Sergio opened the door for Marilyn gentlemanly.

So Marilyn thanked him and got in the car.

Sergio started the car and waited for Malcolm.

Malcolm's voice on the phone was relatively loud. He seemed to be very angry.

There isn't much time left for us to settle down on everything related to the kids' schooling."All kinds of documents are required in the relevant procedure.

This time, she seemed to be treated by her friend.Malcolm said faintly, "The person who bought this land is the cousin of Mrs. Remington's friend's husband. The two of them bought this land together, but after buying it, they found that no matter what they built, they would not be able to earn money. Moreover, they invested a lot of money in it, and the bank loan is even more difficult to get. The industry insiders are extremely secretiv

I will believe whatever you tell me!""Great! Then the truth is that your father cares about the unity of buildings and the surroundings very much. He wants his buildings to be harmonious and comfortable for the residents, the building itself, and the nearby environment.Do you know why there aren't buildings more than ten stories tall along Lakeside District?"It was surprising and fresh for Marilyn.

    Marilyn looked at Velma coldly. Her eyes were pure and calm. "Why should I tell you? It's not your business. Get out of my way!""Marilyn, I won't let you go!" Velma looked at Marilyn and said stubbornly."What the hell do you want?"

    "Malcolm, are you kidding?" Sergio looked at Malcolm in disbelief.Malcolm frowned and glared at Sergio. He thought it seemed to be wrong to tell Sergio these things."If you don't believe me, you can leave now!"With that, Malcolm sipped beer.Sergio became serious.

Let's go!"Sergio glanced at the beer on the table and shook his head. "That's enough for me!""Then let's talk!" Malcolm sat next to Sergio.Malcolm didn't like alcohol. These beers were bought by Julian.Julian had bought them in case visitors like himself wanted to have a drink."About what?" Sergio looked at Malcolm calmly.Neither of them was talkative. It was hard for them to start a conversation.Malcolm thought for a moment and said, "Sergio, I love Lynn very much. I'll prove it with actions."The look in Sergio's eyes changed. Sergio quietly stared at Malcolm without saying anything.Malcolm continued, "I will marry her!""I know," Sergio replied faintly with his head lowered to hide his expression.
