"Why did you come downstairs?" Mr. Marcus asked as he approached.Miss Jessica thought of certain flirtatious remarks made by A Rich Lady and also recalled Blue Sky. She scrutinized Mr. Marcus from head to toe."Daddy, Mummy had a question she didn't understand, so she came down to ask me," Henry smiled.Mr. Marcus raised an eyebrow and pinched Miss Jessica's nose. "I'm right next door, why didn't you come and ask me?"Luckily she didn't ask Marcus to hack Blue Sky. Jessica applauded herself for her wisdom. She couldn't help it. She was used to having Henry check computer problems and even help her play pranks.Miss Jessica brushed Mr. Marcus' hand away and smiled, "You don't have Henry's expertise."Otherwise, you wouldn't have been hacked by your son. Jessica thought to herself.Henry wisely remained silent, understanding that adults should speak without interruption."Who says that? It would be nice if they came to see me too," Mr. Marcus glanced at her coldly. What a stubborn girl
The next day, Henry was downstairs drinking milk when his mom and dad coincidentally came downstairs together. His mom looked spirited, while his dad had a gloomy expression. Henry smiled and gave Jessica a good morning kiss on the cheek, then smiled and asked Marcus."Dad, did you not sleep well last night?"His voice was tender and worried, but Marcus' gaze turned cold, and he curtly replied, "No!"Henry saw his dad glared at his mom, but his mom acted as if nothing had happened, calmly drinking her milk and even making a request with a smile, "Darling, hand me a piece of bread."Henry said, "Okay."Mr. Marcus narrowed his eyes and said, "Go get it yourself! Why should I order my son around?"Miss Jessica smiled and said, "Your son has been serving me for years. Any objections?"Mr. Marcus, "..."Henry felt a little guilty and a little excited. Guilty for betraying his dad, but excited to see his parents banter and play-fighting.It's really complicated being a son!Jessica stood up
With Saxon joining the Noblefull Group, a strange atmosphere engulfed them. Every meeting held in the first conference room was filled with tension. Knowing Saxon had more than a passing interest in Jessica made Mr. Marcus feel extremely uncomfortable. Whenever Saxon's emerald green eyes looked towards Jessica, Mr. Marcus felt extremely uncomfortable. No man would be happy with his woman being coveted, especially someone as domineering as Mr. Marcus.Mr. Marcus rarely allowed Jessica to enter the first conference room, always bringing Susan or Alice along instead.However, this did not deter Saxon's pursuit of Jessica.Noblefull Group's focus recently revolved around Saxon and Jessica. Even the secretaries in the office began to gossip about the chances of Jessica and Saxon being together. As Mr. Marcus's face grew darker, they eventually dared not gossip anymore and instead whispered about the complex relationships between the three of them.There was a ridiculous rumor circulating w
Weekend.Jessica had made plans to go shopping with Grace.In the morning, Marcus was still in bed, as he had been exhausted recently. Rare for a weekend, he woke up very late, and Henry was also reluctant to get up after sleeping late the previous night. Jessica left a note on Henry's desk.When they arrived at the department store where they were supposed to meet Grace, she was already waiting there. She was wearing a short mini-skirt, showing off her hot figure, and she was dressed very stylishly and attractively. Jessica looked at her own attire, the innocent look of a college student, and suddenly felt speechless."Jessica, I've been waiting for you for half an hour." Grace glared at her in anger and without saying much, she dragged Jessica into the department store.This was the busiest shopping area in city W, with seven or eight large-scale shopping malls nearby, as well as several exclusive stores of top international clothing brands. Grace went shopping almost every week, th
Jessica sweated from the pain as Grace finally sensed something was wrong. She quickly reached out and supported Jessica, a worried expression on her face. "What's wrong with you? Is it a stomachache? Jessica, don't scare me...""Pain... Grace, it hurts..." Jessica was in so much pain that she knelt on the cold ground, gripping her body, veins bulging from the strain...Grace panicked. She knew how resilient Jessica was. When she gave birth to Henry, she didn't utter a sound from the labor pains to delivering the baby. The doctors in the delivery room even thought this girl had no sensation. But now seeing her in such pain, it was definitely beyond what Grace could imagine. She swiftly gathered all the bags, rushed into the BRN store, and dumped everything on the counter, hastily pulling out five hundred dollars to give to the cashier. "Please hold on to these for me."She didn't have time to pay attention to the people calling behind her. She supported Jessica onto the elevator. Jess
Jessica felt embarrassed and pushed Henry's hand away. What fever? Can't I buy clothes for Mr. Marcus? What kind of theory is this from my son?Henry glanced at the price of the tie and at that moment, Mr. Marcus approached. Henry offered the clothes as if presenting a treasure, with a serious expression mixed with a hint of envy and resentment."Daddy, congratulations on becoming my mommy's favorite person." Henry's rosy face twisted slightly.Jessica blushed and gave Henry a smack on his little bottom. "Are you looking for trouble, baby?"Mr. Marcus grinned, feeling delighted and proud. He looked at the style of the clothes, which he liked a lot. They matched his aesthetic taste, even the tie. He exuded great taste.It must be said that Jessica's taste was unique.This outfit must have cost her a month's income, including the bonus. It's not a small amount for her, and considering Miss Jessica's materialistic personality, it's a big price for her to spend on buying clothes for him.
A silver Rolls-Royce pulled up at the Smith family mansion, where nearly ten top-of-the-line luxury cars were parked in the yard. Henry's lips curled up in a cold smile."Mr. Marcus, the master instructed that no one is allowed inside," Vincent said hesitantly.The old butler had always been kind to him, and as a child, Vincent would secretly help him apply medicine when Marcus was beaten by Dennis. He was the only person in the Smith family whom Marcus didn't feel repulsed by.Marcus took off his sunglasses and gave a cold smile. "Vincent, did Dad instruct that I cannot go in?"A frown appeared on Vincent's forehead."You shouldn't meddle in our father-son affairs," Mr. Marcus said coldly, pushing past him.Vincent hesitated and followed behind him.In the spacious living room, all the directors of Noblefull Group were seated around a round table, including Saxon and Old Mr. Alston. They were deep in conversation, but when Mr. Marcus entered, the room fell silent."Dad seems to be in
"Mr. Marcus, what about your involvement in smuggling?" Saxon smiled tenderly, shocking the directors who all looked at Mr. Marcus. Saxon continued, "What benefits does Mr. Marcus gain from my joining the Noblefull Group? Are you claiming to be innocent?"The faces of the directors became even more unpleasant as they glared at Mr. Marcus. One of them, trembling, asked, "Mr. Marcus, is what Mr. Saxon said true?"Mr. Marcus gave him a cold glance, causing him to shrink like a sparrow, diminishing his presence. Mr. Marcus raised an eyebrow mockingly. "Speaking of smuggling, the Noblefull Group was involved in smuggling in the early years. It even played with drugs. What are diamonds in comparison? My connection with Saxon was established by the chairman himself. So, it's not my responsibility. Why are you dragging me into this? I am more innocent than a birdie.""Marcus, you are just being crafty," Alston Smith slammed the table. "For several years, I have left the Noblefull Group's affa
