Jessica leaned against a pillar, wiping off the mark left on her lips by Saxon with disgust. Her brow furrowed deeply, and she wished she could rinse her mouth a thousand times. Her bright eyes flickered with anger, and she was so furious that she almost lost her sanity and picked up a cane to beat him."Damn it, shameless!"She hated men who used force against women, especially this sick bastard Saxon!The rain was pouring heavily.Mr. Marcus rushed over, soaked in rainwater, wetting his suit and hair. The rain messed up his styled hair, and a few strands fell on the corner of his eye, dripping with rainwater. Combined with his fierce expression, he looked especially seductive and wild.His fist clenched tightly, his charming eyes filled with fierceness, his chest heaving with anger. His lean and taut body was filled with a terrifying power that no living being could ignore. He looked like a demon who had come from hell to claim lives!A fist is the most direct and wild expression of
"How many were there?""Not many, the loss is not significant. These synthetic diamonds were mixed in with pink diamonds and transported together. There was only a small box!" It was the first time the Noblefull Group had encountered a fake diamond incident."We trusted our raw material suppliers. We've been collaborating for so many years. How could this problem occur?" Jessica sensitively felt that something was wrong. "Was it the supply provided by Saxon?"Mr. Marcus nodded, with a sinister cold smile. "He played it dirty!""Henry said that during the recent power struggle within the mafia, Saxon needed a large amount of money. The diamond transaction between him and you was purely a smokescreen. How could you not be cautious? " Jessica was puzzled. Knowing Mr. Marcus's personality, he could not make such a careless mistake, especially when it affected the business reputation and might lead to legal trouble. He could not have made this mistake!"I didn't trade this batch of goods w
"Miss Jessica, I'm sorry, Mr. Quincy is in a meeting!" The secretary's distant yet polite voice came through the cold machine.Jessica's heart sank. Quincy, her senior, was not taking her call?!Because it was during office hours, she had separated her personal and professional matters and used the company's phone to call. Naturally, she dialed the number for the Gootal Group general manager's office.This was the first time Quincy had refused to answer her call."Miss, after he comes out, please let him know I called, alright?""Okay, I will relay your message to him!"After hanging up the phone, Jessica rubbed her slightly aching brows. It was a mess!After waiting for two hours without any response, Jessica dialed the number again. He was still in a meeting. She finally confirmed that Quincy didn't want to talk to her, perhaps because he guessed what she wanted to say!"Quincy... Is this what the business world is like?" Jessica smiled bitterly and fell silent for a while.******J
After several months of hobbling with a limp, Jessica excitedly cheered as her leg finally healed. Without a second thought, she donated the crutches that had tormented her for months to an old man in the park. The feeling of touching the ground with both legs was truly amazing!She almost wanted to jump rope to test the extent of her bone healing, but due to Mr. Marcus's coldness and Henry's disdainful gaze, she had to give up. They didn't seem happy for her at all.That evening, Mr. Marcus and Henry rushed to the market to buy a lot of groceries to celebrate her leg's rebirth. Miss Jessica finally felt that life was beautiful!This was the only thing worth celebrating in their recent dreary life!"By the way, the villa reconstruction is complete. When should we pick a time to move there?" Mr. Marcus smiled during dinner. The house was quite cozy, and for an ordinary family of three, a four-bedroom, two-living-room layout was considered very spacious.However, this family of three wa
"Can't Ghost Gang's system find anything?""No, it can't!" Mr. Marcus furrowed his brow. "Aaron, why would Old Mr. Alston sabotage his own Noblefull Group?""How can I know? Your father isn't the same as my father. But back then, my father used this tactic to rebuild a stronghold and kicked me out," Aaron replied, his gorgeous laughter laced with a hint of mockery. "Just accept it when they grow old. Knowing that their successor surpasses them, why not enjoy a peaceful retirement?"The glamorous laughter was accompanied by a touch of ruthlessness!"A dying fish always struggles a few times, otherwise, it wouldn't be so unwilling!" Mr. Marcus sneered disdainfully.Mr. Aaron burst into laughter. This metaphor was quite apt. He deserved his reputation as the sharp-tongued Mr. Marcus. "But your father is much more ruthless than mine. At least my father hasn't sent me to a mental hospital or conspired with outsiders to destroy our Moore Family Group. Intelligent people won't engage in such
In the secretary's office, Jessica answered Lionel's phone call and was about to transfer it to Mr. Marcus when she heard Lionel's creepy laugh. "Little Jessica, I call to talk to you!"Jessica shuddered. She was busy to the point of exhaustion and had no time for idle chatting. Remembering the chaotic days when she had worked as his secretary, she felt a sense of relief emanating from the depths of her heart."Mr. Lionel, it's working hours now!""I know. I'm calling you for official business!" Lionel laughed, not caring at all, his voice carefree. "Little Jessica, if Noblefull Group collapses, would you be interested in coming back to be my secretary? Double the salary, excellent conditions. What do you say?"Jessica silently facepalmed. Mr. Lionel, taking advantage of a crisis, poaching employees... is this your idea of official business?She should never have had too many expectations of him!"Noblefull Group won't go down!" Jessica said firmly, believing that Mr. Marcus would ove
