Turning, Yannick furiously glared at the opposite side of the hall as he growled, "Those partners we found yesterday were all frauds! We bought a bulkload of goods, but they're all going to stay in our hands and rot!"Although Mark's mind had gone blank when Fiona announced that she was marrying Yves, he turned where Yannick was looking.There were no thoughts in his mind at all as he stared at Fiona fixedly from the back, while Noris, Boris, and Yannick kept yapping around him.Eventually, he started toward Fiona.But although he wanted to get close, the army of journalists was keeping them apart.And soon, the journalists were flocking around him instead of Fiona.However, all he could think about was that indescribable pain in his chest.Though he was repulsed by the idea of marrying Fiona since he was much younger, he had also accepted it as a fact. And now, it felt like he was run over by a car, getting the wind knocked out of him as he was told that he was wrong—that Fio

Pausing, Fiona then finished, "Oh, please. Did you all think any of you are capable of building anything significant with your limited talents? Without the reputation of the Starr family backing you up, would anyone ever consider you worthwhile partners?""My family has spent millions on you every single year—millions which we could've spent hiring fresh graduates instead of wasting on you." Everyone around Fiona nodded in agreement."How outstanding do you think you really are? There are dozens of you, but only Mark Zimmer has ever achieved anything significant—the rest of you are mediocre if not less, or you wouldn't have only gotten jobs at the branch companies. Even though Norman is taking losses just to help you brats, every last one of you has repaid his kindness with spite!""Exactly! In the end, they got conceited just because people suck up to them. I'd be lucky if I had someone spend millions on me every year! Hell, if they don't want to be Ms. Starr's suitor, I voluntee

Even as Mark bellowed at Sue, his eyes were filled with anguish.Everything, from his suffering to his inferiority complex, could be traced back to his parents' deaths.And it was only now that he realized that while he was so busy turning his rage and grievance on Fiona and her family, the real culprit was Sue, and she had gone unpunished.And for Sue's sake, he had hurt Fiona repeatedly…Seeing the look on Mark's face, Sue let go of his hand, staring at her toes as she sighed, "So you're leaving me too."Then, with an eerie laugh, she broke into a run and dashed out of the door.Yves shot a look at his bodyguards, who promptly gave chase.But even as the crowd were trading looks of utter bewilderment, they heard the audible thump of a cane against the floor tiles.Everyone turned to find Norman Starr striding into the banquet hall, his expression impassive.They had no idea when he had returned to the country, but they quickly cleared a path for him.Norman's gaze swept ove

Norman naturally agreed with Fiona's decision, and the other sponsored suitors who were eavesdropping outside were left devastated when they heard—some even passed out on the spot.At that moment, they absolutely regretted joining the chat group used solely to insult Fiona and her father—doing that was no different from destroying their own bright futures.As for Mark, he still had possessions left in Starr Manor, and Norman gave him twenty-four hours to pack up and leave.He was supposed to be Norman's successor, and Norman was keen to let him marry his daughter.But Mark ruined everything, all by himself.Even as he bowed audibly in front of Norman now, Norman didn't even look at him.When he walked to the front door, he saw Fiona, who had just escorted Yves out of the house.She was completely apathetic to his presence, and he hesitated for a while but walked up to her. "Please, Fiona. I've made mistakes, but I'll take responsibility! I know you hate me, but you have to belie

If Mark refused to accept his punishment, she would make the call, and the bodyguards would drive up to subdue him, tying him to his car anyway.When that happened, there was nothing Mark could do.While Fiona was ready to punish him regardless, she really didn't expect him to simply agree to it.Still, she soon recovered from her surprise and quietly tied him to the car trunk before getting behind the wheel.She looked at the rearview mirror and saw him lowering his gaze, but when he looked up, she had already looked away.As she floored the pedal, he lurched forward uncontrollably and fell painfully on his knees, while his face was scraped against the road and bled.Fiona smirked as she watched and jammed her foot on the brakes, poking her head out the window to watch and wait until he got up.Before he could speak, she was already back inside and drove forward again, returning the favor of what he did to her in the exact same way, dragging him up and down the mountain.She n
