    Chapter 2034


    Marshall remained silent as he stood next to Irene, gazing downstairs. His lowered gaze concealed his


    expression; Irene could not tell what he was thinking about.


    After a while, he asked, "Do you have another one?"


    She tossed him a box of cigarettes and a lighter. Marshall swiftly took one out, flicked it a couple of


    times on his fingertips, and then lit it.


    Perhaps it had been too long since hest smoked. When he took the first drag, he could not help but


    cough a few times.


    Irene nced at him and said tly, "You used to listen to everything he says. You''ve changed a lot


    since you came back to Hustuabourg." "Really?" After a brief pause, Marshall took another drag and


    said, "I don''t remember what I used to be like, but I''m pretty happy with who I am now."


    Irene paused. Then, she silently scrutinized Marshall''s expression.


    The smoke surrounding him veiled his face, shrouding his emotions in mystery.


    She chuckled and said in a t tone, "It''s better that you don''t remember."


    After finishing his cigarette, Marshall was about to walk away, but Irene stopped him. "Marshall, you like


    Ste, don''t you?"


    Marshall paused and turned to look at her.


    Irene put out her cigarette and said, "If you do, I can help you."


    Marshall looked at her for a moment and asked, How can you help me?"


    Irene smiled. "A man''s love for a woman alwayses down to possessives. Find someone to drug


    her and sleep with her. I''m sure that Keegan won''t want her anymore after that."


    Marshall also smiled, but it was a cold one.


    Irene frowned. "What''s so funny?"


    With his body slightly tilted, Marshal looked at her in a condescending manner. "I just find it funny that


    you''ve lived to this age but can still say such things. I suppose you''ve never been loved by anyone."


    Irene''s face stiffened as her tone turned colder. "I''m trying to help you. What nonsense are you talking


    about?"


    Marshall replied coldly, "If I take advantage of someone''s vulnerability, I''ll never deserve to be with her


    in this lifetime. Besides, you''re underestimating Keegan''s feelings for her. She''s a person he''s willing to


    protect with his life. How could he ever abandon her just because I slept with her?"


    Irene smirked. "Keegan might not, but what about Ste herself? Would she still befortable staying


    by Keegan''s side after that?"


    Marshall froze and looked at her without saying anything.


    Then, Irene added tly, "Marshall, you''re too soft-hearted. Ste is not the same as... She''s just


    different. Your grandpa clearly doesn''t oppose the two of you being together. You missed the


    opportunity when Keegan went missing. How will you win her over without doing something?"

    Irene patted his shoulder. "Think it through and let me know. I can help you.


    After saying that, she turned and left.


    As soon as Irene went downstairs, Wace pulled her aside with a stern face. "What did you say to


    Marshall again?"


    Irene shook off his hand and said, "You might not care about your son, but I do care about my nephew.


    I''m just helping him get what he wants."


    Wace''s expression turned unpleasant. "Is that helping him? You''re going ruin his life!"


    Irene smiled. "I''m helping him get the person he likes; how is that not helping him? Wace, Marshall is


    too much like you. You couldn''t get what you wanted, and now I''m just helping him get what he wants. I


    can''t believe you''re ming me instead of thanking me."


    Something suddenly popped into Wace''s mind as his face turned extremely pale.


    He was exhausted and somewhat frustrated. "If you really want to help him, why didn''t you do it seven


    years ago? Marshall hase so far to finally get his life back on track. What exactly are you trying to


    do?" "On track?" Irene chuckled upon hearing that. Then, she slightly leaned forward and whispered in


    Wace''s ear, "Wace, the ''on track'' for the Moore family is to rot and die in this mansion. None of US


    can ever leave."


    Ariel appeared as soon as she finished speaking. She froze momentarily upon seeing them.


    Irene then said to Ariel with a smile, "Ariel, the fish today is excellent. I''ve tasted so many different


    types of fish, but yours is still the best."


    Ariel''s expression turned nonchnt. Instead of responding to what Irene said, she asked Wace,


    "Have you gone upstairs? How''s Marshall?"
