All Chapters of Between Love and Scandal: Chapter 51 - Chapter 56

Since yesterday's incident, Mark's relationship with this family has been strained. He could not speak his mind. He still felt unworthy and inferior because he was just an adopted son who owed this family a favour.Saturday was a day off. Mark and Lucas were at their big house. They ate together at the dining table, accompanied by Lisa, who wore heavy make-up to attract Mark's attention. But it didn't change anything. It seemed that no matter how hard Lisa tried, Mark still wouldn't see her as the grown-up girl.“Brother,” Lisa called out, causing them to turn their heads together. However, Lisa's eyes on Mark made Lucas continue with his breakfast.“Mark,” Lisa called again, her voice hoarse from yesterday's incident. But once again, Mark did not answer her. The man continued to act indifferent as if he already hated him. That didn't make the stubborn Lisa give up so easily.“Brother Mark!” Lisa shouted, pounding on the table.

He tried to formulate a short sentence to explain his situation."My current dad is not my real dad. They took care of me at the orphanage when I was ten years old. We have a younger sister called Lisa. Because we had always obeyed her wishes for a long time, there was a misunderstanding between her and me." Pause."This

Mark left Howard's house with only a few dollars in cash. Fortunately, it was enough for Mark to rent a cheap inn for at least the next few nights. He couldn't walk any further with his suitcase. Mark turned a deaf ear to Lucas' repeated calls for him when he decided to leave and refuse Lucas' offer. He already didn't care what the man said. Sacrificing his own feelings just for money? Ha, absolutely ridiculous.If Mark's hard work for the Howard family company was not appreciated, then there was no point in staying. He had not been a member of their family from the beginning. Even this time, Mark seemed to be disregarded simply because he didn't share Lisa's feelings. For God's sake, Mark loved Lisa. But this wasn't the kind of affection he felt. Lisa would be his little sister and would never change.Mark would genuinely be someone else in the Howard family. He managed to stay out of Lucas' way, even though he had to give up all his hard work. Sometimes, he wondered if he was missin
