Chapter 53

The board of directors burst into sneer. Marcus was furious, "You!" "If there is nothing else, let's call it a day. That's all for today. If you have any complaints, you can talk to me privately. " Marcus looked up defiantly at Tristan. He snorted and thought to himself, "You are so lucky. Tristan, I didn't expect that you would ridicule me with your romantic affairs." Maria was known for his lechery at home. He had been put in jail for several times just because of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. At last, Lady Jane was furious. Marcus was appointed as a director. He could have been on the same level with Tristan, but he missed the good opportunity. Marcus had been bothered by this matter all the time. He thought that his ability was no less than Tristan’s. why was he inferior to him? Marcus began to look for something against Tristan,but Tristan had been married for so many years and hadn't had an affair or been involved in any other scandals. Marcus had wasted a lot of time, but he couldn't find the evidence on Tristan. Fortunately, after Phoebe came back,Tristan had signs of cheating, and finally he divorced.Tristan was so cruel that he divorced his wife, who had been married to him for three years, for another woman. Thinking of Phoebe, Marcus couldn't help swallowing saliva. Marcus didn't cherish such a beauty. He had asked someone to investigate Phoebe, but found nothing. It made Marcus realize that the woman was not an ordinary person. How could an ordinary woman make Tristan buy a priceless jewelry store? Obviously, Marcus failed again this time. He liked to be against Tristan. Even if he failed, he had to let Tristan know that he was thinking about his position all the time. It made him uneasy. Marcus snorted and walked out of the company. He was just a listed director. He didn't do anything serious at ordinary times, but got a large amount of bonus every month. But how could a man's ambition be just a small bonus? Tristan had obtained too much, how could him accept it? No way! When he got downstairs, Marcus took out his phone and wondered whom he should call. Looking at a series of beauties' names on the contact list, Marcus called Rose. He drove away with satisfaction, as if his anger had disappeared. ***************** *TRISTAN* I was standing in the reception hall on the first floor. Seeing that Marcus drove away, I took out my phone and made a phone call. "He is getting more and more restless recently. Pay attention to him and give him a lesson if possible." After hanging up the phone,my fist clenched.I had thought that Marcus would be able to be a nominal director of the company at ease, but I didn't expect that he would always want to make trouble for me. I didn't mind making him unable to be a nominal director. In the world of adults, this is the way it is. You don't want to hurt others, but there are always people who want to hurt you for no reason. If you want to protect yourself, you can only return their attitude in their own way. I didn't mind letting Marcus be in jail for a few more times. Anyway, if Marcus wanted to play these tricks, I could play with him. I had been going too soft on him. Anyone could do something behind other's back. I took out a cigarette and lit it.I always wanted to smoke when I was thinking or confused. I smoking more frequently as of recent. This time,I didn't plan to save Cora’s father's company. In such a situation, even if I did, Cora would think that I was playing a trick on her. Besides, I didn't think that Cora would accept my help.But she deserved this. She had done a lot of shitty things. But a past of me hoped that she wouldn't hate me too much. A cigarette was slowly burning between my fingers, emitting clouds of smoke. It turned out that some people was just like smoke to me. Although I would think of smoke from time to time, I couldn't leave it. The biggest impact was that I couldn't live without her. After the cigarette,I took out my phone and called Noah who had been my good friend for many years,someone who would never betray me. Noah had been back from abroad for a long time, but I hadn't contacted him to entertain him. "Hello, Noah, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner on arriving." There was no affectation in my tone. I didn't need to hide my feelings in front of Noah. "I've been back for so long. It's not interesting for you to treat me on arriving today." Noah answered. "It's my fault. I was too busy and thoughtless. When we meet tonight, I'll punish myself by drinking to stupor.How about that?”I said in a relaxed tone. "Okay, see you tonight." Then he hung up the phone. **************** Lying beside the swimming pool in front of his villa, Noah was drinking afternoon tea. He came back this time to take over the position of the chairman of his family business. Although he didn't like it, he had to fulfill some responsibilities in his life. Moreover, if he didn't take the position, the company would fall into the hands of others. He was worried. However, Noah found it interesting to come back. When he saw Tristan and his ex-wife Cora, at the wine party last time, he knew there would be something interesting to happen. Although Tristan was a debonair, he didn't know much about women. It could be seen from his attitudes towards Phoebe leaving him before. But now he didn't want to say anything more. After all, there were some things in life that needed to be comprehended by himself. It was impossible for others to talk endlessly.
