Marilyn was not good at socializing.

Malcolm seemed to expect her words. He put on a faint smile and spoke out calmly, "Lynn, you have to go with me. You are the design director of the Lowe Group, and the people you will meet at the banquet tomorrow night are all our partners."

Malcolm's words made Marilyn silent.

Marilyn sat in front of Malcolm. She looked delicate and lovely with her thin body. Her wavy hair was lying softly on her shoulders. Her eyes were beautiful and shining. At this moment, Marilyn was staring at Malcolm in confusion.

Malcolm also looked at Marilyn quietly.

But they had different feelings.

Marilyn silently withdrew her eyesight. Did she have another choice?

Marilyn replied in a low voice, "Okay! I will go with you for tomorrow night's banquet."

Marilyn stood up indifferently after her words as if she was being forced.

In Marilyn's eyes, Malcolm was indeed forcing her.

In Malcolm's opinion, he did it on purpose.

Bringing a couple for a banquet?

You must be kidding

    Malcolm suddenly felt somewhere in his heart empty, making his entire body feel uncomfortable.Malcolm took a deep breath and lowered his head. The air around him seemed to become colder. Deep in his heart, it was as if something was about to break out but did not break out eventually.The streets were crowded with people and cars, and long rows were lined up. The lights of the brakes were dazzling.Malcolm was immersed in his own world, and everything around him had nothing to do with him.His deep eyes were formidable.Especially his sexy thin lips pursed lightly, revealing a lofty indifference and nobility.Suddenly, Malcolm's phone rang, and the sound pulled him back from his lost world."Hello!" Malcolm said with a cold voice."Malcolm, good news! I didn't expect that you would have such a day...""Get to the point!" Malcolm, who was in a bad mood, roared."Chatting with you is really boring." Julian seemed to have been splashed with cold water. "The DNA test has been identified.

    Marilyn looked at Roland and smiled sweetly. "No matter what, you and Jeannie have been helping me for so many years. I should say thank you."Generally speaking, Marilyn would not conceal what she really thought in front of Roland and Jeannie.Marilyn was simple, kind, gentle, and considerate. In this material society, Roland had seen too many greedy and vain women.Rarely, Marilyn was never one of these people.It made Roland feel that he had met the destiny that he had been waiting for.He knew what had happened to Marilyn. When Marilyn decided to give birth to her three children, Roland did not stop her. Instead, he supported Marilyn and accompanied her all the time.Roland knew how much Marilyn had been longing for a warm home.Roland once believed that if he worked hard, Marilyn would fall in love with him.The waiter served the shrimp, which was Roland's and Marilyn's favorite. There were overall four dishes on the table, but the two were only keen on the shrimp.Roland grinned.

    The dishes were served but Malcolm didn't try any of them.Sitting opposite Malcolm, Sergio tasted them gracefully and checked his phone from time to time, as if no one else was around.Through the hollowed-out partition, Malcolm could watch Marilyn and Roland closely. Malcolm's angular face darkened and grew terrifying.Malcolm acted as if someone had snatched his treasure."Eat! You have no reason to do anything, no matter how mad you are." Malcolm heard Sergio's tepid voice.Malcolm collected his thoughts and looked at Sergio indifferently. However, Sergio's words reminded him. Malcolm forced a smile, got up elegantly, and walked towards Marilyn.Marilyn and Roland were chatting happily.Suddenly, a black shadow cast over Marilyn and she looked up. Under the warm light, Malcolm wore a charming smile on his perfect face. His dark deep eyes and the unfathomable look in his eyes added to his mischievousness."Mr. Lowe!" Marilyn sounded a bit surprised and wondered why Malcolm was here.

    The look in Marilyn's eyes grew cold when she stared at Malcolm. She glanced at the dim sky and said indifferently, "Mr. Lowe, Roland and I have something to attend to. We have to go."Marilyn evaded Malcolm's question.It would be better not to answer.Most likely, Roland was doing it with good intentions.Malcolm was not going to let Marilyn off easily. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.He took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was Julian.Malcolm suddenly looked at Marilyn with a bright smile and said in a deep voice, "Lynn, see you tomorrow!"Then Malcolm picked up the phone and walked out.Roland pursed his lips in anger but did not say anything.Marilyn had stood up. When Roland saw this, he also got up. The two of them did not speak and walked out with tacit understanding.Standing not far away, Malcolm was answering the phone, but his eyes were fixed on Roland and Marilyn, who were leaving side by side. The dim and intense look in Malcolm's eyes was unfathoma

    \"Roland, Lynn is looking for a house. You know Lynn. If she can do it on her own, she won't accept help from others. I have a detached villa near the school in Fielddell..."At that time, after hanging up the phone, Roland was constantly suspecting Elvira's identity.However, Elvira was a very vigilant person. After knowing her for seven years, Roland only knew her name and nothing else.However, Elvira was sincerely good to Marilyn and her children.Elvira took good care of the children, just like taking care of her own children.Roland followed behind Marilyn and didn't say anything. He was still suspicious of Elvira's identity.The two of them walked into the house and opened the door to take a look. The furniture inside was covered in white cloth.The windows were closed, and there was a smell of dust in the house.Roland turned on the lights. Having been off for a long time, the lights flashed a few times before they went off.Roland pressed the switch again. The lights on the s

    Roland smiled elegantly. There was no trace of worry on Marilyn's face. He said, "Lynn, it seems you really want me to get jailed.""What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that vicious," Marilyn retorted with a long face. Her lip that had been lightly bitten by her became even rosier.As Roland looked at her, the look in his eyes grew more intense.But when Roland thought that Marilyn was going to attend the banquet with Malcolm the next evening, he felt annoyed.What was Malcolm up to?As far as Roland knew, Marilyn didn't have to attend a banquet like that.Moreover, the design drafts of Marilyn's autumn products had already passed.Roland couldn't help but doubt Malcolm's intentions."Little girl, it seems at least you still have a conscience. Don't worry. I won't be stopped by the traffic police for a glass of beer." Roland smiled at Marilyn.At the thought that Marilyn was worried about him, Roland was very happy.Marilyn rolled her eyes at him and smiled, "We've known each

    Marilyn glanced at the barbecue stall. It was very crowded at night.Five or six people sat at the same table, drinking and chatting. The stall was quite kicking.Marilyn and Roland had always liked bustling places downtown and did not like to go to those high-class places to eat.Jeannie often despised the two of them, saying that they did not know how to live a life. Thus, Jeannie would take them to some high-class restaurants for a big meal.Roland always complained that he was not full, so he had an excuse to bum a meal off Marilyn's mother at Marilyn's place.Roland picked up the beer on the table and said with a smile, "Lynn, come, let's have a drink.""Alright!" Marilyn also raised the beer. The two touched the cans and drank a mouthful of beer.Marilyn couldn't drink too much. Even beer felt strong to her.Roland also knew that. Thus, as long as the weather was not cold, he would give Marilyn cold beer. The taste of cold beer was slightly better."It tastes good!" The ice-cold

    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.

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.

    "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.
