All Chapters of The Rise of Marvin Rock: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

All the way from the Winston Villa back to the Rock family residence, Gennifer kept grumbling to herself. "Marvin must have been the one who made her a secretary," she muttered with an annoyed expression. That night, Gennifer immediately dragged her husband up to their bedroom, leaving Marvin's parents behind in the dining room. Up in the room, Gennifer unleashed the pent-up anger that had been choking her chest. "I don't want to know, she has to leave Rockxill immediately, or I'll spill all these secrets to my family and report that you've been cheating on me!" She sat slumped on the bed, her face a mask of pure emotion. Her beautiful eyes were consumed by a blazing, explosive fury. Marvin paced around the bedroom while remaining entirely calm. He had already guessed that Freya's big mouth would flap wide open, carrying her loud complaints straight to his wife's ears. "Let me explain, honey." "I don't need an explanation, Marvin! I'd rather let you be close to Ethelyne than that w

All the invited guests stood up, turned around, and began searching for the two people mentioned. All eyes were fixed on them. Then, Warren Harvard and Raymond were escorted by two guards dressed entirely in black toward the special front-row seats. They would be sitting close to the officials and other important dignitaries. Out of all the businesspeople present, they were the only two in the front row. Besides being guests of honor, there would certainly be surprises in store for the wealthiest family in Chemisland. Before sitting down, the two of them applauded and turned their bodies, glancing in all directions, radiating the Harvard charm that deserved flattery from anyone. Not long after, two people arrived carrying a bouquet of flowers one meter long, and two others carried quite large gift boxes. All of these were offerings from the Harvard family for the bride and groom. "We extend our greatest gratitude to Mr. Warren Harvard and his son," said Derick with a smile that ne

Zavier, who had just been about to sit in a seat near the back, stood up. He was asked to come forward and sit next to Marvin Rock. At that moment, Zavier felt very awkward sitting right beside his boss. As instructed by Marvin, Zavier was not allowed to speak much during the event. Zavier was forbidden from telling anyone about the true owner of Rockxill. That was why Marvin had forbidden inviting the Wilmer family here. The only people who knew Marvin owned Rockxill were clearly the Wilmers, such as Ethelyne. Russel brought his face close to the mic again. "He is Mr. Zavier! The President Director of Rockxill! He has contributed far more and deserves much more respect than the Harvard family. A round of applause for him!" A booming cheer erupted across the garden. For those who shared the same negative view of the Harvard family, hearing Russel's sharp criticisms felt satisfying, especially for those who deeply loathed the Harvards' arrogance. Whispers broke out among them. "W

"You're just a pathetic ex-con!" Raymond screamed emotionally. Harven Rockwell couldn't hold back his temper. He strode over to Raymond and grabbed him by the collar. "You've been running your mouth disrespectfully this whole time. You have no respect for the host or the other invited guests." Before things could escalate into something worse, the people nearby immediately stepped in to pull them apart. Harven was furious. He had been patient up to this point, especially since the memory of Raymond being the mastermind behind the slander against his brother kept flashing in his mind. Harven grinned angrily. "You're a liar! Because of you, my brother was sent to prison!" Harven thrashed against the arms of the people holding him back. The crowd's emotions flared up once again. It was a rollercoaster of an event, swinging from one extreme to another. However, the two elite families felt differently. Derick and his in-laws were deeply anxious over the chaos that had unfolded. Russel

At the Rock family residence, it was a quiet night. Marvin sipped his coffee again, then said to Varez, "You were still the most high-achieving guy back then. You were number one, man!" Varez looked away, staring out at the trees from the balcony. "Academic grades are useless if we don't have skills, experience, and money. I'm just a gas station attendant, and I'm stuck as a shift lead. I'm just not reliable." Varez felt disheartened, even regretting his years of study. He thought it was pointless to study for years only to end up as a gas station attendant. Everything he had learned seemed like a waste. There were quite a few reasons why Varez wasn't as successful as his peers, other than the fact that he lacked money and connections. Even though he was very intelligent, Varez lacked strong communication skills. He could recite theories and formulas by heart, but when dealing with powerful people, he became awkward and nervous. If asked to speak in public, he would be shy and his
