Marina always thought that she and Jane had the same purpose and they shared the same fundamental interests. They could enter into cooperation. At this moment, she realized that she was too naïve.
Maeve was not willing to leave Shawn, so she explained everything. She was two-timing the two men. She took advantage of Shawn and wanted to put herself under the patronage of a big wig.
Shawn was unsophisticated, and he liked Maeve. It was very likely that he would believe it.
Maeve played around with Marina’s brother.
Maeve only said a few words and found that what she said worked. Going beyond the limit was as bad as falling short, so she hurried to leave.
“She gets too much Plot Armor and can easily destroy all my efforts.”
Marina sighed and looked at her daughter, Nicole. “Nicole, do you like the woman?”
Nicole got along very well with Maeve in the band was cured when Nicole was with Maeve. Maeve instigated Nicole to throw Marina to a deserted island.
“I don’t like her.”
Nicole immediately shook her head. She only liked to be with Marina.
Marina was different, but she would keep it a secret and not tell anyone, because she was afraid that after she said it, Marina would leave.
“You like Daddy or Mommy?” Marina asked.
When Marina got divorced, Ryder would consider Nicole’s will first.
“I like you all.”
Nicole tilted her head. After all, they were family.
Marina took Nicole to the car and went to the White Group.
On the way, Marina saw a large Kid Mall. She remembered that Mary was not a qualified mother before and had never bought things for Nicole.
Marina had a black card with unlimited credit. She thought she could use that man’s money to make Nicole happy.
“Mommy, are we going in?”
There was a shop at the entrance, selling cotton candy, which looked very beautiful.
Nicole had never seen the colored cotton candy before and stood at the door, looking at the cotton candy carefully.
“Yeah, do you want it?”
Marina asked the driver to buy it and handed it to Nicole. Nicole just watched it and did not eat it.
She knew that Nicole wanted to eat it, but she restrained herself.
The scene made Marina feel distressed.
“Mommy, I don’t want to eat it. Is that okay? I come to see it every day.”
If she didn’t eat it, she could see it every day.
Nicole didn’t like to talk. She was different when she was with Marina. The Langdons still didn’t know it.
“Then I can buy you two. You can eat one of them, okay?”
Nicole was a kid of a rich family, but she had never even eaten cotton candy. She was locked in the luxury house and her childhood wasn’t happy at all.
That was the way how the Langdon family raised a kid.
The kids of the family would inherit the family property, and was different from the children of the common people.
The Langdon family believed that their kids would part with their playmates anyway, so kids of the family had to endure loneliness.
It was nonsense.
Marina thought of Bailey. Although Bailey was arrogant and overbearing, she was a good mother. At least her children were good people. Claudia and Mike were very kind.
“Miss White, are you here to see me?”
Marina was shopping and found a young man in uniform walking to her.
When the man saw her, he immediately blushed.
Marina was puzzled. Was this person talking to her?
“Miss White, you forget me?”
The man saw Marina’s eyes and he was embarrassed. He introduced himself with a red face, “That night in Twilight Bar…”
Marina was stunned.
This place sounded familiar. Mary and her friends used to come on to young men.
Mary hooked up with many handsome men with her beauty. The man in front of her was probably one of them.
“Do your words still count? You asked me a question last time.”
The man in uniform asked carefully.
About a month ago, he met Marina at Twilight Bar. At that time, he sang at Twilight Bar.
During the day, he was a white-collar worker, and at night he had another job because he was short of money.
His parents were seriously ill and he had to spend a large sum of money every day. He had no choice but to work two jobs.
“Why do you work so hard? I can buy you off if you want. I’ll give you 200 thousand a month,” Marina said with a smile.
At that time, the man was angry as he was not that kind of person.
A month later, in the face of cruel reality and huge medical expenses, he bowed to difficulties.
He thought that he might try to be kept by a young and beautiful woman.
“I see. I remember you.”
She couldn’t deny it now.
Marina was annoyed. Mary was a married woman. Even if she flirted with young men outside, she couldn’t keep a man.
Marina understood why Kayden was furious. What Mary had done was ridiculous.
She asked the driver to take Nicole to choose clothes. Marina faced the man alone. She didn’t even know his name.
“It still counts. I don’t know if it’s too late or not.”
The man said with a red face, “I have no sexual disorder. I used to have sex three or four times with my girlfriend. Anyway, I can satisfy you.”
Though he felt deeply humiliated, he had no choice when he thought of the reality.
Marina didn’t know what to say.
She had never encountered this before and was at her wit’s end.
“Sorry, I apologize for what I said before. I drank too much that night.”
Marina didn’t know where to put herself. What Mary had done before? Fortunately, Mary hadn’t slept with the man. Marina could go back on her words at any time.
“Actually, 100 thousand is enough.”
The man was anxious and hurried to say.
Marina thought for a long time and explained that she had no money now. Although she wanted to keep him, she didn’t have enough money.
The man needed money, and she couldn’t give it to him. There was nothing she could do.
“Miss White, can you introduce your friend to me?”
The man remembered that Marina had a lot of rich friends who spent tens of thousands of money that night. They were not short of money. He just hoped that one of her friends could buy him off.
He didn’t care about the appearance now. He just wanted money.
Marina was startled. She wanted to refuse him. Did the man want her to be a procuress?
The man was afraid of being rejected. He grabbed Marina’s arm and wanted to implore her.
