However, he still cared about everything related to Marilyn, so he investigated her.
Malcolm walked back home. He felt heavy inside. Along the way, Roland's words echoed in his mind.
Just as Malcolm arrived at the entrance of the villa, he saw a black Audi parked at his door.
Under some dim street lights, a lonely figure was leaning against the car, surrounded by smoke.
Malcolm recognized that it was Jacob.
Malcolm barely restrained all his emotions, and with the usual expression, he walked to the side of Jacob. The closer he got to Jacob, the more he could feel the dense sadness that he exuded.
"Jacob, what's wrong?" His tone was indifferent as usual.
Jacob looked up at him and put out the cigarette in his hand before turning to him again. "Malcolm, I saw Denise go to dinner with you tonight. Do you know her?"
Malcolm glanced at him, and then he slowly retracted his gaze. He said in a faint tone, "She's Marilyn's friend. We came across, so we had a meal together."
Malcolm nodded expressionlessly. His eyes were a little hollow, but there was a trace of unrestraint pain in his eyes.
"Is she alright?"
"She's fine!" Malcolm responded indifferently.
Looking at Jacob's painful expression, Malcolm felt upset too.
Jacob was really devoted to this relationship. However, it was useless.
No matter how infatuated he was, he did not have the courage to confess it to Debbie.
Malcolm's charming eyes rose slightly as he said "Jacob, we kind of grew up together. Are you sure you want to let go of your happiness just like that?"
In a daze, Jacob replied, "I don't want to, but my mother seems to be determined about it. Moreover, she recently bought a piece of land near the Lakeside District. We are busy working every day. I want to talk about living individually after this matter is over..."
"Leaving on your own?" Malcolm suddenly interrupted him with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"That's right!" Jacob nodded heavily, and his eyes were full of determination. This was the only way out that he had thought of for himself. Only in this way could he be with Denise.
A hint of coldness suddenly appeared on Malcolm's handsome face. "Jacob, it is impossible for you to move out. Moreover, Denise may not agree to be with you now."
"Why is that?" Jacob looked at him in confusion.
Malcolm said sarcastically, "Jacob, since you can't protect her well, you shouldn't enter her life. Do you know what kind of people your mother and sister are?"
Malcolm glanced at Jacob deeply, did not say anything more, and turned to leave.
Velma's insult and Debbie's hurtful words could ruin any living person's dignity!
"My mom and sister?" Jacob frowned as he stared at Malcolm's arrogant back.
Jacob quickly caught up with Malcolm and stopped him from leaving. He asked anxiously, "Malcolm, what did you mean by that? Did you see or hear something?"
"Get out of my way!" Malcolm looked at him with a cold gaze.
As for Jacob's problems, Malcolm was not in the mood to interfere. He was in a mess himself.
"Malcolm, as you said, we grew up together. If Carol is still alive, we might have become a family already. Don't you want to see me live happily?" Jacob looked at Malcolm excitedly.
Malcolm pursed his lips slightly, saying "Jacob, Carol is still alive. Why do you all think that she is dead? If she hears these words, can you imagine how much pain she will endure?"
"I..." Jacob choked and then he said, "But Malcolm, it has been so many years..."
"No matter how many years have passed, we shouldn't give up, right?" Malcolm angrily interrupted him again.
"Also, Jacob, one has to fight for his or her own happiness. Remember those people who hurt you so much that you can barely breathe because they teach you how to endure or be cruel."
After saying that, Malcolm walked past him and strode away.
Different from Malcolm, it would be tough for Jacob to get it all from the beginning without the support of the Remington family!
Debbie would never compromise because she wanted to make Jacob marry a fine lady from a wealthy family!
Jacob had seen how stubborn Debbie could be.
Jacob had been staring at Malcolm's back as he left, and his face was still filled with pain and excitement.
After a long time, he moved his stiff legs and got seated in the car. Then he took another cigarette in frustration and drove away!
Jacob thought, "Damn it, how did things become like this?
Jacob pursed his thin lips in pain and drove at an extremely fast speed.
A long whistle sounded on the wide street.
It broke the lonely night sky!
In the lonely night sky, faint starlight could be seen!
On the next morning, Marilyn arrived at the office on time!
Alaina had got the files for the meeting ready for her.
Alaina looked at Marilyn's attractive face and walked over with a smile. "Good morning, Ms. Chapman. These are the files needed for today's meeting!"
Marilyn looked at her and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Alaina. Let's go to the meeting."
"Alright, Ms. Chapman. According to Sergio's words, Mr. Lowe has a regular meeting today. After the department meeting, he has to go to the general conference room for a meeting." Alaina said with a smile. She didn't feel much pressure working with Marilyn.
"Alright!" The two of them took the elevator downstairs for the meeting.
Malcolm and Mu Julian came to work very early today, even earlier than Marilyn.
The two sat in the office and chatted.
Malcolm glanced at Julian, who was scrolling through the Line, and said in displeasure, "Julian, how many times do you have to check Jeannie's Timeline in a day? You stayed up late at night, and you're doing it now in the office?"
Julian barely glanced at Malcolm and he didn't seem to be angry at all. He pointed to the Timeline of Jeannie and smiled, "Malcolm, don't you want to see your son's photos? Look at him, he's so cool!"
Hearing this, Malcolm looked at his phone.
Seeing the boy's handsome little face, the corners of Malcolm's mouth curled into a faint smile.
"Don't you know whose son he is?" Malcolm looked proud and delighted.
Julian glared at him and mocked, "Malcolm, do you have to act so proudly in front of a single man like me?"
Malcolm smiled naturally and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Julian, he is the reason why I can be proud. I can be proud because I have a son."
"Fine. You can be however proud you want to be!" Julian had no reason to refute. Malcolm was qualified to show off anyway.
Malcolm thought for a moment and said, "Julian, the Remington family is now focused on real estate. Check on the land they have sold in the Lakeside District."
He wondered, "The land in Lakeside District belonged to Bradley. If the land was profitable, why would Bradley wait for others to sell it first?"
