Chapter 63:
The oppressive silence that replaced the scorching heat of that bright afternoon only further fueled the Sterling family's malicious intent to provoke the quiet man standing before them.Feeling that her string of verbal insults had done nothing but crash against a wall of steel without drawing any reaction, Seraphina's slender fingers suddenly tightened their grip around the plastic cup of iced drink in her right hand.The fashionably dressed woman raised her hand while curling her lips into a crooked smile, then deliberately splashed the entire dark-colored liquid across the front of Marcus's body.The brownish, strong-smelling stain along with chunks of ice immediately seeped into the fibers of the simple clothes they had mocked from the very beginning.The cold drink trickled down from his collar to the hem of his shirt, creating a filthy sight amid the grandeur of the elite shopping district.A shrill laugh of satisfaction instantly cut through the crowd from behind Seraphina's b
Chapter 62:
The sharp morning sunlight did nothing to slow Marcus as he followed behind Quinn, wrapping up a string of outdoor work-related matters.They decided to part ways at the intersection in the business district right after his wife hurried off to attend a sudden shareholders' meeting.Marcus strolled through the upscale open-air shopping district while planning a small purchase to surprise his wife.His casual outfit, which looked rather worn, created a striking contrast against the rows of aristocratic designer boutiques lining the street.His footsteps came to an abrupt halt when two familiar figures suddenly cut him off right in front of a classic-style café.Alexander and Seraphina Sterling blocked the sidewalk like a pair of rulers who had just stepped in something filthy within their own domain.Seraphina's eyes swept over Marcus from head to toe, all the way down to his worn-out shoes, a deep frown forming on her forehead."Well, look who's daring enough to wander around flaunting
Chapter 61: one step closer
In the dimly lit master bedroom, Marcus stood facing the vanity mirror, removing his worn leather jacket in one motion before placing it on the hanger.In another corner of the room, Quinn sat leaning against the headboard, silently observing her husband's every movement.They had shared this room for the past few weeks, dividing territory like business partners living side by side.Marcus calmly stepped toward the worn-out sofa in the corner of the room, which had been his domain every night.However, the air temperature suddenly dropped sharply through the gap in the window right behind the furniture.The man slowly bent his legs, trying to find a suitable position in the narrow space without complaining.The sofa was so small, even only as long as his knees and only able to accommodate three-quarters of Marcus’s large body.Seeing her husband's stiff posture, Quinn’s grip on the edge of the blanket gradually loosened.Memories of how the man's broad back had blocked Dominic Vance’s
Chapter 60: plan no escape route
Victor slammed a thick stack of old Langford Industries project documents onto his father's mahogany desk."The Langford project was only approved a few weeks ago and hasn’t even been carried out yet," Victor explained as he pulled out a red folder bearing the company’s logo."However, Quinn left far too many digital traces during the initial drafting phase before we kicked her out," the man continued with a widening grin.Sebastian leaned forward, tracing the sheets of white paper with his wrinkled fingers."What exactly are you showing me, Victor?" the old man asked as he adjusted his glasses."A ticket to prison for my beloved niece," Victor replied. "Langford refused to cooperate with us because they consider Quinn a valuable asset.""Then we simply need to uproot that ridiculous narrative," he continued."We turn Dominic Voss’s proud saintly hero into a greedy embezzler who manipulates corporate audits."He picked up a gold pen from the desk, pointing at a series of transactions o
Chapter 59: Inheritance
ThornwallThe darkness of the night that enveloped the main residence of the Kane family felt as cold as an old grave waiting for its new occupant.Behind the double doors, the pungent smell of medicine mingled with the metallic scent of death that was slowly gnawing away at the patriarch.The sound of wet coughing echoed, tearing through the silence of the luxurious room that suddenly felt hollow.The man on the canopy bed coughed violently until fresh blood stained his expensive silk handkerchief.Instead of lying down helplessly waiting for the angel of death to come, he grabbed an antique urn from the bedside table and hurled it toward the line of black-uniformed subordinates in front of him without a hint of guilt.The porcelain shards worth billions of dollars scattered across the Persian carpet as if they were no more valuable than junk from a flea market."Find Marcus right now!" the man roared hoarsely.Bluish veins bulged horrifically along his neck as he glared at his subor
Chapter 58
The apartment door opened with a soft creak. Footsteps dragged across the threshold.Quinn immediately hurried over, her eyes widening at the sight of their arrival.Her usual calm expression shattered instantly.The woman ran toward her mother’s figure. Quinn rushed forward and embraced Diane tightly.Quinn’s sobs broke free, burying her face as she poured out all the emotions that had been churning within her over the past few hours.Diane returned her daughter’s embrace with a trembling body. Not a single word escaped her lips.After a while, Quinn slowly released the hug. She turned to look at her husband who stood silently.Without hesitation, Quinn pulled Marcus into her arms. The scent of sweat mixed with the metallic tang of blood immediately pierced her senses.Marcus returned the embrace with his right hand, allowing his wife to lean against his chest in search of comfort.Quinn’s breathing was still uneven as she held back the remnants of her tears. She pulled away and exam
