After returning to Paris from Chicago, Emma was no longer bothered by those people who claimed to be her friends back home, and her life gradually returned to peace.
At this time, Marcus in the country, after Emma left, has been maintaining a numb state, like a soulless walking corpse.
Kate was both angry and heartbroken, usually elegant, now cursing like a
market shrew.
When Gavin walked into the ward, he saw Marcus and Kate like this, and he was instantly furious.
Gavin pulled Marcus up from the sickbed and slapped him hard twice.
Marcus’s mouth was bleeding, and Gavin’s voice was angrily reprimanding him in his ear.
“Marcus, look at yourself now, do you think Emma will come back to you like this?”
“She wouldn’t even give you a second glance now. If you continue to be so decadent, you will only become a laughingstock to everyone.”

Marcus’s eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes once again.
“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry, in the future…”
Tears dampened the sheets, and the promises Marcus wanted to say were never fully spoken.
Over the next period of time, Marcus cooperated with the treatment. After his body had recovered almost completely, he returned to the company.
Marcus’s business acumen has always been a shocking presence.
Otherwise, those people in Chicago would not have chosen to attack the Donovan Group when Marcus was half dead.
After taking back control of the company, Marcus aggressively retaliated against all those who had targeted the Donovan Group during his absence.
As one industry after another declared bankruptcy, the remaining people nervously sought out Marcus, apologizing in a low voice and various

Gavin and Kate’s faces lit up with joy, thinking that Marcus had finally moved on from Emma leaving.
When they arranged a blind date for Marcus, he exploded in anger, realizing that he had just been burying his sadness deep inside.
This time, no one was able to convince Marcus, no matter who tried.
