Grace asked anxiously, "Jessica, what's happening with Noblefull Group? Why did it suddenly change so dramatically?"Now every financial news channel was reporting on the situation, and the whole city of W was in an uproar. Lionel, Aaron, and Derrick were acting relatively softly, so the situation didn't seem too intense. The entire city of W was still immersed in the panic of the change of regime in Noblefull Group, with the fear that it might fall into the hands of the mafia. Few could keenly sense the true crisis facing Noblefull Group.The incident was sudden, without any signs beforehand. No wonder the public was surprised. Jessica secretly thought that among these people, there were undoubtedly Mr. Marcus's opponents who were probably waiting eagerly for his downfall.Selfishness was part of human nature, and no one was an exception. Naturally, they wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to revel in someone else's misfortune. However, excessively malicious thoughts could potentia
As she passed by the study on her way out, Jessica noticed Mr. Marcus typing rapidly on his computer, occasionally giving instructions over the phone. She could tell he was talking to Aaron. Jessica pursed her lips and headed downstairs.She was making coffee.As she watched the coffee beans rolling and heard the sizzling sound, Jessica felt a bit dazed."Forget it, let's not dwell on it. I don't want to be even more depressed." Jessica shook her head and decided not to think about those annoying issues anymore.After the coffee was done, she brought it upstairs. Mr. Marcus was still on the phone with Aaron. He was explaining how to undermine the Walnut Creek project of Noblefull Group. If this project failed, most of Noblefull Group's funds would be immobilized, unless Saxon was a printing press, constantly pumping money into Noblefull Group. But from what he knew, Saxon's financial situation was very tight.Jessica considered that the chances of winning this battle were quite high.
"If you hadn't mentioned, we might have overlooked that possibility," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. He pulled Jessica closer and passionately kissed her, saying, "Darling, I've truly married a virtuous helpmate. It's a cause for celebration."Jessica playfully poked his shoulder. And Mr. Marcus playfully squeezed her cheek."Why did you pinch me?" Jessica laughed and slapped his hand away. He had quite a strong grip, and pinching her cheek slightly hurt.Jessica retaliated by pulling on his face, and to her surprise, his skin was really good, smooth, and tender. It felt very comfortable to touch. Jessica couldn't help but touch him a couple more times.Mr. Marcus said, "This is harassment, isn't it?""This is just normal teasing, not harassment. Harassment is when I strip you naked." Jessica smiled and then asked curiously, "Honey, tell me honestly, do you use skincare products? Your skin is so smooth."Mr. Marcus replied, "... Can't you say something nice?" Listen, what kind of words
Mr. Marcus raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing signs of contemplation as he repeated the question slowly, "Henry and Camellia have known each other for a long time?""It's just a hunch," Jessica said. Her damn intuition was always spot-on. She had a feeling that Henry and Camellia had known each other for a while. Their interaction from the moment Camellia arrived at their house felt strange to her. Henry rarely let strangers inside, let alone allow such a familiar atmosphere between them. Camellia even called him by a sweet nickname.That day, she saw them browsing through files about Mr. Marcus's past when she went downstairs for a drink. She felt sorry for Mr. Marcus, as her mind couldn't process anything she saw there.However, upon reflection, Jessica found it odd. There was no way Mr. Marcus would have left those files on the network. According to Henry, Mr. Marcus was also a computer genius with extraordinary skills.So, these things should have been deleted by Mr. Marcus a lon
Rose casually picked a few of her favorite snacks and said, "You know, during our training, sometimes we would spend three days wandering in the forest. There were traps everywhere, and there was no time to eat while analyzing the environment and overcoming obstacles. Everyone would carry only chocolate and snacks. When you were hungry, you could eat them while dismantling the traps."Recalling those days, it was truly unbearable.Camellia laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I remember one time Robin tried to snatch my chocolate, but I kicked him into a trap, nearly killing him. Since then, he never dared to casually take someone else's food."Rose said, "Henry, you should learn from our experiences. You should always carry chocolate on you, and it's best if it can last for three days. Sometimes, when you're chatting with someone, there might be a sudden broadcast alert, and you won't have time to pack your things before danger arrives. It's normal to face challenges for three or fo
Henry couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, he was a formidable figure, standing there as if he were the god of darkness, ruling over all, arrogantly stepping on everyone.Such an open arrogance was incredibly rare.This was the first time Henry had truly seen a strong figure from the dark world. He hadn't met Truman, Robin, and Victor in person, but even if he did, they would exude a loving aura, without this kind of presence.Antonio was exceptionally restrained and arrogant, Camellia was flamboyant but adept at disguising herself, only exhibiting that imposing aura when necessary, while Rose was icy. They were completely different from Herman's pure dark aura.Even he couldn't help but be startled. This man's presence was too strong. Henry pondered silently. No wonder Auntie was beaten so badly by him. This man was not someone to be trifled with; he had a natural and awe-inspiring air about him.It was truly strange that such a person would be an assassin. The fact that he obeyed Saxon'
Rose furrowed her brow, and Henry secretly wondered if that was too direct. But it also showed Herman's firm attitude and his straightforward character.Camellia smiled and retaliated by increasing the pressure, even though she knew it didn't hurt. But she was pleased. He's so heartless. She didn't even say she wanted his life, and he just said it. Who gave him the courage? Hmph!"But not now," Herman retorted, withdrawing his gaze from Rose and Henry and looking down at Camellia. He coldly and firmly uttered two words, "Let go!"He really didn't like Camellia's attitude, especially her alluring smile."So, if I let go just like that, won't I lose face?" Camellia playfully challenged, leaning towards him and brazenly raising an eyebrow.Rose understood from his response that Camellia would be safe for the moment. It seemed that Herman did not come to kill Camellia. If that was the case, she would keep teasing and playing with him. She quickly stuffed things into the car, Henry got in,
"On a deserted island," Herman said coldly and ignored Camellia's teasing.Camellia asked, "Oh, all by yourself?"Herman remained silent, clearly not wanting to answer that question. Camellia was smart enough to take it as his silent confirmation. No wonder, he knew nothing and showed no emotions.She suddenly wondered what he had done last night when he went back.After thinking for a moment, Camellia, unusually kind-hearted, decided not to continue asking. They continued their journey to the seaside in silence.As she expected, it was incredibly quiet, with very few people around. Herman turned off the car engine, got out of the car, and Camellia followed suit.Camellia smiled and said, "The most common result of a collaboration between a man and a woman is starting a family. Herman, do you want to marry me?"Herman's eyes narrowed, and he glared at Camellia coldly. Camellia smiled at him brightly. Herman coldly grunted, "Hmph, I'm not interested in you."Camellia was taken aback. I
"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
