Chapter 9

The next day, at Hartwell Group headquarters.

I accompanied Marcus to my father’s office.

“Good morning, Dad,” Marcus greeted respectfully.

“Sit down,” Dad said coldly, without his usual warmth.

Marcus felt uneasy but sat down anyway.

“Vivian tells me your company is having difficulties?” Dad got straight to the point.

After Marcus explained his troubles and carefully requested investment or client referrals from Dad.

Dad was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Marcus, what do you think of my daughter?”

Marcus was startled, not understanding why he’d ask this suddenly. “Vivian is the most wonderful woman in the world. Marrying her is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.”

“Since you say that, let me ask you,” Dad’s gaze suddenly became sharp, “what would the most wonderful woman be worth to you?”

“Any price!” Marcus said without hesitation. “I’d do anything for her!”

“Including giving up other women?” Dad stared directly into his eyes.

Marcus’s heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm. “Sir, I don’t understand what you mean. Vivian is the only woman in my heart.”

“Is that so?” Dad sneered. “Then how do you explain this?”

Dad pulled out a stack of photos and slammed them on the desk.

The photos showed Marcus and Rain in intimate moments, crystal clear.

The moment he saw the photos, all color drained from Marcus’s face as he stammered: “Dad, I can explain!”

“Explain?” Dad stood up abruptly, his presence imposing. “Explain how you betrayed my daughter? Explain how you got another woman pregnant with your child?”

“Sir! I know I screwed up!” Marcus finally cracked, falling to his knees with a thud. “Give me one chance-I swear it’ll never happen again! I can sign any agreement, transfer all my assets to Vivian!”
