Chapter 2

Marcus eyes open but his vision was blurring, he was still dizzy and his head was heavy, why would this people kidnapped him, what did he do, could this also be Wesley plans.

Marcus battles to get on his feet, and he heard a thud sounds from his back, he turned and an old man was kneeling close to him.

“Young master, please forgive me for asking those nincompoop to bring you here, they didn't know your identity”

Marcus was a little surprised by the man words, what is this man saying, he looks around to see if anybody was standing beside him but nobody was.

he face the middle age man and pointed at himself.

“Are you talking to me, please you got the wrong guy, what young master are you talking about”

The middle age was tounge tied by his words, he took a glance at Marcus necklace and he wasn't putting on the Hamilton family necklace, this will be difficult to explain now.

He stands up from his knees.

“Young master, everything will be cleared soon”

The middle age man step to the table behind him and open the drawer, then he fetch out a necklace, that somehow looked like a key.

“Young master, surely, you remember this necklace, you have it with you, this necklace is a confirmation that you are part of the Hamilton family, Lord Hamilton gave it to you on your birthday”

Marcus was stupefied when he saw the necklace, his foster mom says this necklace was probably given to him by his family, however he thought he was trying to cheer him up, since he was always downhearted about his true family.

He stares at the necklace for a while, how can he come from a rich family, if so why would they throw him away, this man must be a scammer, they probably bought this necklace with plans to deceive him, but he doesn't have money, why didn't they do a background check on him.

“I don't have money, you got– ”

“Young master, you are truly the master of the Hamilton family, your other half is the key to family fortune, if don't believe me, let try it, bring the other half out”

Marcus was stunned by the man words, he could feel the seriousness in his tone, this might not be a scam, he truly have that necklace, but he left at home, he should go fetch and see if this is truly the case.

“I will go get it”

“Master, should we take you there”

The man wanted to get everything done quickly.

“No, I will go myself”

Marcus turned and leave quickly, he didn't want them to come with him, they are strangers, and he still unsure, but his heart is racing with anticipation.

He came out from the mansion and he received a text message from Hazel, his wife.

[Marcus, come to the Villa now]

Marcus didn't know what was going on but Hazel sounded like it's urgent, he rushed to the place quickly, Hazel was waiting for him by the door. She looked very worried. His fist got a little stiffer; Hazel had lost her position in the family because of him she refused to divorce him.

“Hazel, why are you outside?”

He said it in a low voice. Hazel couldn't help but fake a smile. She knew what happened today; Wesley told her Marcus was going to ask for a divorce, and she also learned that he had been fired from the company. She feels bad about how Marcus's life turned out because she made him use the money he got from investing in stocks when they were still in university. Things would not have gone this way for him. He would have had a solid life; she's to blame for everything.

“I'm sorry about what Wesley did. I'll talk to Grandma about it, and I'm sure she'll listen.”

“Don't talk to Grandma; she won't do anything.”

Hazel knows about that, but she still wants to give it a try.

“Will you two go inside? Grandma is already sitting down, and you're acting as if you're in love here.” Jennifer, one of Hazel's cousins, said as she opened the door, and then she said something else before closing it.

“Stupid people!”

Marcus's face turned red. She always looked for every little opportunity to mock them. He will pay her back for this day and everything she has done once he confirms his identity.

“Let's go in; grandma is already sitting down.”

As Hazel and Marcus walked into the villa and the meeting room, everyone looked at them.

“shameless scavenger!”

“Mother, what are they even doing here?”

“Sit down, Kane. Everybody sit down!”

Lady Charlotte doesn't care who was late or why they were late; she needs everyone.

“You all have heard that San Yellow Company ended their contract with us; the CEO arrived today and gave the order right away.”

Wesley looks at Lady Charlotte.

“What should we do now? Five percent could have made us sixty million dollars. Let's beg Brother Jacob to help us get three percent instead.”

“Are you deaf, Wesley? He can't help us. That's why I called this meeting: to find someone who can help us get our deal back. Because money is very important to us, will anyone volunteer to help? If anyone can renegotiate this contract, I'll send them a million dollars right away.”

No one dares speak out because they all know what happened to Brother Wesley when he went to San Yellow Company because of this deal. The security guard beat him up. Third-class families aren't allowed to get close to San Yellow Company. Amazingly, brother Jacob was able to get them five percent. Now that he can't help, the whole thing is over.

Lady Charlotte's face got harder. She couldn't believe that no one dared to raise their hand—not even Hazel, she called here because she was better at this—but she didn't want to help.

“Shame on all of you!”

Wesley spoke slowly.

“Mom, you know that's not possible; those people almost killed me the last time I went there, but I was lucky I was able to get out alive.”

Lady Charlotte's face got even angrier, and she was about to smash the table when she saw Marcus raise his hand. Why does this jerk raise his hand?

“Yes, what is it again, Marcus?”

Everyone looks at him, Marcus stands up while Hazel also looks at him. and wonder why is he standing up? What does he plan to say?

“Hazel will help the family secure 30 percent on this contract but on one condition.”

Everybody was dumbstruck; they didn't know whether to guffaw or rain abuse on Marcus.

“You are a madman!”

“What is this c*ck saying? Is he drunk? 30%, what a joke!”

Some people in the family laughed out loud, and Hazel wasn't sure if she should cover her face or ask Marcus what was going on.

“Be quiet!”

Lady Charlotte hit the table with her hand. Everyone shut their mouths immediately, and Lady Charlotte's voice was heard.

“What is your condition, Marcus?” Marcus coughs and clears his throat.

“I will be given five percent of the Hudson Company shares; my wife Hazel will get five percent; and my daughter Ivy will get five percent. That's fifteen percent altogether.”

Marcus said as he sat down.

“If you agree with that, Hazel will help you get the deal.”