"Your life with your son was peaceful until you met me. Since then, it has been nothing but turmoil - humiliation, car accidents, assassination attempts, giant serpents... You and Henry almost lost your lives. None of these things would have happened if you hadn't met me!" Mr. Marcus calmly said, his tone peaceful but unable to hide the darkness in his eyes. "It seems like I always bring misfortune to those around me. My mother, my little sister, one died because of me, the other was lost because of me... If anything happened to you and Henry...""Hold on!" Jessica interrupted his somewhat melancholic tone, furrowing her brows. She had never known that Mr. Marcus carried such dark thoughts in his heart. For so many years, he appeared glamorous and radiant, but who could know the regrets, guilt, and pain he carried deep inside?Such a powerful man, yet he had such sensitive concerns. It made Jessica feel distressed!She couldn't bear to listen any longer!"Did you misunderstand somethi
Jessica hung up the phone expressionless, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and a cold chill emanated from her bright eyes. Her usual signature smile disappeared without a trace, replaced by an icy demeanor."I never imagined that we would meet under these circumstances," Jessica said casually, turning her head to look at Marcus, who also had a frosty expression, his gaze as sharp as a knife."Believe me, I am even less willing than you are," Mr. Marcus said in a low voice, veins popping on his forehead, struggling to suppress his anger.Quincy, Crystal, and Tatton approached them head-on, and they coincidentally bumped into each other. Quincy wore a white Armani suit, highlighting his slender figure, graceful and charming, without diminishing his toughness in the business world.Tatton, a French gentleman, was tall and handsome, with a pair of light gray eyes always veiled in mist, adding a hint of mystery to his composure. Despite approaching middle age, he didn't appear to sho
"They saved me," said Saxon, with a cold laugh, "In fact, it was just a trap set by their brothers. They sent someone to ambush me while pretending to save me, successfully getting close to me. Their goal is the mafia, I'm not sure which faction they belong to.""You're really dumb," Camellia retorted. If it were Victor or Robin, this wouldn't have happened. Their core organization doesn't allow outsiders to invade easily, no matter how much trust there is.Saxon's defeat in just a few months was greatly influenced by his misjudgment of people."I admit defeat in this move," Saxon said solemnly. "Just go ahead and kill me."Camellia looked at him and smiled, "My dear brother, if I kill you, my nephew will come after me. Your life should be taken by his own hands, that's what you owe him."Desperate, Saxon closed his eyes and whispered, "Camellia, please fulfill my request, considering we're siblings.""Even if you may be my father, I won't fulfill your request," Camellia said firmly.
There were only five people on the ship.Saxon stood alone on the deck, gazing intensely at the sea, his desire to kill growing stronger. To avoid accidents, he should kill her now. And when Mr. Marcus arrived, he could deliver the final blow.Just as he thought that, the ship stopped, and Saxon roared, "What's going on?""Oh, nothing much. They were tired, so I let them rest forever." A dark figure leaped effortlessly onto the deck, her long hair flowing and her black bodysuit accentuating her seductive figure, her eyebrows exuding absolute icy firmness.Saxon called out in disbelief, "Jessica, you..."She opened her mouth, moved her lips, spat out a voice changer, and tore off the mask on her face, revealing a stunningly alluring face in front of Saxon.He was greatly surprised, but she smiled enchantingly, "My dearest big brother, you could disguise as my Brother Marcus, so why can't I disguise as my brother-in-law? How about that, I think I nailed the act, right? Forgot to tell yo
On the cruise ship out at sea.Jessica tried to move her wrist, but the handcuffs were tight, with long shackles on her feet, trailing chains on the ground, giving the room a particularly gloomy atmosphere. She smiled as she glanced around the room; it was actually quite a nice room, decorated luxuriously and comfortably. She thought to herself, that maybe if Saxon had tied her to the bed, she could have had a peaceful sleep.Her face was pale, breathing seemed a bit difficult, gasping continuously, yet she coldly laughed. Raising her hand, she knocked heavily on the cabin door. As expected, the door opened shortly after, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, stepping inside.Blonde hair, blue eyes, with a menacing aura that seemed to suffocate, as if ready to destroy the entire world. Such a presence would make anyone feel scared.Jessica, however, smiled, appearing very calm with her usual smile, her gaze passing over him as she said, "Saxon, weren't you in Colombia planning to
