Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 

“Because he personally sent his own father to jail, many people were scared and awed of him. At the same time, due to his young age, they didn’t believe in his capabilities. There were a lot of people who wanted a piece of the Hartley Group, and he was under siege 

“The project in America was the key to the Hartley Group’s resurgence, as well as the key for him to showcase his abilities to the world. However, that project was so profitable that not only he wanted it, but many others did as well 

“After round and round of competition, his odds of winning were growing. When it looked like he was about to secure the project, competitors who couldn’t beat him in a fair fight started to resort to dirty tricks” 

“Was President Hartley’s fainting spell related to that incident?” Jayden knew that, but he was sent off by Marcus on other tasks and wasn’t with them when they went to America so he didn’t know how dangerous it was. 

Dr. Dawson continued, “On the night before the project was signed, Marc’s car was hijacked. He was taken to a warehouse by the sea by the kidnappers. They gave him two

“In the business world, it’s often said that the marketplace is a battlefield, and experienced businessmen know that sometimes it’s even more terrifying than a real battlefield There are real guns and cannons on the battlefield, but the marketplace is often filled with invisible bullets.” 

How difficult Marcus’s path to growth was, Dr. Dawson and her two sons should know more clearly than others. 

Dr Dawson went on, “You know what kind of person Marc is. If he has his sights on something, he won’t give it up easily. Those guys put a gun to his head, trying to intimidate him into signing the contract. He didn’t budge, but told them firmly that he’s set on the project. He played for time by engaging them in talks until Ayden arrived with help. Though they managed to rescue Marc in the end, both Ayden and Marc got seriously injured… 

Before Dr Dawson could finish, Jayden interrupted her, “Wasn’t it just Ayden who got hurt? Did President Hartley get injured too? Why didn’t I know about this?” 

Even after all these years, this was the first time Dr. Dawson mentioned this incident to someone. Each time she thought about the situation back then, she would still get so tense she couldn’t breathe properly, “The more people know about it, the bigger the risk of him being exposed. So only Ayden and I knew about his injury.” 

“Not even me?” Jayden felt a little hurt. He always thought that there was nothing about Marcus that he didn’t know. 

It wasn’t until today that he found out that there was such a big incident that he knew nothing about. 

Ignoring his complaints, Dr. Dawson continued, “Ayden’s injury was on his face, it looked serious but it was just a scar, not life–threatening. Marc’s situation was different, he was shot, and the bullet narrowly missed his heart. It almost cost him his life.” 

Upon hearing this, even the experienced Jayden couldn’t help but gasp. “He was seriously injured and you guys didn’t tell me. What do you guys see me as? Am I not your real son and only Ayden is?” 

Dr. Dawson slapped him in annoyance. “Is that what you want to say?” 

Jayden scratched his head, “Please continue!” 

Dr. Dawson went on, “Marc’s injuries were severe and he was only stabilized after a whole night of emergency treatment. He should have been resting in the hospital, but rumors of his arrest spread 

“Although he doesn’t necessarily have to be present for the signing, if he didn’t show up because of the rumors, it would have been seen as admitting to them, and the hard–won project would be lost. Upon learning of the situation, Marc dragged his injured body, using his strong self–control to muster up energy and went to the signing” 

Jayden said, “He really doesn’t care about his own life.”
