters as his face squeeze.

This brat doesn't know who their boss is. How dare he spit such nonsense?

“Young man, know your place; who do you think you are? How dare you utter such nonsense? It seems you don't know who our boss is; don't make me cut that mouth of yours off.”

Penelope started to pray inside her. They should cut Marcus's mouth off. The bastard can't think with his head for once. Who does he know? He wants to land them in more trouble.

Hazel couldn't believe Marcus would utter such nonsense. The more she thinks and tries to understand him since this morning, the more confused she becomes. This is not the calm and collective Marcus she once knew and fell in love with; he now talks out of place. Charles can't stand and watch Marcus delay his time since the bastard doesn't want to do what is necessary; he's going to force him to do something stupid, he utters.

“Marcus doesn't want to help at all, and he doesn't want to divorce Hazel. If he wants to help and clam he love the family and has been helping the family like he claimed, he should replace David since he's hardworking; he should just released David.”

Charles smiles either way; it's better for him. With the fool gone, he will get Hazel for himself, and if he refuses, he should pay the ten million, which he knows he can't. Penelope raised her eyes a little; she never thought of that possibility. Since Marcus is still young and hardworking, he can easily earn the money in less than 40 years. Since they were in this situation because of him, he refused to leave Hazel alone, and Lady Charlotte cut them off from the family. It's time for him to also sacrifice something for them.

“Marcus, if you want to help, I know you can't pay the 10 million dollars. You should replace David; this should be your token of gratitude for wasting Hazel's youth.”
