Chapter 22 Under Marcus’s leadership, the Donovan Group gradually took over half of Chicago. He began to expand his business overseas, with the first stop being Paris, France. None of the jokes Marcus made to find Emma back then are mentioned again. Not only that, but those people also began to praise Marcus’s affection for Emma, as if they had completely forgotten about Marcus cheating and getting another woman pregnant before his wedding. With enough power in hand, the slanderous words would disappear. Marcus personally experienced the benefits that power brought to him, but he did not feel happy because of them. Or, one could say, Marcus‘ right to happiness was stripped away from the day Emma left. He did something to hurt Emma, and according to his promise, he should have ended up alone. Happiness was supposed to be out of reach for him. Marcus hadn’t paid much attention to Emma’s whereabouts for a long time, only occasionally hearing that her new boyfriend Rodney was from a well–known local family, which is how he got news about Emma again. Marcus opened an American restaurant not far from where Emma lived, selling only one type of pasta. Emma immediately recognized the familiar taste after trying it once. 0.00% 05:39 Chapter 22 Marcus also managed to catch a glimpse of Emma from afar in the kitchen that time. Seeing Emma and Rodney so in love, his eyes lelt a little sour, but he couldn’t bear to look away because he knew that his chances of seeing Emma in person were few and far between. After Emma visited the restaurant once, she rarely went back to eat there again. After all, she no longer liked thee,…
Chapter 21 288 (Vouchers After returning to Paris from Chicago, Emma was no longer bothered by those people who claimed to be her friends back home, and her life gradually returned to peace. At this time, Marcus in the country, after Emma left, has been maintaining a numb state, like a soulless walking corpse. Kate was both angry and heartbroken, usually elegant, now cursing like a market shrew. When Gavin walked into the ward, he saw Marcus and Kate like this, and he was instantly furious. Gavin pulled Marcus up from the sickbed and slapped him hard twice. Marcus’s mouth was bleeding, and Gavin’s voice was angrily reprimanding him in his ear. “Marcus, look at yourself now, do you think Emma will come back to you like this?” “She wouldn’t even give you a second glance now. If you continue to be so decadent, you will only become a laughingstock to everyone.” “Even if you don’t care about others, take a look at your mother. She is so worried about you that it has changed her into what she is now!” There was finally a flicker of movement in Marcus’s dull eyes. His gaze fell on Kate’s face. In just two months, he not only tortured himself into a non–human form, but also added many wrinkles to Kate’s face. Her once meticulously combed hair was now messy, with a lot of 0.00% 05:39 Chapter 21 white hair mixed in. Actually, it’s not just Kate, even Gavin was the same. Since Emma left, Marcus has been into this ghostly figure. Many people whereabouts and has turned himsez…
Chapter 20 Kate, who was waiting outside, felt a sense of unease when she saw Rodney go in. So when Emma and Rodney were about to leave, Kate didn’t even think twice before stopping them in their tracks. “Emma, are you leaving already? Is this person your friend?” For Kate, Emma had a little more patience than Marcus, but only when compared to Marcus. Since that night at the Donovan family’s old mansion when Emma heard those words, she could no longer treat Kate with kindness. Faced with Kate’s not–so–friendly inquiry, Emma just gave a matter–of–fact response. “There is nothing more to say about Marcus and me, and this is my boyfriend Rodney.” Rodney greeted Kate politely, but Kate was not in the mood to respond. Instead, she felt a hint of resentment towards Emma, and her tone also carried a hint of displeasure. “Emma, you and Marcus broke up less than two months ago, how could you…” “Can’t you see that he has suffered a lot for you during this time? Since you promised to come back and see him, why can’t you give him a chance?” Kate’s gaze, which she cast on Emma and Rodney, made Emma frown 0.00% 05.39 288 Vouchers Chapter 20 deeply and her face instantly turned cold. “Madam Donovan, no matter how much Marcus suffered or what happened, he has no relationship with me in terms of money. Everything is his own fault.” ) “I was willing to agree to meet with him because of your past kindness to me. Is it only acceptable for Marcus to cheat before the wedding, and I have to seek your opinion again after breaking up with him and starting a new relationship? What qualifications does Marcus have to make me do this for him?” ”…
