Chapter 668: Storm Across the City
However, Marcus knew where Alpha’s weakness lay, and he quickly said, “Alpha, it’s been so many years. You can have any woman you want. Why are you still clinging to Anabelle? Anabelle has never liked you, not even a bit. Everything you do is just wishful thinking”
Butler Paulo on the side gazed coldly at Marcus. In fact, he was already quite nervous. Working in the Augustine family for so many years, he knew that the only thing that could make his master lose control was Madam Anabelle. The thorn that had been stuck in his heart all this time was the fact that Madam Anabelle had never liked him, not once.
Butler Paulo cautiously observed Alpha’s expression. In truth, there was no emotional fluctuation on Alpha’s face. He stretched his long legs and sat on the sofa in the living room, then leisurely took out a cigar and lit it with a lighter.
The crimson flame danced as Alpha took a deep drag from the cigar. He tilted his head slightly to exhale the smoke from his mouth, then pointed to Marcus’s right leg with the cigar between his fingers, casually asking. “Oh, I see your right leg has healed?”
As he made this gesture, some ash fell, exuding a strong masculine aura.
Upon hearing about his right leg. Marcus tensed up, his face paling.
His right leg wasn’t fully healed. Although the disability had been treated, he still limped when walking, standing out from the norm.
Alpha was responsible for ruining his right leg!
For more than thirty years, ever since the night he had caught Alpha and Anabelle outside the Midas residence, he had been unable to sleep. He deeply loved Anabelle and didn’t want her to marry someone else.
However, he also understood that both the most prominent figure in the capital’s business world, Alpha, and the captivating Anabelle of the distinguished Midas Family were beyond his reach.
He felt tortured every minute and second, experiencing pain, resentment, jealousy… these emotions drove him to madness.
At that moment, someone suddenly appeared before him. It was… Lily!
Lily brought a few black-clad bodyguards and wanted to capture him.
At the time, he felt that something was wrong. Moreover, he was quite skilled himself, so he managed to break free from those black-clad bodyguards and escape directly.
It was at this moment that Lily suddenly said to him, “Marcus, run! If you run this time, Anabelle will truly become Mrs. Augustine. If you don’t run and cooperate with me, I’ll tell Anabelle that I kidnapped you. Then, I’ll arrange for her to meet you at the pier. Take advantage of the situation to take her on a ship and elope to a secluded place, just the two of you. Isn’t that wonderful?”
His steps ultimately came to a halt.
On the day of the grand wedding, it was said that Alpha had given Anabelle a magnificent wedding. complete with phoenix crown and red bridal attire. It was also said that Alpha had built a grand. chamber for Allura and promised to dote on Anabelle. On that day, the entire capital’s streets and alleys were abuzz with this romantic tale.
He was bound in the cabin on the pier, yet his mood was surprisingly calm. He knew that Anabelle

would definitely come.
Sure enough, late at night, Anabelle hurried over to rescue him.
In the cabin, Anabelle quickly untied his bonds. “Brother Marcus, how did you get caught by Lily? I told you, you have to pretend not to know me from now on, or you’ll be in danger. Leave quickly.” He grabbed Anabelle’s small hand and urged earnestly, “Anabelle, I know you’re living on thin ice. Don’t be the shadow of Lily anymore. Come with me. Let’s leave together.”
However, Anabelle gently withdrew her hand. She shook her head softly. “I won’t leave.
His heart plummeted, as if falling into an abyss. The persistent thought that had been circling his mind burst forth uncontrollably. He asked, “Anabelle, why don’t you want to leave? What’s worth clinging to here? I know you’ve been constrained since childhood, always desiring freedom. That’s why you created the jewelry brand Fly,’ wanting a pair of wings.”
“Now the opportunity has come. Lily has set her sights on Alpha. She wants to let you go. We just need to take Madam out of the hospital, and we can leave. You’re so clever, you should know that if we miss this chance, there won’t be another. Why aren’t you willing to leave?”
“Anabelle, are you… falling for Alpha? Because of him, do you want to stay in the capital?”
He asked the question he had wanted to ask all along: did she fall in love with Alpha?
Anabelle lowered her gaze, not speaking for a long time.
“Enough!” He interrupted her directly. He didn’t have the courage to hear her answer when she finally wanted to speak.
He reached out and tightly embraced Anabelle, pulling her behind him. “Anabelle, Alpha and you are from completely different worlds. You won’t have a future together. Don’t hold onto false hopes.”
As soon as his words fell, there was a loud “bang.” and the cabin door was kicked. open.
The chilly wind rushed in, like knives cutting across their faces, stinging painfully. He looked up and saw Alpha outside.
That night, Alpha arrived amidst a storm, with an aura of ruthlessness and hostility.
He didn’t expect Alpha to arrive so quickly. Anabelle and Lily, the two sisters, were very similar. He recognized Alpha at a glance, seeing through the scheme.
Alpha wore all black that night. The cold sea wind made his black clothes billow like a sail. His handsome features were as dark as ink, his narrow eyes tinged with a bloodthirsty glint. “Heh, Madam Augustine, I didn’t expect you to give me such a big surprise on our wedding night!”
Anabelle swiftly pushed him aside and glanced at Alpha, eager to explain. “…”
“Alpha!” He stepped forward, shielding Anabelle behind him. “That’s right, Anabelle has no intention. of marrying you. She and I have been childhood friends. Whereas you, relying on your wealth, are forcefully trying to marry her. Tonight, Anabelle and I have made a pact. We’re eloping and leaving this place!”
He was challenging Alpha, and the result of this challenge was that he didn’t anticipate how Alpha would act. In the next moment, he was kicked in the chest.
He fell to the ground in a sorry state, coughing up blood.
At this moment, Anabelle extended her slender arm and blocked Alpha. “Alpha, stop it! Stop hitting him. Brother Marcus, leave quickly.”
“Brother Marcus? Alpha repeated this address, then curled his thin lips and steered. He looked down at him from a higher position, disdain and coldness in his eyes. “She’s my Lady Augustine. Lady Augustine, do you dare to harbor this idea? Hm? Which leg did you think of using to take her away? This one, your right leg?”
Alpha stepped onto his right knee, and a snapping sound echoed as the bone inside shattered.
