Charles nods his head.“yes father” Charles couldn't bring himself to tell his father he was the one who said he can't help them; nobody forced him. When he heard that happen from Wesley about that nothing piece of shit Marcus made a bet with Lady Charlotte about Hazel getting a 30-percent contract from San Yellow Company. He knew it wouldn't be possible, so he decided to use this opportunity to get Hazel for himself. He knows she would be desperate because she's not as foolish as Marcus; she knows when something is possible or not, and he decided to take his chance. If not for that useless Marcus, who somehow knew the director of High Life Gallery and his plans failed then, he knows this one wouldn't fail, but now he got the beating of his life, and now his family business just disappears. They definitely did something wrong, and they are punishing the wrong family.Charles father eyes were deadly at that moment, so he summoned his chief security guard.“Get all the cars and the
Marcus simply put on a smile; these words cannot affect him anymore; he knows he can afford anything he wants; and he simply holds Ivy's hands as all of them walk inside the family house. Everyone was already seated at the round table, and different varieties of food and drinks had been served. Lady Charlotte was seated with happiness written all over her face; it was as if a prince had just proposed to her. Penelope saw the smile on Lady Charlotte's face; she is definitely happy for her to organize something like this, and she invited them too. It means Hazel truly got the contract, and all her worries can be put to rest now. Wesley saw when Marcus and Hazel all entered. He gazed at Marcus with a deadly expression. He must pay the fool back for what he did to him today. He doesn't dare talk to him before, but now that it seems the bastard has started raising his wings, he will cut them off soon. Lady Charlotte immediately stands, showing a feeling that she can no longer hold the joy
Wesley's face hardened. What is Marcus saying? How dare he ask brother Jacob such a question? He glared at Marcus.“Shut up, you bastard; how dare you question brother Jacob? You think he's jobless like you; he was the one who got us the contract, not these useless tricks both you and your wife are trying to play.”Jacob was quiet for a few seconds. He knows he had spoken to Mr. Elvis about using his connection to give the Hudson family a 3% contract on the Berry estate project; he only said he would look into it. How come he gave them 30%? He doesn't believe Mr. Elvis is capable of something like this, but who else will give the Hudson family such a thing? And the thought of what Lady Charlotte promised him still rings in his ears. He can get Hazel now. He faces Marcus with cold eyes.“What else do you want to hear? I was the one who got them the contract. I work for San Yellow Company, and I use my connections to make all this possible. I'm not as useless as you.” Jacob hates Marc
There was a sudden cold in the room. Everyone gazed at each other; they didn't understand what was going on. The look on the man's face tells them he was serious. Lady Charlotte couldn't utter a word at this particular time; her head was full of thought, trying to understand what would make Sean Kingston come to their house in such a manner; they all know he moves around with thugs, she politely utters.“Mr. Sean I'm so confused; I don't understand what is going on; we didn't do anything wrong.” Sean gazes at Lady Charlotte with dead eyes; he knows she is just pretending.“You old witch don't play that game with me; I give you five minutes to provide everything we lost today, or else none of you will leave here.” At that moment, Penelope couldn't believe what she was seeing. Charles completely looked past her as if she weren't there. She wanted to say something, but the fear in her made her keep quiet. She didn't want anyone to lay a finger on her. Marcus was full of smiles. He kno
Lady Charlotte Death Stare at Sean, She couldn't believe the bastard would demand such a thing when he knew it wasn't possible. She will never accept that condition over her dead body; she would rather die than accept that. Wesley was only Staring at Sean; he couldn't say anything. How would he demand such when his family wasn't the cause of their fall? All of the Hudson family was still in shock, but the presence of sean and his thugs still frightens her. Marcus wouldn't intervene; it's none of his business; he already knows what to do; they can fight all they like it's not his business. Lady Charlotte knows she must face this head-on if she shows any sign of fear Sean would take more advantage of them, just like he's doing now.“I'm sorry, I can't accept your condition. We did nothing wrong, Wesley only asked your son for help, and you said he was kicked out of San Yellow Company; however, the same San Yellow Company just awarded us a contract. We are–.”“Shut up, you old witch;
Marcus sent Zachary a message.[I have sent my location to your address.Come immediately. Some people are treating me badly and also make sure you pretend as if you don't know me.] Not long after, Zachary responded.[I'm on my way, young master.] Marcus knows if he says anything now, they might pound on him. He can't fight with them all alone with Zachary coming; they wouldn't dare lay a finger on him. He needs to speak out now, he says.“That will never happen. Hazel is married.” Everyone gazed at Marcus; they couldn't believe what he just said. Who gave him the right to utter such nonsense? Lady Charlotte know the bastard would say something, but it's too late now. He can't do anything at this point because Sean would kill her; she doesn't care anyway. He gazes at Marcus with dead eyes.“Who gives you the right to speak, I have made my decision, and it's final. You are not part of this family; we never acknowledge you as one. Keep your mouth shut and get out of here.” Penelope doe
Marcus and Hazel quickly ran to Ivy, and Marcus raised her up from the ground.“Ivy, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Marcus quickly checked his hands and legs. Even though Penelope hated Marcus so much, she still has a soft spot for Ivy; she is her beloved granddaughter. She was also standing close to Ivy, ensuring she was okay. The rest of the family didn't do anything; they all gazed at Marcus, seeing him in this pain gladden their hearts. Lady Charlotte doesn't care if Ivy lives or dies; she isn't one of them. The daughter of a bastard can't answer the family name; it's better she is no more. That would allow Hazel to come back to her senses. Ivy nods her head.“Yes, I'm okay, but my hand hurts.”“Let me see.” Marcus quickly took a look at Ivy's hands; it was just a little scratch. Penelope and David look relived. Marcus can die, not Ivy; they should kill Marcus instead. The bastard is useless. Hazel raised Ivy up and held her close to herself. Marcus eyes were deadly at that mom
Zachary started squeezing Charle neck.“You bastard, when I'm done with you, next time you will learn how to control your useless mouth.” Charles couldn't say anything at that moment; his face turned red, and veins were popping out of his head. He tried to struggled with Zachary, but he was just too powerless.“sorry.... ” Charles, at that moment, was becoming too weak. Sean's eyes opened wide; he couldn't believe he's going to lose his son in front of him. Sean decided to speak. He knew if he keep quiet his son was going to die. He wanted to understand what Charles did or try to explain what happened, but the look on Zachary's face shown he's not going to listen to him. How his he going to talk to Zachary the must feared man he has ever seen. His heart started beating fast.“Please, sir, don't hurt my son. I'm sorry.”Sean's mouth was open and he couldn't close it at that moment, as Zachary didn't let him finish his statement, as he hit Charles with powerful slaps from different co
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
