As Marcus turned to face Ivy, he immediately noticed the stark terror etched across her small face; this time it was more than the first time he had seen such face. Without a word, he could tell something was profoundly wrong with Ivy, and he needed to address it immediately because the expression she wore was hauntingly similar to the one she had when she encountered Marilyn, and he doesn't know why she was showing that same expression again, and this time it was even more intense.Marcus immediately recognizing the urgency in his daughter's eyes, Marcus spoke softly to Robert, knowing he can't neglect Ivy, not in this expression, not when he can't trust anyone except Ivy and Hazel.Marcus faces Robert.“Give me a minute; I want to talk to my daughter,”he said, his voice laden with concern. He was curious, wanting to know what Ivy was going to say this time around.Robert nodded in understanding the young master.He stepped back to give them space. He could see that the young girl
Marcus stood with a measured calmness on his face; he couldn't allow any sign of anger to be written on his face before Robert would start thinking of something else, which he didn't want. His eyes fixed on Robert, careful not to betray his inner turmoil and give him the impression he knew something. He didn't want Robert to catch even a hint of suspicion. Marcus believed Ivy; he was certain that Robert was the mastermind behind the series of unfortunate events. The pieces were falling into place now, and the full picture was becoming painfully clear, but he still needed to get the final confirmation.As Marcus's gaze remained on Robert, his mind began to wander, sifting through the memories of the past few months. He recalled how Marilyn had been caught in a whirlwind of trouble, always seemingly coincidental but now evidently orchestrated.Robert had always been around, pretending to be busy with other matters, yet his actions were superficial, a cover for his true intentions.
Marcus's face was a portrait ofurgency. His brows knit together, his eyes wide with a mixture ofdetermination and fear, he wasted no time in using the car Tyler had given him. He can't wait to confront Marilyn and make her say the truth, even though both Zachary and Tyler would be there. He's going to act carefully if he finds out they are working together. He's going to start with them first before he comes to Robert.Marcus's eye turned deadly. At that moment, he can't tolerate nonsense anymore. Marcus entered the car, and he started the vehicle's engine as it roared to life, a sound that mirrored the intensity within Marcus as he sped down the road. He needs to ask Marilyn just a few critical questions. He needed to be certain Robert was orchestrating all ofThis alone, without Zachary and Tyler's involvement, would be the only reason he could win this fight because he needs Zachary more than ever. The fact that Robert had arrived immediately after they got home was telling
Robert ended the call with a sense of finality. His eyes became even more menacing, knowing he needed to act fast immediately. There was no more time to waste; his plans were in motion now, and he can't delay because, sooner or later, Marcus was going to know about Marilyn, which he was going use and hurt him. After all, he can't allow someone to mistreat his daughter. When he heard the news about the warehouse being exploded, he thought he had lost her, but unfortunately for him, she was still alive and safe, which meant his plans were still in motion and there was no turning back.He can't hide behind a mask any longer; the time for action had arrived, and he was going to make good use of it without taking twice the fool is going to pay.Robert was dropping the phone when, immediately, a sleek Mercedes bus parked in front of his car. He emerged from his vehicle with a mask concealing his face, as did the appearance of the ten strong-looking men who descended from the bus. Together
Hazel's face was a portrait of terror as she watched Robert's menacing grip tighten even harder around Ivy's neck.She struggled against her bonds, her heart pounding in her chest, but she was too weak to break free. Tears streamed down her cheeks even more, mingling with thedirt and sweat of her captivity. She tried to beg for forgiveness; if they had done anything, he should forgive them or better still kill her instead of her daughter; however, the tape over her mouth muffled her cries, reducing her from begging; she couldn't say anything properly as she was only able to grumble while looking.At that moment, Robert's hand was like a vice, lifting ivy off the ground with terrifying ease.Hazel's eyes turned even more disheartening at that moment.They are trying to kill his daughter.She tried to stand up on her feet, but she couldn't the tape was so tight that she fell to the floor immediately. Grumbles grew even louder, but Robert was not listening to her or even looking her w
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
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
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
