Marco's girlfriend stared at her phone in disbelief. "Did he just hang up on me?" she muttered, annoyed. She was nearly twenty years younger than Marco, and if he weren't rich and willing to spend on her, she wouldn't have bothered with him.

Marco had promised her that once he and his sister won the lawsuit and reclaimed their mother's inheritance, he would marry her-making her the official lady of the Janzen family.

As for Marco's ex-wife and the three kids from that marriage, he had reassured her there was nothing to worry about.

His late mother had left money for the children, so Marco didn't have to pay child support.

She knew Marco was originally the eldest son of the Farrell family, a name synonymous with wealth. But she never expected that even after the head of the Farrell family died, the inheritance wouldn't be enough to support his own son's kids.

Thinking about the massive fortune Marco stood to gain, she stuck by his side.

If she actually married him and had a couple of sons, she planned to sweet-talk him into writing a will in her favor. Once Marco died, she would take the money and disappear.

As for the kids? By then, his children from the previous marriage would be grown. They could take care of their younger siblings.

Her ambitions kept her from caring about Marco's age. For now, she lived in a villa, drove a luxury car, and had tens of thousands of dollars in spending money every month.
