The VIP Seat

The title 'secretary' already carried a certain implication, especially when she so openly flaunted Mark Lawrence's name.Mark had better give me a reasonable explanation today. Otherwise, this engagement was as good as over.But on the other end of the line, his voice was cold. "Who do you think you are? You have no right to interfere in my business."The call ended abruptly.Kelly Jackson burst out laughing beside me. "What a joke. You think I'll believe you just because you made a random call and claimed it's Mr. Lawrence?"I turned my phone toward her. "Take a look at it yourself. Isn't this his number?"She glanced at the screen, saw that it really was Mark's private number, and wavered for a second.She then looked me up and down several times. "Do you even look like someone wearing more than 30 bucks' worth of clothes? How dare you claim a connection to Mr. Lawrence?"Everything I wore was custom-made. There weren't any visible brand labels, but the quality spoke for its

Mark immediately ordered his four bodyguards to seize me.Even with my training, I couldn't fight four grown men. They quickly restrained me and brought me to him.Mark wiped Kelly's tears away and said gently, "She's yours. Do whatever you want."With his permission, Kelly slapped me twice and whispered in my ear, "Wretch! So what if you're his fiancee? I'm the one he cares about."My dad, Andrew Earnhart, was very protective of me all my life. No one had ever laid a hand on me.I endured the pain and glared at Mark. "Mark, are you really letting her do this? I'm calling off our engagement!"The Lawrence family only received support from my father because of our engagement. That's how they got to where they were today.Mark replied calmly, "Good. I never wanted it anyway. My dad forced me to do it."Kelly pointed at my nose and yelled, "You wretch. You don't deserve Mr. Lawrence. It's karma now that he wants to cancel the engagement!"I stared at them angrily. "I'm the one en

The bodyguards moved swiftly. With a sharp twist, Kelly's jaw popped out of place. She could only make muffled, incoherent sounds.Mark threw a fit at me. "Samantha, you vile woman. I won't let–"I slapped him across the face. "Stop yapping! I'm the one who won't let you off the hook!"Mark was stunned by the slap. He only reacted two seconds later by glaring at me in disbelief. "How dare you actually hit me? I'm the heir to Lawrence Group!""Anyone who harms Ms. Earnhart will be punished. Even Jack wouldn't be an exception, let alone an insignificant heir like you," Keith said."Stop bluffing! In Jericha City, there's no one the Lawrence family fears. Once I contact my father, you're all dead!"I smirked. "Go ahead. I'd like to see that."Keith, give him his phone."The moment he got it, Mark called his father.A few seconds later, the call connected. "Dad! Bring men to Oceania Arena and save me now. I've been attacked–"A furious roar came from the other end. "What? Who wou

Mark glared at me and yelled, "It's this wretch! She had me locked up and beaten. I only got one meal a day. Dad, you've got to make her pay for this!"I smiled and shook my head. "Mr. Lawrence, you've been so sharp your whole life. How did you end up with a son this dumb?"Mark couldn't even read the room. Jack's expression was already dark, but he still didn't notice.Jack suddenly raised his hand and slapped Mark hard across the face. "You ungrateful brat! How dare you keep running your mouth? Apologize to Ms. Earnhart now!"Mark felt both furious and wronged. "Dad, have you lost your mind? I've been tortured by this woman, and instead of standing up for me, you hit me?"I think you've been bewitched by her! You said the engagement was for me, but really, you just wanted to keep her for yourself! What about Mom? Have you thought about her?"Hearing his son speak so recklessly, Jack looked like he wanted to kill him on the spot.He kicked Mark in the leg and forced him to knee
