“Marcus” Madison walked up nervously, glancing left and right. She was worried that the bystanders who were still recording them would post it online. She didn’t want to become the laughing stock of their group
But Marcus had already lost control. He was this close to snapping ever since Gideon took out the marriage certificate.
Avery had been with him for four years, ever since she was 19. Even though he knew he wouldn’t marry Avery, he had already seen Avery as his own property. How could he let Avery belong to someone else! He couldn’t accept it.
“Mateus, you really are pitiable,” Gideon said as he pushed Marcus aside. He held onto Avery’s hand as if to provoke him on purpose.“I should be the one to tell you this. From now on, mess with my wile”
Avery looked up at Gideon with teary eyes as she hid behind him,

Mindy was also stvisus panicked. “Marcus, I don’t want to poto ja This is already in the past! Why is she digging this up now?”

“Gideon, that enough.” Marcus wid. He couldn’t take it. After all, Madison was his childhood sweetheart
“Enough? Do you think this is enough? Do you not know the benefits the Harpers got in exchange for Madison marrying William, the Roundhaven District’s Head of Operations
“You should know full well that William had a wide before marrying her. It’s because the became someone’s mistress that she obtained such benefits!” cideon berated Madison mercilessly. Maurus‘ expression darkened. Madison had been using Marcus pull over not being able to protect her to manipulate him. Had Marcus known that Madison did that of her own accord, he would have been disappointed in her.
That was why Madison was panicking. She grabbed Marcus am desperately. “Marcus, that marriage was forced upon me by my family!”
“Oh, please.“Gideon scoffed, holding onto Avery’s hand as he looked at Frank. The school bullying incident ought to be looked into thoroughly. Cut to the bottom of wover’s behind this.” What Gideon said was meant for Marcus to hear. He meant that Mindy was someone he would absolutely lookin
Furthermore, Gideon said this role Marcus knew who was going to look into the matter. It was adeon himself, and not very. Therefore, Marcus had no reason to kaup pestering her Mindy had already been shocked to the point of crying. She stared at Marcus in for “Mars Marcus! Save me! I don’t want to go to prison!”
Marcus expression darked as his head throbbed in pain. Of course, he wouldn’t let Mindy go to prison. However, his opponent was Gideon. He would have to make a serious amount of effort and slice to succeed
Marcus pinched his brow and turned toward Gideon “Mr. Langston, must we really go as far as to be ones?”
Clearly, there was a way they could both benefit from this.
Gidan simply ignored Mascus and walked away while holding Avery’s hand.
“Avery, you damn jetid it’s been an long! Why can’t you let go of such a small matter?” Mindy hollered as she tried to leave, but she was
Gidesh continued holding Avery’s hand as they went back to the spring rolls store. He took out his phone and paid for the food.
“I said I would pay-“Avery tried to sop him, but Louis modded and smiled before giving a thumbs–up to Gideon.
Gideon seemed to be in a good mood. He nodded back and brought Avery away.

There were many bystanders and who watched everything that went down. However, Gideon just boldly walked away with Avery. There was no need to hide or pretend, after all. Avery simply followed, letting him leader. Her eyes reddened as her vision blurted.
She had been with Marcus for four years. During the time they were together, it felt like he had buried her in an abyss of shadows.
Her relationship with Gideon was supposed to be just for business. It wasn’t something that should have been brought to light. Yet, he boldly bolt has

Avery looked at Gideon gleefully and said, “The shopkeeper taught me how to make them, so I can make you some in the future, too!
Pechaps she spoke before realizing what she said. Her words suggested that Avery was already busy imagining their lite after marriage. The words just shipped right out of her mouth. Hopefully, Gideon wouldn’t mind.
“Sare,” Gideon agreed, much to her surprise. “Though I don’t like ginger
Avery’s eyes be up.” don’t like ginger, either!”
Giden trayed silent. He just stared out the window and chuckled
At Bulimar Main Manor, while Gideon was in the shower, Avery overheard from Whitney that this manor was real estate that belonged to the Burke family. In fact, Manure that were the pride and joy of the entirety of Hemenville’s circle of nobles were all built by the Burka family.
“The Burke family is at the peak of society in Gramsville. A few years ago, they were the only family on par with the Langston family, Whimney explained to Avery.
That was the reason why the Burkes had a formal marriage arranged with Gideon.
“No wonder Olivia’s so patay.” Avery muttered softly.
The Burke family truly was something else
They sem mighty, but people on the inside know the truth–Olivia is an illegitimate child’s daughter. At the end at the dry, she’s not even a Bucks! Nicholas changed his surname to Burke
“If not for than passing away back then, they wouldn’t even have gotten the chance to enter the family! Horshameless of them to just change their satnames like that,” Whitney grumbled
It seemed like she had quite a few opinions about liv.
Avery got curious. “Waley, you don’t seem to very much. Yet, Lydia seems to be fond of her.”
Whimey glanced about briefly to make Gidson was around before saying softly, “Olivia is a two–faced liar. She’s a whole different person behind everyone’s backs and has a way with
Avery nodded, making a mental note to be careful in the future.
The Hurke famuy was leagues above the Harpers. They weren’t someone she would want to pick a fight with as the was now. In fact, she doubted that she could even do so in the future. Atte, all, Madson had a post–she would have to break up with aldean eventually.
