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
All the security team also stood up; they didn't want to make any mistakes again. They couldn't believe the young man standing in front of them was their boss, yet they almost laid their hands on him. It should have been cut off by now, if not for the kind heart of the young master. Marcus gazes at Brandon again.“Remember what I told you; we are just friends and nothing more you can call me Marcus.” Brandon nods. “Yes, my lord, I won't make any mistakes.”Brandon leads the way to the elevator, going to the VIP floor. At that moment, Hazel's mind was unrest; she was worried if they had arrested Marcus or were beating him. she was facing Penelope.“Mom, I want to go look for Marcus. I don't know if he's safe. I'm worried.” Penelope Glares at Hazel; it still surprises her why Hazel is so obsessed with that bastard who can't provide anything for her.“I don't care whether he's been killed or not; he deserves all the punishments; he's useless. You should just be happy that I finally g
Brandon could see the sudden change in Penelope's mood; she seemed to be happy all of a sudden, he utters.“500,000 dollars” Penelope's eyes widen in shock. She never expected the money to be this huge. How on earth did Marcus keep helping people make money, yet he's poor and useless? She was about to say something when Brandon uttered“I heard the cost of the food you ordered is 500,000 dollars, and that amount is certainly what I own Marcus, so I will use the money I own him to pay for the meal you ordered.” Penelope's smile dropped immediately. She couldn't believe all of this and couldn't contain her frustration anymore, she gazed at Marcus and uttered“Why didn't you inform me about all of this, yet you allowed me to order food of 500,000 dollars? For what? Do you know how huge that money is?” Penelope covered her face with her hands. She couldn't believe she just wasted such an amount of money on food when it would be enough to buy her a good car that would stand out a little
Zachary wasted no time as he hoisted the young master onto his back; that was the only thing he could think of at that moment.with little Ivy clutching tightly to her father's hands, and she walked alongside Zachary. With swift, determined strides, they ran out of the factory, leaving Marilyn behind. Marilyn is still was shock because of what she just witnessed.Marcus murdered her father right in front of her, and how he did it.He's a beast.She couldn't move a muscle at that moment; her entire body was paralyzed by the shock. Zachary knew she can't escape, not in the situation she was in. Even if she managed to escape, he would find her. Even if she managed to escape and travel somewhere far away, he would catch her, no matter what.They came outside of the factory, and Zachary and Ivy quickly got into the car. Immediately, the car engine roared to life, and they sped towards the hospital. He couldn't waste any more time.The urgency of Zachary’s actions underscored the critica
Without a second thought, Ivy snatched up the brick and hurled it at Robert with enough strength. Just as Robert's finger tightened on the trigger, the brick struck him squarely on his hand. The impact caused him to jerk, and the bullet intended for Marcus's head narrowly missed him and hit him on the back Marcus stood in his position for some seconds before falling to his knees.Zachary was shocked to hear the sounds of the gun and see the young master going down on his knees. He wanted to quickly run to the young master, but the remaining men immediately blocked his way.Robert watched as Marcus fell to his knees.However, his face twisted in pain. A smile curled on Robert's lips, a cruel, satisfied grin that contrasted starkly with the dearness in his eyes.As his gaze shifted to Ivy, he couldn't believe the young girl dared to interfere in his plan, and he even interrupted him. She had rolled a brick at him, and Robert couldn't believe it. If it hadn't been for her, he would hav
At that moment, Marcus and Zachary know they can't waste any more time. Both of them entered the zone immediately, their presence immediately drawing the attention of everyone around.The tension in the air was palpable as all eyes turned toward them. Some of them couldn't believe their eyes; they thought both Marcus and Zachary would be shaking in their pants now, but they looked confident as if they were going to fight with some little group of children. It seems they don't know what's coming their way.Marcus had one thought in his head, which was to rescue Ivy by dispatching the men standing in their way and killing Robert. At that moment, both Marcus and Zachary moved forward with a confident look on their faces that suggested they were more than ready for the challenge ahead.The men, too, were growing frustrated with how Marcus and Zachary were carrying their self. They are going to teach them some manners, and in their next life, they will learn how to beg and be loyal.The
