CHAPTER NINETY-TWO The middle-aged lady sniffled, and then she nodded, wiping remaining tears on her face.“I am so sorry…” She apologized, and even though Marcus nodded, he couldn’t get rid of the annoyance that was all over his face. He wasn’t angered by the lady’s emotions, but the story she had told, and the fact that the event he had been forced to attend was yet to start. “Maybe I shouldn’t have come here.” He thought to himself, his mind filled with regret. Then he took a deep breath, and then he cleared his throat, preparing to break his silence. When he was certain that the lady was not ready to speak, it seemed like she was about to prove him wrong. “I would do anything for you to help me, Mr. Trevor. Anything at all…” Wendy’s tone was laced with a little desperation, and while she was still attempting to get a grip on herself, Marcus was busy attempting to find the most suitable response to give to her. “Just mention it, Mr. Trevor…” She insisted, her voice still sl

“Don’t let your father deceive you, Tammy…” Wendy shifted her focus to her child, staring at her with tears in her eyes. “I loved you and put you first, and you know it. All I ever wanted was to provide for you, to give you the life that your father here couldn’t. I just couldn’t sit and watch you suffer, so I decided to go all out just because I love you!” She was still struggling not to drop her tears, staring at her daughter without blinking.But her expression fell the moment Tamar scoffed, watering down all her efforts. “What a funny way of showing it, Wendy…” Tamara snorted, her words piercing into her mother sharper than a sword. “You didn’t care about me, Wendy…” Tamara continued with a lower but audible tone, and as her father nodded in satisfaction, she was still looking for more hurtful words to say.“You just wanted to rebuild what was left of your father’s stupid and old garage. You just wanted to take care of that junkyard!”“Don’t say that!” Wendy shook her head in t

CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN Sam’s eyes widened as soon as he saw the ticket, and even Tamara drew closer to take a look. “There must be a mistake, Daddy,” Tamara whispered when her father turned to her for explanations. “What do you mean, Tamara?” Sam’s voice was laced with annoyance, his angry eyes turning from the ticket, back to his daughter, and then to the ticket. “This is the exact ticket that I gave you to give to Miss Queen…” He looked at the ticket carefully again, and then he cleared his throat, anger churning inside his stomach.“How the hell did it get into the hands of…” He turned to Marcus, his eyes burning with disdain. “This… This…” He pointed at him, not knowing what exactly to call him. Then he growled, returning his gaze to his daughter. “I need you to answer me, Tammy. Tell me the truth…”“Yes, Daddy…” Tamara nodded, and then she took a deep breath, struggling with the feelings that gripped her. Sam looked at the ticket once again, and then he shifted his gaze to Ma

CHAPTER NINETY-NINE Queen was already waiting to land more slaps on Sam’s face, shaking with both annoyance and nervousness. “That’s enough…” Marcus’s tone made her stop, and instantly, she shifted backward, looking at him as he approached. Sam was still shaking like a leaf, whimpering and grunting to the pain that had engulfed him. His eyes moved from one of the guards to the other and unable to deal with their furious glare, he turned to Marcus, hoping that it was going to be easier for him to deal with looking at him.“I am so sorry, Mr. Trevor…” He paused for a few seconds, attempting to get a grip on himself. “I am so sorry, Mr. Trevor. I didn’t know that you were the same person we were all waiting for! I swear!” He went down, but the moment he tried to grab Marcus by the legs, the two guards closest to him pushed him before he could reach Marcus’s feet.Sam grunted, panting profusely while he was still attempting to get a grip on himself. At that moment, even his daughter

“What?!” Lora gasped, staring with wide eyes.“You did what?!” She asked with a shaky tone, but Sam couldn’t say anything else, looking down in shame. Lora turned to look at Wendy, but she could only stare at him for a few seconds before she turned to look at Marcus, taking a deep breath. She thought that she could say a word to him, but she found herself being mute for more than ten seconds. Forced to return her gaze to her boss, she glared at him, eyes burning with annoyance. “I can’t believe you made me cause another woman so much pain, Mr. Loath…” Her voice was low and gripped with so much emotion. She took a deep breath, and then she turned to look at Wendy, gulping noisily. “I am so sorry, Mrs. Loath…” She apologized, but it seemed she had only made the situation worse, prompting Wendy to grunt in annoyance. “Why are you calling me Mrs. Loath?” Wendy growled at her, causing her to look away at once.When Lora finally returned her gaze to Wendy, she still couldn’t get hers
