Instantly, everyone fell silent, looking at each other in surprise. Of course, everyone recognized the man. He was Don, the manager of the True Home Inn that Marco had said he was staying at two days ago. And if that man called Marco sir, even bringing him a new access card, this could only mean one thing. It was about Marco's position that he was staying at the super expensive inn.Seeing this extremely confusing situation, Agnes naturally made the first move. The woman cleared her throat and spoke in such a soft voice. "Sir, you look so panicked, what's wrong?" Agnes' heart beat faster, half hoping that her guess was wrong. If it turned out that Marco had such an important position, then she might get into trouble.Don chuckled a little, then inclined his head slightly towards Marco. "Yes, this Mr. Marco owns the most expensive building here. The status is more than VVIP, and I feel very panicked about being late in handling her complaint." The man said this was no big deal, and eve
Agnes was terrified when she heard Marco's rebuttal. She felt her knees trembling, and her vision was becoming unfocused. The woman swallowed repeatedly, thinking of the money she had spent to stay here. Her entire savings had been drained just to be on the island of Valoria. If she were kicked out, one of her dreams would be dashed. Meeting great and famous people would only be her wishful thinking. It would all be gone in an instant.Agnes had not gone here for no purpose or just for a vacation. She had nothing to lose if all her money was gone, but she could meet a bigger man. It would be a guarantee for her later life. Agnes was sure she wasn't bad and could attract people's attention.And if she got kicked out, her depleted savings wouldn't provide any security. Her life was going to be difficult, and she had nothing left. Agnes hasn't even found a great guy yet. She was still with Dion, which was not enough, and it would be sad if she didn't get more.Finally, after taking a dee
It was already noon when Marco came out of his room. Wearing casual shoes and a white short-sleeved shirt, Marco locked his room. He then put his access card into his wallet, this time making sure that it wouldn't get lost again.After making sure that he had the card along with his wallet and cell phone, Marco walked into the elevator to go down to the first floor. Just then, midway through the ride, someone stopped the elevator and entered. Marco didn't know that he was Don, the manager of the inn he was staying at.Upon entering, Done looked up at Marco and bowed politely. "Good afternoon, Mr. Marco." Then, the man came to stand side by side with Marco in the elevator."Sir, I'm really sorry for what happened to you this morning. I really didn't expect that to happen," Don said in such a polite tone. The man even bowed slightly to remain in a respectful position towards Marco.Afterward, Don cleared his throat and licked his lips. He was a little insecure about having to face Marco
"Just shut your useless mouth, or do you want me to crush you until you can't talk and complain? I told you, you'll be my bitch. Do you understand?" asked Johny noisily. The man pointed at Marco with his hand and tried to intimidate him with his fierce face. It didn't look natural. His figure looked so frustrated.Even as he was about to hit Marco, Johny caught himself and shouted, "Damn it! Why did you even show up in front of me, anyway? Don't you have a brain? A rich man like you understands what it's like to be penniless!" He ruffled his hair roughly, almost as if he was grabbing it himself.Without even asking, Marco clearly knew what happened to this obscure man before him. He has a big problem that can't be solved by himself. It was obvious from her babbling that she was sounding more and more nonsensical and drifting back and forth like she was delirious.Marco stared at her flatly, listening to all the pointless cursing. "You should think before you do something."Johnny snor
"How could you say such a thing? I told you everything." Johnny could not accept the fact that Marco's response was so annoying. He had expressed his grievances that not everyone had the right to know, but Marco casually acted like it was all very normal. Rasnaya was both disappointed and offended at the same time.Marco looked at him so flatly. "You're pathetic because you focus too much on things that you should leave behind like that." Marco could even see that Johnny could not accept the reality that was displayed in front of his eyes. He shouldn't just be stressed and thinking about things. There were many things to do as a man. He should try to keep his life from becoming monotonous and miserable.Johnny sighed again, this time longer and sounding desperate. "Yes, because that's all I can do. There is nothing else." His face looked so confused, repeatedly breathing in and out like it was the only thing he could do to reduce his stress. In fact, his stress is also not getting les
Marco sat in his work chair with one leg crossed. He seemed to be checking some work reports sent through his email. In fact, besides Wilson, there was also the topmost sign that the woman had just sent a weekly report for their company to evaluate. There was even a report of an employee candidate interviewing in two days. Marco kept checking to ensure they were not missed with a fake identity.And now, the door of the room was knocked from outside. Will entered and bowed respectfully. "Good afternoon, Mr. Marco. I came with the report you requested," the man said and approached. Marco nodded and let Will turn on the tablet the man had used for work.The man seemed to search for something briefly before blinking briefly. He selected a few images to show and made a report based on the spy they sent yesterday.Then, Will cleared his throat. "There was an incident at Shallow Mud cafe yesterday afternoon." Marco didn't glance at him and just listened to Will give the report. Marco is also
