She stood there in a daze, her mind echoing Malcolm's words, "Because, it can only be you!"

As the elevator door opened, Marilyn recovered from the daze. Malcolm held her hand and walked to the car.

Marilyn was still immersed in that sentence. She even forgot to refuse Malcolm's actions but followed his footsteps dully.

It was not until she got into the car and Malcolm fastened her seat belt that the strong hormone that lingered around her nose suddenly took her back to reality.

She looked up and her eyes met a pair of deep black eyes, which suddenly filled her with nervousness. She instantly felt that his gaze was like a shackle that had firmly locked her up and left no way to escape!

Malcolm could see that she was nervous, but he merely curled his lips and did not say anything. His fair fingers smoothly held the steering wheel as he drove off the parking lot.

Along the way, they did not say a word.

Marilyn didn't know what to say to Malcolm.

While Malcolm was too excited to say.

    "Why did he ignore you?" Sergio was puzzled. Malcolm was not a person who liked to hold grudges. If Terence had not offended something Malcolm cared about, he would not treat them like that."How would I know? I haven't offended him anyway." Terence scowled miserably. He desperately wanted to know why.He didn't think that the Line content that day had offended Malcolm."What a stingy man! Just because of a villa? I am willing to give him, but he sent a text later to say that he didn't want it anymore."He didn't want it. What is he mad at me now?" Terence felt that he was truly wronged.Upon hearing this and thinking about the location of Terence's villa, Julian slightly widened his eyes. He instantly knew how Terence had offended Malcolm."Terence, in my opinion, not only have you offended Malcolm, but you are unforgivable. You'd better not appear in front of Malcolm for the next two months. With his personality, he will not talk to you.""It's that serious?" Terence frowned. "But wh

    He got up gracefully and took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. It was still bubbling. Then he genteelly walked towards Malcolm.At this time, Malcolm was introducing a famous design to Marilyn.Natasha was born abroad. She was now the chief designer of a famous brand. Her full name was Natasha Laurier. Marilyn liked her work very much.But a lot of people liked to call her Natasha.Her creation was bold and unique, especially in the color of clothing. It was very close to nature and had become a hot demand in the fashion industry.Natasha was around forty years old this year. She had a rather classical appearance. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she wore a well-tailored dress. When she walked, she looked exceedingly fascinating and charming."Lynn, this is the famous chief designer! Natasha, this is Ms. Chapman, the design director of the Lowe Group!" Malcolm introduced them to each other."I'm pleased to meet you, Natasha! I've always been chasing after your work."

    Bradley said in a gentle tone, "Lynn, show your work to Natasha tomorrow. She also knows your mother. Back then, the clothes designed by your mother were also very popular with the younger generation. Natasha also learned from her a lot."When Marilyn heard this, she looked at Bradley in surprise. Because her mother had never said this to her.However...Marilyn looked at Bradley and smiled guiltily. "Bradley, I've been too busy lately. I haven't had any new works yet.""Bradley, who are you talking about? She sounds so mysterious," Natasha asked with a frown.Upon hearing Bradley's name, Debbie's expression changed.He was actually the famous real estate tycoon, Bradley! He didn't like to attend the banquet, and very few people had seen him in person. Tonight, however, he had come here."Natasha, you will know in the future. However, if you miss Lynn, you will never find a suitable student," Bradley said with a meaningful smile.Natasha frowned slightly. Her gaze was fixed on Marilyn.

