A few moments later, Julia was sitting in Marcus' car as they headed toward the Alfred family estate. when her mother called her. She had told her to come home back. Telling her it urgent. Now, she was in the car with marcus. "You were right," she said. "You said they'd call me back, and they really did. How did you know?"Marcus merely shrugged."Just a wild guess. You're the most capable person in that family. You're the one keeping their company alive. Once they lose you, they'll eventually realize they can't run things without you."Julia felt a warmth spread through her chest.A moment later, her expression turned serious again."I still can't believe it," she murmured. "Sancho's entire empire... it just collapsed overnight like that. AQSA was one of the biggest companies in the country."She slowly shook her head."I'm sure they offended someone far more powerful than anyone could imagine and that person released those files."Marcus simply scoffed."Who knows?"...Several m

"Wait... wait."Mr. Alfred hurriedly raised his hand, stopping Julia before she could leave."Your condition is unfair. This is still my company. As the chairman, I should have the authority to appoint or remove any executive whenever I see fit."Julia looked at him calmly."You're right. it is your company, but it's also the Alfred family's business."She slowly glanced around the room."If the company falls, every one of you sitting here will be affected. That includes you, Grandfather."Victoria could no longer contain herself. She shot to her feet. "And who do you think you are?" she snapped."This family can survive perfectly well without you!"Julia couldn't help but scoff."Oh? then why am I here? you were the ones who kicked me out. Now the company is standing on the brink of collapse, and you're begging me to come back.""If the board of directors discovers that we've lost our backing from the Langstone family, do you know what they'll do? so for the moment, you can't survive

Marcus awkwardly scratched the back of his head and forced out a dry laugh."Actually... I didn't mean..."Before he could finish explaining himself, his phone suddenly vibrated inside his pocket.Buzz... Buzz...The ringing instantly cut through the awkward atmosphere between them.Marcus secretly let out a sigh of relief before pulling out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID, he saw Betty's name flashing across the screen.He quickly answered the call. "Hello.""Marcus, where are you?" Betty asked from the other end. Her voice sounded slightly hurried. "The company has just assigned us a new field survey. we have to carry out today."Marcus glanced at Julia before replying, "Oh, okay. I will be there in a few minutes."After ending the call, he slipped the phone back into his pocket and looked at Julia with an apologetic smile."I have to go. The company just gave us an assignment, i am sorry."Julia smiled gently and nodded. "It's okay. Work comes first."Marcus returned the

Betty's face instantly turned pale.Her fingers tightened around her phone until her knuckles turned white.She had only wanted to stop innocent people from being beaten, but now nearly twenty armed men had surrounded the two of them from every direction. Every one of those men carried a thick wooden stick, and several of them were much larger than Marcus.Her heartbeat pounded wildly inside her chest."Marcus..." she called nervously, unconsciously grabbing the sleeve of his shirt. "T-There are too many of them."Before she could say another word, Marcus calmly took a step forward.Without saying anything, he gently stretched out one arm, guiding Betty behind him.The simple movement immediately made Betty freeze.Standing behind Marcus' broad back, she suddenly felt strangely safe despite the overwhelming danger surrounding them.Marcus slowly exhaled. His eyes narrowed as his breathing became calm. Then...His bracelet activated.A faint warmth spread through his entire body.The le

The old man let out a long, weary sigh."Young man, each of these houses is worth at least forty thousand dollars. Some even more. And they are offering us eight thousand. Eight thousand dollars for a home a family has lived in for thirty, forty years."Marcus scoffed in disbeliefThe old man nodded slowly. "And that's only for the homeowners. The tenants..." He shook his head. "The tenants get nothing at all. Not a single dollar. They are simply told to pack their belongings and leave."Betty pressed her lips together. "That's terrible.""But it gets worse." Another elderly woman leaned forward, lowering her voice. "Wang Entertainment has been telling people that they will receive additional compensation once the casino launches. That they will be treated as investors. That the money will come."Marcus looked at her steadily. "It all lie. don't believe it"The woman let out a hollow laugh. "We didn't. That is how they operate. That is how they have always operated. They make promises