Marco had just woken up from his sleep a few minutes ago. The man was still on the bed and staring at the ceiling of his room. Will had left early in the morning because Marco had given him three urgent tasks that needed to be done immediately. Since the place was quite far away, to ensure he was not late, Will left before Marco woke up with everything the man needed ready.While Marco was still enjoying his time to collect his thoughts, suddenly, the bell in his house rang repeatedly and very quickly. At first, Marco didn't want to pay attention to him, as he was still not fully awake.But then, as the bell rang impatiently, Marco sat up with his eyebrows knitted together. The man stared at the door to his room with annoyance. "Who's visiting so early?" he muttered, looking out the window to see that the sun wasn't fully up yet.Marco let out a long breath. "It's so rude to make a scene this early morning." He thought it was one of his servants doing their duty. It was very annoying
Marco gave a flat look. "Of course, I know you are from the Brown family." Marco did not recognise who they were at first, as he had just woken up. However, after a few minutes of conversation, he remembered who these men and women in front of him were, who were being so rude and disturbing his quiet time in the morning.Hearing this, Christine naturally snorted. "If you knew we were from the Brown family, you should have stepped aside. It's early, you know!" He ignorantly chased away Marco, who was the host."It's time for me to have a nice time over there," the woman added again. She had even imagined sitting on the balcony enjoying the morning view with a glass of hot tea. The air smelled refreshing, and it relaxed her.Marco wanted to roll his eyes in disgust. The behaviour of these two people really couldn't be reasoned with properly. "You guys are foolish. Of course, I know because I made a deal with your father."With annoyance in his eyes, Marco made sure the two of them looke
The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have
Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw
And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w
And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a
Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can
The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
A warm puff of water with a refreshing citrus scent filled Marco's en suite bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water and almost full of foam. While Marco, the man, sat in his natural state with his head resting on the edge of the bath. Classical music played softly and pampered the ears.In Marco's hand, a glass of red wine accompanied his relaxing time. The man closed his eyes with his head, looking up at the bathroom ceiling. He had drunk almost two glasses of alcohol, so no doubt, his mind was flying into the clouds. But amazingly, Marco still knew he could not fall asleep in the bathroom.Marco let out a long sigh and got up from the bath. He grabbed a towel and moved to enter the room after rinsing himself with warm water from the shower.The sound of the door moving open could be heard from the room, along with an incoming message on Marco's cell phone. The man moved closer and opened it. It was a message from one of his good acquaintances. "Oh, what's wrong?" he muttered cur
The staff at Horizon Edge's capital branch company gathered at the entrance in a row. They all straightened their clothes and put on their best smiles, waiting for someone to arrive in a few minutes.When a black SVU car stopped in front of the company's door, and a person with shiny shoes emerged, the staff instantly put on their brightest faces. Everyone bowed deeply, waiting for the figure to enter and pass them all."Welcome, Mr. Marco," they said almost simultaneously. No one dared to raise their face when Marco's figure passed by, and they were still bowing deeply until Marco entered through the main door.One of the staff at the far end immediately followed Marco's lead and accompanied him to the elevator. "Good morning, Mr. Marco. We are truly delighted to have you here today. We are truly honoured that you would let us know in advance."While the manager managing the recruitment of new staff also approached, the man smiled broadly and showed a friendly face. "We've heard all
Hearing so many questions and sounding quite disorganised, Marco raised his hand to signal the reporters to hold back for a moment. The camera flashes continued to rain down on him rapidly as Marco took a deep breath. He remained calm and controlled the situation well."Please calm down," Marco said, referring to the reporters bombarding him with endless questions. And right at that moment, the noise from the questions that kept coming back and forth slowly decreased little by little. Before the end, there was only the running footage to record the events in the hotel hall.When all the reporters were under control, Marco looked up at the faces now, watching him intently. "All this time, I've been doing my work elsewhere, which is just as important as the work in the family company.""As for the business I just did, I'm quite fond of it outside of family matters. And about the hidden identity, we are waiting for the right time to share this good news with everyone," Marco added.The m
