In some ways, Marina and Mark would end up with the same tragedy.
But he was innocent, and this woman deserved it. If she had not treated her daughter like that, she would not have been thrown on a deserted island by Nicole.
Later, Nicole regretted it. She found that the motherly love she longed for could not be got from Maeve at all. Maeve had always been a scheming bitch in disguise.
Nicole returned to the deserted island and wanted to save her mother. At that time, Marina’s body had already rotted and was bitten by birds. Finally, her body turned into bones.
“I’m back.”
“How are you?” Mark looked at Marina and asked.
Coming back to life, Mark had a lot of things to do. The most important thing was to deal with Ryder and take back the family property that belonged to his father.
After being a ghost for many years, Mark learned that his father’s car accident was not an accident. It was man-made, and his father was the first successor of the family property. Mark wondered who exactly framed his father.
Mark had come for revenge and had already made a comprehensive plan. He avoided the tragic fate of his previous life and successfully survived.
“Not bad.”
Facing Mark, Marina didn’t know what to say. The man in front of her was her nephew.
“Let’s go and have a cup of coffee.”
There were more and more people around, and some people picked up their phones and pretended to take photos, which made Mark frown because he still did not like to appear in public.
“Alright.”
Marina was chased by reporters after having a meal with Felix. Thus, she was also afraid of populous places.
“Why did Mark suddenly come back?” Marina felt that it was not a coincidence.
The two of them had the same goal and went to the underground garage together. They drove to a quiet cafe nearby.
After sitting down, Mark asked Marina, “Does Ryder treat you well?”
“Not bad.”
Marina didn’t know what to say. She felt very embarrassed. The man in front of her was liked by her when she studied abroad.
In the original text, was Mark dead? Anyway, the author’s writing had some loopholes. As the eldest grandson of the Langdon family, Mark seemed to have a barrier with Colin, so he did not inherit the family property.
Regarding the timeline, Marina could not figure it out.
“Do you know why I didn’t come back all these years?”
Mark lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, deliberately making himself more affectionate. Although Marina was not an important figure, she had great value.
Maeve had already been bribed. It was unknown whether it was Mark’s rebirth that caused a butterfly effect. Maeve and Ryder did not develop any relationship, and they even stood on the opposite side.
Maeve was an abandoned child, so the first step for Mark was to choose Marina. He wanted to seduce her.
“I don’t know.”
Marina couldn’t tell what Mark was up to, so it was better for her to keep silent.
“Back then, you and Ryder…”
Mark looked sad. He didn’t expect Marina to do such a thing. “Do you love him so much? He is just an illegitimate child, a bastard!”
Marina was speechless.
The original owner made too many mistakes, and Marina didn’t know how many of them she had to bear.
In the face of blame, Marina could not say anything. Anyway, she was wrong. The plot was so melodramatic.
Everything had not been played according to common sense. The storyline was getting more and more chaotic. Mark’s comeback this time was not simple.
Marina had missed some [chapter_end]
Chapters before, so she didn’t understand why Mark didn’t inherit the family property.
It was unreasonable that such a big family wealth was given to an illegitimate child. Ryder was capable, but Mark was also the heir.
Regarding the car accident that happened to the eldest son of the Langdon family, no one in the family mentioned it.
“He and I are already married, and we have Nicole.”
Marina reiterated a fact. In any case, she was Ryder’s wife, which was an unchangeable fact.
“So what? I’m not the only one with such thoughts.”
Mark stared into Marina’s eyes, trying to see what she was thinking about.
In the last life, Mike, that fool, died for Marina and was deeply in love with her until he died.
Mike was just an unimportant figure.
Marina didn’t feel a thing for him at all.
“Just say it.”
Marina was in no mood to continue talking nonsense.
“Mike had the same thoughts as me, so he didn’t have a girlfriend. No matter how Bailey urged him, he just wouldn’t get married.”
The relationships in the Langdon family were really messy.
Mark took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and asked Marina, “Are you taking these pills?”
Marina saw the medicine. She was shocked. There was fear in her eyes, but she lowered her head to hide it.
It was the medicine to treat depression, and it was also poisonous. However, very few people knew about the secret of this medicine. Why did Mark take it out?
“If you listen to me, I can tell you a secret.”
Mark said firmly, “It concerns how long you could live.”
This sentence made Marina more shocked. She probably knew what Mark wanted to say. It was nothing more than that the medicine was poisonous.
Mark suddenly appeared in City J, which was strange. He definitely had his intention.
Marina wondered, “How did Mark know that? Could it be that he was like me who came into the book? Or was it that he was reborn?”
The more Marina thought, the more she felt that it was possible.
Originally, the plot had nothing to do with Mark, and the timing of his appearance was just right after the car accident.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How long will I live? Isn’t it decided by fate?”
Marina pretended not to understand. There was no disease or disaster. She would not die for the time being.
“You are alive now. However, it will be hard to say in a few years.”
Hearing it, Marina was more sure of her guess.
“What is your purpose? Are you coming back at this time to snatch the property from my husband?”
Marina said directly and mercilessly, breaking the hypocritical mask of Mark.
“Snatch the property? Marina, the Langdon family belongs to my father and me.”
Mark frowned. In his view, Ryder was just an illegitimate son. Ryder had taken advantage of the Langdon family for so many years. If it was not for the fact that Mark’s father was caught in a car accident and that his second uncle was good-for-nothing, how could Ryder get the family property?
“Do you really think that you slept with the wrong person? Then you are too naive.”
Ryder wanted to inherit the Langdon family, so he needed capital. Although the White family was a despised upstart, they were very rich, so…
Marina made a mistake in her plan, and Ryder made use of the mistake. Thus, they two came together.
Marina did not say a word. She did not agree with it.
According to the information Marina had, Ryder was ambitious, but he did not plan to rely on the Langdon Group. He had a huge company, and Ryder was the behind-the-scenes boss.
Although sometimes Marina didn’t like Ryder, she knew well that Ryder would not make use of his good looking to reach his goals just for that little property. He was not that kind of person.