Marcus slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand against it, hands supporting the door, his gaze darkly fixed on her. Jessica tried to stay calm but felt her heart racing.She couldn't meet Mr. Marcus's eyes directly, so her gaze shifted, each movement making him breathe a bit harder. She calmly lowered her eyes, ready to listen to his scolding.For a while, Mr. Marcus didn't say a word, his imposing demeanor making Jessica nervous.Finally, Jessica blurted out, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you, but you can't blame me for this. Henry asked why he didn't have a dad. I couldn't possibly tell him that you're the child of a one-night stand with a stranger, right? That would be devastating for the kid. So I had to come up with this cheesy love story. Who knew you actually got into an accident and lost your memory? Henry had already told you about the cheesy drama in advance, so I just went along with the flow. It was really just an accident, I swear.""You had plenty of chances t
It was his mother's death anniversary that day, and feeling upset, Mr. Marcus went to the bar alone after visiting the grave. Someone approached him, but he turned them down. In such moments, he had no peace of mind, but little did he know that he would meet her.She got drunk and staggered. He hurried over to help her, but she mistook him for a money boy. He was furious, feeling his pride was hurt. He was enraged, knowing she came looking for a man, and he wanted to strangle her.In his rage, that anger turned into desire.Furthermore, knowing she had been drugged fueled his anger even more. He was angry at her, frustrated with her. He couldn't understand why he had such strong impulses towards a woman he hardly knew.Maybe it was the moment of palpitations at the beach or the moment of heart fluttering when she looked up at him as he held her.That night, he lost control.But who would have known that when he woke up the next day, there was a note at the head of his bed with $100 an
On that day, Jessica flipped through the guest list for the wedding invitations and couldn't find Quincy's name. She raised an eyebrow and asked Henry, "How long has it been since you talked to Uncle Quincy?""Long time," Henry chuckled. "Mom, you also need to send invitations to the uncles and aunts on Grandpa's side. Why not send one to Uncle Quincy too?"Jessica nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have Camellia drive her to meet Quincy at the park in front of the Lee Family's house.Michael Lee had been in the hospital for a while, feeling down ever since the case with Diana Brown. He had lost his former dominance and charisma; the once mighty business tycoon had fallen, his glory days long gone.Jessica felt sorry about the situation. If it weren't for what Michael Lee had done, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly that day. She only felt guilty towards Quincy.Quincy just smiled and didn't say much. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, not as warm as before, bu
Herman shot her a look of anger, but Camellia wasn't afraid of him at all. The poor little brother, always overshadowed by his brother, how sad. Any woman who falls for him still has to compete with his brother for attention, it's really a special kind of frustration.He was angry, and in the past, he would have definitely closed the video, out of sight out of mind. But today was different, he just stared at Camellia intensively.Suddenly, Camellia was curious about something, "Herman, do you have a brotherly love obsession?"If he answered yes, it would be quite interesting. She felt chaotic just thinking about it. She and Rose had also been suspected of having a lesbian relationship, and now with a pair of brothers who seem to have a homosexual relationship. Wow!"What do you mean by a brotherly love obsession?" Herman questioned.Camellia replied with a mischievous tone, "It means you look at your brother and wonder if you want to pounce on him and violate him."Rose's face darkene
After a while, there was no response from the other end.Camellia calculated the time—it was early morning in Colombia, so he shouldn't be so easily provoked to find a woman to solve his desire. Whether he understood sex was still a problem.She deliberately teased him and let him stew in anticipation."Uncle, it's been a while, and he hasn't responded," Henry said. "Maybe Herman has bled so much from his nose he passed out?"Rose chuckled. "Maybe he is having sex with a beauty."Rose nudged Camellia playfully. "Camellia, don't overdo it. You might regret it later."Camellia waved her hand, smiling without saying a word, then typed on the keyboard: "Herman, how's my figure?"After a while, there was some movement on the line, and unexpectedly, a naked picture of Herman was sent over. It was artistically shot, but his expressionless face still exuded a sinister air.Camellia, "..."Rose, "..."Henry covered his face and wailed, "Uncle-in-law, please consider the innocence of minors...
"Are you happy?" Mr. Marcus released her swollen lips from their embrace, with a smile. Whether she was happy or not was his top concern.She nodded, extremely happy.She could cherish this moment for a lifetime."As long as you're happy, darling. Henry and Camellia will arrive the day after tomorrow. They'll stay until our wedding and honeymoon. You'll be even happier," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. In the afternoon, Henry had already informed him online that he and Camellia would arrive on different flights but on the same day."Really?" Jessica's face lit up with surprise, pouting, "Henry is biased. He told you, but not me. So unfair."Mr. Marcus chuckled, "I and he need to discuss some matters.""Hmph!" Miss Jessica pouted unhappily.Mr. Marcus smiled, holding her, feeling content.She suddenly thought of something, "If you went to such great lengths for a proposal, our wedding will be like...even more sensational?""You don't need to worry about that, just put on the wedding dres
