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
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
Marcus walked right into Director Wesley's office without knocking. The look on his face showed how angry he was, and he smashed the white envelope on the desk and yelled right away.“Explain that!”When Wesley looks at Marcus's face, he stays calm. This jerk had the nerve to bash into his office without knocking. Marcus is lucky that he is having a good day.“This is what it means: You're fired! Get your ass out of this company!”Marcus raised his eyebrows and asked.“How can I be fired when I'm a member of this family and my work has been the lifeblood of this company?”He got to work early this morning and found this on his desk.“I need a good reason for why I'm being fired.”“Because you're not the owner! I think that's a good reason.”Wesley sat back in his chair and didn't pay any attention to Marcus's face.“Bang!”Marcus hit the table hard with his hands and moved his head forward.“This company should have died a long time ago. I gave you guys all my money to help, and now yo
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 ta
Everyone mouth open slightly in shock. They can't believe the madman's words. How can he say something this stupid and demand something ridiculously crazy? He is a drunkard! He is definitely under the influence of alcohol.“You are a bastard!” Hazel's face was asking plenty of questions; she knew what Marcus just said: it wasn't possible. Marcus wants to gamble if truly he's the lost heir; he would like to take the risk now knowing they are going to force him to divorce Hazel anyway, which he will do for Ivy to have a better life; she deserves the best. Lady Charlotte finally regained herself after thinking about something else. Since the bastard refused to divorce Hazel even when he was sacked this morning, she sees this as a perfect opportunity to get him out.“And if you can't, you will divorce Hazel immediately and leave this family.” Everybody's face brightens up hearing Lady Charlotte's words; she is undeniably the tigress of this family. The perfect way to kick this bastard
When Marcus was done, he stood up. He felt like this was a dream, but it was real. Robert walks into the room just in time. He has a black card and car keys in his hands.“Young Master, this is a card I got for you, and it has no limits.” Marcus asked in a surprised voice, “How much is in there?”“Just 10 billion dollars; I know it's not much. I've already made an order for 100 billion dollars card, so please manage this before it gets here.” Marcus wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. Before he collected the card, he stood still for a while.“So this card has 10 billion dollars on it.” Marcus asked Robert just to confirm. Robert sighed heavily and said.“Young Master, I know this is too small. Please just manage it before the 100 billion dollar card arrives.”Marcus was confused at this point.“May I have your phone number, young master?” Robert asked. Marcus quickly gave Robert his number, and then Robert pointed the car keys at Marcus.“I don't want any cars, and I want to keep a
“Bastard, you are the cause of everything. He dares you fall the bag on the floor. Do you know how much that bag cost?” The man yelled at Marcus again. Marcus at that moment couldn't say anything; his mouth was open, and words refused to come out. He couldn't believe he was seeing Hazel with another man; it felt like a dream, only if he could wake up from it as quickly as possible. Hazel wasn't supposed to be here; she told him she was going to her room to get things done. How come she is here all of a sudden and with another man? What is happening? Marcus and Hazel were staring at each other. Marcus managed to utter his heart was heavy.“Hazel, what is going on here? What are you doing here? Who is this man?” Hazel, at that point, was speechless; she couldn't say anything. She never thought she would meet Marcus here, of all places. He told her he was going to see his friend and all of a sudden, he is here. She wanted to explain what was happening when Penelope uttered“She doesn't
Everyone gazed at Marcus as he handed over his card to the sales representatives, she collected the black card from Marcus and slotted it inside the payment machine. The scanner’s light didn’t turn green as Marcus expected, which means the payment failed.“The payment failed.”“Try it again.” Marcus utters. She slotted the card in again and again, but the payment failed.“The payment failed again.” The sales representatives utter with a half smile on her face; it seems his mother-in-law was right after all; he's indeed useless, she utters to herself. Marcus was confused as he heard what the sales representatives just said: Why would the payment fail? Could it be that Mr. Robert didn't fund the card? At that moment, he also remembered that Mr. Robert sent $10 billion to his cashless account. He quickly brought out his phone, and his face went down immediately when he saw his phone battery was dead. He couldn’t understand what was going on, so he faced the sales representatives.“Ple
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.

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
