hapter 88 

After dinner, everyone came out of the dining room. Elara and Lysander went out 

Marcus looked at their backs and said to his sister, “Lysander is back. Don’t you have any thoughts at all?” 

“What thoughts can I have?” Felicity asked. 

“You’ve been in the Hawthorne family for so many years, and Aubrey grew up in the Hawthorne family. But after Lysander returned, he became the famous Mr. Blue–Blooded of the Hawthorne family. You don’t care?” 

“Marcus, Felicity looked at Marcus. Her gentle face became more solemn. “Don’t let your brother–in–law hear these words. You know his personality” 

“My brother–in–law?” Marcus said, “He only cares about that woman. How is there any place for you?” 

“Alright,” Felicity said, “I told you to come out and play, not to talk about this. It’ll make people unhappy.” 

She could stay by Wyatt’s side for so long because she had never fought for anything. 

No matter how hard she tried, her son couldn’t replace Lysander, and she couldn’t replace Yessenia in Wyatt’s heart. 

She could stay by Wyatt’s side only because she resembled that woman in the first place. 

Seeing that his sister was always like this, Marcus said nothing. 

He returned to his room, which had a hot spring inside.. 

He was soaking in the hot spring with red wine beside him. 

Thinking of his sister’s appearance, he felt a little helpless. 

At this moment, Daphne walked in. 

She appeared at the door and saw Marcus. “M–Mr. Norman.” 

Marcus said, “You just sent me a message saying you’re looking for me. What’s the matter?” 

Daphne said, “I just have something about work to ask you. I didn’t know you were soaking in the hot spring” As she spoke, she turned away, not daring to look at him. 

Looking at her innocent appearance, Marcus said, “Do you want to join me for a while?” 

“No.” Daphne refused. I’m not that kind of person. I’ll wait for you in the room.” As she spoke, she left the hot spring and returned to the room. 

Marcus got up from the pool and went to his room. He saw Daphne sitting on a chair. 

He came 

up 

behind her and sat beside her, his manner rather frivolous. “You said you were looking for me. What is it?” 

Daphne held a tablet in her hand. I just don’t understand some things and want to ask you.” 

He reached for her tablet and looked at the information on it. 

Daphne said, “I don’t understand this place

Chapter 88 

Marcus said, “Even when you come out to play, you’re still workig. You are hardworking” 

Daphne said, “Ive just come to the company. I have to learn more to keep up with your pac 

Marcus admired her for working so hard. 

He helped her with the questions. 

Seeing that he was half–naked, Daphne didn’t dare to stay any longer. 

59% 

She stood up and was about to leave when Marcus grabbed her Hand and pulled her back. “Since you asked me to help you solve your problem, shouldn’t you be helping me now!” 

He held her in his arms and looked at her innocent appearance 

He had to admit that he was a little tempted by her appearance. 

Daphne was so frightened that her face turned pale. She reached out and pushed Marcus. “Mr. Norman, I’m not that kind of person.” 

“Didn’t you deliberately come to my room to attract my attention?” As he spoke, he leaned over and was about to kiss her. Daphne raised her hand to block him from kissing her. 

Looking at her resistance, Marcus laughed. “You should know that as long as you get into my bed, you’ll get more.” 

Daphne said aggrievedly, “But I didn’t enter the company to sell my body. I only admire your talent and your working ability. I want to learn from you. I worked hard to get into a good university because I wanted to change my family’s condition with my ability. My parents didn’t raise me to be entertained.” 

Marcus stood up and said, “Alright, you can leave now.” 

He walked to the side and lit a cigarette for himself. 

From this angle, he looked very handsome. 

He was young and rich, and his sister was Felicity. 

It had to be said that this man was very good in all aspects. 

In the past, Daphne thought Asher was already the best in school. Now that she thought of Asher, she suddenly felt that he was nothing much. 

Daphne stood up and looked at him worriedly. “Mr. Norman, are you going to fire me?* 

Marcus looked at her and said, “You’ve officially passed the interview. If you had agreed just now… I might have been disappointed in you.” 

He didn’t need a woman who always wanted to climb into his bed 

“Thank you, Mr. Norman.” Outside the door, Daphne stood at the door. She recalled Marcus’s reaction just now and couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Thank goodness. I have made the right bet. 

If she had agreed to his request just now, he might have taken advantage of her and even chased her away. 

Then she would lose the chance to be by his side forever. 

After coming out of Marcus’s room, Daphne had nothing to do. So, she walked around. 

Chapter 88 

She happened to see Flara aiting in the garden. 

Elara had her computer on and was typing on the keyboard. 

Daphine didn’t know shat she was busy with 

“Elara.” Daphur said. 

Elara was writing a manuscript. When she heard Daphne’s voice he was so frightened that she lost her inspiration 

She quickly closed her laptop. “What are you doing?” 

Daphne said, “I just saw you here alone. Lysander didn’t accompany you?” 

“What? You want to be his girlfriend again? Elara asked. 

Seeing that Elara kept harping on the past, Daphne said, “I was muddle–headed about that matter. It’s been so long, but you’re still angry!” 

Elara said. “I’m sorry. I hold grudges. I remember your shameless things clearly?” 

Daphne said with reddened eyes. “It’s because of that matter that Jacqueline has been looking for trouble with me. She didn’t even give me an internship opportunity.” 

Im not the one who asked Jacqueline to find trouble with you. You’re up to no good, to begin with. It’s none of my that someone takes revenge on you”

“Do you have to be so cold when you speak?” Daphne said aggrievedly, “I feel sad when you speak like this. I don’t know many people in Starfield City. I always thought that we were at least friends.”

Daphne’s face stiffened when Elara mentioned Lizzie. 

It had been so long that she had almost forgotten about it. 

Lizzie should be out by now.

Elara asked curiously. “Do you think she will come to you 

Daphne finally managed to calm herself down. She said, “What does her imprisonment have to do with me? It’s not like I asked her to do those things.” 

“You know in your heart whether you asked her to do it. Marcus is a god of stocks, but he’s blind to like someone like you.” Elara thought about how Marcus had been doing well in her previous life. 

Unexpectedly, in this life, he got together with Daphne. 

“What did you say?” As soon as Elara finished speaking. Marcus appeared. 

This woman… Did she say I’m blind?‘ Marcus was not pleased.
