“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 have anything to explain to you, you homeless dog; hasn't she suffered enough in your hands, you glorified idiot?” Penelope's eyes were burning with range. She has been waiting for this day to come, so she can kick the bastard out of her daughter's life. Now that the opportunity has come, she must make good use of it.“This gentleman is Mr. Charles, the heir to the Kingston family. For your information, he want to marry Hazel and help our family secure a contract, and we all had already agreed to it.”The Kingston family is ranked as a second-class family in Summerville. They are known for their wide connections when it comes to business in Summerville. At that moment, Charles raised his shoulder a little. He worked hard for this day, and it seems he's finally getting what he deserves. Marcus couldn't believe what he just heard. How is it even possible that he spoke to Hazel not long ago before he left the house? She never made mention of this; it could be that she was keeping it a secret from him, and it just finally exposed herself.“Mother, I know Hazel has gone through a lot just because of me, but she is still my wife, and we are both married. I have worked hard for this family. I gave my best to make sure everyone was happy.”“Just shut that mouth of yours. I know your head is full of shit, since you have worked hard, so tell me what you achieved. Every hard-working man has something they have achieved. Where are yours? Show me yours, you bastard.” Marcus couldn't say anything at that point. It was fine. It was strange that Penelope would say such a thing when she collected the little salary the Hudson family pays him every month. She gave him nothing from it. How can she utter such nonsense? He wanted to say something when Penelope uttered“I heard you were sacked today; you must be here to apply for a cleaning job. Is this what you're going to use to take care of Hazel and make sure Ivy attends a good school like her mates who have responsible fathers?”“No, no, mother I'm here to buy clothes for my wife and daughter.” Penelope eyes squinted, the bastard is still shameless as usual.“You came here to buy clothes; do you even know how much it costs to buy clothes here? You think it's some kind of roadside market; just look at you; everything you are putting on doesn't even cost 100 dollars, and you're here to buy clothes for my daughter, you bastard.”She then gazed at the sales representatives.“You better call the security now; he's here to steal something. this is what he does? He's a thief.”Marcus couldn't stand Penelope anymore. This isn't the first time she has done this, and she constantly seeks every little opportunity to make him look stupid and useless. He knows that if he paid for the clothes, it would shut her up. Marcus faces the sales representatives.“Please package all the clothes and tell me how much it will cost.” The sales representative nods as she quickly calculates the price.“Sir, the cost of everything is $300,000.”Marcus didn't feel anything, before it was a huge amount of money to him; he would probably have to work two years under the Hudson family for him to be able to raise such an amount, but things are different now.“Young man, since the clothes are for my wife-to-be, just let me pay for the clothes. I know you can't afford it; you should leave it for a capable man like me.”Charles, with a mockery look on his face from the look of things, knows Marcus is useless anyway.“Don't help this bastard out, Mr. Charles; since he wants to humiliate himself, let him do that it's none of our business.”Penelope gazes at Marcus with deadly eyes.“I can take care of the bills myself; I never asked you for help.”Marcus gazes at Charles with dead eyes; he knows Charles brought Penelope over with money. Hazel couldn't just stand and watch Marcus humiliate himself in public she utters.“Marcus, stop pretending as if you can pay the bills. You and I know you can't, just cut off the crap how are you supposed to pay such an amount of money? Just allow him to pay the bills and drop your arrogant behavior.”Marcus gazes at Hazel. His eyes were cold. He couldn't believe this is the same Hazel he had talked to not long ago, but he doesn't care about what they are all saying; he knows he can pay this little amount of money. Marcus took out the black card. He was confident, he knew he had enough money in it. Everyone was eager to see Marcus pay for the clothes.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
Everyone was shocked at that very moment. Why would he allow the thief to go freely? He should have teach him some lessons. The manager recognized the card; it's a card specifically made for a certain top family. He looked from head to toe, and the man in front of him didn’t seem like someone who possessed such massive wealth; he looked so ordinary. The security utters“Sir, I think he must have stolen this card; that must have been the reason he can't use the card. The real owner must have blocked the card; they should call the police right away.” The manager was still gazing at Marcus. Rumor had it that the coming of the new heir was unknown, but all the information about him was unknown; nobody knew or had seen him; they didn't know what he looked like, and no one outside had heard about the news. The manager thought that if the man possessed this kind of card and dared to use it, then probably he was the heir. Though it was just a possibility, he would rather not take a risk. He m
