Everybody was shocked. They couldn't believe Marcus knew the director. How can he know the director of High Life Gallery? He is just a useless son-in-law. Penelope Frozen in astonishment, she couldn't believe what just happened. How is that possible? It must be a dream. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but the director was still bowing his head. David was also frozen in shock; he couldn't blink his eyes.Marcus gazed at Hazel. Hearing her words earlier was painful; he couldn't believe Hazel didn't believe him when he said he had everything under control. She decided to ask for a divorce, but she didn't believe him, and she thought he was fooling around. She has stayed with him for years now, and they even have a child, yet she still doesn't take him seriously. However It's alright if she doesn't believe him in a situation like this; after all, she knows his capabilities. Marcus gazes at the director; he doesn't like the way he bows his head to him. He needs to settle everyt
Everyone's eyes and mouths are agape in shock. They couldn't believe what the director just said. It seems he doesn't know who Charles is. He wants the head of the heir of the Kingston family, a second-class family in Summerville. Who the hell is this director? Penelope started wondering, as fear was written all over her face. Charles stepped back in fear. The men nodded. They immediately grabbed Charles and crushed him to the ground. One of the men brought out his knife; he wanted to stab Charles when the manager ordered them to stop. Charles screamed in fear.“Please don't do it.” Charles almost peed on himself; he started breathing rapidly. The director saw the look on Marcus's face; it seemed he's just overreacting. After all, the master proclaimed that he traded stock for him; he should not be overreacting; that would make anyone thinks there is something more between them, which the young master Cleary wants to avoid. The director walked to Charles and warned him.“I will kill
Charles eyes opened wide; he couldn't believe Marcus would utter such nonsense to him; he just gifted his wife to him. He bursts out laughing.“I hope you know you can't take back your words.”“Yes, my words are final, and if you fail to get even one percent of that contract, you will stay away from my wife and this family. Don't ever show your face around them again.” Charles nods, knowing it's not possible. He knows fully well that he's definitely going to get them the seven percent contract he promised them.“Since you want to make this kind of bet with me, I accept it. I know you can't even enter San Yellow Company, but since you want to show you're stubborn and stupid at the same time, I wouldn't go easy on you. I accept your bet.” Penelope couldn't help but smile, knowing Marcus had just made the wrong bet. She knows how capable Charles and his family are; it's a piece of cake for them. Finally, the bastard will soon be gone for good, and when that happens, she is definitely goi
Marcus didn't plan to bring the whole family along, and Penelope is taking advantage of ivy, but since ivy nods to Penelope's words, he had no choice but to bring everybody.“Okay, since my ivy wants everyone to come, we should all go together.” David wasn't having the strength to come along with them, but since he hasn't eaten, he should at least have a tastes of the bastard money for the last time before he's kicked out of the house. David and Penelope quickly went inside to freshen up. Hazel gazes at Marcus; it seems he doesn't understand what her mother is trying to do.“I hope you know what is coming your way; you should have just given Ivy another excuse. I'm sure she will understand, now that my mother is coming along, and she's likely to do something.” Marcus smiles, knowing that even if Penelope ordered the whole restaurant, he's capable of paying the bill.“I know what she wants to do; however, I would never lie or give an excuse to Ivy just because of that. If I start giv
They all stood in front of the Royal Table restaurant, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing. This stunning restaurant is a symphony of elegance, combining sleek lines and opulent touches. Its sophisticated exterior showcases a blend of modern architecture and timeless allure. With its gleaming glass façade and meticulous landscaping, it exudes an irresistible charm that invites guests to indulge in culinary delights.Penelope has never been here before; she is not from a rich family background; she has only heard of it from some of her friends, and truly, it's what everyone said it was. She knows fully well that it will cost a lot of money just to eat here if this is the only way to get Marcus out of the family; she is welled to grab it. It doesn't matter if the bastard used all his life to clear off the debt; as long as she gets what she wants, she doesn't care; her daughter would never make the same mistake she made getting married to David.The look on Hazel's face shows
Penelope decided to go with the VIP table, knowing all the meals that go along with the VIP table are all expensive. After she is done with the fool, next time he will learn how to call it a quit.Hazel, at that point, couldn't say anything. She couldn't believe Marcus was not reacting; she can keep quiet any more. Why is he not saying anything? Hazel must stop her mom; she was about to say something when Marcus uttered.“May I pay with my cashless app?”“Yes, sir, please follow me.”Hazel was shocked at that moment. She couldn't understand why Marcus wanted to spend all this money, and from the look of things, it seemed Wesley paid him the salary for this month before he was sacked. If that is what he wants to order food with, he's joking.His salary is just 14,000 dollars, and he thinks it would be enough. What a joke.Hazel, at that moment, was sad and, at the same time, angry. Marcus is getting into trouble today.Marcus followed the staff, and the QR code was presented to Marcus
Since he used the cashless app earlier, he decided to use the card just to confirm whether it was working or not.At that moment, Penelope's eyes turned deadly. She couldn't believe Marcus wanted to use the same trick again.Hazel's eyes closed at that moment. She clearly remembered that this was the same one he used at the shopping mall. What has gotten into Marcus all of a sudden? how is he going to pay for all of this food. At the same time, she was mad at her mother for all of this. He pushed Marcus into this, and he allowed his anger toward her to overshadow his sense of reasoning.The waitress bows a little as he walks away to make the payment.Penelope burst out laughing at that moment.“I know you're useless; you think that trick of yours would work for you the second time. Let me see how you can pay for all this. You better eat as much as you can because this might be your last good meal, useless boy.”Hazel couldn't just sit there and pretend as if nothing happened, she utte
Marcus's eyebrows moved up. he couldn't believe this is why the waitress brought him here. However, it seems she is just doing his job. The black card must be very special. Everyone seems to be paying attention to it. He needs to gets everything done quickly enough to go meet Ivy. She must be waiting already. Marcus utters. “The card is mine.” The director then gazes at Marcus from head to toe again. He looks ordinary, and he doesn't look like someone from any of the top families in Summerville, yet he says the card belongs to him. His face turned deadly at that moment. Nobody is allowed to use a stolen card at Royal Table restaurant. When he's the director here, he looks at Marcus.“Young man, I will ask you again: what family are you from, and how did you get this card?” Marcus simply utters. “I'm just an ordinary citizen of Summerville, and the card belongs to me. I'm disappointed in this attitude of yours. I expected you to go confirm whether it's stolen or not. don't ask me
