Marilyn smiled, feeling flattered.
It was too sudden.
Some said luck was unreliable.
Not so for Marilyn.
"Dad, I'm joking. We'll talk about this later. I hope you and Mom enjoy your vacation. But remember to bring me a gift!" Marilyn said.
To be able to receive a gift from her father, she would be very happy.
"I see, silly girl!"
The two chatted for a bit more before hanging up.
Marilyn looked at the nervous Denise and smiled. "Denise, my dad happens to own this shop. The area is perfect for a barbecue restaurant. The rent is 37,000 dollars a year. But Dad had cut off half of the rent for you this year. So, let's go and take a look, see if you like it!"
Denise was so excited that she was speechless, couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to her.
The rent was indeed expensive!
She didn't have so much money at the moment.
"Lynn, doing business in the nearby night market is a good choice. I ca
Marilyn smiled. "Take care, Mr. Dempsey!""You too!" Edmund smiled gently and turned to leave.Denise looked at everything in the shop. She wouldn't need to worry about her future."Denise, this place is amazing!" Marilyn looked at her happily.Denise looked at her with a grateful smile, "Lynn, I have to thank you for all this! If not for you, I don't know what to do."I don't have the courage. I was afraid that the reality would crush me. But now, I have a friend like you and this shop. I suddenly feel that life is much easier."She was very confident in her skills and she believed she would be successful in her business.Marilyn was instantly relieved!As long as Denise stopped thinking about committing suicide, everything was fine. She could start again.Marilyn used to feel the same, therefore, she understood.She was even more frustrated. Roland and Jeannie tried to persuade her every day.But she didn
He thought, "I can't live without Lynn.I've waited for her for too many years, and it's too long!Thank all of you for taking care of her and the kids."To Malcolm, Lynn was the only girl who made decide him to continue his life. So he could not forget her, and nor did he want to forget her.Roland looked at him with deep anger in his eyes.But Malcolm only put on an elegant smile. "Roland, I can only tell you that I will never hurt Marilyn. This is enough for you to know.""Why should I believe you?" Roland was furious!Malcolm sneered, "Roland, do you have other choices?""I...""Alright, I'm full and I've already said what I needed to say. I'm leaving!" Malcolm got up and gracefully left under Roland's angry gaze.Looking at his back, Roland chased after him with anger."Malcolm, stop right there!"But Malcolm ignored him and continued to walk forward with his hands in his pockets.Roland
When Debbie heard that, she did not feel good. Debbie suddenly said, "I didn't mean that!""Mom, that's exactly what you mean!" Jacob suddenly stopped and looked at his mother angrily.When Debbie saw that, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. Jacob had changed greatly recently.She was afraid to see Jacob now."Jacob, how... How could you talk to me like this?" Debbie was so angry that she looked very somber."Mother, don't go too far!" After Jacob finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and look at Denise again, but because Debbie was there, he didn't turn around.He walked to the garage.Debbie followed him.Along the way, they never said a word.After the dishes were ready, Marilyn chatted while eating."Denise, eat the fish," Marilyn said as she picked up a piece of fish and put it in Denise's bowl."Lynn, thank you so much today," Denise said and smiled gently.Malcolm did not
However, he still cared about everything related to Marilyn, so he investigated her.Malcolm walked back home. He felt heavy inside. Along the way, Roland's words echoed in his mind.Just as Malcolm arrived at the entrance of the villa, he saw a black Audi parked at his door.Under some dim street lights, a lonely figure was leaning against the car, surrounded by smoke.Malcolm recognized that it was Jacob.Malcolm barely restrained all his emotions, and with the usual expression, he walked to the side of Jacob. The closer he got to Jacob, the more he could feel the dense sadness that he exuded."Jacob, what's wrong?" His tone was indifferent as usual.Jacob looked up at him and put out the cigarette in his hand before turning to him again. "Malcolm, I saw Denise go to dinner with you tonight. Do you know her?"Malcolm glanced at him, and then he slowly retracted his gaze. He said in a faint tone, "She's Marilyn's friend. We ca
