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
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
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
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
A 28-year-old man was busy fixing the drains at the Reyes family home. Marco is the family's son-in-law but not your typical son-in-law. In addition to working outside, he often does maid work in the house."I always clean this drain regularly. Why is this pipe clogged?" Marco muttered as his hands skillfully loosened the bolts on the water pipe.If anyone saw Marco's skills, they would have thought that Marco was a plumber. His skills in completing home affairs do look like a professional.In the kitchen, Eva laughs at Marco. The woman, who turns 30 this year, has worked with the Reyes family for a long time. She never liked Marco and often laughed at him."If I ever get married, I won't marry a useless person like Marco." Despite her status as a maid, she was brave enough to call Marco by his first name.The Reyes family was not a wealthy one. They didn't even fall into the ranks of the third-rate aristocratic families. However, they were not poor either. They could afford to call a
"Give it to me!" shouted Stefani as she snatched the test from Marco. Marco's brow furrowed. In his heart, he wondered if it was Stefani's.To confirm his concern, Marco asked again. This time with a little more emphasis. "Is that thing yours?"Stefani looked even more panicked. This provoked Marco's anger. The blood in Marco's body seemed to boil. "Stefani, is that thing yours?"Stefani was still silent, and she was downcast. Her eyes looked at the floor with an unfocused gaze.Marco held both of Stefani's arms. His eyes stared intently at Stefani's face, which was still downcast. He tried to make eye contact. "Tell me, is this item yours? Stefani, answer me!"Stefani gasped. The worry on her face disappeared. She now looked angry. "Let go! Let go of me! A useless man like you doesn't deserve to touch me!"Marco gasped in surprise. Stefani had never been rude to him.Stefani continued to shake her hand and made Marco release his grip. Marco's gaze softened. He realized he had been ru
Marco's body jerked in surprise. Hearing Stefani's words, he wanted to vomit blood. It was only a matter of time before his anger exploded."You know, Marco, you're just a trashy guy. I've wasted enough time with you. From now on, I'll live comfortably with Hansel. Living in a mansion and surrounded by expensive things." Stefani's eyes lit up as she said this. She looked pleased and hopeful.Marco shook his head hard. "Does getting you pregnant mean Hansel loves you? Open your eyes, Stefani. He is just using you!""What do you know about this? You are the one who has always been a parasite in my life, Marco. Not Hansel!" Stefani shouted angrily. She pointed at the items attached to Marco's body. "Your clothes, your shoes, the food you eat, they were all bought with the Reyes family's money. Remember that!"What Stefani said was true. Marco could only swallow his anger."What are you waiting for? My daughter has already asked for a divorce from you. Don't worry, we'll take care of the
Marco smiled bitterly. He didn't believe Will's words."You called me young master? You seem to have the wrong person." Marco raised his glass, drank the martini in one gulp, and then finished it. His gaze went to the bottom of the empty glass. "How could someone like me be a Young Master? In fact, throughout my life, there have been too many difficulties."Will pulled out a chair and sat in front of Marco. He looked around, and there were no people in the bar. Maybe it was because it was still daytime, so there were no visitors. He spoke softly, but enough for Marco's ears. "Young Master, as I said, you are the son of the Gallahad family, one of the most powerful families in this land."The Gallahad family was one of the strongest families. Its status was unquestionable. Since several hundred years ago, the Gallahad family has existed and still survived to this day. If there was one clan that had survived so long through the various eras of rule, it meant that they had a solid founda