Chapter 19 “Yes, you were the most important person to me!” Marcus hardly hesitated before he gave his answer. Emma heard this answer, a mocking smile playing at the corner of her mouth, stinging Marcus’s eyes. D She showed no mercy, giving an answer completely different from Marcus’s. “You wouldn’t, you neither wanted to let go of me, nor were you indulging in the excitement Claire gave you, otherwise you wouldn’t have been so happy after knowing she was pregnant.” “The way you are answering now is simply because you already knew I would leave you. In fact, what you regret most in your heart is that you didn’t hide your affair better.” “If time were to turn back, I guess you would have arranged Claire to be even further away from me, preferably never to meet again in this lifetime, so that you could have the best of both worlds.” Marcus’s face turned pale, as if his most secret thoughts had been exposed. He clenched his fist tightly but couldn’t stop his body from trembling. His lips opened and closed several times before Marcus finally found his voice again. “Emma… you can’t convict me based on things that didn’t happen.” Marcus’s face was full of pain as he shook his head to deny Emma’s guess. 0.00% 05:38 Chapter 19 11 288 (Vouchers…
Chapter 18 It has been almost three months since she left Chicago. During this period, she traveled to several places and eventually settled in Paris. Emma loved this romantic city. 1 From Estrella, she also knew that Marcus had never given up on finding her. Because Marcus had been constantly trying to find out information about Emma, she had been too afraid to reveal her information and location on social media. This way of doing things is not a long–term solution. Some things should indeed be clarified with Marcus face to face. “I will make a trip back to Chicago in a week, and I will contact you then.” Emma would relent, not only surprising Kate, but even catching Marcus off guard. Excitedly, Marcus sat up from the hospital bed and reached out to grab the phone, but it had already been hung up after Emma said those words. Marcus didn’t feel too upset when he missed again, instead, he smiled. He was so excited that his voice was trembling, “Emma said she’s willing to come back. I can’t see her like this. Mom, please call Lucian and ask him to come over.” 0.00% 05:38 Chapter 18 Watching the renewed vitality in Marcus’s eyes, Kate instantly turned from tears to smiles….
Chapter 17 Under Marcus’s threat, Gloria reluctantly dialed Emma’s phone number. The phone rang for a while before being answered, and Emma’s voice was filled with annoyance at being woken up. “Sister, I’m Gloria. Dad… Dad got seriously ill. He wants you to come back and see him.” 0 On the other end of the phone, Emma was completely stunned for a minute before she finally found Gloria’s number in the depths of her mind. It had been so long since they had last been in touch that Emma was almost forgetting that she still had a father and a half–sister from the same father. She said in a flat tone, “I have had no relationship with the Caldwell family for a long time. Whether he is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me, and there is no need to inform me.” Gloria looked displeased, and the deliberately gentle tone she had put on was nowhere to be found. “No wonder Dad didn’t want you, Emma. You really are unpleasant. It serves you right for being abandoned by Dad and then by the Donovan family heir!” On the other end of the phone, Emma instantly snapped out of her daze. She asked coldly, “Did Marcus ask you to call?” Although she was asking, Emma already had the answer in her heart. 0.00% 05:38 Chapter 17 Gloria sneered, “So what if it is, Emma, I just can’t stand the way you look…” 288 Vouchers With a click, the phone was hung up before Gloria even had time to react. Marcus, who had become ice–cold all over due to losing too much blood, only managed to say a few words in a very weak voice. “Emma, I didn’t want to abandon you…” After the phone call was disconnected, Marcus fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Gloria, who had originally planned to leave secretly, contacted Kate in the end because she was afraid of causing someone’s death, thus saving Marcus’s life. And in the hospital…
