On the way back, they remained silent.Lionel called, repeatedly apologizing. He didn't expect to let someone else beat Mr. Marcus and Jessica to ask Tatton for money. In a rare serious tone, he displayed his true French gentleman nature, but Jessica coldly replied, "Skip the apologies, just give us the money!"He was such a miser! What's the use of apologizing with just empty words? It would be better to give substantial compensation!Lionel wore a mournful expression, speaking earnestly, "Little Jessica, I strongly advise you to leave Mr. Marcus. You two are becoming more alike!" She dared to straightforwardly ask for money."Don't waste time with useless words. Do you know who's behind all of this?" Jessica asked in a stern voice. With Quincy and Crystal's abilities, they couldn't possibly be the ones Tatton would be wary of. There must be someone else."I asked Tatton, but he didn't say anything!" Lionel said, followed by a sardonic laugh. "Isn't there a dangerous figure in W City
Although the three major terrorist organizations controlled most of the arms market, there were always people trying to replace them. This industry was simply too profitable. The Middle East, Italy, and the whole of America had their own big arms dealers.Before Truman, Robin, and Victor gained control of the arms market, the world's largest arms dealer was either British or American, and the most powerful in terms of firepower was Russia. Their influence spread globally, and even if they lost in the market share battle a few years ago, there were still capable individuals who wanted to make a comeback.Almost everyone in the arms market had intricate relationships with political and business figures, as well as international criminal organizations!Saxon had originally been involved in arms smuggling, specifically providing weapons to certain countries in the Middle East. Their relationship had been decent. But this time he had been deceived. Victor, besides feeling unlucky, would su
"Mommy, can you give a normal reaction?" Henry rolled his eyes, amazed at such a fierce woman!"You said whoever Camellia wanted dead had to die, didn't you?" Jessica glared at him, and Henry chuckled lightly, "Mommy, we need to have faith in Dad!"Suddenly, the computer alarm went off. Henry gracefully gestured for Jessica to step aside, also handing her an empty cup. "Mommy, can you temporarily step aside? Baby needs to work!"Jessica glanced at the data on his computer and said, "Do you think I'm a thief?"Although she said that, she took the cup and walked out, closing the door behind her.Henry logged into his defense system, entered a series of commands, cracked through layers of encryption, and accessed a Swiss bank...Once 8 billion euros had arrived, Henry began to manipulate the data and intercept the flow of money in the middle, transferring it to a space account. After the money was transferred to the space account, Henry immediately informed Victor and provided him with e
Mr. Marcus and Jessica got up for work in the morning, and Henry was still sleeping. Jessica had the urge to kick him off the bed. In the past, when she overslept, Henry would mercilessly kick her out of bed.Mr. Marcus mentioned that he could hear Henry typing on the keyboard until two or three o'clock last night, so he pushed Jessica out of Henry's room and closed the door!"Henry is slacking off so much, he's bound to get expelled!" Jessica muttered to herself while having breakfast."I never agreed to let my darling attend that lousy elementary school!" Mr. Marcus huffed and arrogantly said, "Who dares to let my son drop out of school?"Jessica curled her lips, keeping silent!She remembered that today Camellia was coming to W City. Should Camellia observe first and then take action, or take action as soon as she arrives? Jessica was a bit worried, even though Mr. Marcus and Henry seemed normal as always.On their way to Noblefull Group, Jessica asked, "Mr. Marcus, Camellia is arr
Several executives of the Noblefull Group had calmed down. Without waiting for Mr. Marcus's command, they called the police and ambulance, swiftly calming the chaos. Over a dozen people were injured but still breathing, with no fatalities.Hearing the report, Mr. Marcus nodded and walked to Jessica's side, "Miss Jessica, gather the personnel from the news department in the second meeting room!""Yes!" Jessica also realized the seriousness of the situation. She and Susan made separate calls to summon the managers from the news department to hold a meeting in the second conference room.They had to twist the truth before the police arrived.20 minutes later, the Noblefull Group's television station declared the shooting incident a terrorist attack! The news was widely reported, with LN International Media following suit. Within half an hour, news of the Noblefull Group being attacked by terrorists spread throughout W city. It spread like wildfire!Mr. Marcus had beat the Gootal Group an
Noblefull Group had encountered such a big incident, and even Old Mr. Alston was alarmed!He seemingly didn't expect someone to attempt to assassinate Mr. Marcus, to the extent of launching an attack on Noblefull Group in broad daylight. Although Mr. Marcus attributed this to terrorists, trying to gain sympathy and mitigate the negative impact, when Old Mr. Alston called, Jessica speculated that he was not concerned about Mr. Marcus's life but rather Noblefull Group's reputation.Jessica was no longer as worried about Mr. Marcus's emotional fluctuations as before. Ever since their conversation on the balcony, he no longer flew into a rage. He learned to restrain himself, and even after being summoned back to the Smith family mansion by Old Mr. Alston, he remained calm!He was naturally cold as ice. His mood only got out of control when dealing with specific people, and there was a certain masochistic element in his demeanor. After being pointed out by her, his temper improved a lot.A
When Jessica entered the CEO's office, she held the documents in her arms!Mr. Marcus was spinning his pen, studying the details of a contract. But if you looked closely, you would notice that his eyes were motionless, giving no clue as to what he was thinking. He remained as cold as ever, chilling to the bone."Really cool!" Jessica muttered to herself, handing the documents to Mr. Marcus for his signature.The news department has been busy lately, with the manager calling repeatedly. Mr. Marcus didn't give any instructions, and she didn't dare decide on her own. She thought that it would be a good time for him to finish going through the documents in his hands before she entered.But to her dismay, the pile of documents on the table remained towering.Mr. Marcus was zoning out, which left a bad impression. After all, a workaholic should be fully focused on work, that's normal. Moreover, whenever Mr. Marcus zoning out, it is never a good thing.She had learned from experience, especi
Jessica's spine tensed, and her whole body jolted. She suddenly tightened her legs and tried to stop Mr. Marcus's aggressive advances, panting heavily. "No...""No refusing!" Mr. Marcus roared in a domineering manner, his eyes dark red. Stopping like this couldn't be solved with just cold water. "I am your birthday gift. You must accept me!""You perverted... " Jessica blushed, feeling a hot stream stirring in her lower abdomen. She was also feeling uncomfortable, but she still remembered where they were and that this wasn't the place for their actions."You should feel honored. Only you can make me so aroused!" Mr. Marcus's hand was held back by her, but he wasn't in a hurry. With one foot hooked and pressed against Jessica, he forcefully pushed her downward. His scorching, hard member was pressing against her through their clothes, imitating love-making movement, gently rocking back and forth. It made Jessica's cheeks almost blush blood-red. The usually smart and clever woman was no
"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
