Meanwhile, Julia and Marcus finally stepped out of the hall after the banquet ended. The cool night breeze brushed against them as they walked toward the parking lot together.Julia looked extremely happy.“It was such a good experience,” she said excitedly. “I got the opportunity to meet so many important people tonight, and I was able to connect well with them.”Marcus smiled faintly as he listened to her.Though Marcus had secretly spoken to some of the businessmen beforehand and influenced them to pay attention to Julia, she had no idea about it.Julia hugged her purse tightly and smiled brightly. “If I manage these connections well, it could completely change my life.”Marcus nodded. “Sure, it can.”Julia turned to him gratefully. “Honestly, what would I have done without you? Thanks so much for today.”Marcus stared at her for a moment before looking away with a small smile. “It’s nothing.”After a brief silence, he asked softly, “Will you be okay? Your mother will probably stil

Jessica stormed toward Marcus and stopped them again. “You always act like you’re something special just because you got lucky a few times, but you’re nothing but a gold digger. Have you left Ms. Natalie already?” Marcus sighed and said, “Who I’m with is none of your business.” Marcus angrily left with Julia, holding her hand. Jessica was furious. She believed that Marcus was cheating behind Ms. Natalie’s back. “I’ll make sure you lose both ways. I will report this to Ms. Natalie,” she sneered as she pulled out her phone and took a picture of them. She was so embarrassed and angry that she left the banquet without even doing what she had really come there for. She made her way straight to the Langston building. She really wanted to mess Marcus up and was determined to tell Natalie everything. When she arrived there, the gate was locked. She didn’t want to knock on the gate, so she stayed inside the car and waited there. Throughout the night, Jessica sat in the car, waiting for N

Jessica arrived at the entrance, where only one security guard was on duty. “Hey, you! Are you even doing your job properly? How could you let someone without clearance enter this place? It’s meant for elite people. Do you want to get sacked?” The guard was surprised by her outburst. “I properly check everyone before they enter. Who dared to sneak in?!” At that moment, Ms. Leah arrived with Julia and Marcus walking slowly behind her. Jessica immediately pointed at Marcus. “That man! He doesn’t have clearance. You can ask him yourself.” As soon as the guard’s eyes fell on Marcus, he instantly recognized him — the VIP and the man who had just gotten him promoted. He wanted to bow and address him as “Sir” right away, but Marcus winked at him. The guard understood that Marcus didn’t want his identity revealed, so he had to handle the situation carefully without exposing him. “You mean this man?” he asked. “Yes!” Ms. leah snapped. “He was clearly told he couldn’t enter earlier, ye

Everyone was astonished as they whispered to each other. Fredrick was on the floor, unable to move his body. Some of his bodyguards immediately rushed forward and started nudging him. “Sir… Sir…” But he wasn’t responding. “We have to get him to the hospital!” Three of them had to carry him up as they dragged him out and made their way to the hospital. “What just happened? Who is this man? Is he a boxer too?” Julia was shocked as hell, but she immediately rushed to Marcus and checked his eyes. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Marcus wiped his face and scoffed, “No, not much. I just have to clean my face. Let me go to the washroom.” He wanted to clean the blood off his face. Ms. Leah doubled-crossed him. “What the heck did you just do! Do you know the gravity of what you’ve done? You knocked Fredrick down!” “How is that an issue? We had a proper spar and he lost,” Marcus said simply. “And you’re proud? I get that maybe you’re some secret boxer or something, but this is Fredrick we

Julia shot back at her mother, “Really? All you care about is Marcus being here? Look at this man gripping my hand and refusing to let go!”Ms. Leah turned to Frederick with an apologetic smile. “Sorry sir, I’m sure this man must have provoked you. But can you please let my daughter go?”Frederick tightened his grip. “No. She disrespected me and she must pay for it. Also, this guy calling himself her fiancé dared to challenge me! I want him to apologize too.”“What!” Julia exclaimed. “I disrespected you? You were the one treating me like a prostitute!”Ms. Leah turned furiously on Marcus. “Look at what you’ve done! You dare cause trouble for my daughter. So you better go on your knees and apologize to Frederick right now.”Marcus frowned. “Why should I do that when he’s clearly the one in the wrong? He’s still assaulting her by holding her wrist. If anyone should kneel, it should be him.”Ms. Leah glared. “What are you on about? If you don’t kneel, what will you do? You’re just a poor

Marcus gracefully entered the hall. The party was already in full swing, with the elite guests engaged in lively conversations. Meanwhile, Julia stood in one corner with her mother. Her mother was frantically scanning the room for a suitable man she could introduce her to. Finally, she spotted one. She pushed Julia toward the man and immediately called out, “Mr. Frederick. Nice to meet you.” Frederick was a well-known boxer, currently ranked number one in the city. Everyone knew and respected him. Thanks to his successful boxing career, he had amassed a fortune that even many businessmen envied. Rumors suggested he was involved in illegal underground boxing matches—brutal “win or die” fights in which he always emerged victorious. This had only added to his wealth. He had recently purchased a private island. Ms. Leah (who could also be called Ms. Lena) had already done her research and knew he was single. Frederick, a huge man with broad shoulders, a muscular build, and short cur