Julian suddenly frowned and asked seriously, "The Lakeside District?""Exactly!" Malcolm nodded.Julian took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Didn't we bid on that piece of land before? But then we realized that it was unprofitable and gave up on it, right? Why did the Remington family decide to buy the land over there?"Malcolm shook his head slightly and his gaze turned cold as he said, "I don't know. I just heard it from Jacob last night.""Well..." Julian frowned."Could it be that Ms. Remington insisted on buying it?" Julian knew that Debbie had been working very hard these years."I don't know. That's why I asked you to check." As Malcolm spoke, he walked back to his office chair, turned on his computer, and prepared for today's routine meeting.Julian sighed and threw his phone onto the sofa. Then he leaned lazily on the sofa as he looked at Malcolm's enchanting face with a faint gaze."The Remington famil
Velma thought, "Malcolm treats Marilyn so well."Malcolm looked back at Zoe, who had already stood up from the ground. Malcolm was very angry now!Zoe had never expected that Malcolm would suddenly appear here.Zoe's face was pale, and she even felt that she was trembling."Mr. ... Mr. Lowe, I'm sorry. I ... I didn't do it on purpose? I accidentally slipped." Zoe stammered with a trembling voice.Malcolm looked at Zoe with anger.He sneered and said word by word, "Of course, you didn't do it on purpose. You did it deliberately.""No, no, no." Zoe quickly shook her head.Malcolm snorted and glanced at Velma, who was not far away.Velma suddenly felt Malcolm's gaze. She was also stunned. Velma wondered why Malcolm looked at her with such a kind of gaze?Marilyn, who had calmed down, suddenly realized what happened just now. She also looked at Velma coldly.Marilyn thought of the talk between Sandy and Velma o
Marilyn walked to Malcolm's office with the lunch box.Marilyn was very grateful for what happened that day. If Malcolm hadn't protected her, Marilyn would have been lying in the hospital in pain.However, when Marilyn reached the door of Malcolm's office, Marilyn was a little hesitant.Marilyn stood in place for a full three minutes before helplessly throwing away all the bad thoughts in her mind.Marilyn raised her hand and knocked on the office door."Come in!" The hoarse voice carried a charm.The moment Marilyn heard this voice, she inexplicably tensed up.Marilyn pushed the door open and entered. Marilyn saw that Malcolm had just finished bathing.The expensive handmade shirt had not been buttoned up yet.Marilyn looked at his hair, which was slightly dripping with water, exuding a deadly charm.Marilyn's eyes widened and she quickly turned around.Malcolm looked at her back and smiled.Malcolm
"Ms. Chapman, you didn't hear anything, did you?" He prayed that she didn't hear anything."Well..." Marilyn smiled mischievously."I'm sorry, Mr. Munoz. I heard every single word.""What?" Julian was so shocked that he shrunk by half. Marilyn was amused by his frightened look.Julian felt her words fall heavily on his ears, numbing his soul.He swallowed hard and took a deep breath. Then, he looked at Marilyn with a smile on his face, saying, "Ms. Chapman, could you just forget it? Just treat it as a spring breeze, and let it come and go as it does."Julian didn't know why Marilyn was there.He thought she was eating in the canteen at this time.Julian was so helpless.He was always unlucky.Marilyn looked at him with a smile and teased, "Mr. Munoz, how could you forget what you just heard?"She had long known that there was something wrong with Velma.But Marilyn could only blame Zoe, who was willi
Jacob looked at him doubtfully. That night, he and Dominic met Malcolm in the Lakeside District.Jacob said, "You're asking me who was the legal person from before?"Malcolm said, "Yes, that was what I asked you back then, but Dominic was unwilling to answer this question. Now, can I ask you who is the legal person of that land?"When Jacob heard this, he instantly became nervous. Could it be that they had misjudged this time? Did they believe the wrong person?Malcolm looked at Debbie and his heart ached for her. 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
In Marilyn's opinion, the entire real estate industry was lucrative.Edmund smiled and said, "Miss, you might not believe me if I tell you the truth."Marilyn also smiled, "Call me Lynn. 'Miss' makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I want to call you Edmund."Edmund was slightly stunned and replied kindly, "Alright, Lynn."Marilyn said, "Then tell me, Edmund! 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. She asked curiously, "Because it will make the whole thing not harmonious and balanced enough?"Edmund answered, "Sort of. It's an open secret for those who are familiar with
Edmund was alienating Debbie and she felt ridiculous. She asked curiously, "Where are you going?"The price of the land Debbie bought was very high, and she regretted buying it. Now she had financing difficulty and she had to find an investor!Debbie thought Bradley was the best investor!Debbie had asked Bradley several times, but he refused to see her. In the past few days, she has been looking for opportunities to meet him.Last time Debbie came to see Malcolm for this, but because she hit Marilyn, Malcolm didn't want to help her.Edmund said indifferently, "Mrs. Remington, it seems unnecessary for us to tell you where we are going. We have things to do. We will leave first."Then Edmund looked at Marilyn gently.Marilyn nodded and got in the car.Edmund returned to the driver's seat. Just as he was about to get in the car, Debbie said with a sad expression, "Mr. Dempsey, can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Greer? I
