Chapter 101 A Choice Between Life and Death
"Why … Why is it you?" Quentin's eyes widened. He'd strangled Jordan's only son, Wayne!At this moment, Wayne's eyes were bulging. His gaze was fixed on Quentin. It was almost as if he was asking Quentin why he had killed him.Marcus slowly emerged from his corner while clapping. "What a touching scene this is. The enforcer is overcome by sorrow after accidentally murdering his boss' son. This headline's gonna shock the world!"Terrence stopped recording and tucked his phone away. He glared at Quentin with bloodshot eyes."I never would've expected you to be someone's lapdog, Terrence." Quentin pulled a handkerchief out of his pockets and wiped the blood on his hands."Did you think you could control me because you have dirt on me? How naive! I'd kill Jordan in a heartbeat if he pisses me off, let alone Wayne!"Quentin brushed the dust off his clothes, looking calm."I'd die if I could take you down with me, let alone be someone's lapdog." Terrence's face was red from suppressin

Chapter 102 Let’s Divorce
"Ben, where's Jordan Coleman?" Marcus asked over the phone.Ben cried, "God, Mr. Coleman! You scared the hell out of me! I've been trying to reach you since hearing Jordan was out to get you, but you never answered. I was worried—""Look, just tell me where Jordan is." Marcus had put his phone on silent mode. Naturally, he wouldn't have heard anyone calling him."He's at Draco Club," Ben said.Marcus hung up and turned to Terrence. "Grab Quentin. We're heading to Draco Club," he commanded. Then, he turned to Clementine. "Don't follow us. Go home.""You—" She wanted to argue but reluctantly relented at the iciness in his eyes. "Lend me your phone. I need to call someone to pick me up.""Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight," Marcus said as he handed his phone to her.Clementine scoffed. She turned and left.Marcus and the others went to Draco Club.…"Mom, Marcus is probably already asleep at this hour. I'll call him tomorrow," Vivian said groggily as she lay in bed.

Chapter 103 You're Marcus Coleman
"But why?" Clementine's eyes widened in confusion."Don't ask. Just do as I say!" Jonathan's tone was final."No, I won't! You're being ungrateful, Dad. If that's how you're gonna act, I don't want you to thank him on my behalf. I'll thank him myself!" Clementine said huffily."Clementine, you're too naive. You've never seen the dark side of society. Think about it—he managed to fork out 10 million dollars to save you, yet he's willing to be the Lorimer family's matrilocal son-in-law. How simple can he be?"Besides, he just happened to show up when you were abducted. I doubt this matter is as simple as it looks!" Jonathan narrowed his eyes."You're gauging him with your own mean measures, Dad. I can't talk to you about this if that's how you're gonna act." Clementine turned away huffily."If that's the case, you should head upstairs to get some rest. I'm gonna skin Jordan Coleman for daring to lay a hand on you," Jonathan said menacingly."That's not necessary. That what's-his-f

Chapter 104 It’s So Dusty in Here
"Yes, that's me." Marcus rubbed his nose. He didn't expect to be so infamous that even people in Camron had heard of him."Marcus, what are you doing here? I was just thinking about looking for you," Clementine said happily. She got to her feet."I came to get my phone. I'm returning to Cromford City today." Marcus sidestepped Jonathan and headed toward the dining table."What? So soon? Will you come to Camron again?" Clementine asked anxiously."I don't know. Where's my phone?" Marcus said a little helplessly. Jonathan was watching him like a hawk. He obviously thought Marcus was up to no good."Here you go …" Clementine bit her lip and handed him the phone reluctantly. When he took it from her, her eyes turned red. "Don't go! Or can you take me with you?""You wouldn't dare! I don't know who you are, Marcus. I also don't know why you've approached Clementine. But please, know your place! Some people are out of your league!" Jonathan roared.Marcus chuckled awkwardly. He didn't

Chapter 105 Can You Take Me In
"That's weird. Why's he leaving just like that?" Clementine said in surprise. The Zeele and Whitman families had been enemies for the longest time.Being able to get some dirt on Clementine was a good opportunity for Lawrence to lord it over her. How could he let the matter slide so easily?"They're a bunch of trash!" Marcus' expression darkened when he saw where Lawrence and his entourage were headed."Oh, no! They're trying to take that young lady away. And they're beating the old man up!" Clementine's eyes widened. "Hurry and save—"She stopped abruptly. Marcus had already disappeared and reappeared behind Lawrence and his gang."Let my … granddaughter go! Please! She's still a child!" the old man pleaded. His old, dazed eyes were filled with tears."Grandpa, Grandpa! Stop hitting him, please! He'll die! He's my only family! Please, stop!" The young lady burst into tears. She knelt on the ground and tried to stop Lawrence and his gang."You want me to let him go? Sure! As lon

