"Got it. I won't forget you tomorrow morning." Marilyn had run into Malcolm this morning, and Roland wouldn't stop nagging her for the rest of the day.

Marilyn's phone suddenly rang.

Marilyn checked the caller ID and said, "It's Jeannie."

"Hey! Jeannie!"

From the other side of the phone came Jeannie's happy laughter. "Lynn, have you gone to bed yet?"

Marilyn looked at the screen on the phone and said, "Jeannie, it's only nine o'clock now. I won't sleep so early. Is everything done with the event?"

"It's done. We were too busy to tell you since we flew to Fielddell early in the morning. Arturo said that he wanted to see you. We'll fly back to Goldmere tomorrow night. I'll send Arturo over now. Send me your address."

"Really?" Marilyn shouted excitedly.

It was a big surprise to Marilyn that Arturo was in Fielddell.

    Marilyn did not reach out for the card. Instead, she smiled and asked Arturo, "Arturo, tell me, is this all your income, or is Jeannie's money included?"Arturo's card was under Marilyn's name, and Marilyn did not ask for message notifications.Marilyn was very busy. After Jeannie told Marilyn about the bank card, Jeannie helped Arturo to apply for a card.Marilyn didn't expect Arturo to earn so much money, much more than herself.Sometimes, Jeannie would also directly give Marilyn Arturo's money, which was a lot every single time.Jeannie knew that Marilyn was going to buy an apartment in Fielddell.With Marilyn's current financial status, she could afford to cover the down payment.Marilyn wanted to support her family on her own, without the help of Roland and Jeannie.Marilyn had already owed them too much.Arturo slightly raised his pink lips, which given a closer look, had a sense of playfulness.

    Malcolm was extremely shocked. He sat on the sofa in a daze, his deep black eyes unfocused as he looked in a certain direction.Malcolm couldn't believe that the woman who was with him back then was actually Marilyn!That was...Mind-blowing!Julian looked at Malcolm's dazed expression and could not help but tease, "Well, well, well. She was just a virgin back then. Yet you took her virginity when she just turned eighteen. She has been on the run for seven years. Marilyn does have a hard life!"Malcolm suddenly smiled like a madman.If Marilyn was Carolyn, wouldn't that be such a great thing?Julian was about to drink some water, but when he heard Malcolm's laughter, his hand froze in the air.Did Malcolm's madness come out of joy or anger?Why was his laughter so creepy?Julian picked up the glass and poured some water into his mouth.

He just turned six this year and is a child star from Jeannie's team. He just won first place in the piano competition a few days ago and is now popular."I asked someone to check on him. Yesterday, he signed a contract for a movie called "The Boxing Boy". And he nailed the audition."Before he went to school, he was able to complete half of the filming."I was going to ask him to be the face of our company this year."Marilyn not only knows a lot about the fashion industry, but she also has her own ideas about child clothing. The child clothing design of the branch company also has her design, and the sales in Goldmere are very good."However, I have studied Arturo's appearance many times. He looks exactly like you when you were a child. Most importantly, his surname is Chapman and his parents are unknown. All of his trips are handled by Jean

    Arturo jogged along the river. Last night, he came out to eat supper with his mother. After the supper, his mother took him around the neighborhood. He remembered the way around here very well.Arturo wouldn't get lost.After running for an hour, Arturo was still in good spirits. His handsome little face was a little red, and a few strands of hair on his forehead were soaked in sweat. He looked handsome.Ever since Arturo was three, he had been learning free combat with Jeannie, and thus he had always been in good health.The movie "The Boxing Boy" was a good chance for Arturo to present himself. He liked the character and could naturally relate to him.Arturo took out his phone from his backpack and looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock and he had to buy breakfast for his mother.Arturo wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked around with his big clear eyes.Marilyn said that Vogue Plaza was not far from here, and there was a lot of delicious food there.But where should

I will help you take your order."Arturo paused a bit. He glanced at his phone and smiled, "Thank you, sir. I want to take the breakfast away and eat it at home with mom."Malcolm pursed his lips slightly, and a deep look flashed across his eyes. He continued, "Your mom has your dad to be with her, but I'm alone. Could Arturo eat here with me?" He was probing.Malcolm wondered if Arturo had a father.When Arturo heard the word 'dad', his face suddenly changed and he sounded colder. "I'm sorry, sir. I think I'd better go home and eat with my mother. So, thanks, but no thanks. Goodbye!"With that, Arturo went to the waiter and ordered some

    "Yes! Mom, you know that Laverne loved drawing since she was a child, just like you. Laverne has inherited your talent. Laverne doesn't only see the fun in drawing. She has devoted herself to it."Marilyn gazed at Arturo. The corners of her lips curled up and she smiled happily.Laverne had already won two awards for her paintings. Marilyn hoped that this time, Laverne would also get what she wanted."Alright! We'll go buy it later. Arturo, hurry up and eat!" Marilyn gently rubbed Arturo's head, smiling with bright eyes and white teeth. The three siblings each liked different things.Dominic liked reading books and computers; Laverne liked drawing; Arturo liked acting. They all had their own strengths.When Malcolm returned to the Lowe's, he quickly opened the door and went in. He changed his shoes at the entrance when Roberta came down just in time."Mr. Malcolm, welcome back!"Malcolm nodded indifferently and walked to the second floor.Roberta glanced at Malcolm, who was rushing up

    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

'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

    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.

    "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.

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.

    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.

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
