Sally nodded calmly.
It took me a few seconds to process the fact that Sally was going to take over White Corporation according to Benjamin’s last wishes. I was confused because Marcus was Benjamin’s son.
Marcus walked out of the hospital right after saying that. I ran after him, but I didn’t know how to console him. “Marcus, have you had dinner yet?”
“I’m not hungry!” He seemed reluctant to talk to me.
I was at a loss for words. As he was heading to his car, I slipped into the driver’s seat before he could do so. “I’ll give you a ride back to your house.”
It would be dangerous to let him drive now.
He narrowed his eyes menacingly. “Why? You pity me?”
My brows furrowed up. “No!” After starting the engine, I added, “You’re my friend. I owe you one, so I can’t leave you in the lurch.”
“Ha!” He sneered. “So you’re repaying my favor?”
I knew he was in a foul mood. I said nothing and focused on driving until we reached his house.
When the car came to a stop, Marcus’ eyes were shut. He spoke tiredly. “You can stay in White Corporation. Sally will take over from now on. She’s Ashton’s aunt, so she won’t do anything to harm you.”
I pursed my lips. “What about you?”
“I’ll return to M Country!” He massaged his temples. “I came back to take care of my mother. Now that the person she cared for is gone, I should return to M Country.”
I knew little about his family affairs, so I said nothing.
After a brief silence, I offered, “Come on, let’s go in. You should eat something and rest well. Don’t think too much.”
He looked at me, his gaze undecipherable. “Louis is planning to make you his daughter. Your future will be a bright one. Don’t go overboard with your revenge. Many people had died in Zachary’s hands accidentally. Be careful.”
I nodded and sighed. “Do you have to return to M Country? The White family is rich. Even if you don’t get to run White Corporation, there is still the Bauman family, right?”
He chuckled lightly. I noticed his lips were cracked. “Are you concerned about me? You don’t want me to leave?”
Well, not really. I answered, “Yes, I don’t want you to leave. I owed you too much. If you return to M Country, there’s no way I can repay your favor.”
