Chapter 114
Jessica was shocked by what she had just heard. Did someone just say he would kill Marcus? She listened carefully again. “Okay, boss. I’ll frame it as a hit-and-run, and no one will find out,” the man said again. Jessica gasped and immediately covered her mouth so she would not make a sound. Seeing that the man would be out any minute, she quickly rushed away. Meanwhile, the man stepped out and looked around, confirming that no one had heard him. Jessica immediately dashed to where Marcus had been before, but he had already left. Jessica staggered back, shaking her head as panic clawed at her chest. “No… no… no… Marcus… no…” she mumbled under her breath, her voice trembling badly. Travis, who had been standing nearby, immediately noticed the way she looked like all the blood had drained from her face. He rushed toward her, frowning deeply. “Jessica, what’s going on?” he asked, grabbing her lightly by the arm. “Why are you talking about Marcus? Did he do something? What happene

Marcus could only sigh as he stared at Jessica. The taxi still hadn’t arrived and after everything that had happened that night, he really wasn’t in the mood for another argument. “Talk about what?” he asked. Jessica folded her arms. “We need to talk.” Sensing the tension between them, Betty glanced at Marcus and quietly excused herself. “I’ll give you two some space.” Once she left, the silence between them grew heavier. Jessica brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and let out a long breath as if gathering everything she had been holding in. “When should I even start?” Marcus didn’t respond. Jessica lifted her gaze and locked onto him. “First, I can’t believe you’re this much of a womanizer.” Marcus raised an eyebrow. “What?” “First it was Julia. Then you moved on to Ms. Natalie. Now this bitch.” The word hit the air and Marcus’s expression darkened instantly. “Hey.” “What?” “Watch what you’re saying. She isn’t a bitch.” Jessica let out a short, bitter laugh. “Then w

Yvonne glanced toward Abigail, who still looked as though she couldn't process what had just happened."Yes, of course," Yvonne said with a polite smile. "Our company already received Mr. Marcus's payment of 5.6 million dollars. According to company policy, VIP customers receive special delivery services. That is why I was personally assigned to deliver the item."The restaurant fell into stunned silence. Nobody doubted her words. Not after seeing who she was and the necklace.And certainly not after seeing the professionalism of the entire delivery. Several people began whispering among themselves."Oh my God.""He really paid.""That's insane.""Five point six million dollars?"Travis felt like his brain had stopped working.His eyes remained fixed on Marcus."No... no way."Marcus didn't even bother looking at him. Travis abruptly stood up."Marcus, where have you ever seen 5.6 million dollars?" he shouted. "You're just a broke lowlife. There's absolutely no way you paid for that n

"So, you are telling us to wait ten minutes for what? To pull another scam?" Abigail shrieked.Vera then stated, "Actually, this store usually delivers within 10 minutes if they have a branch in the city, faster than most others. So if he actually paid for it, they will come, mention its name, and even bring a gem tester to see if it's original."Travis chimed in, "Good thing you know everything about this stuff. You would obviously expose him now. I am sure no one is coming in those ten minutes.""Even if anyone comes, I am sure they might be friends and planned it together," Abigail said. She didn't want to believe this at all.Betty even had to lean in and whisper, "Are you sure about this? You paid?"Marcus just scoffed. He was so confident.At that moment, Jessica, who thought Marcus was just bluffing, stated, "You can still back out now. It's not too late."She said that maybe to help him out of the situation.Marcus insisted, "No, I am not backing out!"Abigail smirked and cros

Hearing this, Abigail burst into laughter again, tilting her head back like she had just heard the funniest joke of the night.“Are you serious?” she said between laughs. “I should kneel for this poor woman?”Marcus did not react. He only nodded once.“Yes. You will kneel.”Abigail waved her hand dismissively as though brushing away an insect. “Whatever. I am just sure you can never buy it anyway.”Marcus’s expression stayed unchanged. Then he spoke again, calm but firm.“Before we move forward, we must have collateral. Something that will force you to kneel if you lose.”Abigail’s eyes narrowed immediately. “What are you insinuating? n Why are you suddenly talking about collateral?”The table stirred again. People leaned in, sensing the argument was shifting into something more serious."This is nonsense, who is that man "."He is bluffing, thinking Abigail will back down, today will be a regret for him!".Vera raised a hand slightly, her tone lighter but interested. “If you both in

Abigail looked Marcus up and down slowly, her gaze sharp and unimpressed as she saw he was just in a cheap clothes. “Please,” she scoffed, lips curling. “You can leave now. No need to pretend you have something to prove just to impress people here.” Vera’s expression tightened slightly. “Abigail, enough. How do you even know what he can or cannot afford?” Abigail tilted her head, unfazed. “Look at him. His clothes alone speak. He is probably wearing the cheapest thing in this room.” A few murmurs spread across the table. Some people shifted in their seats, exchanging uncertain glances. Marcus let out a slow breath, eyes steady on her. “What should happen if I end up buying the necklace?” The question landed oddly. For a second, nobody responded. Then Travis let out a short laugh. “Marcus, you really don’t have to embarrass yourself. Just stand up and leave peacefully.” Jessica frowned immediately at Travis. “Stop talking like that,” she muttered under her breath, clearly irri
