"Roland, Roland..." Marilyn shouted anxiously. But Roland had hung up.
Marilyn's face instantly paled. She never wanted to hurt Roland.
Never!
She did not expect that today's news would hurt him so much. She had always thought that Roland was a mature man, who had been clear about their relationship.
But...
Marilyn's heart was filled with bitterness. The complicated feeling made her tremble.
She picked up the cold water on the table and took a few sips to wake herself up.
Malcolm answered the phone and came back.
He had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Dominic had called to ask about Marilyn. This kid had always been worried about Marilyn!
When Marilyn saw Malcolm return, she restrained her emotions.
The Malcolm she saw in her eyes was different from the Malcolm in the eyes of others.
So Marilyn wanted to shake off everything and enjoy the feeling of having a boyfriend!
She had a good time t
Marilyn held her phone and lay on the soft bed before checking the text.It was a work report from Alaina.Alaina reported the progress of work every day so that when Marilyn went back, it would be much easier!Marilyn smiled and replied, "Thank you".Just as Marilyn was about to put down her phone, she got another message.With one look, her face changed."Ms. Chapman, I accidentally bumped into Velma today and knocked the documents in her hand to the ground. I saw a paternity test report with your and Mrs. Remington's names on it, but I did not see the result."This confirmed Marilyn's guess during the day.Was it really her?Perhaps she had guessed it during the day, so at this moment, she was not as surprised and painful.Marilyn replied to Alaina, "Alaina, thank you. Please keep this a secret for me. Don't tell anyone about it yet!"Alaina quickly replied, "Ms. Chapman, don't worry! I won't tell anyone
Hearing Roland's words, Marilyn was slightly stunned. She thought that he had come here to question her about why she was with Malcolm.However, Roland's apology made her feel even more guilty!Marilyn quietly looked at him and smiled faintly, "Roland, I won't take what you said and did yesterday seriously.But I have to make my attitude clear. You know, your life is brilliant and limitless, and you are worthy of a better girl."Marilyn's tone sounded sad. Roland was a perfect candidate for a boyfriend or even a husband. He was so trustworthy that a woman could spend the rest of her life with him without worries.But Marilyn knew that she was not the woman who could grow old together with him.Roland understood what Marilyn was thinking. He had known her for seven years, and he understood her completely.He smiled bitterly and looked at her with clear eyes. "Lynn, I don't care. My parents and my sister don't care, either. I like your
Marilyn turned back to look at Roland. She put on a smile that looked a little strange. "Roland, did you come prepared?"Roland smiled mischievously. "Lynn, have I ever come to your house with nothing?"Marilyn nodded seriously. "No. And I've never been polite with you and taken all of the things you bought!"Every time Roland came, he would buy vegetables or daily necessities, and Marilyn wouldn't let him bring them back.Thus, every time she went to his house, she would also bring him bags of things in return.Roland looked at her confused look, which was much better than that when she was crying."Lynn, hurry up and cook. I'll go play games with Dominic." Roland said. Then he got up and went downstairs. Now that things were settled, Marilyn would no longer be bothered in her heart, and their relationship remained the same as before. Roland was relieved.Marilyn smiled faintly and returned to her room to change.When she reac
"Good morning, Ms. Chapman!" Julian greeted her with a smile. He looked at her plain dress and her pair of ethereal eyes. She was very stunning and innocent.But he had been suffering these days because she had offended someone intimidating beside him."Good morning, everyone!" Marilyn said.Sergio looked at her with deep eyes, while Malcolm looked at her gently. Terence's line of sight, however, was full of inquiry.No one paid attention to Velma, who was standing at the side."Ms. Chapman!" Alaina smiled as she ran over from the distance.Seeing that Malcolm and the others were there, Alaina immediately nodded and greeted them, "Good morning, Mr. Lowe, and you guys!"The four nodded.The elevator arrived. Marilyn said, "Alaina, let's go!""Velma."Marilyn was about to leave when she suddenly heard Debbie's voice. Marilyn was slightly startled. She instantly stopped and did not move forward.Alaina glanced
When Marilyn heard this, she smiled and said, "Roland, I don't have that much ambition. I just want to know where she took me away from."Back then, it was indeed Margie who hit me and took me away. I only found out about this later."Marilyn thought of what Margie had just said. Margie said, "Marilyn, I know that you hate me. You hate me for treating you like that back then. There is nothing I can do about it. People are selfish. You are not my biological child. Why should I treat you well?"This was your fate. You should accept it."Now you have attached yourself to Malcolm, the richest guy in Fielddell. Do you want him to avenge you?"Those words were hurtful.How could Margie say "This is your fate. You should accept it"?Her life was up to her, so why should she accept her fate?Roland's voice rang out, "Lynn if you put it that way. I have an idea."Marilyn said, "Roland, tell me!""Lynn, Margie is in a panic
Malcolm looked at Marilyn and Sergio. Then he said, "Terence, faster.""Alright!" Terence nodded. Normally, Terence would probably tease Malcolm, but today, Terence was especially sorry for Malcolm. So Terence kept silent.Seeing the helpless Malcolm, Terence felt sad. It was as if something was stuck in his throat.In the Lowe Group.Julian called two security guards in and let them bring Sandy out.Ignoring her image, Sandy struggled and shouted, "Julian, let them release me. I just splashed some juice on Marilyn. What crime did I commit? Why did you send me to the police station? Let me go! Let me go!"Sandy shouted crazily.All the people looked at her and whispered.Velma narrowed her eyes and thought, "Is Marilyn Chapman Marilyn Chambers?"Marilyn was taken away by Malcolm just now. So Velma didn't know whether she was allergic or not.Julian leisurely followed behind them and casually said, "Sandy, you want
Malcolm waved at Terence and said, "Leave now. Don't get in my way here!""You!" Terence was furious. Malcolm could make people crazy every time.Terence was not as patient as Julian, who could endure Malcolm's temper. Malcolm could make people angry at any time."Leave now! Don't stand in my way!" Malcolm said again.Malcolm didn't want to see anyone now, nor did he want to talk to anyone. He just wanted to be alone for a moment!"You are a bastard! You should live alone, and you should be single for a lifetime. With such a bad temper, any woman can't stand you!" Terence couldn't hold his anger any longer. As he finished speaking, he saw Malcolm's increasingly gloomy face. He rolled his eyes and ran out quickly.He almost bumped into a nurse walking toward him.Malcolm glared at his back, becoming more and more gloomy.He raised his beautiful chin slightly, closed his eyes, and leaned against the wall in pain.As soon a
It was Elvira."Hello, mom!" Her voice was a little weak."Lynn, which hospital are you in? I am going to take care of you." Elvira was worried."Mom, you are back. How did you know I was in the hospital?" Marilyn frowned."Lynn, I just got home. Your father and I will come to see you now. Tell me which hospital you are in."Marilyn did not know which hospital she was in."Mom, you don't have to come. I'll be back soon after the infusion. You and Dad just came back. Have a rest at home. I'm almost done with the drip.""Lynn, can you stay there alone?" Elvira asked worriedly."It's okay, Mom. Mr. Lowe is here with me!""Oh! Alright! With him by your side, I can rest assured!"Hearing this, Marilyn was speechless.She thought, "What is the logic behind my mother's words?It is late at night! A man and a woman stay in the same room. My mother said she was relieved!My mother likes Malcolm so much
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
