Chapter 78 Humans Are Selfish Animals


    What Grace said was like a steel needle stabbing into Mark''s heart, and it was so painful that he almost


    could not breathe.


    He knew what Grace meant. He didn''t want to see Jessie get hurt. However, there were many things in


    the world that he didn''t want to do.


    Most people were helpless.


    As for what had happened to him and Jessie, he didn''t want to exin too much. When he was a child,


    he had understood that he cared too much about others, and he was the one who got hurt in the end.


    And now, he cared too much about Jessie, so he was caught in such a dilemma.


    Knock...


    "There is a banquet tonight. It''s about time." Nick reminded him in a low voice.


    "Yes. Got it. " Then he turned around and left.


    In the grand hall, there was a fancy Blue Pcemp. The fringes were quivering slightly as the floor


    was glittering and the blue curtain was hanging down. People could feel dreamy when they came here.


    It was the wedding anniversary of Liam Lu, a rich man in the city. His wife got cancer not long ago.


    After a series of treatment, her health was better, but her condition was still not optimistic.


    Therefore, Liam wanted to take this opportunity to create an unforgettable anniversary for his wife.


    Most of the guests invited today were couples. It was said that Liam had been doing business for


    decades with sharp eyes and sharp hands. But at home, he and his wife had always been in a good


    rtionship for decades. Apart from his abilities in business, they were also envious of each other, so


    they wanted to take this opportunity to gloat over the event.


    In a ce full of celebrities like this, Darren and Ivy muste.


    "Ellie, did I say anything wrong? There will be a lot of single men on this kind of asion. Let me help


    you choose the right one."


    Ivy nced at the men present with her radar like eyes. As long as the man met her requirements, she


    would introduce him to Ellie one by one.


    Ellie rolled her eyes speechlessly with an expression of unbearable.


    Since Jessie got married to the Lan family, Ivy felt that it was unfair for Ellie. So she offered several


    choices for Ellie. She had refused Ivy several times before, but eventually she was coaxed and cheated


    by Ivy and decided to go on a blind date.


    But in the end, the other was forced to have blind dates just like her. Or he had no intention to get


    married at all. It said that going on a blind date was to find someone to have fun together.


    "Hey, Ellie, look! How is the man? He is about 180 centimeters in height and look really elegant and


    polite. I wonder what he is for. " Like a hungry wolf who was looking for food, Ivy''s eyes lit up.


    But Ellie didn''t even look at him and denied him in her heart. She then pulled on Ivy''s arm and said,


    "Mom, that''s enough. You haven''t disgraced yourself enough after what happenedst time, right? You


    can only judge him by his back. Maybe he is so ugly. Will you make me marry him as well?"


    Before she could finish his words, the happy expression on Ivy''s face instantly turned hideous and full


    of anger.


    "Mom, why are you... ke... "


    As soon as ke turned around, he saw that Ivy and Ellie were looking at him. He walked up to them


    with a smile and greeted, "Mrs. Lin, Ellie, long time no see."


    "It''s been a long time." Said Ivy, gnashing her teeth. Every word was filled with hatred for him.


    Since that day, nobody saw ke. They all wondered whether he was dead. But today, they saw him


    here.


    If there were not so many people here and afraid of being impolite, Ivy really wanted to take off her


    shoes and beat him hard.


    How cruel he was!


    "ke, where have you been recently? I haven''t seen you for a long time. I wanted you to help me with


    my studies before. " Ellie chatted with ke warmly. Ivy pinched her hard and she cried out in pain,


    "Mom, why did you pinch me? It''s killing me."


    "Do you still know how it hurts? Are you very familiar with him? Don''t you remember who destroyed our


    family? Who has stolen your father''spany? "


    "……"


    After taking a nce at ke, she bit his lip and didn''t dare to say anything.


    Looking at the anger on Ivy''s face, he smiled lightly. He didn''t care about it at all.


    Yes, he has transferred the Lin Group''s shares, but so what!


    If Darren was smart and shrewd enough, he wouldn''t have done something to hispany for such a


    long time without Darren''s noticing it.


    Darren deserved it!


    ke sneered and said, "Mrs. Lin, are you really so nervous about the Lin Group''s stock just for the


    sake of Darren? Don''t me me for saying something inappropriate. People are selfish. Don''t you have


    any selfish motives? " Then he turned to look at Ellie and gave a cunning smile.


    Ivy swallowed her saliva with a guilty conscience and pretended to be displeased. "Do you think that


    everyone is like you? We are a family, and we can''t be double minded."


    "Really? Really? "


    Ivy," ..."


    She did have some other thoughts in her mind. After all, she had been together with Darren for more


    than 20 years. Not to mention that she didn''t get Mrs. Lin''s position, she also didn''t get any other


    valuable property.


    Although now she was Mrs. Lin, in fact, she was a mistress!


    Every day, when she saw how Darren was treating Jessie, she was worried, and also afraid that one


    day he would treat her and her daughter in the same way.


    Anyhow, Irene still had some rtives who were from rich and powerful families. However, in order to


    marry Darren, she had a fight with her family. She was also very stubborn by nature and was unwilling


    to go back to her own family. Otherwise, she wouldn''t end up like this.

    But what about Ivy?


    She had nothing. She was from a poor family. If she irritated Darren Lin by ident, she didn''t know


    what would happen to her and Ellie.


    No matter for herself or for her daughter, she couldn''t always rely on a man. After all, as the saying


    goes, men are reliable, and the sows will climb up the trees.


    Especially someone like Darren, she would learn a lesson from it.


    "Wow, who is that man? He is so handsome!"


    "Yes, I''ve never seen her before," another replied


    There was a sudden uproar in the hall. Seeing that people were talking about it, Ivy and others also


    turned their heads to the door.


    A cold, handsome man walked in, and even the assistants behind him were very handsome.


    Mark then walked up to Liam and took over the gift box from Nick. "Mr. and Mrs. Lu, wish you a happy


    marriage. Here is a little something I brought. "


    Liam took the gift and opened it. There was shock in his eyes.


    "This is..."


    "It''s made of suet jade which means ''Dragon and Phoenix''."


    Liam nodded and said, "it turns out to be true."


    With a faint smile, Mark said, "I''m d you like it."


    Liam closed the lid and handed it to the assistant beside him. With a touch of sadness on his old face,


    he said, "how can I don''t like it? This suet white jade is a precious thing, and you''re even carved into a


    magnificent appearance. I''m so d. Mark, I have watched you grow up. I like your kindness very


    much! "


    ''Mark?''!


    Is he the third son of the Lan family?


    Wasn''t he injured in a car ident and disfigured? How...


    The sudden appearance of Mark drew people''s attention.


    The crowd hooted again.
