73: Chapter 73 Marcus Sumrs 73: Chapter 73 Marcus Sumrs “Enough with the scolding!
It’s just a phone, if it wasn’t bought, it wasn’t bought!
Serena is just an ingrate; it’s wise for Grace not to spend money on her.” Mrs.
Sumrs saw Grace’s eyes turning red and imdiately felt heartbroken, glaring angrily at Evan in haste.
“When did I scold her?
I was rely discussing the matter factually!”
Evan chuckled in frustration.
His mother’s pampering of Grace had reached an extre.
He used to take it for granted, but now sothing felt off.
Before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, Grace interrupted him.
Suddenly enlightened, Grace excitedly proposed, “Big brother, why don’t we have father ask the Shaw Family for help?
Father has wider connections than us, he will definitely be able to speak with the Shaw Family!”
“I have already consulted father before coming here.
He said he’s powerless in this situation,” Evan sighed helplessly.
If the complaint was made by anyone else, perhaps there might have been a chance.
But it was the Shaw Family.
Despite the Sumrs Family and Shaw Family being nominally in-laws, both families knew the true nature of this marriage.
Moreover, Lucas Shaw’s prioritizing of Serena went beyond anyone’s imagination.
“What should we do?
Big brother, can you really bear to watch fall into disgrace?” Grace’s grievance was imnse, her tears streaming down.
If her earlier expressions held a hint of pretense, now she was genuinely crying.
“Don’t worry, Grace.
I will call our oldest brother in a bit.”
Marcus Sumrs, this year twenty-seven, with a cold deanor, a young achiever and currently the CEO of a listed company.
However, his cold nature prevailed, and he had moved out years ago, not particularly close with the family.
Grace’s eyes brightened, “Right, my oldest brother adores so much, he’ll definitely help!”
Nineteen years ago, when Serena disappeared, Marcus was only six but old enough to rember.
Since then, Marcus’s personality beca increasingly gloomy, he even almost suffered depression.
After Grace was brought into the Sumrs Family, Marcus transferred all his affection for his sister onto her.
Even after Serena was found later, Marcus’s pampering of Grace never diminished.
Black Ink Corporation.
After finishing a eting, Marcus left the conference room and heard his phone vibrating in his pocket.
He frowned, pulling out the phone.
His gaze paused montarily upon seeing the na on the screen.
Grace.
He had been occupied with company matters recently and hadn’t been ho in a long ti.
The last conversation with Grace was half a month ago.
Hastily, he pressed the answer button, his dark eyes softening.
If any subordinate were here, they would see Marcus’s deanor shift drastically from the cold indifference in the conference room.
“Hello, Grace?”
“Big brother, sob sob sob…”
Grace’s plaintive sobs ca through the phone, and in an instant, Marcus’s expression sharpened.
“Grace, what happened?
Did Serena bully you again?”
Grace’s sobbing faintly paused for a second, then she choppily recounted the recent events.
In Grace’s narration, she portrayed herself as a total victim.
And Serena’s actions were described as acts of vengeance against the Sumrs Family.
Marcus’s expression grew darker, his face seemingly about to drip ink.
“Don’t worry, Grace, let think of a solution.
Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer unjustly.”
After hanging up, Marcus was plunged into silence.
The Sumrs Family had three sons in succession, with Mr.
and Mrs.
Sumrs always hoping for a daughter.
Serena was born amidst everyone’s expectations.
Knowing he had a sister delighted Marcus profoundly.
He wished he could stay by his sister’s bedside every day.
He wouldn’t even leave to eat or sleep.
He feared that she might disappear if he wasn’t careful,
But nobody expected that a year later, Serena Sumrs truly vanished.
At that ti, Marcus Sumrs searched for Serena everywhere like a madman.
But he was still a child then, and even the police couldn’t find her, so how could he possibly succeed?
Day after day, Marcus Sumrs gradually began to despair.
At that ti, his father brought back a little girl from the orphanage who was about the sa age as Serena, with a sowhat similar appearance.
After that, Marcus transferred all his love to Grace Sumrs.
And Serena…
Perhaps due to a lack of upbringing from a young age, her behavior was crude and her personality was spoiled and domineering.
That would have been bearable, but she constantly made life difficult and bullied Grace.
The joy of finding his sister gradually turned into aversion.
Marcus often couldn’t help thinking how great it would be if Grace really was his biological sister.
Marcus stood in the corridor, his expression sowhat sinister.
At that mont, his assistant ca out of the eting room with so docunts.
He carefully looked at Marcus, saying, “President, the docunts and files you requested have been organized.”
“Put them on my desk,” Marcus said, his tone icy and his expression dark and unclear.
The assistant nodded, turned, and was about to leave.
But he had only taken a few steps when he was stopped.
“Wait.”
“President, is there anything else you need?” the assistant asked, puzzled, looking at Michael Sumrs.
Marcus tightened his lips, then slowly said, “Please contact Mr.
Lucas Shaw for , tell him I’d like to discuss sothing.”
“About Serena.” He paused, adding that.
The assistant respectfully nodded and imdiately left.
Soon after, Lucas Shaw received a call from Brandon Reese.
“Mr.
Shaw, Marcus Sumrs from the Sumrs Family would like to et with you.”
Lucas Shaw stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his study, looking out at the brightly lit skyscrapers.
He was tall and imposing, with an aura of chilling strength that made others keep their distance.
Upon hearing Marcus’s na, Lucas Shaw’s brow furrowed, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
“Don’t et.”
Serena had already severed ties with the Sumrs Family.
Unless it was business-related, there was no need to et them.
Brandon hesitated for a mont, “Sir, the other party ntioned it’s regarding your wife.”
“What is it about?”
Lucas Shaw turned slowly, his dark cold eyes twinkling with a chilling glint.
Brandon shook his head, “No details.
But I guess it might have sothing to do with the recent water splashing incident.”
“Hah, previously using Serena to gain business advantages, now they want to use our familial connections to plead for Grace.
The Sumrs Family…
They really know how to play the ga,” Lucas Shaw remarked sarcastically, tugging at the corner of his lips.
“Shall I call it off?”
Brandon wasn’t sure of his boss’s intentions and asked cautiously.
“No need.
I am actually curious to see what Marcus is up to.”
After Brandon left, Lucas Shaw’s expression darkened, his eyes seeming to freeze over with an impassable layer of ice, and his aura beca even more intense.
A servant carrying a water glass ca in from outside and suddenly felt a drop in the air pressure.
Upon noticing the chilling figure by the window, a cold shiver ran down his spine.
“Mr.
Shaw, your coffee.”
