Chapter 232
Hans saw Marcus getting up and gave Keith a side glance. Keith awkwardly retreated to the back.
“Mr. Marcus, you are my honored guest. I trust you wouldn’t do something like this.”
Hans’s deep blue eyes casually swept over Sophie, his tone meaningful.
“But if you know who took it, please have her return it. As long as this doesn’t reach the ears of the founder of Hills Group, I can pretend none of this happened.”
“Hans, is this how your royal family treats women? Speaking in such a sarcastic tone?”
Marcus’s narrow eyes gleamed with coldness.
Earlier, Keith had directly attacked him, and he kept his calm.
But now, Hans was trying to target Sophie, and that was something Marcus could not tolerate!
“Mr. Marcus, that’s too much.”
Several capitalists from Falyon stood up.
Hans was their supported crown prince, how could they allow Marcus to insult him like that?
“Mr. Marcus, Mr. Hans has kindly invited you to this dinner. Not only did you bring someone unqualified, but now she has also taken the Queen’s Tear.”
“Mr. Hans is magnanimous, as long as you return the Queen’s Tear before the founder of Hills Group arrives, he will let the matter go.”
“But if you continue to refuse, are you really going to force Mr. Hans to call in the royal guards?”
“Heh.” Marcus sneered, his disdain clear and unapologetic.
“That will depend on whether he has the ability to do so.”
“Mr. Marcus, this is still U.S. territory. You’re being too arrogant!”
The voice of a capitalist was heard, just as a servant’s voice rang out.
“The founder of Hills Group has arrived!”
Hans’s face darkened as he looked at Marcus.
“Since Mr. Marcus insists on not handing over the Queen’s Tear, then we’ll wait for the judgment of the founder of Hills Group.”
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
With that, Hans left, leading a group of people toward the entrance.
Marcus sat down next to Sophie but noticed that she was craning her neck to look toward the entrance.
“If you want to see, just go ahead and look.”
Sophie immediately smelled a strong scent of vinegar and quickly averted her gaze.
“I wasn’t really that interested.”
“Don’t lie, your mouth’s about to water, and you’re not curious?”
Sophie reflexively reached to wipe her mouth.

Chapter 232
When she realized there was nothing there, she realized Marcus had tricked her.
“You really are petty.”
Sophie pouted, then continued, “Like you said, the founder of Hills Group is like a god. It’s only natural I’d be curious about what he looks like.”
Sophie turned to look at Marcus. “Aren’t you curious?”
“Not curious.”
Marcus answered decisively. “And you’re not allowed to be curious.”
“Marcus, you’re not the CEO anymore. Can you tone down your CEO attitude?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophie felt a shadow cover her, and Marcus suddenly leaned closer to her.
“Even if I’m not a CEO, I am the father of your child.”
“Besides me, you’re not allowed to be interested in any other man.”
“Besides, just because they say that’s the founder of Hills Group, does it really mean it is?”
Sophie furrowed her brows slightly. “What do you mean by that?”
“Why are you here?”
A calm male voice spoke, emotion unreadable.
Timothy, expressionless, looked at Marcus, completely ignoring Hans and his entourage.
The crowd turned their gaze toward him, and a hint of schadenfreude appeared in their eyes.
It seemed that the founder of Hills Group knew Marcus, and not only that, there might be some history between them!
Gideon stepped forward and bowed slightly to Timothy.
“Mr. White, do you know my brother?”
Timothy made a “stop” gesture. “I’m not the founder, and I’m certainly not Mr. White.”
Everyone exchanged confused looks.
Just a moment ago, the servant had announced that the founder of Hills Group had arrived, and then Timothy walked in.
Not to mention, Gideon had seen the founder of Hills Group before; how could he have made a mistake?
Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Timothy stepped forward toward Margus.
His presence exuded an undeniable aura, and his expression was serious, giving off the impression that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Sophie couldn’t help but grow concerned. She asked Marcus,
“Have you offended him?”
Marcus didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “Now that you’ve seen him, does he fit the image of a god in your mind?”
Sophie answered honestly, “To be honest, I’m a little disappointed.”
Timothy was handsome and rugged, with a good aura, but Sophie somehow felt that the founder of Hills Group shouldn’t be like this-
Marcus grinned, clearly enjoying the situation.
