After the photos were done, Mr. Marcus called Lionel. "We have been friends for eight years, so you can figure out how to handle this matter on your own!"On the other end, Lionel received the email and whistled. "Wow... You've become a lovestruck man?? When did this happen? You didn't even inform me. It seems my secretary's charm is irresistible!""Who said she's your secretary?" Marcus coldly retorted, transmitting his icy tone perfectly through the phone."Hey, hey, hey... Mr. Marcus, don't be so jealous. Your attitude towards asking for help is not correct. Sweetheart, you're quite arrogant!""It's disgusting. Don't call me sweetheart!""Oh, hahaha... relax, I'll have my team work overnight to modify the articles. We'll write your love story so captivating that it'll astound the gods and make the spirits weep. We made sure to portray Mr. Marcus as the most devoted man in history..."The twisted laughter made Henry shudder involuntarily."Thanks!""Remember, you agreed to my condit
"Mummy, we would be found out sooner or later. It's okay. The Smith family and the Walker family have known about our existence for a while. If let them leak the information, they would throw dirt on us. It's better for Daddy to take preemptive action. That's called being proactive!" Henry cutely bit into his toast, speaking unclearly. He innocently defended his dear daddy.Jessica was speechless about them. Mr. Marcus was ruthless, including both her and Henry in his plan. Along with the post on the forum that Handsome Money Boy wrote, which direction would this matter go in?It was getting more and more lively!If it was someone else's excitement, she might have enjoyed it with a cup of coffee. But if it was hers..."Jessica, are you angry?" Mr. Marcus asked, blocking Henry in front of him.Henry rolled his eyes at him. Oh, Daddy, if you married my mommy, you would definitely be henpecked!"Do you care if I'm angry?" Jessica coolly put down the newspaper. "You acted without consulti
At the seaside villa, the sunlight today wasn't as scorching. After a nap, Mr. Marcus took Henry swimming while Jessica sat on the beach, reading her book and cheering for Henry. The child still couldn't swim!Mr. Marcus's physique was indeed impressive. Jessica couldn't help but let her gaze drift towards Mr. Marcus.She hadn't carefully observed him eight years ago, but now, under the sunlight, she could see him clearly.The inverted triangle golden ratio, because of the cruel years he experienced from a young age, he had great physical abilities, and his muscles were superb! He looked strong and powerful with every move, exuding a sense of fitness and prowess!Jessica's heart pounded. She truly had no resistance towards handsome men, especially such a top-notch physique. She felt a bit jealous of her son who could freely touch...Oh, no... Jessica, you lustful woman! What kind of things are you thinking in your head!You're so obsessed with beauty, there's no cure for you!The more
As Jessica turned her head, she saw Marcus entering with a gloomy face, followed by Old Mr. Alston and Vincent. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and she frowned slightly.When Old Mr. Alston saw Jessica, his already grim face became even darker, and he questioned Marcus, "Why she is here?"Marcus glanced coldly and mockingly at him. "This is my house, and you have no right to interfere!"He sneered. Ironically, this was the first time Old Mr. Alston came to visit. Over the years, whenever he needed to speak with him, it was always a phone call, ordering him to come to the Smith family mansion.Old Mr. Alston glared fiercely at Jessica, about to say something, but Vincent stopped him, shaking his head as if to indicate not to provoke Marcus, as they were here to discuss something after all.Old Mr. Alston reluctantly suppressed his anger and commanded, "Get this woman out of here. I have something to discuss with you."Jessica frowned unhappily. Honestly, this old man was really a
Marcus pursed his lips, went upstairs, and found the mother and son laughing together.Upon seeing Marcus enter, Jessica smiled and gestured for her son to prepare a midnight snack. "Sweetie, go serve his appetite!"Henry jumped off the bed, cutely pouted, stuck out his tongue at Mr. Marcus, and then quickly ran downstairs to cook a midnight snack."Have you ever thought about getting married?" Mr. Marcus didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, staring intently into Jessica's face, as if wanting to see a certain expression on it.To his surprise, Miss Jessica smiled as usual and teasingly raised her eyebrow, "Mr. Marcus, are you proposing?"Mr. Marcus's ears reddened slightly, his gaze became sharp, and he sounded a bit rude as he replied, "What if I am?"Jessica fell silent. Was this a proposal? It looked more like a tyrant forcing a marriage!"Do you think we meet the conditions for marriage?" Jessica erased her smile and asked calmly, with rare seriousness in her eyes."Wha
Henry, at the door, smiled. His dad was truly clever.In a small way, Mommy might have the upper hand, but the final decision was always made by his dad.Since Mommy said that marriage was something two people in love should do, and she refused to marry him because Dad didn't love her. When Dad asked if he loved her and then she would agree to marry him, she nodded, wasn't it obvious that she loved him?The little boy chuckled mischievously. He always said that Dad's cunning was unmatched. Look at this proposal scene, how magnificent it was. He used various tactics and eventually got Mommy to say what he wanted.He truly admired Dad.Indeed, that love required skills. He needed to learn more, it would come in handy in the future!With a cup of water in her hands, little Henry elegantly walked into his bedroom. Mr. Marcus had no idea what kind of twisted example he was setting for his son!"You bastard!" Jessica's face turned red as she cursed. She really wanted to slap the smile off h
Jessica was having breakfast, when she saw the televised event she spewed milk out of her mouth, shocked and speechless."Mr. Marcus, have you gone mad?" she exclaimed."How courageous!" she thought. Although she was disgusted by that female reporter's question, Mr. Marcus, at least pay attention to your image!Jessica began to feel her heart tighten. Why had he suddenly become so passionate, when he usually kept everything inside, remaining calm and composed?Her heart was inexplicably pounding!Mr. Marcus coldly scanned the journalists and emphasized each word, saying, "Anyone who shows even the slightest disrespect towards my woman and son will be shut down!"His words were domineering and arrogant, consistent with Mr. Marcus's uncompromising style.Without waiting for the crowd to react, he smoothly entered the Noblefull Group building.Quincy watched this scene from his office, his usually gentle face now clouded with complexity. He had mixed feelings about Mr. Marcus's behavior.
One afternoon, Jessica was reheating the soup that Henry had cooked in the morning when she received a call from Quincy."Old Mr. Lee wants to see me?" Jessica turned off the stove, grabbed her cane, and walked out of the kitchen. She pursed her lips, wondering why Old Mr. Lee was so determined to meet him.That day at the banquet, after seeing her, he seemed greatly affected.Well, let's meet then!Considering Quincy's her senior, she agreed, "Fine, I'm free in the afternoon.""Where are you? I'll come pick you up!" Quincy sounded a bit desolate when he said this. His people had told him that Jessica and Henry lived in Marcus's house. She had almost forgotten that they were still in the stage of pretending to be a couple.Perhaps, from beginning to end, he was the only one who wanted to get closer to her. And she had never thought about it."No need, just make a reservation at a restaurant to meet. I'll come over," Jessica replied."Is your leg okay?""I'm fine.""Alright, shall we m
"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
