Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 243

Ch. 243 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

At Marilyn's home.

The whole family was happy and harmonious.

Since Bradley and Elvira had gotten married, Bradley had now moved here.

Bradley thought, "The villa I used to live in is so big, but so what?

I was the only one living there, and I felt so lonely."

After Bradley moved here, he wore a smile on his face all the time.

Dominic, Arturo, and Laverne also liked to chat.

Bradley was also a talented person, and he was very talkative. Even Dominic, who rarely spoke, liked to talk to Bradley.

Marilyn suddenly felt that she had made the right decision.

Marilyn had a very happy home now.

Elvira was very approachable. Bradley was brilliant, and the three children liked him a lot.

Marilyn felt so sweet to look at the happy family.

Marilyn told Elvira and Bradley what had happened that day.

When Bradley heard that Sandy had been locked up in jail, he was still indignant.

To Bradley, no one could bully his daughter.

But Marilyn told Bradley not to worry, and it was such a troublesome matter that Marilyn had to take it slow.

The family chatted for a long time. After having some porridge, Marilyn and Roland went upstairs.

Back in the room, Marilyn took out her phone and turned it on.

Many text messages popped up. They were all sent by Margie, asking what Marilyn wanted.

And Margie asked Marilyn what she wanted to do.

Roland looked at the sharp text messages and smiled coldly. "Lynn, it seems that Margie is already very anxious."

Marilyn nodded slightly and said, "Margie has always been very afraid of what happened back then being exposed. She must be having a bad time during this period!"

Marilyn curled her lips into a smile unintentionally. And she seemed to be deep in thought. Then she slowly said, "Roland, how about giving it a try tonight? Let's see if Margie will tell us where I was hit by the car."

Roland looked at Marilyn with a half-smile. "Lynn, this is what you should do now. You have always wanted to know who your biological parents are. This is a good opportunity."

Marilyn looked at Roland. Then she raised her eyebrows slightly and quickly pursed her lips into a smile. "Roland, I'll do as you said this time."

Marilyn quickly sent a message to Margie.

"Margie, if you don't want what happened back then to go public, tell me from which place you took Marilyn away."

After sending the message, Marilyn sat in the room with Roland and waited for Margie's reply.

At the Chambers's.

On the second floor, in the living room.

At this time, Margie was clearing up the mess for Sandy. Margie was so speechless and helpless about her daughter's stupid behavior. Margie was so furious at Sandy.

The other party didn't want to mediate in the dispute, so Margie could only think of other ways.

Suddenly, the prompt tone of a text message sounded. It was a special notification sound Margie had set up.

As soon as Margie heard the sound, she got nervous.

Margie was the only one at home.

Margie looked at her phone nervously. This special prompt tone made her know who the message was from.

Margie's eyes were filled with a trace of resentment because she knew who exactly this person was.

Margie quickly picked up the phone and took a look at the contents of the message.

The corners of Margie's lips instantly froze into a sneer. "Marilyn, are you trying to find out who you are? Don't even think about it."

Margie muttered to herself and quickly replied.

"Marilyn, I know it's you. If you want to find out who you are, don't even think about it. I won't tell you. If I raised a dog, it would still wag its tail at me. However, after I've raised such an ungrateful person like you, you betrayed me and put me into trouble."

Margie quickly sent out the message, and her red lips curved into a mocking sneer.

Marilyn and Roland soon received the message.

Marilyn and Roland looked at each other.

Marilyn smiled faintly, her lips curling into a sneer. "Roland, Margie has always been a cunning woman. We go to her first, and she will definitely want something from us."

Roland glanced at Marilyn slightly with his sharp black eyes, giving off a dangerous aura.

Roland asked in a low voice, "Lynn, do you know any other Margie's soft spots?"

"Soft spots?" Marilyn thought about it, looked at Roland, smiled strangely, and quickly picked up her phone to send a message, saying, "It's fine if you don't want to tell me. I'll go to the police station now and tell the police about what happened back then. If you're not afraid, you don't have to answer the previous question. However, I have prepared a big surprise for you here. If you see it, you'll be so surprised."

There was something that would make Margie go crazy in Marilyn's hand.

Margie wasn't that happy in her life either. In Marilyn's memories, Margie was the one who supported the Chambers family.

Cameron was so timid that usually, he only dared to walk forward when Margie paved the way for him.

When Margie read the message, she was shocked.

Margie wondered, "How much does Marilyn know about me?

And to give me a big surprise? What may it be?"

Margie quickly replied, "Marilyn, what exactly do you want?"

Marilyn quickly replied, "I just want to know where Marilyn was hit by the car."

