Only you in my love novel Chapter 574

The CEO of the Magnolia Media Company was called Marcus Zhang. He was in his early thirties and looked quite shrewd. Then again, being the head of a huge company, he was rather sophisticated despite the situation.

However, it was the first time he ever had the sense of panic. He had been sweating all the way, trying to think about his options on how to save his company.

Vicente had threatened him in person that Marcus could no longer in this business. Marcus hoped that Vicente would be magnanimous and would not let him go bankrupt and lose everything in the process.

After hearing the recording last night, Marcus had some misgivings. He also thought about the possibility that Vicente and Nina had gotten a divorce. However, after investigating the situation, he found that there was no sign of their divorce, and so he agreed to release the recording.

Marcus thought that although Nina had a strong background, it was still she who cheated on Vicente. He was certain then that if Vicente knew about it, the count would definitely deal with her. However, Marcus didn't expect that Vicente would deal with him instead.

Because of that, Marcus felt very regretful of his actions. If it weren't for his greed and if only he had handed the recording to Vicente first, then it wouldn't have happened.

Then again, this was all because of this intern named Lynda. Marcus shouldn't have listened to someone else's persuasion and agreed for her to stay.

As a result, he was jinxed.

Feeling regretful as well, Lynda followed Marcus obediently. Her face was pale, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone or anything around.

That morning, instead of getting praised, Lynda had received a scolding by her colleagues and the CEO.

Now, she was nervous as if she already knew what would happen to her next. She wanted to just run away countless of times, but her fear made her legs tremble from the idea.

After all, there were a lot of maids and bodyguards everywhere in the castle. Even if she wanted to and even if she had the courage to, she still wouldn't be able to escape. If she did happen to run and get away from here, she would be spending her whole life in hiding.

Lynda did that because she wanted to be a permanent employee at the company. However, she didn't expect that Vicente would side with and stand out to speak for Nina. Moreover, she didn't know that they had already divorced.

Walking in the solemn castle, Lynda felt like she was a prisoner being escorted towards the dungeon.

Lynda didn't know how to face her consequences or whatever they might be. Moreover, she did not know how to face her good friend, Cali, after what she had done to her.

The news started to spread like wildfire, and for certain, Cali must had guessed that it was Lynda.

"Lynda!" Marcus suddenly stopped to turn around and shout at her. "When we get there, make sure you apologize. Don't cause any more trouble."

Hearing the scolding, Lynda was so frightened that she could only nod in response and didn't even dare to say a word.

When they entered the living room, the first thing they saw was a maid kneeling on the floor. Marcus guessed that she was the other woman in the recording, the one who told Lynda about what she saw at the airport.

Marcus looked around, and there were two people sitting on the sofa—one had a gentle face, while the other had an obvious gloomy face.

He looked at the basket of fruits on the coffee table and found a kitchen knife shining with cold light.

Looking at the knife, Marcus started to feel a chill around his spine. He was so nervous that his palms started to sweat. The kitchen knife looked like a butcher's knife, ready to strike him any time soon.

Unconsciously, he touched his neck as if trying to protect it from getting sliced.

As soon as they entered, the eyes of both men raised at the same time at Marcus and Lynda. Their cold eyes felt like a stab for Marcus, making him feel weightless in an instant as if he had fallen into hell.

Being in the entertainment industry, Marcus had seen many people before. He knew at a glance that the man with the cold look on his face was not just a regular man. After all, the man was able to sit beside Vicente, and his eyes were as sharp as the kitchen knife of the table. Marcus assumed that this must be Nina's boyfriend.

Even Vicente looked like she had respect on the man.

Before he could faint in fear, Marcus wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said with respect, "It is my pleasure to meet you, Count Nangong. I brought the intern who gave me the recording. This is Lynda Jiang, and she came to apologize to you."

Hearing Lynda's name being mentioned, Cali, who was kneeling on the floor with her head lowered, raised her head and looked at Lynda with nothing but resentment.

Lynda gasped as soon as she met Cali's eyes. Half of Cali's face was red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was still bleeding.