Chapter 16 When Marcus woke up groggily, it was already the afternoon of the next day. There were two bowls of pasta on the table that had been sitting together for a long time, and the floor was littered with knocked–over wine bottles. It is now midsummer, and the pasta left out overnight has fermented along with the strong smell of alcohol, making it particularly unpleasant. Marcus, however, seemed to be completely oblivious, blending into the terrible environment of the room. Day after day passed like a zombie, Marcus never received any news about Emma again. Kate didn’t know what she had promised Claire, and she fell silent after constantly threatening to call the police. Only in Chicago, Marcus and the Donovan family’s reputation took a nosedive. Kate couldn’t bear it anymore. After multiple failed attempts to persuade Marcus to cheer up, she finally took him to see a psychologist for treatment. Marcus did not cooperate with the treatment at all, and the effect was minimal. Marcus, who used to be very restrained with smoking and drinking, has completely developed a smoking and drinking addiction in the month since Emma left. Chapter 16 He tried to numb himself in this way, to forget everything. But only Marcus himself knew that doing so was futile. Besides that, Marcus couldn’t think of a better way. “Emma, you used to hate it when I smoked and drank, why didn’t you show up to stop me… “I miss you so much, please come back soon.” Marcus kept pouring himself drinks, because he had been drinking excessively and not resting properly for too long. He felt like he was starting to have hallucinations. Otherwise, why would Emma suddenly appear in front of him? The person in front of him walked closer and closer, stopping three steps. away from Marcus. Emma complained in a coquettish tone, “Marcus, why did you drink so much alcohol? If you continue like this, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Marcus’s calm expression suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes, which had been as lifeless as a stagnant pool, regained their sparkle in that moment. He reached out and pulled ‘Emma‘, who was standing in front of him, into his arms. His hands tightened continuously, tears wetting ‘Emma’s‘ clothes. on her chest….
Chapter 15 Claire quickly passed out due to excessive blood loss. Marcus always looked on coldly, without a hint of pity. The only moment of vulnerability came when Claire exposed his most genuine thoughts. He had long known from the messages Emma sent him that Emma knew about his cheating before Claire provoked him. It was only his mistake, he would apologize to Emma in person, Claire, the ‘culprit’, had no right to shirk responsibility. The nanny nervously made a phone call, and soon after, Kate and the ambulance arrived at the villa one after the other. Gavin, who came along with us, was also there. When he saw the bloodstains all over the villa, he got so angry that he slapped Marcus directly in the face. “You scoundrel, causing so many jokes recently is not enough, now you even want to harm Claire to the point of death!” Half of Marcus’s face swelled up instantly, but he didn’t regret what he had just done at all. “She, a woman who was kept, had no right to compete with Emma for a position. This was the punishment she deserved.” He only wanted to have children with Emma, no one else was qualified. “Emma must have been angry that I let Claire get pregnant before leaving me, now that the child is gone, she must have calmed down…” 05 37 Gavin and Kate looked at him with a stubborn look, so angry that their eyes almost blacked out, and they almost fainted on the spot. In the end, Marcus was forcibly taken to the hospital by Kate. Before leaving, Kate had warned the nanny who witnessed everything that just happened, ordering her not to speak about what she saw. But the residents of this villa area are all prominent figures in Chicago, so it is difficult to guarantee that what just happened has not been noticed by someone with ill intentions. Moreover, the events that happened tonight, including the most challenging one with Claire, have not been resolved. Any mistake in any of these things would deal a devastating blow to the Donovan Group, which was already treading on thin ice during that time. When they arrived at the hospital, they learned that neither of Claire’s two children had survived. And because of the excessive blood loss and potential damage that could occur during the removal of the fetus, Claire may never be able to have her own children. Claire woke up to the news and immediately broke down, screaming that she needed to call the police. Kate persuaded her for a long time before she finally calmed down. Marcus was impatient and left the hospital in less than half an hour. As for Kate, whether she stayed there by coercion or enticement, he didn’t care. He now only wanted to find Emma as soon as possible, confess in front of Emma, and tell Emma how much he missed her. Marcus returned to the cold house once again, which had already been restored to the way it was before Emma left, but without any trace of Emma’s presence….
