Chapter TwelveThe entire hall exploded into an uproar once again.Nobody could believe what they had just heard. Lady Sophia of the Wilson Group had publicly declared that Marcus was her future husband, and the same man everyone had been humiliating only moments ago was now standing beside the most powerful woman in the entire hall.Genevieve suddenly felt an inexplicable stab of pain and unwillingness in her chest. She couldn't accept what she was seeing. The man who had once revolved around her, humbly trying to please her every day, was now standing beside a woman who surpassed her in status, beauty, and presence in every possible way.She had been certain that Marcus would regret losing her.She had believed he would eventually realize that nobody would ever want a useless ex-convict like him.Yet now, the reality standing before her was completely different.Donald’s eyes turned red with jealousy. Just moments ago, he had been completely captivated by Lady Sophia, secretly fanta

Chapter Fourteen"Marcus, you piece of trash!" Genevieve screamed hysterically, her face completely red from humiliation. "How dare you treat me like this? I'm the woman you abandoned your dignity for! You spent three years in prison and now you think you've suddenly become someone important?"Donald also struggled against the heavy chains wrapped around him."You better take these chains off me right now!" he roared. "Do you even know who you're dealing with? My family will make you pay for this humiliation. I'll make sure you regret the day you ever laid your hands on me!"Marcus simply stared at the two of them.There was not even the slightest trace of fear on his face. "You still don't understand your situation," he said calmly."Situation?" Donald laughed angrily. "You're the one who should be worried! You think Sophia will protect you forever? Once I make one call, your little confidence will disappear!"Sophia's beautiful face instantly turned cold. She looked at Donald as tho

Chapter SixteenThe next morning, Marcus stood directly in front of the largest pharmacy in the city and stared at the massive building.The pharmacy occupied an entire corner of the busy commercial district. Its glass walls reflected the morning sunlight, while several expensive cars were parked outside. People constantly walked in and out, and uniformed employees stood near the entrance.Marcus slowly raised his head. "Hopefully, they have everything I need." His thoughts immediately returned to Jenny.She was still sleeping at the hotel.For the first time in years, Marcus had finally found a little peace for his family. His mother was safe, his sister was temporarily comfortable, and he now had the resources to change their lives completely.But there was still one thing he couldn't stop thinking about.Jenny's eyes.She had lived in darkness for far too long.Marcus had already examined her condition carefully, and he knew ordinary treatment would never be enough. Her eyes had su

Chapter EighteenMarcus took out his phone and quickly typed down the list of medicinal materials he needed, then handed it to Ethan."These are the herbs I'm looking for."Ethan took the list and carefully went through it. "Some of these we can provide immediately," he said. "But a few of them are extremely rare. We don't have them in stock right now."Marcus nodded. "I understand.""But don't worry," Ethan continued. "I'll personally keep an eye out for the ones we don't have. The Sterling family has connections in many places. I'll make sure to find them for you.""Thank you." Marcus appreciated it. "You don't have to thank me. I should be the one doing that because you're the one who saved my life" Ethan let out. Then he remembered that he hadn't asked his name. "Sorry I forgot to ask what's your name?""Marcus Richmond," Marcus said. "Ethan Sterling, and my granddaughter Camelia Sterling" Ethan also introduced himself properly. "I know already," he replied. Marcus didn't inte

Chapter 20"Father needs to know about this," Camellia said to herself. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed her father's number.The call connected after a few seconds."Camellia? Why are you calling me this when you know I'll be busy? What happened to our free chatting time" a deep voice asked from the other end"Father, something happened today and I can't just wait until your free time, I need to report it" Camellia said immediately, her voice carried a trace of anger.Smith Sterling was a highly decorated general. He was a powerful man who had spent most of his life serving the country. Even among the Sterling family, his position commanded great respect."Tell me what happened" He said..Camellia took a deep breath and began explaining everything. She told him about Ethan's sudden collapse in the pharmacy, and Marcus appearing out of nowhere and treating her grandfather with acupuncture.She explained how the doctors at the hospital had been shocked by Ethan's recovery.
