Chapter 6
My fists clenched involuntarily again.
Lucia approached with a smile to greet me.
“What a coincidence that Georgina is here too. I brought my son to discuss the filming
content with Marcus.”
Morris clung to Marcus’s leg, looking at me timidly, “Daddy, I’m scared of this lady. Can you make her leave?”
a
Marcus coughed awkwardly and explained to me, “He only calls me that because of the show’s requirements. Don’t misunderstand.
“By the way, since Lucia and her son are both here, why don’t you apologize to them?”
I glared at him with a cold smile, “I won’t! She’s the one who keeps seducing my husband. If anyone should apologize, it’s her!”
Marcus looked displeased, “Do you have to make everything so complicated?”
Unexpectedly, Lucia grabbed Marcus’s arm, “It’s okay. If she doesn’t want to apologize, it’s not a big deal.”
Then she walked to my car and began stroking it admiringly.
“Marcus, you know about your loving husband image in the media. Could I borrow this car? We could tell the media it’s a gift from you. It would be good for your public image and help boost your company’s reputation.”
Marcus nodded, “Yes, you need a car more often. You take it.”
I widened my eyes in disbelief, “Did either of you get permission from me, the owner?
You’ve got everything all planned out. Even daydreaming should have its limits!”
Marcus shouted angrily, “This car was bought with company funds that you stole! Come

with me to transfer the ownership, and I’ll help keep this matter quiet!”

“Marcus, you’re nothing but an ungrateful snake! All these years I’ve been with you, did I ever spend a penny of your money? When you were struggling at the beginning, have you forgotten who stood by you through it all?
“You say I stole money from the company? Fine! Call Ben down here to confront me!”
Soon, Ben came down with a stack of printed documents.
“Look, this fund transfer has your signature. And this withdrawal form clearly shows you signed for cash!”
a
I took the papers, examined them carefully, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Marcus, you want to call the police, right? Let me help you with that.”
I took out my phone and was about to dial 110 when Marcus stopped me, “Georgina, I really
don’t want things to get ugly. This way we’ll both have regrets. How can we live together in
the future?”
I laughed coldly, “I have no regrets because that’s not my signature!”
“Ben, although this signature is almost identical to my handwriting, years ago I added a hidden mark to my signature precisely to prevent this kind of situation. Unless I point it out specifically, others can’t notice it.
If you don’t believe me, you can pull up my previous signatures and have the police compare them.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a flash of panic crossed Lucia’s face, but she pretended to be calm as she stepped forward to persuade Marcus.
“Let it go. She’s just upset because I keep causing trouble and affecting your relationship. Don’t pursue this matter. I don’t want the car anymore. Besides, Georgina has been with you for so many years and sacrificed so much. What’s wrong with spending five hundred thousand to buy her a gift?”

After this speech, if I hadn’t seen Ben’s trembling hands, I might have actually believed she was a truly good person.
But Marcus was thoroughly moved.
He gazed at Lucia with tender eyes,” Lucia, you’re still so kind. Georgina, since Lucia is
pleading for you, I’ll let it go this time. Consider the car my gift to you. You’ve worked hard
all these years.
“But don’t pull these little tricks again, okay? I’ll really be angry next
time.”
