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
Marco was shocked. He was shocked. It was like fireworks were exploding in his mind. It was shocking but also exciting.He never thought that Will could do this. Marco was both surprised and delighted. He called the bartender and asked, "Where's Will?""Will will be down in a moment, Master." The bartender said politely.Just as the bartender had said, before long, Will was downstairs. However, he wasn't wearing bartender clothes. He was wearing casual clothes. Will stood in front of Marco."How, Master, do you now believe?" Will asked.Marco smiled slightly. His eyes sparkled, and he looked enthusiastic. "How did you do it? This is a huge case, and you only need half an hour to solve it."Will looked relieved. With Marco responding like that, it meant that Marco was satisfied. He practised saying humbly. "It's all because of the Gallahad family, Master. We will teach a lesson to everyone who dares to insult a Galahad. Do you now believe that you are from the Gallahad family?"Marco s
Marco looked at the person who seemed to be talking to him. His face turned sour when he saw Stefani holding a man. A man who was neither himself nor Hansel Burton. There was a slight pain in Marco's chest, but he quickly brushed it off. Everything about him and Stefani was in the past.Meanwhile, Stefani held tightly to a man's hand, both of them approaching Marco."What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" Stefani shouted.Marco scratched his itchy cheek. "This is a clothing store. Everyone is free here. No one can forbid it. If I knew we would meet, I would try hard to go. Even if it requires me to go to a more expensive store.""Excuses. You just want to stalk me, right?" Stefani sneered."Why would I follow you around? It's like you're the only woman left. Especially a woman who likes to change partners like you. I'm so sick of it."Marco waved his hand. He turned around and left Stefani. Marco walked to a row of casual clothes that suited his taste. He picked one up and loo
At that moment, Stefani laughed amusedly. She didn't expect Marco to make such a joke. Stefani's face turned red from laughing too much. She sneered cruelly. "Marco, you're right. This must be a fake black card, right? A tramp like you is so smart to think of something like that."A low sigh escaped Marco's mouth. He raised the black card until it was level with his face. "This card is real."The card was dove black in color with an elegant gold pattern. Marco's name was printed on the corner of the card. Marco pointed at it. "This is my card. My name is written here."Stefani's face became ugly. This was the worst joke she had ever received. "Marco, if you're going to lie, don't lie to me. Your name is Marco, but your last name doesn't start with a G. You're Marco Santana."Stefani suddenly covered her mouth. "Oops... I let it slip. I'm sorry for revealing your secret!"She smiled, but it was evident that Stefani was mocking Marco.The corners of Marco's lips twitched. He didn't know
