Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 147

Ch. 147 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Guillermo said with a cold face, "It's settled. You are unrepentant. Your selfish actions will only pose a risk to the company.

"I will ask the IT Department to delete all the related data and I will supervise the whole process personally."

After Guillermo finished speaking, he turned and left, heading straight to the IT Department.

Yvonne quickly wiped away the tears on her face and fiercely looked at the back of Guillermo as he walked away.

This old bastard!

She even begged him in tears, but he was still so stonehearted.

Yvonne was a vindictive and vengeful person. "Malcolm, Marilyn, just you wait!"

"Mom, what should we do?" Hugo looked at Yvonne worriedly.

He had always been reliant on Yvonne. Without Yvonne in the company, he would have difficulty making decisions on a lot of things.

A cold glint flashed across Yvonne's eyes as she smiled. "Hugo, don't worry! Your father will let me come back after he cools down."

She knew how to get around Guillermo.

She would find a way to persuade Guillermo after he stopped being angry.

After all, they had been married for more than ten years.

"Okay!" Hugo nodded. He knew that Yvonne had always been shrewd, and she would come back eventually.

"Mother, how can you do such a thing? Our relationship with Malcolm is not good already, and doing so will only make Malcolm hate us even more..."

"Shut your mouth!" Yvonne quickly interrupted Meghan angrily. "Remember, Malcolm is not your brother. He is not our family. He is our enemy. He is the enemy who will fight with us for the Guillvonne Group.

"I'm doing all this for you two. Meghan, you should focus on the study of design. You don't have to participate in the company's affairs. Now, send me home."

Yvonne knew that her daughter Meghan was a soft-hearted person, so it would be better to keep Meghan from many of the things they were doing.

Julian happened to hear Yvonne's words as soon as he returned. He could not help but frown. Mrs. Lowe's words sounded a little strange.

However, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But he didn't have enough time to think this through because he needed to find Guillermo. Actually, he had reached the parking lot, but he took a second thought and turned back. He really worried that Yvonne would make trouble. He had to make sure the IT Department had deleted all the data about Marilyn's designs.

On the way back, Sergio deliberately took Billie to another car and let Malcolm and Marilyn sit in the same car.

Malcolm opened the door of the passenger seat for Marilyn.

Marilyn glanced at Malcolm, did not say anything, and got in the car.

Malcolm quickly got in as well.

Marilyn was fastening her seatbelt when Malcolm suddenly hugged her.

Marilyn froze.

"Malcolm, you, what are you...." Marilyn lost track of her words.

Malcolm held her in his arms very tightly. She could feel how painful he was right now.

"Lynn, I'm sorry!" Malcolm closed his eyes, looking pained. Fortunately, he had her by his side today. Otherwise, he would definitely lose control.

He hated hearing his father mention his mother.

"Lynn, I promise that when the time comes, I will let them pay for what you have suffered today."

Marilyn was somewhat at a loss after hearing his words. She was actually quite satisfied with the settlement.

"Malcolm, don't be like this! I..."

Marilyn did not finish speaking because she was stopped by a kiss. Malcolm's cool lips and magnified handsome face stupefied Marilyn.

Marilyn widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.

She opened her lips slightly because of the shock and Malcolm grabbed the opportunity to stick his tongue into her mouth.

Malcolm kissed Marilyn deeply. This was his dream lover that he had waited for for many years.

He felt like he did not want to let her go anymore.

Marilyn was exasperated!

She bit Malcolm hard. The sudden, heart-wrenching pain woke Malcolm up. He tasted the faint smell of blood and smiled slightly.

He stopped, but he did not move away. Instead, he gently rubbed his nose against hers and smiled. "Lynn, you just left a mark on me. From now on, I am yours."

"You..." Marilyn was so angry that she wanted to raise her hand to slap him.

However, when she saw the pain in his eyes, she hesitated.

She pushed Malcolm away, giving herself a chance to catch her breath.

She widened her beautiful eyes and glared at him. "Malcolm, open your eyes and see who I am. I am Marilyn, not the lover you are waiting for. Although we have similar names, I'm not her. Bear that in mind, okay?

"If you dare to do this again, I won't meet you in private again."

"This bastard, that was my first kiss after that night!" Marilyn cursed in her mind.

"What a sharp-tongued little wild cat," Malcolm said with a smile.

As he spoke, he bent over once more. Marilyn immediately put her hands on his chest to stop him.

She stared at Malcolm vigilantly.

Malcolm suddenly smiled mischievously. He looked at Marilyn with gleaming eyes and said in a low and enchanting tone, "Lynn, I just want to help you fasten your seat belt."

Malcolm was secretly happy inside because Marilyn didn't give him a slap.

Also, he noticed the compassion in her eyes.

Marilyn was worried about him.

Hearing his words, Marilyn put down her hands, her face burning, "I, I'll do it myself!"

But before she could finish speaking, Malcolm had already helped her fasten her seat belt.

He elegantly straightened his body and started the car with a gentle smile on his face.

Marilyn glanced at Malcolm and saw his gentle facial expression. He had recovered from those volatile emotions.

A warm heart was the most powerful.

Without a warm heart, no matter how hard the armor one had, he could not fight against the sorrow and pain from inside.

She had also lived in pain. So, she could feel that Malcolm had an uneasy soul.

She felt like they were the same kind of people. They would be touched and moved by even a single sincere hug.

And when they felt vulnerable, they would hide alone, unwilling to let anyone see their pain.

However, they were also different. Malcolm, who was born with acuity and insight, was more sensitive to others' emotions.

Malcolm didn't hear Marilyn speak when he was driving. So, he took the initiative to speak, "Lynn, let's go pick up Arturo, and then we'll eat together."

When Marilyn heard this, she suddenly turned to look at Malcolm and said word by word, "Malcolm, I will go pick up Arturo, not we!"
