Marco hesitated to walk away. He paused when he was sure that the woman in a difficult situation and unconscious was the same woman he would be working with. Miss Wilson closed her eyes and did not realize she was in such a dangerous situation.Marco could not let that happen and turned a blind eye to what he was seeing. So, Marco moved to a more enclosed area to hide for a while. He would observe the situation and find out what was really going on and the purpose of them doing this to Miss Wilson.One of the men girded his loins and ordered his companion, "Quickly put her in the car and take her to the hotel. Our master is waiting. We can't make him angry."The man then shook his head lightly with an artificially concerned face. "It's a pity that this beautiful woman refused to become the boss's mistress. She wouldn't be going through this right now if she was willing. She wouldn't even have to struggle to work. The boss would have filled her account with money. What a stupid woman.
"Who are you? Don't do anything to my body. I don't want this to become a nightmare that will ruin my life," Wilson pleaded with eyes that could not fully open. The woman frowned, looking at Marco with narrowed eyes. She didn't know him and suspected Marco was not friendly.Marco shook his head, raised his hand, and said, "No, I won't do anything to you." Marco tried to speak calmly so that the situation would not worsen. Whatever Wilson was thinking, it certainly didn't bode well for him at the moment.Wilson didn't just take Marco's word for it. The woman pushed Marco's body away. She even held Marco's hand, which was so close to her. The woman shook her head with a look that was not entirely clear.Marco held his hands a little further away from Wilson's body. He looked at the woman calmly. "Calm down, I'm just buttoning your clothes, not opening them."Wilson still shook her head in disbelief. She wondered if this could just be an excuse for the man in front of her to commit immor
"My name is Marco, and I would like to offer you a partnership," said Marco, who was now facing Wilson fully. The woman looked back at him and waited for every sentence Marco would say. It seemed that the man who had helped her was not done talking.Marco said again, "You will be my secretary, or in other words, the second person to the real owner. But, I want your name to be known as the real owner." Marco explained in such concise language. He saw Wilson frowning with a puzzled look in her eyes. Apparently, she thought this was the man who had offered to cooperate with her before. They had an appointment on a cruise ship, which had to be postponed because he had trouble getting there.Marco nodded. The man intertwined his hands on his thighs and explained again, "I want you to handle everything and become known as the owner of my company. Because you're a great woman and very dedicated to your work. Everyone knows you have a very good track record in the business world. No one doubt
Seeing Wilson's coughing fit, Marco immediately helped him by patting his back gently. He looked at Wilson before handing over the now almost cold coffee. Marco waited for Wilson to take a sip first. Afterwards, he asked, "Are you okay?" He was a little worried, considering Wilson had just been assaulted, and this could be one of the side effects the woman had. Or maybe it was the coffee that turned out to be bad, and Wilson didn't like the taste. But that was also unlikely, considering this was one of the most famous coffee brands in the area.Wilson nodded as she caught her breath after a coughing fit that hurt his throat. Now, the woman turned to Marco with wide eyes. She searched and tried to figure out if it was true that Marco was offering such a large salary. It was many times more than her previous salary. This seemed so strange and unreasonable. Was it possible that a company that didn't exist yet could give her such a large salary? In fact, seven million dollars was only gi
Hugo was now hospitalized in a rather sad state. He cannot move carelessly because several parts of his body are dislocated. Apparently, the man who hit him was not playing around and using his power to immobilize Hugo.The man clenched his fists on the bed. He felt so upset with what had happened to him that day. Hugo should be having fun and enjoying Wilson's body, the woman who always refused to be his mistress. In fact, Hugo could give everything to that woman. And now, when Hugo opened his eyes, he found his father sitting next to his bed. Hugo's feelings were getting worse and worse.The old man with white hair leaned back and looked at his son and his weight, "Didn't you almost fuck her? Why did it become like this? Who would do something like this to you?" He asked with a string of sentences that he had been holding back since his son was unconscious.The man let out a long breath. "The guards said you almost managed to fuck him. Is it possible that Wilson himself did this?" h
Wilson felt her head spinning like she was in the middle of the ocean. Her eyes felt very heavy and hard to open. Suddenly, a cold shower hit her. A stream of water poured down from the top of her head, soaking her from head to toe. She was completely shocked and immediately opened her eyes forcefully. Although she had not actually fainted before and was still in a semi-conscious state, it was still a shock to be doused in such a rough manner.Wilson tried to catch her breath as much as possible... The woman opened her eyes and looked around frantically. In front of her eyes, she saw Hugo lying on the hospital bed helplessly. And right next to the bed, an old man stood with a sharp gaze. He looked like he wanted to skin her alive.The woman knew there was trouble here. It had been haunting her ever since the big men had broken into her apartment and forcibly brought her here. This private hospital was owned by Hugo's family and his father, Zein. She was sure that her business about he
Zein snorted. The man looked at Wilson with a face full of suspicion. "So, it's true that you conspired with another man to harm my son." Zein nodded, drawing his conclusions. "Yes, of course, because you're just a weak woman. So there's no way you could have done something like this to my son alone."At first glance, although Wilson was diligent in going to the gym, her son was tougher. She felt even more curious and furious about the man who had helped Wilson. How big of a man could she be to inflict such an injury on her fit son?The old man was now leaning back, his eyes flashing with vengeance. "You see, both you and that guy from your gang are going to be in big trouble. For daring to come into conflict with my son. You will regret this for the rest of your lives." Zein now crossed his legs haughtily. "How many lives do you have to dare mess with a rich and powerful man like me?" The old man hissed, watching Wilson, who remained silent in her chair because she couldn't do anyt
Wilson felt her hands break out in a cold sweat. She felt that this was not the best option. Marco had come with a few people with him. But still, they were entering the cage of a dangerous person with hundreds of people ready to fight. They would definitely be outnumbered and would die in an instant. Although Marco's thinking was good enough by not coming alone, they would be ganged up on and slaughtered entirely in just a few minutes.Zein gritted his teeth. "You're the one who made this commotion? Does that mean you attacked my son?" Zein shouted angrily. The man felt the veins in his neck tighten, feeling so emotional when he saw Marco's face present in Hugo's hospital room.Marco nodded casually to answer Zein's question. "Yes, that's right." Marco lifted his chin towards Hugo and said, "Your son was trying to hurt Miss Wilson. And as a parent, you should be responsible for that."Zein really didn't like the answer Marco gave him. "What a sassy mouth you have. Haven't you ever fe
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
