Marcus Hamilton Trillionaire In Disguise

Chapter 9

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 now after seeing all the nonsense the insane man was saying.

“Young boy, just in case you are not aware, San yellow Company can never give a third-class family a 30 percent contract; the maximum they can do is five percent; with my family influence, I can get the Hudson family seven percent.”

“Stop all the crap you're saying; it's becoming irritating.”

Marcus remains gallant in his words; he knows what to do.

Hazel isn't happy with Marcus's behavior; she knows he is incapable of offering them even zero percent, someone who can't even afford clothes. She has been living with him for years now. His attitude was not like this; he was so concentrated on working hard that it must have affected his head. He now brags of 30% when he has never even gotten close to Sam Yellow Company, and Charles said he can only help with 7%, and everyone knows how connected they are. Marcus, who can't get a good job and even think of getting close to the gate of Sam Yellow Company,she knows he's full of talks with no result, which is what he always does.

Upon hearing what Charles just said, Penelope's eyes became even more deadly. The fool dares to use such a useless trick so he can sleep inside the house today; that can't never happen.

“I'm sick and tired of you. You must leave this house today.”

She grabs some of Marcus' bags, wanting to throw them out, when some cars stop in front of the house and a group of men comes out of the cars, all in suits. The look on their faces tells them they aren't here to play around with anyone one of them yelled. 

“Come out of the car!”

David stepped out; his head was down, and his face tells he had gotten some beating. They grabbed him by the neck and pushed him forward. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. One of the men steps forward.

“Are all of you his family?” Penelope was in shock; her heart was beating fast at that moment. She doesn't know what David has gotten himself into this time around, and from the look of things, it seems this is serious; these men are not here to play around. Hazel moved two steps forward towards the men and uttered

“Yes, he's my father.”

“Good!”

one of the men uttered.

“Your father came to High Life Gallery claiming he wanted to buy art work, and he broke one of our expensive pieces, which cost 10 million dollars. He said his family is rich, and we are here to collect our money.”

He then gazed at Hazel with dead eyes.

“And if you guys refuse to pay, he will have to choose to work for us as a cleaner till the day he dies, and if he refuses, we will have no other choices than to report him; he'll be sent to prison.”

“Can we have our money now? Do you want to transfer the money?” Everybody was shocked. David can't stay away from trouble for just one week; if it's not gambling, it will be something else. Now he just did something worse; he will be taken to prison or become a cleaner all his life if they can't pay 10 million dollars, which they don't have. Hazel couldn't say anything at that moment. She was shocked to the bone. How can her father make such a mistake? How are they going to raise such amounts of money? Lady Charlotte would never help them; she and her son are not on good terms. Penelope quickly walks to Charles; she knows only he can help them. She gestures her hands together.

“Please, Charles, only you can help us out of this. Please, we are going to pay you back. I don't want my husband to be jailed or work all his life. Please help us.”

Hazel couldn't help but join his mother.

“Please, Charles, save my father; he can't survive this; he will die. Please help us.”

Tears start to drop from Hazel's eyes. She doesn't want her father to face a jail term or work all his life; he is already in his 50s; he will die either way. Charles sees this as an opportunity to fully get Hazel.

“Mother, I would have loved to help, but all of you are still strangers to me. Ten million dollars is a huge sum of money.”

With a mockery look on his face, he utters:

“Hazel is not my wife; since her husband is here, he should just solves the problem for everybody; after all, he's Hazel's husband, and that should be his responsibility.” Marcus was staring at Charles with dead eyes. The fool is making a mockery of him at this point. He's still mad at him for making Hazel do all this nonsense. He will pay him back tenfold.

When Marcus saw Hazel crying, his heart melted. He must do something to get David out of this situation. He wanted to say something when Penelope Utters, her eyes were like a burning fire.

“You must agree to divorce Hazel this minute.”
