Marcel was captured by the Beautiful Lady and would have worked if not for the scumbag that was standing right beside her.

Meanwhile, Beauty could not find a place in her head to believe that he had moved on so quickly and her eyes farrowed, trying to process things in her head.

It just couldn't be possible.

"I can see that you have gotten a new job haven't you?" She shot a stare at the lady who was standing right beside him.

They could not recognize who she was but from the looks of things, they could tell that she was wealthy.

"I don't think that she realized what she has done to herself." Marcel chuckled.

"From the looks of things ma'am, I can tell that you have enough potential to get someone better than him."

"Excuse you?" Her eyes farrowed and she clenched her fist. "I didn't get what it is that you are trying to say." She added, still staring right into their eyes.

"Okay. I guess that it's not long that the both of you meant but you just need to Know. This fool here is going to be nothing but a burden and you should look for someone better for yourself." He flicked his eyes in such a way that she was the only one who could get the message that she was trying to pass across to him and she frowned almost immediately.

She Walked gradually towards her young master and touched her on his chest to all their surprise.

"I don't understand what the both of you are talking about but this is my new boyfriend.". She spat out the words from her mouth and a loud scoff escaped from his lips.

Meanwhile, the other duo burst out into stalk laughter almost immediately.

Victoria was trying to make it look real, pushing herself on him but even though she was sexy, he was so uncomfortable With what she was doing...

He tapped her slightly by her shoulders but she didn't seem to get what he was trying to pass across to her or she just decided that she was going to ignore it all the way.

Meanwhile, he could not deny anyone since he already knew that she was trying to save his face.

He could feel his heart racing fast as though it was going to burst through and he wished that all of that was over already

But it didn't seem like something that would be over with anytime soon.

The dark duo soon recovered from their laughter, pulling away from their squatting position.

"That was a joke wasn't it?" Marcel inquired, clutching hard to his stomach and hoping that it was not true.

But the look on her face didn't seem like something even close to a joke.

Her eyes were penetrating deep into them and the frown that was hanging on her face deepened Even more.

"Do I look like someone that is joking?" She Kept a straight face while she continued to stare at them right into the eyes.

Beauty could not believe the words that she just spat out from her mouth and she was still trying hard to process it in his head.

Meanwhile, Marcel kept on staring at them confused, and for a while, he could not think straight.

A flash of jealousy and envy flushed through his spine.

He just could not imagine how such a poor fellow like him could be getting all the beautiful ladies that he wanted.

He just got divorced and he already had someone else.

He wished that he could go over to the Lady and snatch her away from him. And if there was a way that he could chase him away from the city as a whole, he was going to do it without a second thought.

"I think that you have made a grievous mistake. How can a beautiful and rich lady hook up with a mana-broke man who is finally able to break the silence that surrounds the whole place?

Meanwhile, it seemed as though beauty was just coming back to her right senses, and this time, her focus was not on the lady, rather it was on him

Her face twisted into a frown and anger rushed through her blood as she shot a deadly glare at him.

"So all this while. You have always been cheating on me and you had the guts to call me names you fool?" She was still trying to get over everything that happened the last time and seeing him getting hooked with someone already pissed her off.

He scoffed at her audacity. "I don't get you, Beauty. I thought that you no longer wanted me so why the sudden jealousy?"

"Jealousy?" She scoffed.

"I am just angry that you have the guts to accuse someone about the crime that you are also guilty of."

At this point, Victoria decided that it was time for her to step into the issue and rescue her young master before it was way too late.

"To the best of my knowledge, we just meant a few days ago after he rescued me from a group of thugs."

"This is the Ex that you were talking about?" She inquired Turning over to him with a seductive smile hanging on her face.

Without spitting out a single word from his mouth, he nodded his head.

She walked a few inches away from her and walked gradually towards Ethan, kissing him on the cheeks.

"Such a rare gem that you have lost though." I have to tell you.

Beauty gritted her teeth but the most angry person among them was Marcel as she kept on staring at the random lady.

Beauty was about to say something but she could not find her words when they broke into a sudden stutter.

He scoffed, turning over to her.

"Wait! I have never heard you stutter before. Have you lost your self-confidence all of a sudden?" He glared at him and she fell backwards at his words.

    “Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv
