Mr. Marcus happened to turn his head and saw Jessica's once bright face now cold. He couldn't help but take a second look. This one look nearly infuriated him. Behind Jessica, there was a middle-aged man with a decent appearance, enjoying himself as he rubbed against Jessica's shoulder.He was tall, and with just one glance, it was clear that he wanted to grope Jessica's breasts. Mr. Marcus had been suppressing his anger, but it was now ignited, transforming him into a furious monster, fiercely grabbing the teenager next to him."Get lost!"As he pushed through the crowd, at the same time, Jessica gave a quick elbow to the middle-aged man, who recoiled in pain and bumped into the person behind him, causing chaos. This also created space for Jessica to get away.She gave a bright smile. "Old man, enjoying yourself?"The middle-aged man was stunned, actually nodding like an idiot. But when he noticed the disdainful gazes from others, his face turned pale and he looked embarrassed.Jessi
Jessica walked around, browsing through various stalls, and the owners warmly greeted them. Jessica pulled Mr. Marcus to sit at a stall selling duck vermicelli soup!The owner was a middle-aged man. Jessica and Mr. Marcus, a handsome couple wearing matching outfits, attracted 100% of the attention as they walked. They looked great, dressed brightly, like a fairytale couple!The owner was extremely enthusiastic, praising his duck vermicelli soup as a heavenly delicacy. Mr. Marcus raised his hand and ordered two servings!The owner happily agreed and skillfully prepared the soup. With the sunset casting its glow on Jessica's exceptionally radiant face, she leaned closer to Mr. Marcus and playfully said, "I'm thirsty!"Calculating the money, Mr. Marcus deducted 12 dollars for the round trip fare and 30 dollars for the two servings of duck vermicelli soup. He still had 38 dollars left. He smiled and twisted Jessica's face, saying, "You really know how to make things exciting!"He stood up
Jessica openly declared her love, catching Mr. Marcus off guard. His heart was struck by this burst of joy, and he suddenly felt weak at the spot where his heart was. A suspicious blush appeared on his ears.He started to calculate, one moment of embarrassment in exchange for one declaration of love from Miss Jessica, it seemed like a profitable deal!So, his anger was completely deflated by her enchanting smile. He silently thought to himself, if this girl could be so obedient every day, he wouldn't mind how he teased and tormented her!"Oh, feeling shy?" Jessica chuckled in her heart as she held Mr. Marcus's face and kissed him on the lips."Hmph, don't think a few sweet words will make me go easy on you tonight!" Mr. Marcus rubbed her face and said, "Clean yourself up tonight and get ready to serve me!""You're such a beast! Can't you not mention this affair for a while?" Jessica laughed and scolded.Mr. Marcus leaned closer with a lecherous smile, "Go do a market survey and see wh
Jessica hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "I've heard that men change after marriage compared to before. I still want to enjoy the time of dating!""Being sentimental!"Jessica laughed and took the initiative to embrace him. To say she wasn't moved would be a lie!Mr. Marcus embraced her and forced out a few words, "Are you satisfied now?"Jessica nuzzled her head against his shoulder and nodded, feeling content. Mr. Marcus was a typical person of extremes. When he loved, he gave his all; when he hated, he gave his all. Since falling in love with her, he knew she was stubborn, cunning, and intelligent. Their future life would undoubtedly be full of challenges!But what could he do about it? He could only blame his eyes for not being good. Since he had fallen in love, he would cherish her in his heart."Marcus, this is the happiest birthday I've ever had!""Yes, this is the most embarrassing day of my life!""Who knows, maybe there will be even more embarrassing days in the fu
Jessica's throat felt like it had been scraped, the pain unbearable, and her head was buzzing. She couldn't think clearly about what to do at that moment. Her intelligent mind was even more confused amid the intense pain.Quincy forcefully pried apart Mr. Marcus' hand and saved her by holding onto her shoulder. She had a real illusion that if he didn't let go, he would crush her, maybe it was physical pain or heartache, Jessica's eyes turned red.But the tears just circled, stubbornly hiding away again.Quincy protected her by his side, glaring coldly at Mr. Marcus. "What are you hating now? Didn't you send someone to investigate in the beginning? Because you were afraid of the truth being as you thought, you stopped and indulged yourself, bringing disaster upon yourself!""Get the fuck out of here! My business with her doesn't concern you!" Mr. Marcus exploded with anger, his gaze cruel like that of a wild beast. He pulled Jessica towards him, but Quincy didn't let go.A surge of hat
Inside the villa, it was dark and quiet, without a sound!It was so still, as if there was no one there. Jessica sat tiredly on the couch, leaning back, her hand hanging down. The suffocating document was scattered on the floor, making a rustling sound as the paper rubbed against each other.It pricked at Jessica's heart.It felt bitter!In the darkness, her heart sank slowly.Why did it turn out like this?Wasn't it supposed to be happy?Memories of that wonderful evening replayed slowly in Jessica's mind. Holding hands, strolling in the sunset, her smiling face blossoming like flowers, his handsome figure like a jade tree. The domineering kiss in the square, the complaint when the coffee was too hot... for this necklace, so full of emotions, like weeping, like lamenting, they walked hand in hand in the moonlight, even a bouquet of fiery red roses, she could still smell their fragrance.Scene by scene, like slow-motion shots, like sharp blades, passed through Jessica's heart, causing
Marcus, amid hysteria, had an even more twisted expression on his face. He wanted to smash everything within his reach, but in the end, he could only painfully bury his hand in his head, like a wounded beast, completely defeated.Jessica's heart ached spasmodically, a pain like she had never experienced before. All the pain she had endured since birth didn't add up to one percent of this. A deep despair grasped her heart, as if a circle of cold iron wire tightened around it, exerting force and causing blood to pour.The feeling of heart-wrenching pain was just like this!Marcus, in desperate agony, covered his head and his voice came out hoarse, raw from the friction of the sand. "Didn't you ask me before, whether I was Old Mr. Alston's son or Old Mr. Lee's son? Ha, it must surprise you. I am Old Mr. Alston's son and also Old Mr. Lee's grandson. Old Mr. Alston regarded me as a shame, and Old Mr. Lee saw me as a bastard...""Don't say it!" Jessica abruptly interrupted, her eyes turning
JY Project was not yet built that year. It was a government project open for bidding. The land was situated on the border between the city and the countryside, with complex terrain. The risks of taking on this project were significant. Alston Smith wanted this land because he had strong connections to the underworld, as did Michael Lee. Many companies competed for this land, but when Alston Smith entered the competition, they all withdrew and watched the battle between Alston Smith and Michael Lee.In the end, Michael Lee won the land. The reason was that Mandy stole the project plan personally crafted by Alston Smith and gave it to Michael Lee. The two project plans were identical, and Michael Lee turned the tables, causing Alston Smith to be embroiled in a scandal of stealing trade secrets.Noblefull Group invested immense financial and physical resources in acquiring this land, only to end up empty-handed. They also ended up getting involved in a dirty situation, tarnishing their r
