    Mr. Marco’s gaze was icy as he stared atn, his voice more serious than ever before. “You


    knew ra before today?”


    “ra used to work at your firm, right? She was your executive assistant, wasn’t she?”


    “Lock, old man, it’s not that I wanted to keep it from you, but your darling protégé didn’t let me


    spill the beans. Can’t me me for that.” He gestured to the wine stain on his face and chuckled


    lightly. “See what she’s done? And you don’t even step in.”


    Mr. Marco, usually so gentle and jovial, now stood trembling with hands clenched tight. Anger filled


    the depths of his eyes like never before. “She had every right tosh out! After everything she gave


    up for you – her chance to study abroad, her dream of bing a legal eagle. You’re not just


    blind,n. You’re heartless. From now on, don’t you dare say we’re acquainted!”


    Mr. Marco was shaking with fury. He had never imagined thatn was the very person who had


    bullied ra, pushing her to the brink.


    And he had invitedn here to humiliate ra once more. The thought made Mr. Marco’s heart


    ache with a dull pain.


    He hadn’t taken many steps beforen grabbed his arm. “Study abroad? She did it all for me?


    Wasn’t she always smitten with Anders? She was bold enough to cuckold me to be with him. Don’t


    try to y thewyer with me, old man.”


    Mr. Marco looked at him with a gaze filled with scorn. “How did my sister ever end up with a


    grandson like you? Fancying ying the victim? Is that fun for you?”


    With that, he shook offn’s grip and chased after ra.


    But if she was so into Anders, she could have gone abroad with him. Why, then, did she agree to


    lan’s terms of dating without marriage?


    These thoughts piercedn’s heart like a knife.


    He rushed forward, grabbing Mr. Marco’s wrist. “Granduncle, who is it that ra truly has feelings


    for?”


    Mr. Marco scoffed, “Do you think calling me ‘Granduncle‘ will do you any good?”


    He pattedn’s handsome face with a knowing smile. “You hurt her so badly. Do you even deserve


    to know the truth? I told you before that ra is my most esteemed apprentice. If anyone dares to


    hurt her, I won’t let them off easy. Even if you are my sister’s grandson, I won’t go easy on you!”


    With that, he broke free fromn’s hold and walked toward ra.


    The next morning.


    ra was roused from sleep by her phone’s ringing. She groggily pressed the answer button.


    At the mention of signing a contract, ra’s mind snapped awake. Just as she was about to agree,


    she

    realized who was on the other end. The flicker of joy on her face was instantly extinguished.


    Her voice turned cold and distant. “Sorry, the Hayes Corporation deal is too big for us to handle.


    You should look for someone else!”


    She was about to hang up when she heardn’s low chuckle.


    “ra, is it the Hayes Corporation deal that’s too big, or are you just too scared to show up?”


    n, you were the one who wanted to cut tiespletely. This harping on is liable to make me think


    that you’ve grown fond of your pet canary.”
