Chapter 2911 Jessie, on the other hand, didn't get angry. Holding a cocktail glass elegantly, she fixed her gaze on Melissa and looked her up and down.

On the surface, Melissa looked just like any other girt.

And right now, as Marcus towered over Melissa, she looked like a frightened bunny.

Jessie smiled lightly.

Marcus ignored them and focused on Melissa. If he moved just one inch closer, then their lips would touch... Truth be told, Marcus was so tempted to ki*s Melissa, but he didn’t drink that much and was still sober.

His voice hoarse, he asked, “Are you leaving or not?" “No...” Melissa whimpered softly.

She sounded like a helpless bunny being bullied by a big bad wolf.

With a sneer, Marcus let go of her and took two steps back.

He looked down at her while pulling a cigarette and a lighter out of his pocket.

He lowered his head, lit the cigarette, took a long drag and slowly blew out a thin cloud of smoke.

“Fine.” After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his seat, ignoring Melissa.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Jessie thoughtfully handed him a glass of whisky. It was James who looked up at Melissa, who was still frozen in place by the door, and asked if she wanted to come over and join them.

Marcus glanced at James, his expression unreadable.

James immediately shut his mouth for the sake of the Figueroa family’s business. Looking at Melissa, he shot her a helpless smile before going back to whatever he was doing.

“Let's play cards,” Marcus suggested in an indifferent tone.

As soon as he said this, the private room became lively again. It could be seen that, although all the people here were wealthy heirs, he enjoyed an even higher status.

They all played together, but Marcus was different from them.

Marcus was good at this game, but the girl next to him wasn't so lucky. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, “Marcus, take it easy on me, okay?” She leaned in so closely that her red lips rubbed against his neck.

They seemed very close.

Marcus didn’t push her away. On the contrary, he rubbed her shoulder reassuringly.

There was a touch of pampering in his subtle movement.

Chapter 2912 Standing against the door, Melissa watched this scene unfold before her in silence.

She knew that Marcus was doing this on purpose; he just wanted her to see what “his world” was like. Despite this, she still couldn't stand it.

Tears in her eyes, she turned around and reached for the door knob with trembling hands.

Just as the door swung open, Marcus’ voice came from behind her.

“Once you walk out that door, don't ever come to me ever again, Melissa.” Melissa's body kept trembling uncontrollably. She wanted more than anything to whirl around and shout at him to come with her and to not love any other woman...

But she couldn't.

Seeing her hesitate, Marcus sneered. “How dare you say that you Like me, or that you deserve me?” No, it was not like that...

It really wasn't! The environment she had been raised in didn’t nurture confidence or boldness, and she never Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

acquired the courage to fight for what she wanted. And, of course, someone as privileged as Marcus could never comprehend that.

Marcus knew just how beautiful and qualified the girl next to him was.

Moreover, the girl's family background was also excellent.

(Eagles) Melissa, on the other hand, had nothing. How could she fight for someone like Marcus? Melissa stood frozen in place for what felt Like an eternity. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bolted out the door, hell-bent on escaping Marcus’ world. She wanted to flee to a remote island, free of Marcus’ perfume and the lipstick stain on his shirt...

As long as she got out of here now, she'd be fine.

She could always look at him from afar...

The door to the private room was slammed shut behind her.

And the girl that looked like a frightened bunny just now was gone, leaving no trace.

“Marcus, why the hell did you do that?" James asked with a pout.

But before James could get a response, a crystal cup was thrown to the wall beside the door, shattering into a thousand pieces.

The private room fell silent. No one dared to make a sound.

It was the first time they had seen Marcus go crazy over a woman.

“Sorry, I lost my cool for a second.” Marcus stood up, emotionless.

Chapter 2913 “I'l invite you all to dinner once I come back from Livebop. I'm leaving now.” James tried to stop Marcus, but failed.

Afraid that something bad would happen, he gave Jessie a look. Jessie understood and walked over to Marcus, saying softly, “Marcus, you're drunk. I have a driver. Let me send you back.” Marcus had already walked to the door.

Jessie was gentle around Marcus. In fact, given her status, there was no need to please a man like this.

But she liked him.

And she made it obvious, because she knew that if she continued to be reserved, she'd have no chance with him.

Obviously, the woman named Melissa had left a huge mark on Marcus.

Marcus wasn't an inexperienced man; he knew that whenever a woman said that she wanted to send a man home, she actually wanted to spend the night with him.

Given Jessie's identity, Marcus would probably have to take responsibility if he agreed to take her home.

Leaning against the wall, he lit a cigarette and silently surveyed the woman in front of him.

After a while, he acquiesced. “Let's go." Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

(Eagles) He figured it wouldn't hurt to at least try things with Jessie.

After all, they had grown up together; maybe he'd realize that they were right for each other all along if they gave it a shot.
