Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 272

Ch. 272 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Malcolm listened to the words of these people. His facial features were as sharp as a knife and there was no expression on his face. However, his black eyes were sharp and stern. There was a dangerous aura around his body.

He picked up the car keys and strode out.

Julian looked and shouted, "Malcolm, where are you going? Wait for me!"

Malcolm said coldly, "I have something to do. Don't follow me!"

Why hadn't Julian heard that he had something to do?

Julian thought, "Alas!

These matters of the past few days had troubled Malcolm a lot.

Even when he saw his mother, he couldn't recognize her. He also couldn't recognize the woman he loved!

In this world, who was more aggrieved than Malcolm?"

Julian expressionlessly stood up and prepared to leave.

Jacob stopped him and said, "Julian, everyone does not have meals yet. Let's go eat dinner together!"

Julian was indifferent and said, "I'm not going. I'm in a bad mood!"

Jacob frowned and teased. "Julian, are you out of love?"

Julian looked at him unhappily. But he indeed felt like he had been out of love.

He sent a greeting message to Jeannie every day, but she still ignored him.

Jeannie did not respond to him at all.

Jacob smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Looks like what I guess is right."

Julian said angrily, "What the hell are you talking about? Have you ever seen me fall in love? Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about it. Aren't we going to drink? Let's go! Call Sergio and Terence."

If Malcolm was not going back, why would Julian go back alone?

He would be the sucker to face the cold furniture alone!

"I won't go."

"I won't go either!"

Sergio and Terence spoke at the same time.

When Julian heard this, he teased, "Hey! You two, what are you pretending for? It was rare for Jacob to treat us to a meal. Can't you guys be decisive?"

Terence looked at him coldly and said, "I wanted to agree to it, but I was afraid that I would wake up and sleep on the ground with the wheel in my arms." Thinking about what happened last time, Terence was furious. As he hugged the wheel to sleep, he could also hug the beauty in his dreams.

When he woke up the next day, he felt a little scared. Was there something unclean in the underground parking lot?

When Julian heard this, he instantly understood that Terence was taking revenge for the last time.

Sergio was thinking about the money he paid last time!

Julian said coldly, "Who asked the two of you to have no demeanor after drinking? Terence, you beat people up when you are drunk. Sergio, you vomited all over the car when you were drunk. Did I say anything wrong?"

Sergio stood up. His white handmade shirt and black suit pants made him look even more handsome and tall. He was expressionless and his tone was faint. "You didn't say anything wrong. You just did something wrong! We agreed not to drink."

Sergio bore this grudge in his heart!

Julian disliked him for throwing up, and Sergio also disliked that Julian slept in his car all night!

Julian walked back and said, "Alright! If the two of you don't go, Jacob and I will go."

"Jacob, let's go. It's just the two of us. I saw that you were in a bad mood during this period of time. I'll accompany you for a few drinks!" Julian glanced at Jacob.

Julian was full of energy.

Jacob nodded. Although the incident of the Chambers family caused an uproar in Fielddell, it was a normal thing for them.

If the few of them gathered together, they would not talk about these things!

After all, this topic was very sensitive to Jacob.

In fact, Jacob was a little curious about Malcolm's way of doing things. He proposed to treat Julian to a meal and wanted to get some information out of him.

Who was the person Malcolm cared about the most? It was definitely his sister, Carol!

Jacob wondered about the relationship between Malcolm and Marilyn.

And Velma, who had been ignored, was nominated by Jacob. "Velma, send Debbie back first. I will come back early. Don't tell Dad and my older brother about what happened tonight. I will think of a way to deal with it myself."

It was not the time to be desperate, and there was still a chance.

Malcolm also agreed to cooperate, so Jacob did not have to worry about it.

In the eyes of everyone, Malcolm was a powerful man. As long as he was there, they did not have to worry that things would go wrong.

Velma nodded. "Okay! Jacob, but you should drink less. Drinking wine will hurt your body!" Her tone was full of respect. Compared to her eldest brother, she preferred Jacob's gentleness and elegance!

"Alright!" Jacob replied indifferently.

Velma looked at Debbie, who had been silent all this while. Seeing her pale face, she knew that she was still worried about what had just happened. She advised, "Mom, don't worry. Boss Lu has promised to help. The company will be fine."

They all believed in Malcolm.

She also believed in that man, but she had unknowingly become a joke in Malcolm's eyes.

Debbie got up and left without saying anything.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and looked at Julian, asking, "Julian, can I ask you a question?"

When Julian heard her serious words, he instantly did not want to answer her. Who knew if she threw out a difficult question?

He smiled faintly, "Mrs. Remington, go ahead!"

"What's the relationship between Marilyn and Bradley? When I came up just now, I saw his assistant come to pick Marilyn up."

It was within Julian's expectations. How was he supposed to answer this?

"I don't know!" Julian lightly threw out three words. Although they all knew that Marilyn was Bradley's daughter, even now, public opinions were in an uproar. Everyone was guessing who Bradley's daughter was.

After all, the great property was really enviable!

Malcolm had also told Terence that before Bradley announced the disappearance of his daughter, he could not tell anyone about it.

After all, Terence was different from Julian and Sergio. He was a person who had a big mouth.

Therefore, when Debbie asked this question, Terence subconsciously pursed his lips. He could not offend Malcolm at this critical moment.

He realized later how he had offended Malcolm.

That was because of the matter of Marilyn buying a house, he could only blame himself for being too slow to react.

Sometimes, Terence really wanted to punch himself to make himself sober.

Debbie stared at Julian.

Julian also looked at her with a calm gaze.

In the end, Debbie was defeated. She did not say anything and left with Velma.

When Julian saw this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

For their company, Marilyn was very serious about her work. She was hardworking, patient, and capable. She could be considered an excellent worker of the Lowe Group.
