Chapter 8

Author: Anonymous
If Marcus were a good man, then Joey wouldn't be in much danger. On the contrary, if he were a viper, I'd be worried for Joey if she had someone like that around her.

Either way, I couldn't do anything, nor did I have the power to do anything.

All I could do was warn her. Joey was a capable person, so she'd definitely be able to figure it out.

Joey was about to say something when the private room's door opened.

Marcus entered with a bouquet of roses in his hands, accompanied by a group of people.

He had a tender gaze as he said to Joey, "Joey, I've waited four years for you, so isn't it about time you made it official?"

Their group of ninety filled the room and surrounded Joey and Marcus. Their chatter broke the tense atmosphere, and the entire room suddenly felt light and lively.

"Superstar Marcus, you still haven't proposed to Ms. Joey? That's your fault. Someone as outstanding as her should have been claimed long ago!"

Marcus smiled in joy. "I've been busy with my career,

    Besides… I was once a beggar, and my legs are useless. How could I ever be worthy of her?Seeing me falter, Marcus smirked triumphantly. "Give up on her. I'll take good care of them. I won't hurt them."I remembered what I had once told Joey. By now, she must be wary of Marcus.However, I wasn't sure about things… I stared at Marcus intently. A man like him should die with me. Then, Joey would have no weaknesses or threats left in this world.I spoke in a hoarse voice, "What do you want me to do?""What do you mean?! I won't let you leave me again!" Joey's voice suddenly sounded from the entrance, and her face was full of panic. She even brought a few policemen with her.She ran over to my side, looking at me with worry. Only when she saw I wasn't hurt did she finally sigh in relief. Marcus put on a fake smile. "Joey, what are you doing here? I was merely chatting with Henry!" He tried to grab Joey, but she stepped back.The police immediately restrained Marcus. "Marcus, you'r

    Daniel's words hit me like a lightning bolt.I had intended to return to where I was staying, but Daniel took me to a five-star hotel. Seeing the familiar decor, I felt strangely dazed.Daniel then said, "Think about it carefully."Before I could make sense of anything, Marcus asked to meet me.In a bright cafe, he held a cup of coffee while looking at me arrogantly.He suddenly smiled. "Henry, sometimes I'm really jealous of you."I looked at him in puzzlement. Marcus continued, "How were you able to seize Joey's heart back then, even though it was by force?"After all these years, no matter how hard I tried, her heart has always been with you."Why don't you just die?!"Marcus's words were like a knife, stabbing straight into my heart. The pain was unbearable.It turned out that, without my knowing, Joey had been deeply attached to me all along.Marcus told me that Joey's company had been listed and received government support, so it would soon expand overseas.He also

    Joey even went to my nemesis and begged him to tell her my whereabouts. My nemesis asked her to deliver some alcohol to a bar, where she was harassed by some customers and almost got violated. Luckily, the police got there in time.Daniel told me how Joey had stayed at the police station and watched surveillance camera footage for a whole night. When she finally saw me getting onto a train, she let out a sigh of relief. However, she also cried the entire night.No matter how much she begged, the police didn't reveal my whereabouts. I had used my last bit of connections to keep my whereabouts completely hidden.From then on, Joey stopped searching blindly for me and threw herself into making money. She used the money she got from my account and from selling the jewelry she got from my family to reclaim my company. She wished she could turn the 24 hours a day into 48 hours. Within a year, she secured some key personnel and became somewhat well-known in Virelia. In just four ye

    Joey took out her phone and made a call. Soon, my previous secretary, Daniel, appeared before me. The moment he saw me, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. He carefully walked around me and stood before Joy. Joey pointed at me and said, "Take him downstairs first. Get him a change of clothes, and then call a doctor to check his legs."Hearing her words, Daniel's eyes lit up with joy. On the other hand, Marcus was in disbelief. "Joey?"Joey didn't look at anyone, and her face was expressionless. "I'm soft-hearted. I can't stand seeing an innocent person being bullied."You all don't need to be angry for my sake. I chose to be with Henry back then. It was a relationship of mutual benefit."Seeing Marcus looking upset, Joey finally sighed. "Forget it… It's all in the past. There are still matters at the branch office. I'll be leaving now."After Joey left, Marcus cast a cold glance at me before leaving with the group of people.Once everyone was gone, tears welled up in Dan

    Hearing my words, Joey went pale. She grabbed my hand urgently. "Henry… I didn't!"I looked at her with a deep gaze and remained silent.After the company collapsed, before my secretary, Daniel, resigned, he came to see me. His usually calm face was full of regret, and when he saw me, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Henry. I can't work for you any longer." I didn't get angry. If anyone had to apologize, it should've been me.After all, Daniel had a family to support. He had just gotten married, and his wife was pregnant. I had caused him to lose his job. Fortunately, I used the last of my connections to secure a path for him.Before leaving, Daniel gave me a file. Inside, it showed that Joey and Marcus had once entered my study. The next day, the company's secrets were leaked.I held that file quietly, saying nothing. That was until my nemesis had broken my legs, and I crawled to Joey's place. I saw her and Marcus gazing at each other tenderly, and I realized I couldn't be sure o