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?" Marilyn said impatiently.Velma looked at Marilyn suspiciously and said, "Marilyn, you are allergic to mangoes and spinach, aren't you?"Velma had always suspected that she made a mistake, but she did not know what was wrong with it.Two paternity tests showed that Marilyn was not Debbie's daughter, but Velma still suspected Marilyn.Malcolm's attitude was abnormal, so Velma was even more confused.When Marilyn heard this, she thought of Velma's paternity test. She asked, "Why do you want to know about this?""You don't need to know why. You just have to answer my question." Velma looked at Marilyn arrogantly.Marilyn glanced at her and did not speak.Marilyn thought, 'Is Velma doubti
Roland said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Greer. I toast this glass of wine to you!"The two of them clinked glasses happily and drank the wine in one gulp.Elvira looked at the two of them and smiled. She didn't ask about Margie. She was worried that if asked, Marilyn would have no appetite. She always eats like a bird.Elvira wanted to ask her after dinner.After one glass of wine, Roland picked up the wine bottle again and poured two full glasses of wine.Marilyn saw it and said, "Roland, are you trying to get my father drunk? Drinking is harmful to the body. Besides, you have work tomorrow."Bradley laughed. "Don't worry, Lynn. Dad has a high tolerance for alcohol. I'm so happy tonight. Let's drink some more!"Roland also said, "Lynn, you don't have to worry about me. I also have a high tolerance for alcohol. You knew that. Moreover, I am delighted tonight. I must drink a few more glasses!"Roland said, raising his glass and cli
Denise, who was at the side, said, "Lynn, Elvira, Dominic, you haven't had dinner yet. Have dinner first!"Hearing this, Marilyn looked at her and smiled, "Denise, I feel hungry now that you reminded me. But let's wait a little longer. Dad should be back soon.""Alright!" Denise also looked at her and smiled warmly.Marilyn could not help but smile a lot more sweetly!She said, "Denise, you have been tired all day. Go get some rest!"Denise shook her head and said, "Lynn, I'm not tired. Now I have some people to help me, I will have a lot of spare time. I can also be at ease and come back early!"Marilyn asked, "Business must be good, right?"Denise smiled and said, "Lynn, this is all thanks to your family. That position is good and business is good!"She had business to do and earned a lot every day, so she felt lovely!Now she only hoped that the baby in her belly could grow up healthily!Marilyn smiled. "That's
"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. He knew Malcolm would never joke about that.Sergio lowered his head and looked at the beer on the table. He then also picked up a glass of beer. He drank half of it. The alcohol cleared his mind.After finishing a glass of beer, Sergio had one more.He smiled at Malcolm. "Congratulations, Malcolm!"Malcolm held the beer in his hand and leaned against the sofa. He looked at Sergio with a smile. "Thank you!"Sergio said, "I know you will never lie to me!"Malcolm said, "Of course, my friend!"They smiled at each other and drank another mouthful of beer.The lights shone on their faces, making them look more handsome.Sometimes alco
"I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it tomorrow." With that, Malcolm walked towards the refrigerator.Malcolm took out a few cans of beer, placed them on the table, and looked at Sergio.Malcolm said, "I want to drink more! 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. He felt a mixture of emotions."So, these few days y
Marilyn clenched the steering wheel.Speaking of Malcolm, she remembered something else.After this matter about Margie was over, she would investigate it in person. She wouldn't stop until she figured it out.She did not get any useful information from Margie. At this moment, even if she was unwilling to give up, there was no other way.After Margie's matter was over, she would continue her investigation.If there was a chance, she would meet Margie.She would feel better making it clear.Since Marilyn did not answer her, Laverne felt bored. She hugged her knees with both hands and leaned against the car seat, looking at the traffic stream in front of her."Mom, why aren't you talking? Don't you like Malcolm?" Laverne could not help but ask again.Marilyn smiled. "Laverne, there are many kinds of love. Which kind do you want mommy to have for Malcolm?"When Laverne heard this, she showed interest with a smile on
