Marco's body jerked in surprise. Hearing Stefani's words, he wanted to vomit blood. It was only a matter of time before his anger exploded.

"You know, Marco, you're just a trashy guy. I've wasted enough time with you. From now on, I'll live comfortably with Hansel. Living in a mansion and surrounded by expensive things." Stefani's eyes lit up as she said this. She looked pleased and hopeful.

Marco shook his head hard. "Does getting you pregnant mean Hansel loves you? Open your eyes, Stefani. He is just using you!"

"What do you know about this? You are the one who has always been a parasite in my life, Marco. Not Hansel!" Stefani shouted angrily. She pointed at the items attached to Marco's body. "Your clothes, your shoes, the food you eat, they were all bought with the Reyes family's money. Remember that!"

What Stefani said was true. Marco could only swallow his anger.

"What are you waiting for? My daughter has already asked for a divorce from you. Don't worry, we'll take care of the divorce." Melani said excitedly. This was the time she had been waiting for. All these years, she had been waiting for this moment.

Hansel Burton was a young master from a wealthy family. It was certain that the wedding favors they gave her would also be very large. Melani was already imagining dozens of jewelry sets lined up before her. A luxurious villa for her to live in and a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars as a dowry.

Melani closed her eyes. Her hands touched her face, which was flushed with happiness. "I can't wait to see all the dowries Hansel gave me. They must be worth tens of millions. I'm going to be rich!"

Melani's imagination traveled far and wide. She already imagined the lavish wedding between Stefani and Hansel Burton and how she would become a part of the Burton family. It was the moment she had been waiting for.

Marco stared at the two of them with a look of disbelief. He was disappointed that all his hard work was being ignored. Those two women were like snakes, so venomous!

Even though his salary had been small, he had always given his entire wage to Stefani. He had worked so hard to make her happy, and they had secretly betrayed him. I don't know what the heavens have in store for him, but it seems like this is the accumulation of his seven lifetimes of bad luck.

Marco looked intensely at Stefani. His breath was coming in short gasps of disappointment. "You didn't even apologize to me? A betrayal of this magnitude, and you still say nothing to me? Don't you feel guilty? Where is your conscience?"

Stefani grinned. She looked at Marco with confidence. Her gaze was scornful. "One thing you should know before you go. I never regret doing this, Marco. I never regret being in a relationship with Hansel. Whether it was then, now, or in the future, I won't regret it!"

If cursing could kill a person, then today, Marco has died a hundred times. "Remember, Stefani, I'm only going to say it once. Hansel is just using you!"

Melani snapped out of her reverie. She looked at Marco sharply. She was fed up with the useless man's presence. "What are you waiting for? Get out now!"

Marco remained where he was. His eyes were already red. Even the muscles in his neck were tense. Melani pulled Marco's hand and shouted at him. "Hurry up and leave! Even if you beg like a beggar, I won't listen!"

Marco waved his hand, making Melani's grip loosen. "I don't want to live with you either!" Marco snapped. He could no longer contain his emotions. His face looked terrible.

Melani's gaze became wide. She was offended by Marco's words. "Insolent! How dare you say that!"

Marco advanced until there was only a step between him and Melani. He lowered his face to Melani's level. His masculine voice became firm. He had never been this assertive before. "Of course! You guys keep cursing me every day. What reason do I have to be polite to you? I used to love Stefani, forgetting all the abuse you gave me. But that was then! From now on, I will avenge everything you do to me!"

"Good! Remember, you can't take anything out of this house!" Melani shouted. "And you can't come back to this house either!"

"Okay!" Marco's breath hitched as he turned around and left the Reyes residence.

 His heart was in turmoil. When he recalled the happy moments he had shared with Stefani, it was like electricity was running through his body. It thrilled him, but it also hurt him. The image of the test with two lines kept playing in his head, making his emotions unstable. She was angry, sad, and disappointed, but she couldn't be weak! 

The wind that carried dust escorted Marco's departure from the Reyes residence. He staggered into a bar. This was something he rarely did, dealing with disappointment with alcohol. But, this time, he needed a martini.

Marco entered the bar and sat on a chair. He called out to the bartender and immediately ordered a drink. "Give me a Vodca Martini with lemon, shaken, not stirred."

The bartender nodded in understanding. He prepared Marco's order. A few short moments passed, and the bartender placed the Vodka glass in front of Marco. "Are you having a hard time, sir? I guess those people must have betrayed you."

Marco's gaze became horrified. He stared at the bartender. He thought he was very presumptuous. Especially when he saw a smile on the man's face, Marco immediately felt uncomfortable. He wanted to stand up and beat the man up.  However, at a time like this, he should not be provoked. He must remain calm.

"Do you want to take revenge?" the man asked again.

Marco sighed. In his opinion, this person was very meddling. Did his face look so miserable that people could immediately guess the problem?

Marco shook his head.  "We don't know each other. I've never met you. You don't understand my problem. So, cut the crap!"

Instead of getting angry, the bartender in front of him laughed. "How do you know if I don't know your problem?"

Marco looked displeased. He pulled out his martini glass and wanted to drink it. However, the statement the bartender said made him pause.

The bartender lowered his head and whispered near Marco's head. "Your wife is pregnant and carrying the child of a conglomerate. On top of that, you were kicked out and divorced."

 Marco raised his face. "Nonsense."

The bartender looked severe. "Sir, you can't lie to yourself."

"Shut up!" snapped Marco. "You have no right to interfere in my life!"

The bartender remained visibly calm, unintimidated. "But these are facts, sir. And I, I intend to help you."

"Have you been my stalker all this time?" accused Marco. He was very suspicious. This news should not have gotten out yet. But why did this person know this news so quickly?

"Young master Marco, I am Will, the servant of the Gallahad family. We have been looking for you for a long time."

    The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have

    Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw

    And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w

    And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a

    Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can

    The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
