She was in front of the CEO office and knocked at the door.“Knock Knock, you sent for me.” Autumn utters. “Come in” She quickly entered the office with her face full of smiles. She never believed she would be entering the CEO office ever in her time working at San Yellow Company, but here she is; her good deed has been rewarded. She bows her head upon seeing director Autumn.“You sent for me, Ma.” She raised her head, and her eye caught Marcus. She couldn't believe he had not been dealt with. Director Autumn must have called her here so she could tell how she caught the thief. Autumn's eyes were deadly at that moment. It seems the receptionist must have done something wrong, and the young master hasn't told them what she did, and none of them dare ask the young master questions; she wanted to find out herself.“Do you know this gentleman?” the receptionist's eyes Squinted, she couldn't believe director Autumn would be referring to the thief as a gentleman.“Yes, I know him. He
Hazel didn't believe what Marcus just said; she knew it wasn't possible that Marcus was about to get the contract; she knew he didn't have anybody or whatever.“I don't believe you; I know you're just kidding. How is that possible? Please come home before you get into trouble.” Marcus wasn't happy Hazel was not believing him, but he understood her fear.“Hazel, when will you start believing me? I told you I'm in front of San Yellow Company with the contract drafts in my hands.” It seems Marcus is serious about this; she decided to go meet him at San Yellow Company to confirm the contract drafts herself before going to her family company to go meet Lady Charlotte.“Wait for me; I'm on my way.” Marcus doesn't have anytime to waste; however, he understands why Hazel is worried.“Okay, I'm waiting for you.” Hazel left the house, heading to San Yellow Company. She doesn't know the power Marcus friends hold, but Marcus is very confident in his connections, and he's claiming he's got the
Lady Charlotte couldn't hold her anger anymore. She flings the contract drift documents away and faces Hazel with a heart-seizing face.“How dare you try to scam me! You think I don't know you just left your house not long ago? Someone witnessed everything! How dare you come here with fake documents?” She can't believe Hazel had been influenced by her husband; she now tells lies for money. Look what ignorance has caused her.“Mom, it's real!” Hazel's knew if she said it was Marcus that made everything possible, nobody would even believe her; they might even kick them out. She was about to say something when the look on Lady Charlotte's face made her shut her mouth.“shut your mouth, Hazel.” Wesley barks, and Jennifer Hazel's cousin follows through“How dare you try to deceive Grandma? We all know you just left your house. How did you get the contract drift document this easily? We know nobody will allow you inside San Yellow Company; even senior Wesley wasn't allowed, let alone you
She picked up the call; it was from a friend.“I'm busy. Call me back later.”“Wait, have you seen what San Yellow Company posted on their social media pages?”Lady Charlotte's eyes suddenly shot open; she immediately covered the phone speaker, and she faced Wesley.“Wesley, check the San Yellow Company social media page now.” Wesley was confused by her words; he wondered why Lady Charlotte wanted to waste his time, but he brought his phone out; perhaps Marcus and Hazel had been fully exposed by San Yellow Company. He lost his breath when he saw the new pinned message from the San Yellow company social media page. Wesley quickly checks the followers of the page again; perhaps he has entered the wrong one, but his heart beats faster, seeing he was on the right page. How is this possible? How can the Hudson Cooperation Company be given a 30 percent contract of the Berry Estate Project. Lady Charlotte snatched the phone from him. She is tired of waiting, and she doesn't know whether her
Charles was heading home, but he was still hurt. He must inform his father about all of this. Those security guards dare humiliate him in such a manner, although he knows San Yellow Company would never apologize. If they could sack those bastards, he would be happy; that would teach others a lesson. Not long after he managed to drive home, he hurried inside his family villa and uttered.“Father, father, you won't believe what happened to me today.”He couldn't complete his words at that moment. The look on his father's face made him shut his mouth. He had never seen this look on his father's face before; it was as if he had lost everything and was about to die. And his mother was also seated with the some look on her face, which made him wonder what was going on. He quickly walked closer to his mother.“Mother, what is going on? Did someone die? What is going on? Why is everyone looking like this?” Charles mother couldn't say anything; it seemed he hadn't heard what had happened. The
Charles nods his head.“yes father” Charles couldn't bring himself to tell his father he was the one who said he can't help them; nobody forced him. When he heard that happen from Wesley about that nothing piece of shit Marcus made a bet with Lady Charlotte about Hazel getting a 30-percent contract from San Yellow Company. He knew it wouldn't be possible, so he decided to use this opportunity to get Hazel for himself. He knows she would be desperate because she's not as foolish as Marcus; she knows when something is possible or not, and he decided to take his chance. If not for that useless Marcus, who somehow knew the director of High Life Gallery and his plans failed then, he knows this one wouldn't fail, but now he got the beating of his life, and now his family business just disappears. They definitely did something wrong, and they are punishing the wrong family.Charles father eyes were deadly at that moment, so he summoned his chief security guard.“Get all the cars and the
Marcus simply put on a smile; these words cannot affect him anymore; he knows he can afford anything he wants; and he simply holds Ivy's hands as all of them walk inside the family house. Everyone was already seated at the round table, and different varieties of food and drinks had been served. Lady Charlotte was seated with happiness written all over her face; it was as if a prince had just proposed to her. Penelope saw the smile on Lady Charlotte's face; she is definitely happy for her to organize something like this, and she invited them too. It means Hazel truly got the contract, and all her worries can be put to rest now. Wesley saw when Marcus and Hazel all entered. He gazed at Marcus with a deadly expression. He must pay the fool back for what he did to him today. He doesn't dare talk to him before, but now that it seems the bastard has started raising his wings, he will cut them off soon. Lady Charlotte immediately stands, showing a feeling that she can no longer hold the joy
Wesley's face hardened. What is Marcus saying? How dare he ask brother Jacob such a question? He glared at Marcus.“Shut up, you bastard; how dare you question brother Jacob? You think he's jobless like you; he was the one who got us the contract, not these useless tricks both you and your wife are trying to play.”Jacob was quiet for a few seconds. He knows he had spoken to Mr. Elvis about using his connection to give the Hudson family a 3% contract on the Berry estate project; he only said he would look into it. How come he gave them 30%? He doesn't believe Mr. Elvis is capable of something like this, but who else will give the Hudson family such a thing? And the thought of what Lady Charlotte promised him still rings in his ears. He can get Hazel now. He faces Marcus with cold eyes.“What else do you want to hear? I was the one who got them the contract. I work for San Yellow Company, and I use my connections to make all this possible. I'm not as useless as you.” Jacob hates Marc
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