The room fell silent. Master Jace, who had been drinkinh, stopped mid-way. Then he let out a cold scoff. "Are you kidding me?". His sharp eyes locked onto the kneeling gang leader. "You're telling me one man defeated over twenty of my men?" The gang leader lowered his head even further. "Yes, Master Jace." "He fought all of us alone. He knocked everyone to the ground in less than a minute." His voice trembled as he recalled the scene. "I've never seen anyone move that fast before. Every punch landed before we even realized what had happened." Master Jace stared at him for several seconds before letting out a mocking laugh. "And you still have the nerve to stand here and tell me one man humiliated all of you?" "I... I thought you should know the truth, Master." The gang leader swallowed hard. "That man is extremely strong. If we return, he'll probably be there again... and we can't handle him." "You can't handle one man?" The gang leader remained silent, too ashame

Jessica gulped, continuing pleadingly. "Please, I just have to ask her some questions. It's really important." The receptionist insisted firmly, "Without an appointment, I can't let you go up. I'm sorry, but those are the rules." Jessica sniffled, her eyes glistening with frustrated tears. She leaned forward desperately. "Okay, okay, what about this? Call her and say Jessica wants to see her. Marcus's ex-wife." She stated it with conviction, believing Natalie would want to see her if that connection was mentioned. Though the receptionist looked reluctant, seeing the woman's genuine desperation, she had no choice but to pick up the phone and dial Ms. Natalie. "Hello?" Natalie replied coolly. "What is it?" The receptionist spoke carefully. "Someone wants to meet you. Ms. Jessica, Mr. Marcus's ex-wife, as she told me to say." Natalie frowned on the other end, wondering what Jessica would want to see her for after all this time. "Ask her what she is here for." The receptionist turne

Eden placed the exquisite ceramic vase gently on the center table. It had delicate scriptures etched along its gracefully curved body, adorned with subtle blue and gold patterns that blended seamlessly into an elegant yet understated design. The vase shimmered faintly under the chandelier light, its surface smooth and refined, but by the look of it, no one would guess its extraordinary value, it resembled any tasteful decorative piece one might find in upscale homes, unassuming at first glance. "This is a limited edition piece by a renowned artist," Eden said casually, his voice carrying quiet confidence. "It is worth three million dollars. I give you this as a gift." Everyone popped their eyes wide open in sheer disbelief. "What the fuck?" one uncle muttered under his breath. "What the hell? A three million dollar vase as a gift?" Whispers of astonishment rippled through the room as eyes darted between the vase and the generous giver. Mrs. Alfred leaned forward, her face light

Julia was very emotional as she stormed out of the family home, tears streaming down her face. Her chest heaved with frustration and heartbreak. She made her way quickly to her hotel apartment, the one she had kept as a private escape. Once inside, needing support more than ever, she broke down and dialed Marcus. Her voice trembled through the phone. He arrived within ten minutes, concern etched on his face as he rushed in and saw her crying on the edge of the bed. "Hey, why are you crying? What's wrong?" Marcus asked gently, pulling her into his arms. Julia leaned into him, sobbing as she poured out everything—the betrayal at the family meeting, Victoria's new boyfriend, the insults thrown at him, and how they strip her of the COO position. "I just want to live my life," she whispered brokenly. "I can't do this anymore." Marcus sighed, stroking her hair. "Everything will be okay." At that moment, Julia couldn't hold her emotions any longer. She gazed up at Marcus, her eyes
Chapter 140.
Marcus instantly made his way there. He didn’t take long—maybe fifteen minutes after the call, he arrived at the scene. As he reached the neighborhood square, he saw the leader of the gang standing boldly with his men. This time, they hadn’t beaten anyone yet. The residents were shouting at them, trying to scare them off while holding their own makeshift weapons—sticks, iron rods, and stones. One elderly man yelled, “Why isn’t the police here yet!” Another added angrily, “Why can’t you leave us alone or pay us what you should?” Marcus stepped forward calmly. “I should have follow up with the police yesterday so I could make sure you get locked up forever.” The thugs turned as their leader faced Marcus and grinned wickedly. “Yes, finally. You are here. I have been waiting for you.” The people erupted in joy, shouting, “Our hero! Our hero!” "He is here! you are all doom!" Meanwhile, upstairs on the first floor overlooking the ground, Six stood hidden in the shadows. He was h
