Chapter 9
“Great! How could such an interesting game not include me!”
Three days later, my father hosted a grand banquet to announce my identity to the
community.
The event was attended by prominent figures from various fields, and even the mainstream media was present.
Besides these guests, Officer Watson was there too–he had never given up helping my parents search for me all these years.

My parents were surrounded by people, smiling so much they couldn’t close their mouths.
Just as everyone was coming forward to offer congratulations, a discordant voice emerged
from the crowd.
It was Marcus.
Normally, someone of his modest status wouldn’t be able to get into such a gathering, but I had deliberately arranged for an invitation to be sold to him.
I knew he was desperate now, and connecting with Riverside City’s wealthiest family would
be his last resort.
With a face full of forced smiles, he raised his glass to my parents and said,
“Congratulations, congratulations.”
My father frowned and asked, “Who are you? Where’s security? How do they let in just any random person?”
Marcus’s face instantly turned red, but he still had to keep smiling, “Hello, I’m Marcus Peterson from Peterson Group. I just wanted to share in your joy. Pardon my intrusion, but I have a risk–free business opportunity that might interest you.”
My father glared at him with displeasure, “You really have no sense of timing. What kind of

CEO are you? No emotional intelligence whatsoever. This is a celebration of finding my daughter, and you’re talking business with me? I don’t need your peanuts.”
Under my father’s verbal humiliation, everyone gave him looks of contempt.
Just when his embarrassment reached its peak, I made my entrance.
Dressed in an exquisite custom gown, I was led down the stairs like a queen, with Henry holding my hand.
Everyone present let out a gasp.
“So this is your precious daughter! She’s beautiful!”
Under countless camera flashes, I displayed a graceful, appropriate smile.
Marcus stood frozen, repeatedly rubbing his eyes until they were red, finally believing that
the person before him was actually me.
He rushed forward recklessly, trying to grab my hand.
Henry immediately blocked him.
“Georgina! It’s me! I’m your beloved husband Marcus!”
Then he turned to my father, saying, “Father–in–law, I’m Georgina’s husband!”

I said coldly, “Stop with the nonsense. We’ve been divorced for a long time. Now that you
hy, you suddenly remember to call me wife? Where was this when you were
h your ex–wife? You really disgust me!”
ather stood beside me and addressed the crowd, “This bastard bullied my daughter
terribly. I don’t care what you all think, but within my power, I won’t allow someone with
such low morals to continue operating in our business community.”
People chimed in, “I’ve seen his news. He’s truly a disgrace to our business world. We

should completely blacklist him.”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”

Then Officer Watson suddenly tapped his shoulder, “Oh, It’s you. Your ex–wife, Lucia something, and her brother have been arrested by my colleagues for embezzling huge sums
from your company. Your child from that affair now has no one to care for him. How do you still have the heart to cause trouble here? Shouldn’t you be checking on your son? Or don’t you even have that basic humanity?”
My father gave Marcus no further chance to speak, immediately calling security to throw
him out.
The next day, I received a call from an unknown number on my phone.
When I answered, it turned out to be Marcus calling from a new number.
“Georgina, we had an agreement to remarry after the show finished. I promise to live properly with you from now on. Will you come remarry
me?”
