Even though he was used to her coldness, her harsh words

still affected Marc.

Marc was confused. “Are you talking about me?”

Pearl leaned back and looked up with cold eyes. “You’ve already done it, so why are you afraid of admitting it? It’s normal for young people to have a one–night stand, but it’s wrong to be two–timing”

A man’s bad habits were hard to change. Even when they were married, he had a secret relationship with Clarissa. After the divorce, what could he

If one was unfaithful, one would tend to remain unfaithful.

This was true for subordinates and friends, and even more inue for ex–husbands.

a long time before realizing who she was referring to. “Are you talking about Donna Palmer

Mare frowned and thought for a long t

“Oh, so that lady is Donna Palmer”

Pearl said indifferently, “She’s really gorgeous. Mr. Males, your tastes change so quickly. I thought you only liked hypocrites like Clarissa. She does like to pretend to be innocent”

Mare couldn’t help but purse his lips, and his expression darkened.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have a temper at all, nor was he the type to stay silent when ridiculed by others. It was just that in front of Pearl, he would try his best to control his temper as he did not want to hurt her again. However, this didn’t mean that he would let her slander him and look down on

him.

Yes, she did come to look for me last night, but I don’t know her and we didn’t have much to talk about. I asked her to leave shortly after.”

Marc’s voice was cold and hard. “Did someone say something to you that made you misunderstand? Or did you pull up the surveillance footage of the area outside my room again and see a woman standing at my door, so you jumped to conclusions?”

Hearing the annoyance in his voice, Pearl knew that this meal was over.

“Mr. Males, you’re overthinking. I have better things to do than pry into your private life. You don’t have to explain anything to me. I’m not objecting to your relationship with her. I just want to make my stance known. I’m not interested in being the third party.

Mare’s p

pupils constricted. “In the end, you still don’t believe me.”

Pearl smiled and shook her head. “It’s enough as long as you are a trustworthy partner in business, Mr. Males. I’ve never cared about the personal lives of my business partners. That’s your private matter. You can do anything you want as long as it doesn’t involve me”

At this point, Marc understood that she was telling him that it was impossible for them to start over.

The idea of starting over was just his wishful thinking.

“I understand what you mean Marc looked at her quietly and said in a cool voice, “I won’t mention such a stupid thing again”

Pearl smirked. “That’s for the best”

At this stage, there was no longer any point in continuing the meal, so they ended it.

Pearl came out with four small bowls. Before she got into the car, she said to Mare, “Lucas should be at Nanston by now. If you’re free, you can arrange a time to go to the racecourse and discuss the specific details of the project there.

Marc nodded. “Try to arrange it for tomorrow. I’ll return to Machodean tomorrow afternoon. If you can’t, I’ll get someone to come to Nansion to discuss the details of the cooperation.”

“You’re returning to Machodean tomorrow?”

Pearl was slightly surprised, but she only said politely. “In a few days, it will be the annual Rose Festival of Nanton. If you’re interested, why don’t you stay for a few more days and experience the festive atmosphere, Mr. Maleak

Under the dark night sky, Marc looked at her calmly and asked, “Do yo

you want me to stay?

Pearl was stunned.

Under his gaze, she said, “I was just making small talk. You can make your own arrangements. It’s late now, so I won’t send you off. See you soon.”

She nodded slightly and got into the car.

Marc lowered his eyes and watched as her car drove away. His eyes dimmed slightly and he suddenly smiled bitterly.

What was he fantasizing about? Was he fantasizing about her saying that she hoped he could stay and spend the festival with her? If she said it, then. he would definitely stay and accompany her.

However, she hated him so much now that she felt terrible just seeing him.

Why should he appear in front of her and make her hate him more?

“Mr. Males, get in the car. Thomas stood by the car and waited for Mare for a long time. Seeing that Marc was staring straight ahead without moving. Thomas couldn’t help but urge Marc. Marc’s humble and sad look made Thomas pity him.

What Thomas actually wanted to say was, “Give up.”

Thomas thought Marc should stop torturing Pearl and himself.

Marc retracted his gaze and waved his hand calmly. “I don’t want to get in the car yet I want to take a stroll down the street.

Nanston was an ancient city with red brick roads and low buildings. The scenery was beautiful, especially the streams and bridges. There were many ancient buildings filled with charm, but there were also skyscrapers in the city center. The city center was also international. Pearl had lived here since she was young. It was no wonder why she was so refined,

Mare walked along the street. He was just strolling, but many girls by the roadside secretly picked up their phones to take photos of him. They secretly exclaimed, “He’s so handsome. Is he a model who’s going to have a photoshoot here? Or is he a famous celebrity? If yes, why don’t I know him?”

“Look at his legs. They’re so long! He has to be at least 6 feet tall. It’s fine if he’s tall, but why is he also handsome? His face is simply… gorgeous. Thomas brought the bodyguards and followed Marc from afar. He was worried to death.

This was Nanston, not Machodean. Because they weren’t back home, it was inevitable that Thomas would feel a little anxious. His boss was still being so “high–profile” despite his looks, so as an assistant, he was really worried. If something happened, he would definitely be cut into pieces by

Brooke.

Murphy’s law stated anything that could go wrong would go wrong, and at the worst possible time.

Marc walked into a small alley. He was quite interested in the design of an old house. Just as he was about to touch the wall, a few men in black practically descended from the sky. Without saying a word, they covered him with a sack and then punched and kicked him.

On the way back, Pearl suddenly had a headache.

Whether she opened her eyes or closed them, what Marc said about starting over again kept echoing in her head.

She wound down the car window in frustration, wanting to take a breather to relieve her frustration.

Pearl did not know what Marc was thinking when he said that, but she did not believe him anymore. Even if she wronged him and he did not have a one–night stand, so what? So what if it was all a misunderstanding?

It was impossible for them to return to the past.

Her phone rang.

It was a call from Marc. She frowned and thought for a moment before answering. “Mr. Males, what’s the matter?”

It wasn’t Marc on the other end of the phone, but Thomas. He was anxious as he said, “Madam, Mr. Males has been attacked. Something has happened

Pearl frowned with concern. “Where are you! be right there!”