Chapter 106 Seeing Vivian Again
"Me, take you in? Why?" Marcus and Clementine exchanged looks. Then, they looked at Leah in confusion."Because … because you're a good guy! And now that Grandpa's gone, I don't know where to go …" Leah wept. She looked at Marcus pitifully.Marcus gave Clementine an awkward glance."Don't look at me! The Whitman and Zeele families are on par with each other, so my family doesn't have much power over them. And I don't know any self-defense. I wouldn't be able to protect Leah if Lawrence gets physical." Clementine shrugged.She looked helpless, but her eyes showed a trace of slyness. She'd like to see how Marcus and Vivian would get alone time with a third party involved."Well … alright, then. But I'm returning to Cromford soon. I'm not staying in Camron." Marcus looked at Leah."It used to be just me and Grandpa. Now that he's gone, I'll go anywhere you go!" Leah said resolutely.Marcus nodded. He felt nervous on the inside, though.He'd been away from Cromford for some time an

Chapter 107 A Little Vixen
"Let's get divorced!" Vivian's voice was shaky. Her heart felt like it'd been stabbed when she said these words.Everyone's eyes widened, and their jaws dropped.Lisa didn't expect this. She leaned close to Vivian. "Are you out of your mind, Vivian? Even if you want to get a divorce, this isn't the time!"Hurry up and tell him to head home first! Get the money before kicking him to the curb!" Lisa whispered urgently."Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Marcus looked lost. He had no idea what was happening."No, I'm not. I've never been more clearheaded in my life! Marcus, we're not right for each other. It's best for us to go our separate ways." Vivian tried her best to put up a strong front, but tears filled her eyes.They'd been married for three years. Though she was reluctant to let that go, she couldn't look past his mistakes. She couldn't accept a relationship that had three people in it.Vivian could accept Marcus no matter how good-for-nothing and worthless he

Chapter 108 Explosive Manliness
"I'm not a little vixen …" Leah shrunk against the door jamb. Her eyes were slightly red."Hmph! Don't think you've found a prince in this frog. He's nothing but our family's matrilocal son-in-law!" Lisa gave Marcus a contemptuous look."Ignore her. Come on in," Marcus said coldly. He stepped forward and tugged Leah into the house by the hand.Vivian was a little uncomfortable to see him holding another woman's hand. Still, she waited for him to explain."This is a friend of mine. She doesn't have any more family, so … she's gonna stay with us from now on," Marcus said."Is this the young lady you mentioned earlier? The one those bullies were harassing?" Vivian's eyes widened. Marcus had told her what had happened.Marcus nodded."Why didn't you say so earlier? Come and sit! Leah, right? From today onward, this is your home, so make yourself comfortable." Vivian pulled Leah onto the seat beside her. She caressed Leah's hair gently."Okay. You're so pretty, Vivian!" Leah said en

Chapter 109 A Disaster for the Family
"I can't drink!" Vivian looked a little repulsed. As expected, Shane was as much a player as the rumors said."Oh? Is it because you think I'm not worthy of drinking with you, Ms. Lorimer? Are you sure this is how you want to act around me?" Shane's tone turned icy."No, it's not that. I'm alcohol intolerant. My doctor said I can't have even a sip of alcohol," Vivian said. She was trying to be patient.If not for Nora warning her to seal this deal, she would've left long ago!"How about I drink this with you? That should be okay, right?" Marcus grabbed the bottle of cognac."Of course! I'm not the type to force others to do things they don't want. But if you're the one drinking, you should finish at least two bottles to show your sincerity." Shane smirked.This was his true purpose. Once he got Marcus drunk, he could have his way with Vivian!"That makes sense." Marcus popped the cognac open and started gulping it like it was nothing."Marcus, stop! That's enough!" Vivian tugge

Chapter 110 The Drakon
"You'd better deal with this in a way that doesn't piss me off," Marcus said lowly. Then, he hung up."How dare you hang up on my father! My family won't let you off the hook for this! Do you know what happened to the last guy who pissed me off? I broke all his limbs!" Shane threatened.Once his father got here, he would show Marcus what hell was like!"Marcus, you're in trouble now! Tom Zety's incredibly powerful in Clafford. I heard he's connected to the Dark Dragon in Camron."He won't let you off the hook for making his only son end up like this. Hurry and head home, then find a way to leave Cromford for now," Vivian said anxiously.She stuffed a credit card into his pocket as she spoke."What're you gonna do when I'm gone?" Marcus looked at the credit card, feeling warm. He held Vivian's trembling hand lightly."Forget about me! They won't do anything to me!" Vivian stomped a foot."I'm not going anywhere." Marcus shook his head."Don't worry, Ms. Lorimer. Mr. Coleman mus
