Chapter 222
Hearing this, Marcus shook his head, “It was wrong. Miss Elliott, before this, I always thought Paul was my man, but after, I realized that Paul had betrayed me a long time ago.”
Marcus cried out against it, “He is apparently my man, but in fact he has already colluded with my brother Brooklyn. They deliberately came to this play, in order to frame me! You should know that my brother and I are competing for the right of inheritance. I’ve already fallen behind because of this.”
His statement sounded like a real one.
Violet listened to him and could not be sure whether what he said was true or not.
After all, she wasn’t familiar with the Scotts and didn’t know what their nature really was.
But one thing was certain: the brothers were indeed vying for the right to inherit.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
In order to get the succession smoothly, anyone may indulge in petty and mean actions.
She, on the other hand, became the innocent victim who was implicated.
“Miss Elliott, why don’t you say something? Do you believe my brother Brooklyn and not me?”
Marcus saw that Violet did not say anything and asked her a question.
Violet put down her coffee cup, “Mr. Scott, honestly, I don’t trust anyone. If you’re done, then I’ll take my leave.”
It was over and she didn’t want to dig any deeper.
She just wanted to keep a distance from the Scotts and had no connection with them again.
“Miss Elliott, our cooperation is still valid. I have signed it, and the contract will be effective tomorrow as long as you agree.”
Marcus handed a contract to Violet.
Violet froze and was about to speak when her cell phone on the table rang.
She glanced at it and saw that it was Louis’ calling.
Marcus on the other side also saw the caller ID, and he sipped his coffee with cattiness in his eye.
“Excuse me, I have to take a call first.”
Violet said sorry and then picked up the phone.
“Hello, Mr. Johnson?”
“Where are you?”
“I’m out. Is something wrong?”
“Come to the group right away.”
Violet froze and was about to ask something when Marcus’ voice came to her ear.
“Helena, I have some business to take care of, so I’ll go first. The contract is for you. Just sign it and bring it to Greenville tomorrow.”
Marcus got up and deliberately moved closer to Violet, as if speaking to the person on the other end of the phone.
Violet opened her mouth to call out to him, but Marcus was already striding away.
Louis’ voice came over the receiver, “Who are you with, Marcus or Brooklyn?”
The man’s voice suddenly became deeper, even through the receiver, she can detect his sudden coldness
Violet said, “It’s Marcus.”
The breathing on the receiver was a little heavy, like he was trying to restrain something.
After a long time, he said in an aloof voice, “You have 20 minutes left to come to my office immediately.”
“Pop.” He hung up the phone.
Violet listened to the beeping sound in the earpiece with a puzzled look on her face.
Why was he throwing such a tantrum?
Also, why did she have to go to the Johnson Group and listen to him?
In the car on the side of the road, Marcus watched Violet drive away, and his mouth turned upwards in a winning smile.
Louis heard his voice and should have misunderstood something!
“Marcus, how was my plan this time? Was it perfect enough?”
Grace on the passenger side leaned over and stroked his chest with her hand.
Marcus caught her hand and wrapped an arm around her, smiling wickedly, “This time it was done beautifully. I’m satisfied.”
Grace was pretty smart.
She first used Luka to get Louis’ computer password.
Then, he sent someone to sneak into the president’s office of the Johnson Group in the middle of the night and stole the information.
The next step was to clear herself of suspicion and make Violet the focus of Louis’ suspicion.
The meeting he just had with Violet was also part of the plan.
He had to make Louis suspect that Violet was helping the Scott Group steal the plan in order to get the collaboration with Greenville.
“So, which one is a better half for you, Jasmine or me?”
Grace leaned into Marcus’s arms, still a little bit upset about Marcus and Jasmine being together.
Marcus lifted her chin with his index finger and smiled flirtatiously, “Are you jealous again? Didn’t I tell you that I was just using her. The person I love most is of course you.”
Hearing this, Grace pursed and didn’t continue the conversation.
“Marcus, I have checked out the guy who was following Violet. Do you know who he is?”
“Who is he?”
