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 must be careful about the matter and don't lose what he has worked so hard for over the years. If his guess was right that he's rich, and he's the heir, that would mean he has already made a good impression of himself towards the master, but if he was mistaken that he's just a no-body, or he stole the card, it's a risk he's willing to take. He should take this risk to make a good impression of himself towards the master.The manager bowed and handed the card back.“You can try the card again if you want, sir, or you can leave with the clothes if you want to.” Some of the customers who were watching what was being done at that moment couldn't believe what they were seeing, so they started to whisper to themselves.“How is this possible? Why is the manager so respectful to someone who wanted to steal from his store? He's so mind-blowing.”the other utters.“I take he's just playing mind games with him; soon he will drop his guard, thinking the manager is with him, and then he will strike.” “You are right; that is what is going to happen.”said the other as all of them watched how everything was going to unfold. Marcus thinks about what happened earlier: he wanted to buy all of this for his wife and Ivy; there is no need for all of this again; she shamelessly left him behind and went away with another man. After everything they have been through, he faces the manager; he seems like a responsible man; he might understand his satiation and let him go.“I apologize for this inconvenience I might have caused you; I don't see the need to buy these clothes anymore.”He apologized to the manager for the inconvenience.“No problem; before you leave, wait and let the sales representatives check if all the clothes are in good condition.”“okay”Marcus utters It seems the manager is a top professional at what he does, and he's going to reward him when he has settled down. The sales representatives checked the clothes one at a time, and everything was in good condition." “Sir, everything is fine.”The manager nods his head.“You can go now.”He knows he went overboard not to question Marcus about the card, but after all his years of working here, this is the third time he's seen such a card. It's not fake or stolen, or something to tell him, order-wise. The manager's action left a good expression after him. The security guard was disappointed; he still didn't understand what the manager saw in the commoner that could make him let him go freely. What if the owner of that card decides to show up and he or she is from a top family? Every one of them is getting sacked for not following due process, which is something he doesn't want. Marcus got out of the JSK shopping mall and entered a taxi. He was going home, he said to the driver.“Please, can I charge my phone in your car? My battery is dead.”“No problem, sir.”The driver responded. Marcus plugged his phone into the USB car charger. After some minutes, his phone was back to life. He received a message immediately saying, [The restriction on his card is lifted.] Marcus's account is immediately restricted again as the card was used for the first time. He was still staring at the message, at that moment he got a call from his butler, he answered the phone.“Hello”“Young master, I have been trying to get in touch with you. I hope you're alright.”“Yes, I'm fine, but why was my card restricted?” Robert's eyes open a little bit on his side. How dare they restrict the young master card? Someone must pay the price for not doing his job properly, he says.“Young master, I'm sorry. Give me one minute. Let me call for the sack of the useless bank manager. He's incompetent.”“Just make sure my card is working fine.”Marcus ended the call with a few second pass. Marcus got another message.[The restriction on your card is lifted permanently.]followed with another message, but it was from Robert.[Master, please manage the money. Your supreme card of 100 billion dollars will be delivered very soon.] Marcus doesn't know if he's going to laugh or cry. What Hazel did earlier was still fresh in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the better and more frustrated he became. Marcus squeezed his fists hard when he got home. Hazel is going to explain the meaning of that nonsense he saw earlier to his face. Marcus got home and came down from the taxi. His fists were still squeezed hard and angrily entered the compound, only to see Penelope had packed all of his belongings out.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
Everybody was shocked. They couldn't believe Marcus knew the director. How can he know the director of High Life Gallery? He is just a useless son-in-law. Penelope Frozen in astonishment, she couldn't believe what just happened. How is that possible? It must be a dream. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but the director was still bowing his head. David was also frozen in shock; he couldn't blink his eyes.Marcus gazed at Hazel. Hearing her words earlier was painful; he couldn't believe Hazel didn't believe him when he said he had everything under control. She decided to ask for a divorce, but she didn't believe him, and she thought he was fooling around. She has stayed with him for years now, and they even have a child, yet she still doesn't take him seriously. However It's alright if she doesn't believe him in a situation like this; after all, she knows his capabilities. Marcus gazes at the director; he doesn't like the way he bows his head to him. He needs to settle everyt
Everyone's eyes and mouths are agape in shock. They couldn't believe what the director just said. It seems he doesn't know who Charles is. He wants the head of the heir of the Kingston family, a second-class family in Summerville. Who the hell is this director? Penelope started wondering, as fear was written all over her face. Charles stepped back in fear. The men nodded. They immediately grabbed Charles and crushed him to the ground. One of the men brought out his knife; he wanted to stab Charles when the manager ordered them to stop. Charles screamed in fear.“Please don't do it.” Charles almost peed on himself; he started breathing rapidly. The director saw the look on Marcus's face; it seemed he's just overreacting. After all, the master proclaimed that he traded stock for him; he should not be overreacting; that would make anyone thinks there is something more between them, which the young master Cleary wants to avoid. The director walked to Charles and warned him.“I will kill
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