Margie hesitated for a moment and did not dare to reply. Once Margie answered this question, everything was exposed.

Margie quickly replied, "I don't know what you are talking about."

When Marilyn saw this, she quickly turned off her phone.

"Roland, you can go back now. I know Margie well, and she won't tell me that easily. Now, I need to be patient, and more patient than Margie," Marilyn said, looking at Roland with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Roland had a smile on his face, but he was filled with hatred in his heart. "Lynn, then you should go to bed early. The Chambers family is already a spent bullet. If you push Margie harder, she will say it. Don't worry."

"Well!" Marilyn nodded and said in a calm tone, "Roland, I've already waited for so many years. I don't mind waiting for a few more days. I'll send a message to her tomorrow morning. I know Margie well. She won't be able to hold on any longer and will soon tell me."

"Alright, I'm leaving. You should go to bed early!" Roland said. He looked at Marilyn with a gentle smile and turned to leave.

Marilyn tidied up a bit and was ready to rest.

As for Margie, when she found Marilyn ignored her after she replied, she became even more panicked.

However, there was nothing Margie could do.

Margie's angry gaze was sharp and cold as she muttered to herself, "It never rains but it pours. The matter of Sandy hasn't been resolved yet, but Marilyn came out to cause trouble again."

Baron and Cameron had gone to Malcolm, but they had not returned yet. Margie was both anxious and angry.

Margie angrily threw her phone on the sofa.

"Damn it! Marilyn, what on earth do you want?" Her angry voice was trembling a little.

Margie collapsed on the sofa with her eyes closed, and her mind was a mess.

Meanwhile, Malcolm and Julian chatted in the park until midnight. Then the two of them returned to the car.

Malcolm glanced at the empty parking spot in front of him, smiled, and thought, "Roland has left.

This bastard actually stayed until late at night.

No wonder Roland could say such words so confidently."

Malcolm and Julian were in the car, and neither of them spoke. But Malcolm could not help but speak first.

"Julian, you really like Jeannie?" Malcolm leaned against the seat and asked with his eyes closed. His voice was deep, magnetic, and also a little chilly, pleasant to the ears.

Julian leaned lazily against the seat as well. When he heard what Malcolm said, he glanced at Malcolm.

The corners of Julian's mouth curled into a gentle smile, and that charming figure in red flashed through his mind.

"Malcolm, aren't you asking while knowing the answer? You should know that I won't easily say that I like someone. Since I say it, then I mean it," said Julian.

Julian said this very seriously. Right now, he was completely attracted to Jeannie.

Unfortunately, during this period of time, Julian had not gotten in touch with Jeannie.

It was as if Jeannie had never appeared in Julian's life.

However, Julian still didn't want to give up.

Especially when Julian saw what happened to Edward in the bar, Julian felt that he probably still had a chance.

Even if Jeannie had ignored Julian all this time, he still had confidence.

Julian thought, "It seems that my mother will have to wait for a long time before she can see her son get married and have a baby."

Then Julian looked at Malcolm in confusion, "Malcolm, why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Malcolm lowered his eyebrows slightly and said with a slightly teasing tone, "It's purely a chat."

Julian was speechless.

Julian snorted coldly and his handsome face instantly turned cold. "Malcolm, I think you are just too idle. Are you trying to get information out of me? Let me tell you, I will only marry Jeannie."

Malcolm laughed happily and presumptuously.

"Julian, actually, I just wanted to show off! Whether you marry Jeannie or not has nothing to do with me," Malcolm said.

"Damn it!" Julian shouted angrily, "Malcolm, have you not shown off enough?"

Julian said as he looked out of the window. His eyes slightly narrowed and he seemed at sea.

In fact, Julian pretended to be full of confidence on the surface, but he was still depressed inside.

There was confusion all over Julian's handsome face.

"Alright! Let's stop here. I'll rest for a while." As Malcolm spoke, he continued to close his eyes to rest.

These past few days, Malcolm was really tired.

Hearing what Malcolm said, Julian leaned forward a little. "Malcolm, wake up. I still have something to ask you!"

"Say it!" Malcolm said coldly.

Julian deliberated for a moment and asked, "Malcolm, if Marilyn's mother is really your mother and she is married to Bradley, what are you going to do?"

When Malcolm heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the villa, whose lights had all gone out, opposite him. Then Malcolm felt really complicated.

Malcolm had never thought about this question.

The car fell silent.

The corners of Malcolm's lips were pursed tightly.

Julian did not say anything. This matter was really important to Malcolm because Marilyn and Malcolm's mother were the two most important people in Malcolm's life.
