Everyone was shocked for some time and didn't know how to react for some time. Even Alfred felt that Mark was going too far even though he didn't say anything and just let him do as he wished.He was sure that Mark wouldn't do anything he was confident in. Reducing the amount to one million was already an insult enough, but then taking it down to five hundred thousand was even worse.But then it seems like he had the confidence to make the head of the families agree to his demands. Well, they were going to watch on. Alfred knew he wouldn't have been able to provoke the man so calmly as Mark did.Mark on the other hand had a smile on his face. He was going to make sure they lost from selling out the companies. He was going to make sure they bleed as much as he could.He wasn't going to leave them until they ran out of blood. It was a pity that he just couldn't finish them off at this moment. Well, he had to take things slow, he couldn't allow them to suspect anything, or else his plan
"Young master." Alfred sighed as he looked at Mark not knowing what to say next.The youngster was just too amazing, he had managed to seal a deal he was having problems with in just over ten minutes. Even though the enmities between the families were there they had to be reversed while conducting business.Neither of the two would accept that they were the cause of the misfortune of the other. So there was nothing to worry about. No matter how much the families were to fight, they were going to laugh and smile at each other in Public.That was the rule and it was cruel as such. If one day the Clarkson family succeeded in eliminating the four families, the higher-ups would cover it up and prevent the ordinary people from knowing the truth.Those who knew the truth would be asked to keep their mouth shut and not to spread unnecessary rumors. While the really powerful ones would know the reason. That was such the way of society.It was the same thing that had happened during the death o
Mark sighed as he walked into DL Motors. He had told Alfred what he wanted to say and the latter had promised to look into the matter. Mark was sure that he was going to get a lead soon so he wasn't worried.Sighing, he walked towards the manager's office. Another matter had been pressing on him and he wasn't sure how to deal with it. The manager had not been able to acquire the remaining thirty percent. Even though he had said that in two months he would be able to acquire, at the rate at which things were going, Mark was somehow convinced that it was going to be impossible.He felt something was going on that he didn't know about so he wanted to have a talk with the manager.He didn't want to disturb Michelle as he was sure that she would be busy. In no time he got to the manager's office.The manager was very surprised when he saw Mark and immediately invited Mark into his office.Mark smiled as he sat down while sipping the coffee the manager had prepared for him. Looking around
Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she stared at Michelle and Mark who were about to enter the restaurant. She wouldn't have seen them if Philip hadn't called her attention to them.Well since they were here, she wasn't too to allow them to have a good time, she would ensure they didn't have a pleasant time here, especially Mark. She had been longing to see him fall from grace. But no matter what she did, she wasn't successful.Mark's expression on the other hand was unnatural, how the hell had they run in Ma'am Elizabeth when they had only come to eat? Mark knew that he was going to have to abolish his plan as there was no way his mother-in-law would allow them to have a nice meal."There you go Michelle, how unfilial have you been, I suddenly lost your contact and yet you forgot about your mother." Ma'am Elizabeth smiled as she approached Michelle with a smile pulling her into a hug.Ma'am Elizabeth's change of attitude had caught him off guard that he didn't know how to react for a second.
"And what do you have to say?" Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she looked at Mark."It's nothing much." Mark shrugged as he stared back at Ma'am Elizabeth.At this moment, he was already done eating and was feeling rather full. He had to thank Ma'am Elizabeth for buying him a meal since he was rather hungry."Are you insane or what?" Ma'am Elizabeth frowned as she stared at Mark.Mark frowned as he stared back at Ma'am Elizabeth wondering where she was trying to head to."How dare you interfere in the talk between me and my daughter?" Ma'am Elizabeth continued as she stared at Mark."I didn't interfere, I just said the truth as it also concerns me." Mark shrugged, not giving in to Ma'am Elizabeth's look."How dare you? Insolent brat?" Ma'am Elizabeth continued."I'm sorry, but you can't take my wife away without her permission, also she said she's not interested in going with you. Also, about you handling the company, I think you have to ask the owner first." Mark shrugged."How dare you s
Ma'am Elizabeth's fade twitched as she watched Michelle and Mark leave. Her face was red from anger, but there was nothing she could do."Curse that child." She muttered angrily under her breath before leaving the restaurant.With her nature, there was no way she was going to forgive Mark easily. Just at that moment, she remembered what Mark said."Ohh I see.... Did my parents die in an accident or someone staged an accident to kill them." Mark's words rang in her head and she couldn't help but shiver.At that moment, she couldn't help but wonder if he knew something she didn't know. There was no way it was possible. Even if he wanted to investigate his parent's death, there was no way the Smiths and the other families involved were going to agree to it.No matter how hard Ma'am Elizabeth thought about it, she just couldn't understand what gave Mark the confidence to utter such words. Could it be that he was trying to see her reaction?She knew that Mark was cunning and that she might
Mark frowned as he picked up his phone wondering why Albert was calling at this time of the night."Young master, I hope you're not asleep yet?" Alfred's voice came just as Make picked up the call."Yeah, I've not fallen asleep.""There's a lead on the investigation and I'm afraid you won't be able to take in the news." Alfred sighed from the other end of the phone.Make took in a deep breath as he waited for Alfred to say what he wanted to say."According to the investigation, the cause of the accident of your parents might be related to your foster mother.""I see," Mark muttered."I'll hang up then." Alfred sighed as he could feel Mark's muffled breathing.Mark on the other hand was deflated the moment he heard the news. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe, but it was too hard to be true.Even though Alfred had only told him that he wasn't sure for the moment and that the investigation was good to continue, he just couldn't understand what was going on.He was sure that Alfred
Alfred sighed as he paced around the mansion not knowing what next to do. Even though he wasn't sure yet. According to the investigation leads, it was his foster mother who was the cause of his parent's accident.He had tried to think about it, but then he just didn't know where to start. Why would the five families join hands with such a small family to wipe them out at that time?They were afraid of something which wasn't clear to Alfred. Also at that time, the power of the Clarkson family was very great and not many could contend with them.But then even at that, the four families weren't able to acquire even one-third of the Clarkson family wealth as Mark's parents were quite wise so even after their death what they were able to get was very limited.The family of Mark's Foster mother was only able to get some company which was why they were not on the scale of the other families, if not, the Clarkson family wealth at that time was enough to push them to the very top and even incr
