Between Love and Scandal 53. Confide In Me?
"Oh, I know you. The look on your face says it all." Aileen explained. After all, this wasn't the first time Mark had been like this, and she understood.Mark looked down deeply. "Hmm, what do you think? What am I supposed to do when everything I have is slipping out of my hands?"Aileen paused. "There are many options. One, you can start over. Second, you can keep it. Third, you could be down for a while.""How long?""Depends on your power level."Mark smiled. This girl was brilliant; she could think of anything, read everything and understand it quickly."By the way, what's wrong with you?"Mark leaned back on the garden chair and stared at the white clouds above. He tried to formulate a short sentence to explain his situation."My current dad is not my real dad. They took care of me at the orphanage when I was ten years old. We have a younger sister called Lisa. Because we had always obeyed her wishes for a long time, there was a misunderstanding between her and me." Pause."This
Between Love and Scandal 54. Outburst of Emotions
Mark drove home with his emotions running high. Lucas couldn't do this to him just because he hadn't accepted Lisa. He moved his car at a fast pace to get there as quickly as possible. On the porch, the man with a cross face between Francis and American sat quietly, enjoying a cup of tea. It was as if nothing had happened. Mark quickly approached the man, grabbed the cup from Lucas' hand, and glared at him."What do you mean you blocked all my cards?" Mark clenched his fists.Lucas still stared nonchalantly at Mark's red face."Are you stupid? I didn't cancel your cards. I didn't have the right. Our father did." Lucas took the teacup back from Mark's hand and sipped at it calmly."Yeah, and you told Dad to do it, didn't you?" Mark snapped.Lucas let go of the cup a little roughly. The next second, he laughed eerily. A mocking grin that made Mark even more apoplectic."Why, it wasn't yours to begin with. And you want to hear the other good news?" Lucas scoffed.This time, he got up fro
Between Love and Scandal 55. New Beginning
Mark left Howard's house with only a few dollars in cash. Fortunately, it was enough for Mark to rent a cheap inn for at least the next few nights. He couldn't walk any further with his suitcase. Mark turned a deaf ear to Lucas' repeated calls for him when he decided to leave and refuse Lucas' offer. He already didn't care what the man said. Sacrificing his own feelings just for money? Ha, absolutely ridiculous.If Mark's hard work for the Howard family company was not appreciated, then there was no point in staying. He had not been a member of their family from the beginning. Even this time, Mark seemed to be disregarded simply because he didn't share Lisa's feelings. For God's sake, Mark loved Lisa. But this wasn't the kind of affection he felt. Lisa would be his little sister and would never change.Mark would genuinely be someone else in the Howard family. He managed to stay out of Lucas' way, even though he had to give up all his hard work. Sometimes, he wondered if he was missin
Between Love and Scandal 56. A Force of Suicide
Lisa wiped the tears from her eyes. It felt like she couldn't even see clearly anymore because she cried too much. Her whole life seemed to crumble because Mark kept rejecting her feelings. Why was it always like this? Why couldn't Mark make her feel the same way? Lisa had just been holding a sharp black pen in her hand as she stared out the window of her room. Her whole body seemed to be out of order. Lisa had no appetite and could not sleep properly. Lisa just wanted Mark all to herself."I really don't deserve you, do I?" Lisa muttered to herself.Lisa closed the bedroom window. She picked up the carving knife from her drawer, which was actually one of her crafting tools. The shine of the sharp blade looked enticing. Lisa had done this many times before, but this time, it would definitely not be felt.Lisa wrote a short message on a piece of paper. It was just an apology to her family and to Mark. She was also grateful for everything she had received so far. If she couldn't get Mar
Between Love and Scandal 57. Revenge
"Son of a bitch!"Lucas, who had been harboring so much anger, pulled Mark's collar as soon as he saw his face."This is all because of you, Mark!" Lucas shouted angrily.Mark, who had just arrived in a state of panic and exhaustion, couldn't keep up with Lucas' anger."Stop, Ed! I'm not here to argue with you.""Then let's go outside. Let's fight outside."Mark snorted with hate. He struggled to break Lucas' grip on his collar. Was Lucas not thinking? They were in the hospital's waiting room. Making a scene in the hospital would disturb others."It's all because of you! Lisa's like this because of you!"Mark felt guilty. Of course, he was concerned about Lisa. He knew Lisa loved him dearly, and Mark also tried very hard to make her understand that not everything she wanted in this world would always be within her grasp. Unfortunately, Lisa couldn't accept that fact. Lisa couldn't accept that Mark only thought of her as a sister.Why had Mark's life become such a mess? His brotherhood
Between Love and Scandal 58. Drowning in Busyness
"It's been a busy day," Aileen complained quietly.Aileen let out a long sigh. She had a lot of work to do today. The watch on her left wrist showed almost midnight. Aileen usually got home late.The taxi that Aileen had booked to take her home had informed her that it was on its way to her apartment. It was only a few minutes before midnight. Aileen wanted to go home right away and clean her sticky body, which had been sticky from working overtime."Please, Miss."Aileen see in a confuse, because he is not the usual driver who pick her up."Oh, Mr. Tom has a family matter, so he can't drive the cab for a few days."Aileen nodded and quickly got into the cab. This time, the driver looked much younger than Mr. Tom, though he still looked like a man in his thirties.Usually, Aileen had many conversations with Mr. Tom during the ride. The old man had been Aileen's regular for a long time. Aileen could drive, but she was often tired after work, so she preferred to call a taxi. Driving whi
Between Love and Scandal 59. Lisa vs Aileen
“What exactly did Mark see in you?”Aileen's face was being pulled violently. Aileen had to keep following the direction of the pulling so that her neck would not hurt. She don't know how many times she had to do this.“Who are you?”“Stay away from Mark from now on.”Aileen was shocked. “Who are you? How do you know Mark?”“That's not important. I'm just telling you to stay away from Mark. Don't you dare go near him.”Aileen needed help understanding. Who exactly was this person, and what was his relationship with Mark? Why should Aileen stay away from Mark? Why would she be kidnapped just to be warned to stay away from Mark?“Let me go!”“Under the circumstances, you still have the courage to talk, huh?”“What is your relationship with Mark?”The sound of the man's laughter sent shivers down Aileen's spine. Aileen still couldn't make out exactly who had kidnapped her and warned her to stay away from Mark. The blindfold was put on deliberately so that Aileen wouldn't recognize her ab
Between Love and Scandal 60. The Covenant
Who are you?Mark asked the voice immediately.All sorts of wrong assumptions were already running through his mind. Oh dear! Has Aileen been kidnapped again? Is this girl a regular kidnapper, or what? He thought, almost in frustration.The voice on the other side kept chuckling in a triumphant tone. Mark was so angry that he shouted unthinkingly at the person on the other end of the line.“Where's Aileen? Answer me!”“Calm down, sir. Everything is fine. The girl's still in one piece for the time being.I can't be sure...”“HEY! Don't you dare put your filthy hands on Aileen! Otherwise, I'll remove your hand by myself!Out of your body! Do you hear me?” Mark snapped again.“The problem is that I am in a position to bluff here, sir. And I can assure you that this girlwill not survive if you dare to call the police or do anything beyond what I tell you to do.”The man's heavy voice returned Mark's bluff quite casually.“Tell me what you want, you bastard,” Mark shouted as he squeezed h
