Upon hearing the same question from his father again, Mark understood that the matters of that day had reached the older man.

“Dad, she and I can never be,” he replied.

Of course, he was distraught by that fact, but there was nothing else he could do.

“Does she not like you, or do you not like her?” Quinton felt it was such a shame.

After all, he was really fond of a girl like Sophie.

“Don’t ask about it anymore, Dad. All you need to know is that it’s not going to happen. Also, don’t do anything to Sophie,” Mark stated.

“You like her a lot,” Quinton pointed out immediately. “So, she doesn’t like you. Am I right?”

Does she not have any taste? It’s my son we’re talking about!

Mark was bereft of words.

Did he really have to say it out loud? What’s the point of doing that?

“All right. I understand what’s going on now.” Quinton narrowed his eyes as an idea formed in his mind. Since my boy likes her, I’ll make sure he gets what he wants. She’s a woman, anyway! All he has to do is get her in bed, and she’ll be utterly biddable.

Having been involved in the underworld for a long time, he clearly had many tricks up his sleeve and was determined to help his son.

Yet, Mark had no idea what his father was plotting. All he had on his mind then was the way his band members looked when they left earlier.

I must’ve really hurt them this time. Maybe they won’t come back and see me anymore.

Meanwhile, Sophie had already brought Sunny and the others back to the mansion. The four band members had not uttered a word ever since returning.

Whatever had just happened dealt a huge blow to them, after all.

Even when Mark said he wanted to leave, they did not despair as much.

Never had they expected The Wheelers to end up in such a state.

Sunny, especially, was unable to accept such an outcome, but there was nothing he could do to salvage the situation.
