Natalie bit her lower lip and let out a frustrated sigh. She knew there was no point arguing with the man, especially when he was only following his master’s orders.
“Okay, I told you I would come when the day gets nearer. Just give me some time to bid Marcus farewell. Is that too much to ask? ” she said, her voice carrying a hint of desperation.
The man frowned and stared at her for several seconds. Clearly, he wasn’t pleased with her request, but after a moment, he finally nodded.
“Fine. I’ll give you a little more time, but don’t forget that the master is waiting for you. When the day comes, you must be ready to leave without hesitation p>
Natalie swallowed nervously and nodded. “I understand. Thank you p>
Without saying another word, the man opened the car door and stepped out. He glanced around the dark alley before walking away, leaving Natalie alone inside the vehicle. She remained there for a while, staring through the windshield with a troubled expression. She had no idea how she would bring herself to say goodbye to Marcus, the man who had unknowingly become so important to her.
After a few minutes, Natalie finally opened the door and stepped out of the car.
The next morning, Marcus arrived at Natalie’s apartment building. As soon as he enter, the girls saw him, their faces lit up with
excitement.
“Mr. Marcus!” they exclaimed together before rushing toward him.
Marcus smiled warmly at them. “Hmm, are you girls already moving out p>
“Yes!” Olive answered excitedly, while the other nodded enthusiastically.
Their reaction made Marcus chuckle. Just then, Rosa straightened up from where she had been packing and approached him with a grateful smile.
“Yes, Mr. Marcus. We’re finally leaving this place, and thanks to you, Mr. Kingsley won’t be a problem for us anymore.” She paused briefly before continuing, her eyes shining with happiness. “A lawyer also called me yesterday. Apparently, all the products Mr. Kingsley stole from me will be returned, and I’ll receive a substantial amount of compensation as well. Can you imagine that? In a matter of moments, I could become a wealthy woman p>
Marcus smiled at her excitement. “That’s wonderful news, Rosa. You deserve every bit of it p>
Rosa’s eyes immediately filled with tears. Unable to contain her emotions, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms tightly around him.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Marcus. I honestly don’t know how I’ll ever repay you for everything you’ve done for me and my daughters. You gave us hope when we thought we had lost everything. I’ll never forget your kindness p>
Marcus gently patted her back, feeling slightly embarrassed by her overwhelming gratitude.
“It’s okay, Rosa. You don’t have to repay me for anything. I’m just glad everything is finally working out for you and your daughters p>
As Rosa slowly released him, Marcus suddenly noticed The bead in his hand had begun to shine again, emitting a faint but unmistakable glow.
His smile gradually faded as he looked down at it.
Marcus glanced at Rosa, studying her face carefully. There was something about her that seemed strangely connected to the

mysterious bead.
He opened his mouth, intending to ask her a question, but before he could speak, the bedroom door opened.
Natalie stepped out, looking slightly surprised to see him.
“Oh, you’re back,” she said.
Marcus lifted his head and nodded.
“Yeah, I am p>
Natalie looked straight at Marcus with a smile. There was something unusually affectionate about the way she gazed at him, as though she had been separated from him for years and had only just found him again. For a moment, she completely forgot herself, allowing the emotions she had been struggling to suppress to show clearly in her eyes. It was the kind of look someone gave a person they had deeply missed, someone they weren’t ready to lose.
Marcus noticed it immediately. He frowned slightly, studying her face with curiosity.
“Mmm, Natalie, is there any problem?” he asked.
Natalie immediately caught herself and looked away, forcing a casual smile onto her face. “No, no. What problem could there be? I’m just tired, that’s all p>
Rosa, who had been watching them, suddenly felt guilty. She glanced between the two of them before letting out a sigh. “Oh, it must be because of me. You two have barely had any time to rest since everything happened. You’ve been helping me and my daughters with one problem after another, and I haven’t even considered how exhausted you must be p>
Natalie quickly shook her head. “No, Rosa, don’t think like that. You don’t have to feel guilty about anything. We’re happy to help you, and that’s all that matters p>
Marcus nodded.
Rosa smiled gratefully before returning to her packing. Although she was relieved that her problems were finally coming to an end, she couldn’t help feeling emotional about leaving the place where she had spent so much time struggling to survive.
Four hours later, Rosa and the girls had finished packing their belongings.
Marcus and Natalie accompanied them downstairs, helping the driver arrange their luggage in the trunk.
Once everything was ready, Rosa turned toward them with a grateful smile. I honestly don’t know how to thank you both for everything. You’ve done so much for us, and I’ll never forget it p>
Marcus smiled p>
One of the girls leaned out through the open car window and waved excitedly at them. “Mr. Marcus! Natalie! We’ll come and visit you p>
Marcus chuckled and waved back. “We’ll be waiting for you p>
Rosa’settled into the taxi. After exchanging a few more words, Rosa finally waved goodbye, and the taxi drove away. Marcus and Natalie remained outside until the vehicle disappeared around the corner.
Only then did they turn and head back inside.
As soon as they entered the apartment, Marcus glanced at Natalie again. He had been thinking about her unusual expression earlier, and the memory continued to bother him.
“Natalie, are you really sure you’re okay?” he asked, his voice carrying genuine concern. “You’ve been acting a little strange today p>

Natalie paused briefly before turning toward him with a reassuring smile.
“Yeah, I told you I’m just tired p>
Marcus studied her face for another moment before finally nodding. “All right. I will take your word for it p>
Natalie smiled, although a trace of sadness flickered in her eyes.
“Actually, there’s something else I need to tell you. The president would like to meet with you tonight, at Hera Palace as usual p>
Marcus nodded calmly. “All right p>