Marcus eyes shut up upon seeing his belongings outside, and Penelope was seated close to them. First, he saw his wife with another man in the shopping mall. and now Penelope wanted to chase him out of the house, Marcus quickly walked straight to her.“Mother, what is the meaning of this? I demand an explanation. Why are my belongings outside?” Penelope gazes at Marcus. With dead eyes, she stood up from her seat, her face filled with anger. One can easily tell she's angry.“You're useless, which is why all your belongings are outside. I don't want to see you around this house or get close to my daughter anymore. Pack your belongings and leave quickly.” Penelope couldn't believe the bastard will still had the guts to step his feet inside the compound. It brought all his belongings out to throw them away. She thought the bastard would be in jail or with the police by now, but here he is, asking her dead questions. Marcus wasn't having any of this; he knew it was because of him that the
Penelope's eyes turned red at that moment. She couldn't believe Marcus, the useless boy, was now making a mockery of them; she couldn't just stand and listen to the crap words.“You demn bastard, you think we don't know you're lying. Who are you trying to deceive? Stop pretending and trying to come up with different lies. You know fully well that ordinary people can't even get close to the gate of Sam Yellow Company. Your behavior has gotten to the limit, and I can't take it any longer. You must divorce Hazel now and let her be with someone capable.”“You must; enough is enough; I can't take it anymore.” At that moment, Charles started laughing. He couldn't believe someone would be this foolish. He wondered what Hazel saw in the fool, and she was still staying with him and keeping up with all this nonsense.“Mother, he's just so demn foolish, he just opens his mouth to utter nonsense.” He gazed at Marcus with cold eyes; he was smiling inside him. He knew Hazel would go for a divorce
Penelope is furious. What is the point of having someone so useless if he can't help? It's better he leaves her daughter's life and lets someone capable of helping them take responsibility. She clearly understands what Charles meant by his words; if he can't fork out 10 million dollars now, he should divorce Hazel and let Charles help them.“I don't want to hear a word from you except that you have the money, which I know you don't, so you must agree to it now.” Charles was full of smiles. It seems Penelope is smart enough to understand what he means by what he says, and from the look of things, it seems to be working. They will have no other choice, and Hazel will have to make another choice: to divorce this bastard and get married to him. Finally, he's getting what rightfully belongs to him after all those years of rejection. He's getting Hazel with open hands now.“Mother, it seems your son-in-law can't help his wife.”“He's not my son-in-law; I never accepted him from day one. I'
Marcus was shocked. He couldn't believe Penelope would utter such a thing. He knows she never liked him. He always thought so because he put them in this mess. However, it seems Penelope hates him to the bone for her to say such nonsense, but since he has already taken care of the situation, he should just tell them he utters.“I won't do such a thing; however, I have already taken care of the situation.” Charles was glaring at Marcus. He couldn't believe someone would be this useless. Either he's just pretending and wasting everyone's time or he's out of his mind; either way, all this must end now, he yelled at Marcus.“Whatever you call yourself, you can just keep your mouth shut. You want us to believe the crap that comes out of your mouth. What do you even plan to say to the boss if they called him? Do you even know him?” Marcus too, was Staring at Charles, the fool is so proud of himself that soon he's going to shut that mouth of his up and give him the biggest shock of his life
The disbelieving look on his face Marcus was lost for words; he wasn't expecting Hazel to say such words just because she felt he couldn't do anything in this situation. She has decided to ask for a divorce. At that moment, Penelope was covering her mouth in astonishment; she couldn't believe Hazel had finally seen the light. She quickly walked to her and held her hands. With a big smile on her face, she hugged her.“Thank you for seeing the light; you have done the right thing, and I'm so proud of you.” David had tears of happiness on his face.“Thank you, Hazel, for taking the bold decision to not allow them to take me away. Thank you.” Hazel never wanted to divorce Marcus, but she had no other choice. If she refuses to do something, her father is definitely going to be treated badly or go to prison, which she never wanted, although she knows Marcus has been helping the family for years now. However, this is beyond him, and she needs to save his father. She bows her head. Marcus's
David's eyes opened in shock, and fear took over his body. At that moment, his hand started shaking. He couldn't believe the boss was here, and he clearly didn't look at Charles. He just walked past him as if nobody were there. He didn't know how to respond to the director's words. The director might not want the money anymore; he must be here to make him work all his life. He was scared to the bone, so he looked at Marcus and pointed at him.“Take my son-in-law instead; my son-in-law said he would replace me.” The director turned to look at Marcus. He knows Marcus is the young master now ; he couldn't say anything. Robert told him never to address him as the master. The sight of him seeing Marcus made his heart beat faster. He couldn't believe a commoner like him was in the presence of the heir to the Lord Hamilton empire. After hearing what David just said, the leader of the men voiced out as he pointed at Marcus.“Didn't you say you knew our boss? Didn't you say you are such a good
