Chapter 100
“Oh? He didn’t step in to help Joanna?” Marlon asked, a hint of surprise in his voice. After all, from what everyone had been saying before, Hayden was so fond of Joanna that he definitely wouldn’t let her lose.
I thought for a moment, then sighed. “I didn’t expect that. Maybe he helped us in ways we don’t know about
So what exactly do you want?” Marlon asked again, his expression full of confusion and disbelief.
I lowered my gaze, and after a long pause, I replied. “I don’t know”
Everything that had happened was completely unexpected to me.
A moment later, I looked up at Marlon. “I heard the Warner family has quite a few business ventures abroad?”
Just like he had looked into my background, I figured I needed to learn a bit about him, especially since it seemed his connections overseas were quite strong
“Yeah. Why? Are you interested?” Marlon raised an eyebrow, looking at nie. “Didn’t you say you wanted to develop something in Elysiumville?”
At first, that had been my plan, but seeing how my father was growing more hostile toward me, I started to worry I wouldn’t be able to settle in Elysium ille either.
“Aren’t the overseas
overseas markets doing well? If I sell off my stocks. funds, and real estate, and head abroad with 60 million dollars to start a business, in a few years could turn that into 100 million dollars, right?” I said, half–joking.
Everyone knew how hard it was to make money, but dreaming about it wasn’t a crime.
To my surprise, Marlon didn’t laugh it off as wishful thinking. Instead, he asked seriously. “You want to develop your business overseast
Well it wouldn’t hurt.” I responded with a smile.
“Okay. I go with you” he said, his voice firm, without hesitation
1 froze for a second, staring at him. “You’re going to help me?”
“I should go abroad to check at the Warner family’s business. With me around, your career will go smoother. Marlon nodded.
He was always so direct when he was around me.
I suddenly felt a hit awkward. “Why are you helping me like this?”
Only then did Marlon tum to look at me, smiling as he replied, “I helped you pay for the Jackson Group shares, right? If you don’t start making money soun, when are you going to pay me back?”
Under the light, his smile was soft, and his eyes sparkled with something I couldn’t quite place.
Even though he said that, I knew there had to be more to it than just that,
The deeper meaning behind his words wasn’t something I could handle,
Sering I didn’t respond, he finally chuckled. “Let’s go. We should head back. You’ve got a big match tomorrow.
I nodded. Tomorrow was the final day of my bet with Zachary
The winner and the lover would be revealed very soon.
The night was misty, and after driving for a while, Yar felt the car was too quiet.

Lucy was my best friend. She was probably the person who knew me best. It would be a waste not to
to get some information
“Oh, well. “He cleared his throat, his hand gripping the steering wheel a little tighter as he shifted uncomfortably. “Is it cold! Do you want me to turn up the temperature on the AC”
If Nevin had been sitting in the backseat, he would have surely mocked Yasir for his awkward attempt to start a conversation.
He would mock. You still call yourself the har king, the heartthrobst I bet it’s all just for show.”
When Yasir was out having fun, he was smooth and in control. But when it came to being serious, it felt so strange
“No need.” Lucy replied flatly.
She was currently busy managing the wealthy people who had been unable to get tickets and were causing a scene. She didn’t have time to care about what the guy sitting next to her was saying.
Besides, she had always disliked Yasir. She always felt like he was one of Hayden’s spies.
Yasir froze at her response, his embarrassment so interge that he thought his scalp might just explode.
Damn it. So many beautiful women have shown interest in me, yet Lucy seems to have zem regard for me, he thought
Taking a deep breath, he stubbomly pressed on “Is Yvonne angry with Mr. Parker? She’s been so distant lately
Lucy might not care about other things, but when it came to Yvonne, she never missed a detail “Angry Hmph, men sure to think too highly of themselves Yvonne has finally woken up. She really doesn’t love Hayden anymore.”
“How can that be Yvonne used 10 Yasir tried to argue, but Lucy quickly tossed her phone aside and dove into the conversation. “Used to
“That was ten years ago! She couldn’t warm that bastard’s heart after all this time. Does she really want to waste her whole life on him?”

Tastard? Only Lucy would dare call him that he wondered.
“Actually, Yasir began to explain.
“Yar, let me ask you something.” Lucy cut him off. “IF3 you keep going“”

“Probably not.” Yasir answered awkwardly. Given his nature, if he didn’t get any feedback after a week, he would already have moved on to someone

Lucy continued, “And then there’s Joanna. How is she better than Yvonne? She’s not even as good–looking as Yvonne, her figure doesn’t o either. All the has are some cheap tricks to seduce him. Hayden must be blind”
“Theard from Nevin that p
Joanna took care of Mr. Parker once… Yasir tried to defend Hayden.
Although he knew Hayden’s actions were a bit much, at the end of the day, Hayden was his friend. He had to stick up for him.
She roared: “Hey. Took care of him! It isn’t such a big deal. Yvonne even flew abroad to take care of that piece of trash. She missed her own mother’s funeral for him.
“Because of that, Yvonne would wander around in her sleep, couldn’t eat, and lost so much weight. Did Hayden ever feel the slightest bit of pity for
Lucy couldn’t hold it in anymore. She ranted everything
It was dus that Hayden was cheating, but he was finding all kinds of excuses for it, it was disgusting.
After Lucy hoished venting Yasir’s mind was completely overwhelmed.
He slammed the brakes, pulling the rare in the side of the road.
The loud screeching of the tires against the pavement pierced through Lary’s eardrums,

Once she regained her balance, Laury snapped: “Are you crazy! What’s wrong with your Slamming the brakes like that could’ve anything happens to me, my parents and my brother will make sure you regret it.”
She had never seen someone drive so recklessly.
Sure enough, like attracts like, Hayden’s friends were just as insane as he was
Yasir didn’t have time to deal with her complaints. Instead, he fixed his gaze on her and asked. “Tnd you just say Yvonne flew abroad to take care of Mr. Parker! Was that this year?“
