"Your life with your son was peaceful until you met me. Since then, it has been nothing but turmoil - humiliation, car accidents, assassination attempts, giant serpents... You and Henry almost lost your lives. None of these things would have happened if you hadn't met me!" Mr. Marcus calmly said, his tone peaceful but unable to hide the darkness in his eyes. "It seems like I always bring misfortune to those around me. My mother, my little sister, one died because of me, the other was lost because of me... If anything happened to you and Henry...""Hold on!" Jessica interrupted his somewhat melancholic tone, furrowing her brows. She had never known that Mr. Marcus carried such dark thoughts in his heart. For so many years, he appeared glamorous and radiant, but who could know the regrets, guilt, and pain he carried deep inside?Such a powerful man, yet he had such sensitive concerns. It made Jessica feel distressed!She couldn't bear to listen any longer!"Did you misunderstand somethi
Jessica hung up the phone expressionless, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and a cold chill emanated from her bright eyes. Her usual signature smile disappeared without a trace, replaced by an icy demeanor."I never imagined that we would meet under these circumstances," Jessica said casually, turning her head to look at Marcus, who also had a frosty expression, his gaze as sharp as a knife."Believe me, I am even less willing than you are," Mr. Marcus said in a low voice, veins popping on his forehead, struggling to suppress his anger.Quincy, Crystal, and Tatton approached them head-on, and they coincidentally bumped into each other. Quincy wore a white Armani suit, highlighting his slender figure, graceful and charming, without diminishing his toughness in the business world.Tatton, a French gentleman, was tall and handsome, with a pair of light gray eyes always veiled in mist, adding a hint of mystery to his composure. Despite approaching middle age, he didn't appear to sho
On the way back, they remained silent.Lionel called, repeatedly apologizing. He didn't expect to let someone else beat Mr. Marcus and Jessica to ask Tatton for money. In a rare serious tone, he displayed his true French gentleman nature, but Jessica coldly replied, "Skip the apologies, just give us the money!"He was such a miser! What's the use of apologizing with just empty words? It would be better to give substantial compensation!Lionel wore a mournful expression, speaking earnestly, "Little Jessica, I strongly advise you to leave Mr. Marcus. You two are becoming more alike!" She dared to straightforwardly ask for money."Don't waste time with useless words. Do you know who's behind all of this?" Jessica asked in a stern voice. With Quincy and Crystal's abilities, they couldn't possibly be the ones Tatton would be wary of. There must be someone else."I asked Tatton, but he didn't say anything!" Lionel said, followed by a sardonic laugh. "Isn't there a dangerous figure in W City
Although the three major terrorist organizations controlled most of the arms market, there were always people trying to replace them. This industry was simply too profitable. The Middle East, Italy, and the whole of America had their own big arms dealers.Before Truman, Robin, and Victor gained control of the arms market, the world's largest arms dealer was either British or American, and the most powerful in terms of firepower was Russia. Their influence spread globally, and even if they lost in the market share battle a few years ago, there were still capable individuals who wanted to make a comeback.Almost everyone in the arms market had intricate relationships with political and business figures, as well as international criminal organizations!Saxon had originally been involved in arms smuggling, specifically providing weapons to certain countries in the Middle East. Their relationship had been decent. But this time he had been deceived. Victor, besides feeling unlucky, would su
"Mommy, can you give a normal reaction?" Henry rolled his eyes, amazed at such a fierce woman!"You said whoever Camellia wanted dead had to die, didn't you?" Jessica glared at him, and Henry chuckled lightly, "Mommy, we need to have faith in Dad!"Suddenly, the computer alarm went off. Henry gracefully gestured for Jessica to step aside, also handing her an empty cup. "Mommy, can you temporarily step aside? Baby needs to work!"Jessica glanced at the data on his computer and said, "Do you think I'm a thief?"Although she said that, she took the cup and walked out, closing the door behind her.Henry logged into his defense system, entered a series of commands, cracked through layers of encryption, and accessed a Swiss bank...Once 8 billion euros had arrived, Henry began to manipulate the data and intercept the flow of money in the middle, transferring it to a space account. After the money was transferred to the space account, Henry immediately informed Victor and provided him with e
Mr. Marcus and Jessica got up for work in the morning, and Henry was still sleeping. Jessica had the urge to kick him off the bed. In the past, when she overslept, Henry would mercilessly kick her out of bed.Mr. Marcus mentioned that he could hear Henry typing on the keyboard until two or three o'clock last night, so he pushed Jessica out of Henry's room and closed the door!"Henry is slacking off so much, he's bound to get expelled!" Jessica muttered to herself while having breakfast."I never agreed to let my darling attend that lousy elementary school!" Mr. Marcus huffed and arrogantly said, "Who dares to let my son drop out of school?"Jessica curled her lips, keeping silent!She remembered that today Camellia was coming to W City. Should Camellia observe first and then take action, or take action as soon as she arrives? Jessica was a bit worried, even though Mr. Marcus and Henry seemed normal as always.On their way to Noblefull Group, Jessica asked, "Mr. Marcus, Camellia is arr
Several executives of the Noblefull Group had calmed down. Without waiting for Mr. Marcus's command, they called the police and ambulance, swiftly calming the chaos. Over a dozen people were injured but still breathing, with no fatalities.Hearing the report, Mr. Marcus nodded and walked to Jessica's side, "Miss Jessica, gather the personnel from the news department in the second meeting room!""Yes!" Jessica also realized the seriousness of the situation. She and Susan made separate calls to summon the managers from the news department to hold a meeting in the second conference room.They had to twist the truth before the police arrived.20 minutes later, the Noblefull Group's television station declared the shooting incident a terrorist attack! The news was widely reported, with LN International Media following suit. Within half an hour, news of the Noblefull Group being attacked by terrorists spread throughout W city. It spread like wildfire!Mr. Marcus had beat the Gootal Group an
Noblefull Group had encountered such a big incident, and even Old Mr. Alston was alarmed!He seemingly didn't expect someone to attempt to assassinate Mr. Marcus, to the extent of launching an attack on Noblefull Group in broad daylight. Although Mr. Marcus attributed this to terrorists, trying to gain sympathy and mitigate the negative impact, when Old Mr. Alston called, Jessica speculated that he was not concerned about Mr. Marcus's life but rather Noblefull Group's reputation.Jessica was no longer as worried about Mr. Marcus's emotional fluctuations as before. Ever since their conversation on the balcony, he no longer flew into a rage. He learned to restrain himself, and even after being summoned back to the Smith family mansion by Old Mr. Alston, he remained calm!He was naturally cold as ice. His mood only got out of control when dealing with specific people, and there was a certain masochistic element in his demeanor. After being pointed out by her, his temper improved a lot.A
