Agreeing to his request, Cecilia contemplated that there would likely be minimal interaction between them in the future, considering their imminent familial ties.
The elevator ride was marked by a palpable silence, leaving Peter to sense that something might go awry during dinner.
As Peter pondered the situation, the elevator doors opened on the first floor and, to his surprise, Harold stood there, eyeing Cecilia with disdain.
âSo, you ignored my calls and messages because youâve found yourself a new boyfriend, huh, Cecilia? How old is he? At least 35,! suppose.
Can such an old man satisfy your needs?â
Furious tears welled up in Ceciliaâs eyes.
Her feelings for Harold had been genuine and she had broken up with him because he cheated on her.
How dare he question her now?
Struggling to find words to refute him, Cecilia felt her anger boiling over.
Before Harold could continue his tirade, Mark nonchalantly struck a match and spoke up.
âRegardless of my age, any woman with me would undoubtedly find satisfaction.
But I canât say the same for you, Mr.
Moore.
It seems youâve been too busy with other women totend to your home life.
I wonder if you still can perform in the bedroom.
â
Haroldâs temper flared, and Mark simply straightened his shirt calmly.
âBy the way, my name is Mark Evans, and Iâm Renaâs uncle.
â
Harold was dumbfounded.
Mark Evans?
He couldnât fathom that Renaâs uncle was Mark.
In that moment, Haroldâs mind raced, recalling how he had deceived Rena for four years, how he had orchestrated Darrenâs imprisonment, and how he had connived to connect with the Fowler family.

Unbeknownst to him, the legendary Mark Evans from Czanch was Renaâs uncle all along.
Harold instantly knew he probably wouldnât get away with it.
He felt disoriented, his thoughts spiraling.
Concerned for Ceciliaâs well-being, Mark insisted she join him in the suite for safety.
Upon entering the room, Mark instructed Peter, âConduct an investigation into the Moore Group.
If thereâs anything even just slightly suspicious, have the team look into it tomorrow.
â
Having been Markâs assistant for a considerable time, Peter possessed keen discernment.
Recognizing Markâs sour mood, Peter deduced it wasnât solely due to Haroldâs provocation.
