Brooke Males, Marc’s grandfather, slammed his hand on the desk in the study of the Males residence, causing coffee to spill from his cup. “Do you know

Marc was unfazed. “I will handle it.“.

“How?” Brooke wasn’t satisfied. He reprimanded, “Have you forgotten who you are? You’re the CEO of Males Group. When you took over, I told you not

Taking a deep breath, Brooke continued, “Pearl cared for you diligently when you were ill. She was obedient and never complained. When you recovered, I thoug

“No reason.” Marc’s attitude was indifferent. “I simply don’t like her.”

Brooke’s anger grew. “Why did you marry her then? Pearl may have been born in the country but is well– behaved and modest. How could you abandon her?”

Fuming, Brooke grabbed a paperweight and threw it at Marc. “Give me back my granddaughter–in–law.”

Marc shook his head. “I’m still investigating.”

Mandy sighed again. “Such a pity.” She patted Marc on his back. “Too bad for you.”

Marc frowned. He was uncomfortable with how everyone praised Pearl. Pearl was usually quiet. He wondered when she won everyone over.

“Mr. Males, bad news.” Thomas rushed over, interrupting Marc’s thoughts. “Your mother went to find Miss Santos… and hit her.”

Clarissa sat elegantly on the couch, brewing a cup of coffee with her newly

purchased coffee machine. Looking at her phone, she realized she slept through the afternoon. The article must have caused quite a stir by now.

However, there was no news about her and Marc. Uneasy, Clarissa scrolled down the pages, thinking the hype might have subsided.

Clarissa went to the Males Group official account. The article she wrote was gone. There was only an official explanation claiming a cyberattack. She wo

Clarissa’s head spun. She called a few bloggers she knew. They complained bitterly, “Your bogus info landed us in hot water. Have you gone nuts dream

The other responses were worse, either cursing her or blocking her directly. Clarissa frowned, panicking. How did things turn out like this?

Trying to calm herself, Clarissa was about to call Marc when an elegantly dressed lady in a wheelchair was wheeled in.

Clarissa’s heart skipped a beat. She stood up hastily. “Phoenix…”
