A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 784 A Jealous Rage

Cassius fell silent suddenly and the atmosphere was oppressing. After a while, he asked quietly, “Don’t you really care about the Hughes Group anymore? Don’t you care about Marley anymore?”

Sylvie closed her eyes and the atmosphere cooled down again at once, “I don’t want to become a villain either, but the decision is not with me and it is with you! If you want to take it back, that’s your business, but then again, you just want the money, and the period written on the contract is not finished and you just can’t get it back!”

“Hum hum…” Cassius smiled and his wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes. “Before losing your mind, you are right that the Hughes Group got a big deal this time! Are you so useless that you have to divorce him? What is the big deal with the woman outside? Isn’t that easy to let him have his heart on you with your intelligence and tactics?”

There was no point in keeping a dirty man! Sylvie would not tell Cassius what was on her mind.

“Drink the soup! The successor of the Mccarthy Group is none other than you! I have already made a will and after my death, all of these are yours! Whether to donate it or to carry it forward, it is your burden to care for the survival of the group of ten thousand people and it is your business to take it or not!” Cassius finished his words, stood up, and left!

Sylvie stood dumbfounded in the living room and she felt even more upset!

She didn’t go out for the entire day and during the day, she drew drawings at home, modifying the design as if it was a draft, staying up late at night to make the drawings, and deliver them to Ryan via mail.

Waking up early in the morning, her pregnancy vomiting was again worse. After washing up in the bathroom, she tidied herself up and prepared to go out shopping.

She didn’t have much money left in her account and had to plan well to earn a fortune before the baby was born. She didn’t think it was the right place to live anymore as they all knew where she lived and it would only add to her sadness.

Marley didn’t want a divorce, but she wasn’t either going to let him act in an unrestrained way at the same time. She really couldn’t do such a thing but for the sake of the baby!

The thought of the baby made her sad.

As soon as she opened the door, she met Marley.

He was standing at the doorway with his disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes. His clothes were still the same as yesterday, wrinkled and unchanged as if he hadn’t slept for a long time!

He was standing at her door, but Sylvie was not touched at all.

She no longer read the newspapers or the news so she didn’t feel anything about it and she just wanted to get on with her life. Luckily, the reporters didn’t know about her place, otherwise, they would have come to her for an interview too.

“Sylvie…” When he saw Sylvie, Marley looked entangled and he hesitated for a moment before calling her name.

With a bang, Sylvie closed the door instantly and her heart tightened at that moment. Why did her heart feel sad and she felt suffocated when she saw his haggard appearance?

Why did he come again? What was he doing here? She didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore, didn’t he know that? She had said everything clearly!

She had never known him to be such a loving man. Why was he coming yesterday and today? Was he planning to make another visit?

Marley, who was outside the door, was still a bit shocked to see her suddenly closing the door. He was stunned for a moment before his hand pressed the doorbell.

Sylvie stood inside, she could not restrain herself from looking at Marley with a good face when thinking of all the intimacy between Marley and Jemima. She was so jealous that she couldn’t even restrain the craze in her heart. She was clearly not a competitive person since she was a child, but she was jealous. So she would give him up rather than allow herself to mourn. It was painful to love someone, especially when one could not restrain that growing possessiveness. The doorbell kept ringing which showed how persistent he was.

She suddenly felt so weak that tears fell from her eyes involuntarily when she listened to the doorbell.

She didn’t like to cry as she had always thought that she was strong enough.

Took a deep breath!

Didn’t cry!

She told herself in her heart! Reorganized her emotions, she had to face it! There was no way to run away!

With grit of her teeth, she pulled the door open again.

She struggled to look him in the eye. As the door suddenly opened, there was a shocked face of Marley who thought she would never open the door again.

She slowly bowed her head and said. “Come in!”

Marley was startled and suddenly surprised in his heart as she had let himself in.

However, after coming in, he saw Sylvie returning to the sofa where she had clearly changed her clothes and looked like she wanted to go out.

“Sylvie, let’s go home!” He opened his mouth to utter the words.

Sylvie who sat on the sofa, glanced at him while raising her eyebrows and said, “I have said everything clearly, I won’t be with you anymore. You should stop pestering and let’s get the formalities over with when you are convenient! I won’t say anything nonsense in the meantime and will defend your image for you!”

“Aren’t you done being angry yet?” Upon hearing her saying, Marley’s face turned cold and appalling. With anger, he clenched his fists tightly with the veins on his forehead sprang up. He gritted his teeth, looking at her, and said again, “I say again, I will not divorce!”

“Marley, my patience has run out and I can’t possibly be at your mercy anymore.”

“How long are you going to keep this trouble up?” Marley took a few steps up and tugged her arm tightly, “That is definitely not the same as the rumors outside and there is really nothing between Jemima and me!”

Sylvie was slightly stunned as her eyes stared at him then fell on his neck where at the slightly open neckline, there was still a faint hickey which had not faded away even now.

