“Once again, please forgive me.”

Malcolm bowed once more to the old man, seeing that he was being ignored while the latter remained focused on whatever he was examining in front of him.

The six men standing behind Malcolm also followed his lead.

But not long after, Delilah’s voice suddenly cut through from the side.

“Sir, this old man is the one who caused all the trouble here!”

With a loud, confident tone, Delilah pointed her finger at him.

It was as if she had completely failed to notice how Malcolm had shown great respect toward the old man just moments ago.

“He’s the one who disrespected Mr. Downey!”

“And that man …”

She shifted her finger toward Martin.

“That man is the one who damaged our collection!”

At first, like everyone else, Delilah believed this mysterious old man would help her get rid of Martin.

“If that useless son-in-law didn’t appear, I would’ve gotten ten thousand from Ethan.”

Delilah was the one who helped Ethan put the fake Éclat on display—a piece meant to be Qui

    Thirty minutes later, at Havenport South Station.“Please, sir.”Alfred opened the rear door of the black Bentayga for Martin.“No. I’ll take a taxi.”Instead, Martin headed in the opposite direction.“But, sir—”Alfred looked stunned.After all, Martin was about to meet the executives of Palm Coast Enterprise for an important business discussion.Arriving by taxi would only make them doubt him.If you arrived in a proper vehicle, at the very least, they would be willing to listen.Whatever you said afterward wouldn’t matter as much.But if you arrived in a way that failed to inspire confidence, they might not even bother listening to the first word that left your mouth—no matter how important it was.It was a small detail, but one with enormous impact.“Relax.”Martin smiled and waved his hand lightly.He understood the concierge’s concern.“I’ll get what I want.”***Meanwhile, at a hotel inside Palm Coast Resort.“You useless brat! How could you just drive them away like that?!”Wi

    “Sir, from all the potential candidates we’ve reviewed, I can say with considerable confidence that this is the most suitable one.”Alfred pointed at a name on the list.Palm Coast Enterprise.A company overseeing several luxury resorts and upscale residences in Havenport.“With a valuation reaching two billion,” he continued, “this will be an excellent company for you.”Generally, businesses started small or medium-sized.But that didn’t apply to Martin—he already had vast experience and an extremely strong financial base.He needed a company large enough to accelerate growth, yet not so large that decision-making became inflexible due to board approvals.Alfred was certain the name he had chosen fit Martin’s ambitions perfectly.“Yes, this looks good.”Martin seemed satisfied as his eyes scanned through the company’s profile line by line.“In that case, can you arrange a meeting with them?” he asked.Hearing that, Alfred nodded confidently, sharing the same sense of satisfaction.“O

    “If they’ve already figured out who I am, then they should also know about the Hayes family, shouldn’t they?”Inside the private express staff room, Martin murmured under his breath as he looked out the window.His thoughts drifted to Hunt3rs.That group of assassins might only be targeting him.But they could easily use Quinn—or anyone from the Hayes family—as bait to lure him in.“So the divorce really can’t happen?” he muttered again, deep in thought.Originally, Martin didn’t intend to ask anything of Quinn.If she wanted to side with her family and go through with the divorce, he wouldn’t force her to stay.But now everything was different.Everything seemed to hinge on his decision.If he allowed the divorce to happen, Quinn’s life might be in danger.“They’d definitely use Quinn to get close to me.”Wife or ex-wife didn’t matter. They would try every method available to kill him.But what weighed on him far more was Quinn’s safety.Knock-knock!The door opened, and Alfred stepp

    “Aren’t they supposed to head to the platform already?”Martin directed his gaze toward a group of workers standing silently on the floor. Their faces couldn’t hide their uncertainty.In truth, they really were supposed to board the morning train—yet they were forced to wait for the afternoon one instead.They had booked their tickets well in advance.But because they had purchased the cheaper fare, there was nothing they could do when the clerk and the security guard blocked them.“What exactly are they waiting for?”“Sir…”Jackson quickly turned around, confusion spread across his face.He didn’t understand why the young man was asking something like that.“As for the passengers in this station, you don't need to worry.”He answered with a wide, confident smile. He believed Martin was someone who cared about others, and he was proud to say the station provided excellent service—just as Martin probably expected.“They will all receive the best service from our staff.”He nodded firml

    "I'm sorry for making this matter a bit more complicated for you."The manager looked slightly awkward in front of Alfred before handing the ticket back to the ticketing clerk."It's all right. What matters is that everything is now under control."Alfred smiled widely.Relief washed over him—he had successfully carried out his first task."May I have the name for the ticket, sir?"The clerk leaned toward Alfred while holding her tablet in hand.Before Alfred could answer, Martin stepped forward, supporting the old man who had been shoved earlier by Alyssa’s bodyguard."Your name, old man," Martin said quietly.What?The old man looked confused.He knew the clerk was asking for the name of the new ticket holder.But he didn’t understand why this young man was asking him for his name."Please tell her your name," Martin repeated."B-but…"Of course, the old man’s confused reaction immediately triggered the clerk."You again?"The woman threw an annoyed, dagger-like glare at Martin."St

    “Mr. Hamilton, really?”Alyssa placed one hand on her waist, clearly annoyed.Alfred wasn’t a stranger to her—or to her family.He had a fairly close relationship with her father.“You’re seriously trying to take this ticket from me?” she asked, lifting the ticket in front of her face.When Alyssa first arrived at the station, she had been surprised that the clerk seemed to already be expecting her and immediately provided her with a ticket.Even though she had made no reservation whatsoever.On top of that, she knew nothing about trains—this was her first time taking one.But in the end, she didn’t bother overthinking it.“Everyone knows who my family is,” she had thought. “So of course things like this happen.”She took the ticket without question.“You haven’t forgotten who I am, have you?”She pushed her sunglasses up onto her head and shot Alfred a sharp glare.“Yes, I remember,” Alfred replied. “But my apologies—I still cannot allow you to keep that ticket.”“Mr. Hamilton, are y