    "Lynn, how do you know Bradley?" Malcolm asked.Marilyn smiled and said, "He is my mother's friend. He had helped us a lot. Sometimes, he took us out to play. Then we got familiar with each other.""Well, okay." Malcolm looked at her in confusion. "Then what happened to your mother?" Malcolm did not understand why Bradley said her mother was a designer.Marilyn was about to speak when she suddenly saw the waiter carrying the tray over. Seeing that the wine in Malcolm's glass was empty, the waiter handed a glass of wine to Malcolm.Malcolm's face suddenly changed. He gloomily took the wine from the waiter and put a pill into the glass. He had held it in his hand for long.He shook the glass lightly and turned around. His sharp black eyes glanced around.Yvonne and Velma were standing not far away. Malcolm raised his glass and drank all the wine in it under their gazes.Velma watched Malcolm drink the wine and felt at ease.Yvonne slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Velma with a stra

    Marilyn smiled. "Mom, it's okay. Dominic is very good. When I go to work, he can stay at home.""Okay, when Dominic decides, I will tell you the time. Lynn, go home early and drink less. You have to take care of yourself.""Okay, mom!"Marilyn hung up the phone and was very happy. It was good for Dominic to come over and accompany her.Marilyn wanted to go somewhere else to take a walk, but a glass of wine splashed on her without warning."Ah!" Terence, who was not far away, suddenly widened his eyes.The person who splashed wine on Marilyn was Mr. Hamilton's daughter. This woman was usually arrogant and domineering. Was she trying to irritate Malcolm tonight?Marilyn looked sideways at the woman beside her. She had charming curly hair and delicate makeup. She looked at Marilyn with disdain and contempt."What do you mean by splashing wine on me?" Marilyn's eyes were cold and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Her eyes were filled with anger.A few fashionably-dressed women slowly wal

    Terence shook his hand and sneered at Michelle, "Miss Hamilton, you don't have to apologize to me. You'd better apologize to Marilyn. You splashed the wine all over her for no reason."As the director of the company, it's her duty to accompany Mr. Lowe to socialize. Yet you slandered her saying that she was trying to seduce him."I would like to ask Miss Hamilton, did you see Marilyn seduce him with your own eyes?""I ... didn't," Michelle said and lowered her head. She didn't dare to be as arrogant as just now with her father watching.She used to bully others. However, in the past, Terence never stood out to accuse her.Terence sneered and said, "If you didn't, as a well-educated lady, why do you want to slander and frame an innocent person? Or is this how all your families behave? I must admit that I'm in shock."Terence said that in a gentle yet sarcastic tone with a humble expression.Robinson felt so ashamed to hear that.He wanted to defend himself, "Mr. Zade...""Alright, every

    After looking at Debbie for a while, Marilyn said, "Mrs. Remington, don't be outrageous. Why do you always think that Malcolm and I are together? You want me to leave him alone? How hilarious," Marilyn sneered.Seeing Debbie was lost for words, she said sarcastically, "You have known him since he was a child. Do you think I can force him to do things he doesn't want to?"I will tell you one last time. I have nothing to do with Malcolm."Please don't misunderstand our relationship again." After Marilyn finished speaking, she turned and left.Debbie couldn't find another word to refute her, so she could only watch Marilyn walk away.Debbie didn't believe her words.If Marilyn had nothing to do with Malcolm, Debbie couldn't understand why he would treat her so nicely.Malcolm had never paid so much attention to any other woman.Marilyn was the first woman who could attract his attention.Debbie stood still and contemplated with her head lowered down.In the room, Velma was getting more an

    "I, I don't know either..." Yvonne frowned. She sounded so upset.She didn't know what was going on.She had arranged everything in advance, so why would such a thing happen?She thought, "Damn it!!Who the hell was it?""Which room is it? Find him! This brat! Our family already owes the Remington family a lot. I wonder what will happen to us after this mess?" Guillermo shouted angrily as he walked forward in a hurry.He could tell that it was Velma's voice."Honey ... wait for me!" Yvonne was anxious. If it was Malcolm, the Remington family would not say anything.But if it was Hugo, the Remingtons would definitely make a big deal out of it.Suddenly, a group of reporters barged into the dark room.The lights in the room were turned on.They quickly took so many pictures of the two."Get out. Get the hell out of here." Debbie ran in and pushed all the reporters out.With a bang, the door closed.Her cold gaze swept across the reporters who were taking pictures hurriedly with their cam

    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.

    "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
