The person on the other end of the line added, âThe Quillens canât harm you
as long as I keep your secret safe.â
âYou can count on me, Mr. Verkade. Youâre the one I love. Iâll share everything I
have with you,â Marilyn promised the person.
âI have faith in you, my dear. I love you too. Iâll do my best to support you.
Soon, weâll be living a happy life.â
She felt a sense of longing for his promise.
From a country girl to the wealthiest woman in Nuthana within six months. Iâm
destined to make my name known to the whole country. I was born to make
a legend of myself. At that time, Iâll tell Grandma my story and prove that I
had made the right decision when I visit her grave.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Mackenzie returned home to find their guests had
left earlier.

Mackenzie was anxious. Moreover, she was pregnant. The whole night, she
struggled to fall asleep. However, Emmanuelâs presence and arms around
her eventually put her into a short sleep before dawn.

Her phone rang in the early morning. He left the room to answer the call as
he didnât want to disturb her.
âMs. Quillen. The Silverbane family refuses to hand over the Tannersâ business.
We canât proceed without their cooperation,â Lexi reported. She sounded
stressed.
It had been three days since the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown ended.
The Eshal Silverbane had fulfilled their promises by handing over their
business in Onza to the Terence Group.
Emmanuel believed Stanley played a significant role in the process. After all,
Stanley planned to pass on the position to the Quillen family.
âLexi, Gautier promised he would act as though he resisted the acquisition.
However, Iâm not sure heâs trustworthy. Anyway, you should seek help from

the Nuthana Martial Arts Association. Thereâs one more thing. We need extra
help to oversee the business as Mackenzie needs to rest. We are counting on
you,â stated Emmanuel.
Lexi instantly grasped the situation when she heard his voice, and she
assured him she would complete the tasks.
After putting his phone away, he turned around to find Mackenzie walking out
of the room in her pajamas.
âYou should sleep more.â He hurried over.
âI have trouble sleeping with the things going on in my mind.â She smiled
bitterly and reassured him, âDonât worry about me. I know my limits. I wonât
jeopardize our baby.â
He nodded eagerly. He was determined to stay close by her side until she
gave birth to their child. I wonât let anything happen to her.
She continued, âThe élection is around the corner. We must take over the

At two in the afternoon, he had done his preparations. He approached her
and suggested, âWe can go now.â
âOkay.â She nodded and rose from her seat.
They got into the car and headed to the largest mall in Onza.
Its center was a nightclub. Adult toy stores, adult entertainment venues, and
restaurants surrounded it.
It was the largest industrial hub of Onza Tanner and its home base. The
industry in the area was valued at millions.
As they neared their destination, he asked after she put her phone away.
âHow is it going? Does Gautier still refuse to cooperate?â
âYes. Heâs sticking to the same excuse.â She shook her head. Her gaze
hardened with anger.

âTo be honest, I still believe heâs ambitious. He could be doubleâcrossing us,â
he pointed out.
âI agree with you.â She nodded, âHowever, we canât sever ties with him and
antagonize him yet. We still need his help. If he wants to mess with us, so be
it.â
Her point made sense to him.
He admired her for having a broader perspective, but still cautioned, âI
suspect the car accident is his doing. Donât forget he used to be Magnusâ
close friend. Besides, the explosion looks like Casperâs style.â
