Marcus and I actually share some fond memories.
Before Lily Blake appeared, Marcus would accompany me to set off fireworks on every birthday.
As a child, I didn’t know that making a wish required silently chanting it in your heart, so I’d always say them aloud.
A few days later, the things I wished for would be sent from the Grant Family.

As I grew older, I stopped voicing them, yet Marcus could always find out my preferences from my friends.
When I arrived at Woshan Park, he was already there.
With just one glance, I knew my suspicions were correct.
The eyes of the young President Grant, born like a calf, and the eyes of the authority figure Chairman Grant are different.
“Emily, it’s been many years since we came here,” he said.
He gazes at the deep abyss that’s impossible to see the bottom of.
At this hour, naturally, no one is setting off fireworks.
“I
“I remember the year you slid down from there,” he pointed to a small hillside nearby, “frightened and crying loudly.”
“I was the one who pulled you up.”
“President Grant has a good memory.” I smiled, “I don’t remember it.”
“So when you came back, you planned to stay away from me, right?”
“Otherwise?” I glanced at him, saying, “Waiting to be killed by you again?”
Marcus Grant raised his eyebrows slightly.
His voice lowered: “Emily, I misunderstood you.”
“It was Jason.” Marcus’s most trusted assistant.
“I only found out during my later investigations that Lily Blake’s best friend was actually a victim from a project back then.”
“After finding out about her plan to fake jumping off a building, he swapped the rope holding her, framing the Harper Family.”
“I trusted you, that’s why I didn’t save her in time, but she truly died…”
I didn’t want to listen much.
It’s obviously fishy from back then, no need to think twice.
But what use is knowing the inside story?
Things he shouldn’t have done, he already did.
“Even if she jumped off and committed suicide because I advised you not to marry her first, so what?” I coldly looked at Marcus Grant, “Marcus, the choice to marry her was in your hands.”

“I thought…”
“I don’t want to hear.”
The early spring night was still somewhat chilly.

Marcus Grant looked at me with deep eyes and suddenly chuckled.
“I know where the root is.”
He tugged me forward and stopped at the edge of the cliff.
He actually brought Lily Blake along.
Her hands and feet tied, her mouth gagged, hanging over the cliff.
Lily Blake’s eyes were already red from crying. Seeing us, she made muffled sounds, tears streaming down.
“Those who deceived me deserve to die!”
Almost in the blink of an eye, Marcus Grant cut the rope hanging Lily Blake.
Leaving no room for sentiment.