She felt pain in her eyes and she indifferently shook off his grip, “Everything is no longer my business! You know it yourself clearly between you and Jemima, yet, I am already an evil woman in your eyes, why do you still need to pester me?”

She raised her eyes and stared at him for an instant, trying to catch every change in his expression. “Marley, don’t make anymore useless struggles, there is no point in doing so and it will only make me look down on you!”

Finishing her words, she stood up, “Go away, I’m going out! Sorry, there is no time to waste with you!”

She walked towards the door and he stepped forward and grabbed her. “Sylvie, how can you be so irresponsible?”

“Are you responsible enough? Marley, I’m telling you! This world is fair and no one can indulge you with new love on one side and old love on the other! There might be a woman who can indulge you for being amorous and shameless at the same time, but it is definitely not me! The business between you and Jemima has nothing to do with me! No one can indulge anyone all the time!”

Love was equal and the ultimate end of unequal love could only hurt both sides. From the beginning, she and Marley were not on the same starting line. He had never loved her!

So, she would not make any entanglement! Her love had nothing to do with him! Yet, she had known the end!

She shook him off and pulled the door open.

“Sylvie?” Ryan was standing at the doorway and he was stunned to see her and Marley who was following behind her. He then narrowed slightly and looked at Marley, “Mr. Hughes!”

Marley caught a glimpse of Ryan standing at the doorway with his hand hanging at his side unconsciously clenched into a fist. “Mr. Babel is so free to come and find Sylvie early in the morning!”

His tone was so cold that it almost made the atmosphere suppress.

Sylvie instantly froze as soon as she saw Ryan who must be worried about herself again. She instantly tensed up as she didn’t want Ryan to know about the conflict between her and Marley.

Ryan didn’t say anything and walked in. “Are you going out?”

She got even nervous when she saw Ryan walking in and realized that the three of them were meeting together like this. She knew that Ryan was getting engaged and it wasn’t that she hadn’t realized what was going on. Only that she was really afraid that Ryan would cancel his engagement with Skyla because of herself. “Ryan, what’s the matter?”

Ryan walked over to Sylvie and murmured at her, “I come to see you!”

“Mr. Babel is so early! I’m so touched and grateful that you care so much for Sylvie!” Marley’s tone was indifferent and yet, with some jealousy inside!

Sylvie didn’t say anything which made Marley a little surprised but also understood that it seemed that she didn’t want Ryan to know that she was going to divorce himself.

Ryan laughed before looking up at Marley. Something flashed under his eyes and he didn’t take Marley’s hostile tone seriously but only said in a deep voice, “Mr. Hughes is also here! I don’t expect you to stay here last night! I thought that Mr. Hughes had stayed out all night just as the newspapers had written! I should be concerned about Sylvie as she is my sister. If I don’t care about her, who else can I care about? But now I’m also concerned about you, Mr. Hughes, you can’t bully Sylvie!”

Marley didn’t say a word but turned to look back at Sylvie and saw that she seemed a little nervous.

Ryan’s eyes never left Marley’s face as if to be waiting for his explanation. “Mr. Hughes, I wonder if you have anything to say about today’s newspaper? Shouldn’t there be an explanation with Sylvie?”

“It’s not true!” Marley threw out the words and reached out to put his arm around Sylvie in a possessive manner, acting as if he was her husband.

Sylvie frowned and tried to shake off his hand but he pushed even harder and wouldn’t let her break away. He even lowered his head and deliberately murmured, “Aren’t you afraid that he would find out?”

Those words were like alarm bells starting Sylvie. How could he have known that? NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The next second, Sylvie suddenly regained her consciousness and murmured, “Let me go.”

He let go of her and Sylvie looked terrified without saying anything much but bowing her head and going back to the sofa.

“Sylvie is having a childish tantrum, don’t be offended, Mr. Babel.” Marley did not expect Ryan’s arrival could help him so his face eased and he said with a smile. “Mr. Babel, please have your seat!”

He acted like a male host and raised his eyes to meet Ryan, “This is a misunderstanding! I’m soothing Sylvie and please Mr. Babel help me!”

Ryan’s eyes looked searchingly at Sylvie who was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, “Ryan, I am fine here! Don’t worry! Go back quickly!”

“That’s fine!” Ryan also did not stay much longer. “Then I won’t disturb you two!”

He left after saying that.

Sylvie did not know what was written in today's newspaper.

But Ryan’s arrival really broke the way she was getting along with him now.

For a while, Sylvie had no clue how to kick him out.

If she kicked Marley out now, Ryan would definitely see him downstairs. Marley once said Ryan didn’t treat her as his sister but as a lover. She did not doubt about that, but no matter what, she had to let him get engaged to Skyla as she did not want anything to go wrong, even though it might just be an excessive worry, she really did not want anything to go wrong!