Robert was determined and resolute, but at the same time, he doesn't want Marcus to be the one who is calling the shut; it's either he obeys his rule or not. After keeping quiet for some seconds, he decided it was time to make his request. He stood tall and firm, his eyes never wavering as he addressed Marcus, his adversary in this tense and delicate situation, without being told he knew he needed to show his superiority.“Now I'm going to give you just one condition, and if you refuse, just know the deal is off.”Marcus' eyes widened a little bit. He knows what Robert was trying to do, but it would not work. Nobody would leave the building alive if he can't get his daughter. Nobody would leave alive.He said to himself.“What is your condition?”Robert smiles when he knows a hungry man doesn't have time to check how the food is being cooked. He knows Marcus is in a very desperate situation now, so he can't say no.“Release my daughter now, and you can come get yours after that,”
Zachary moved swiftly to help Marilyn; the urgency in his every movement tells a lot; he doesn't have time to waste anymore.Marilyn was still trying to pretend as if she didn't know what was going on. Without being told, she could tell they were in a hurry and time was no longer on their side. She knew she could waste more time as much as she wanted now, knowing fully well they couldn't hurt her anymore. Her father is in full control of the situation. Zachary noticed what Marilyn was trying to do just because she was the key to the exchange, and she wanted to waste their time. Without hesitation, he holds her so tightly that she can't waste their time. If care wasn't taken, he would carry her. Marilyn's surprise was palpable, but Zachary's determined expression silenced any questions. Zachary said immediately “We need to go, now!!.”Zachary commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument. Even though Marilyn knows they can't lay their hands on her anymore, she needs to be car
Marcus stood in his position with the phone in his ear. He couldn't believe what he just heard: Ivy with Robert. How is that not possible for someone he left in the house not long ago when everyone was around? How did, Robert manage to get your hands on her? How is that evil possible? Could it be? This was one of his tricks just to make sure when he get to the location with Marilyn then he would attack or he's saying the truth, He doesn't know which he was going to believe, and at that moment everything seemed so confusing. His face was a mask of fury and disbelief. He could hardly process the words Robert had just uttered.He planned to kidnap Hazel before and is still not satisfied. This time, he kidnapped his daughter for what reason? He's acting with swiftness and ruthlessness, and he hadn't anticipated any of this. Robert seems to always be one step ahead of him. He thought he knew him. Marilyn was his daughter; he was going to have another advantage over him when the time com
Robert's face at that moment was filled with a smile, and at the same time, he was angry. He's ready for action now that he has finally exposed everything about himself, knowing fully well Marcus would not take it likely with him. That was his plan all along, and he is ready to face the consequences that may come outside of it.“Since you want to know what happened, I will tell you.”Robert started listing what Lord Hamilton did to him after he had served him all his life.“After I had served your useless father all my life without having a life of my own, he decided to give all of his property to his son. The son he had never meet; everyone knew he was dead, but yet he decided to write your useless name in all of his companies. After everything I did for him, I gave all my life to serve him.Where were you when I was serving and working in your position, but your useless father betrayed me and had your name written on everything, everything I had worked so hard for beside him, it did
The sudden change in Marcus's face was unmistakable when he heard what Marilyn just said. He wasn't expecting to hear such words from her. How can she say Robert was her father? How is that even possible? And that can only explain why Robert refused to take action against her, how will he deal with his own daughter? He had always thought she was just another pawn in Robert's elaborate and evil scheme, but this was too much. Although Robert was far older than him, he still wasn't expecting to hear such a thing. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Marilyn could be Robert's daughter. The revelation shocked him to his core, rendering him speechless. As the weight of the new information settled in, the room was filled with a tense, deafening silence. Zachary too was angry, hearing the information he wasn't expecting to hear. However, he never liked Robert for once because of how he forced his way into Lord Hamilton's life. It was something so strange, but he never for onc
As Marcus stepped out of the sleek, black car, his face was a mask of determination and suspicion; all in one, he was determined to find out the truth and everyone behind everything that had been happening. His dark eyes scanned the surroundings with a penetrating gaze, leaving no detail unchecked. He cannot make any mistake in this kind of situation when he knows he is here all alone and has not fully trusted Zachary and Tyler just yet. He couldn't afford to waste any more time. He had to ensure this wasn't another trap set by Zachary and Tyler. Despite the lingering doubts, something told him Robert was the true betrayer. His instincts tell him both Zachary and Tyler are loyal, but Robert's involvement is undeniable; he's the one behind everything. Ivy just confirmed it. He would have brought Ivy here to confirm both Zachary and Tyler, but that is not even possible because Tyler already knows about Ivy, which was bad for him, so it's best she stays at home and stays out of this
