They were in a stalemate. Marina regretted that she didn’t bring her bodyguards here.
She was just kidding after drinking wine, but the uniformed man took it seriously.
“Marina, you are flirting with others again!”
This shopping mall was owned by the Langdon family. Mike happened to come over for business and he saw Marina and the manager quarrel.
Marina has been married for several years but she still acted like a playboy!
“Mr. Langdon.”
When the uniformed man saw Mike, he explained that there was a misunderstanding. He mistook Marina as a friend.
He was too poor to lose his job.
Mike didn’t want to embarrass anyone. When he saw the manager leave, he frowned and stared at Marina without saying anything.
“Why are you here? What a coincidence!”
Marina smiled awkwardly. She just wanted to leave now.
She had to ask Lola to check what Mary had done in the previous life so that she could handle it with preparations.
Mary’s life was in a mess and Marina couldn’t clean it up at all.
“You married Ryder and had Nicole. Have you thought about the consequences if you let Ryder know?”
Mike knew what a bad temper Ryder had. Although he hated Marina, he was worried about her. Every time he said something unpleasant, Marina disliked it.
Some people were like this. They had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though they had done a lot in secret, they still could not get others’ favor. Mike was this kind of person.
Thinking of the plot, Marina found it hard to hate Mike. She decided to stop quarreling. “You are right. But you don’t have a girlfriend now. Are you waiting for me?”
Mike was deeply in love with Mary and died in order to save her. Before he died, he was still single.
Marina didn’t want him to be like this. They wouldn’t be a couple for life in destiny. She sincerely hoped that Mike could find his love and forgot her.
No matter if it was the Langdon family or the White family, they would not tolerate and bless such a relationship.
“You … son of a bitch!”
Mike’s deepest secret was exposed, he was embarrassed and angry.
However, at the edge of anger, Mike calmed down. He glared at Marina and left.
It was he who couldn’t forget her and always lied to himself. Marina had already married and given birth to a child. She was the closest to him, but she didn’t belong to him at all.
…
After the incident, when Marina and Nicole arrived at the White Group, it was time for the employees to get off work.
Marina took the elevator and went to Shawn’s office on the top floor.
She saw Shawn having a video meeting and talking. Marina didn’t disturb him and let Nicole sit on the sofa outside.
“Uncle is busy working. Let’s wait for him for a while.”
The secretary served Nicole biscuits and milk tea. And Marina was telling a story to Nicole.
Half an hour later, Shawn was finally done with his work.
He came out of the office and was surprised to see Marina with Nicole.
“Marina, I’m sorry. I have to ask the driver to take you home. I have something to do now.”
Shawn checked the time. He had to head to the airport immediately.
“But it’s dinner time. Dad invites us to go home for dinner tonight.”
What project would be so important?
“It’s urgent. I want to bid on a piece of land for building an ecological area. The client asked me to sign the contract tomorrow morning.”
Shawn was very excited. He was really interested in the land. But it hadn’t been approved by relevant institutions before.
Recently, the one who was in charge of the land took a shift. Now the owner was willing to negotiate with Shawn.
“Where’s the land?”
A thrill passed over Marina. Was it the project that sent Shawn to the prison? Did Ryder set it up so quickly?
“Shawn, do you have to leave tonight?”
Marina asked again. As long as she got the evidence that the land was illegal, Shawn would definitely give up the project even if it was profitable. She knew Shawn was not a malicious merchant.
“I have to. Thanks to Maeve. It was her who provided me with internal information.”
The news came from the Duncan Group so it wouldn’t be wrong. Shawn didn’t think twice because he didn’t have time.
Maeve! That woman again!
Marina was anxious when Shawn was preparing his luggage and was about to leave. She had to stop him. But how?
Marina had no choice. She gritted her teeth and shook her pale face. Then she fell on the sofa.
The place where she fell was safe. It would not make her hurt.
“Mommy!”
“Nicole!”
Nicole cried out. Shawn was also shocked. He asked for someone to send Marina to the hospital and felt guilty.
Marina didn’t feel well. Why didn’t he notice that? Perhaps he was too busy to notice but it shouldn’t be an excuse.
“Mr. White, we don’t have time.”
Shawn’s assistant reminded him.
“Postpone it.”
Shawn put on a long face. Now Marina was in faint somehow. He couldn’t leave.
“But…”
They appointed the signature tomorrow morning. It could not be postponed.
“Then cancel it. Don’t let me say it again.”
Shawn shouted irritably. If his father knew that he left now, he would be the one to blame.
The White family was different from the cold-blooded rich families. In the White family, family affection was always the priority.
After getting in the car to the hospital, Marina was relieved. Although she was just pretending to pass out, she quickly fell asleep.
At 7 p. m., Maeve waited alone at the airport. Shawn did not appear and Maeve could not get through his phone.
Maeve wondered if Shawn had discovered something.
But it was impossible!
Few persons knew that the land had quality issues. Moreover, these people had nothing to do with the White family.
Maeve planned to let Shawn enter the trap. When the project began, he would lose all his money!
As long as the White family was broken, Ryder would not tolerate Marina as his wife at all.
At that time, it would be easy for Maeve to seduce Ryder.
There were many women around him but none of them got Ryder’s heart. He was always so cool and indifferent.
But the more he was like this, the more charming he was.
It was a perfect man who only existed in a drama.
Maeve entered a world with fantasy in which she was going to be Ryder’s wife.
