?Chapter 998:


    “You’re family!” Shelton shouted.


    Marvin found this tedious. Shelton had been reckless in his youth, fathering more than a dozen children, so Marvin had many cousins. They were all part of his family. Shelton favored Quincy unfairly, but Marvin ignored Shelton’s preferences.


    Spotting Marvin emerge from his office, Marcelo hurried over to him. “Mr. Hill, are you heading out? The meeting starts in an hour. You…”


    “I’ll be back soon. Give me your car key,” Marvin told Marcelo.


    Marcelo grasped the situation and handed him the key.


    After Marvin departed, his secretary asked with curiosity, “Marcelo, Mr. Hill goes out every afternoon. Where does he go?”


    Keeping a serious expression, Marcelo replied, “He goes to cook for someone.”


    The secretary was astonished. “What? Mr. Hill can cook? Who is he cooking for?” Marvin was always busy. Did he really have time and energy to cook for someone?


    Marcelo responded, “He cooks for his goddess.”


    Though Marvin had mentally prepared for this, he still felt frustrated when he entered the password and the door didn’t open. He chuckled at his own mistake. Indeed, he shouldn’t have reminded Baylee about changing the password. Now he was locked out.


    Inside the apartment, Baylee heard the sound of someone entering the password outside, and her body tensed up. She suspected it was Marvin.


    Ding Dong! Marvin pressed the doorbell, but there was no answer. He was aware that Baylee was inside. Before he went upstairs, he had noticed that the light in her apartment was on.


    Baylee ignored the doorbell and focused on the book in herp.


    Eventually, footsteps outside resumed, then faded away after a few seconds. Baylee assumed Marvin had departed. For some reason, she let out a sigh of relief.


    Unconsciously, she walked to the balcony and peeked downstairs from behind the curtain. She was waiting for a figure to leave her neighborhood. But after ten minutes, she still hadn’t seen Marvin!


    Where could he be? Hadn’t he left? Baylee couldn’t understand.


    Stay tuned for more g??lnoνe??s.c?m


    Was it possible Marvin had had an ident in the building? If so, she would be in serious trouble!


    Baylee checked through the peephole to ensure no one was outside. Then she opened the door.


    When the door opened, a tall, imposing man emerged suddenly, causing Baylee to scream in fright.


    Marvin smiled at her as he looked on. “You’re home.”


    Baylee tried earnestly to close the door, her expression cold.


    Marvin quickly prevented her from shutting it.


    He pleaded, “Baylee, we need to talk.”


    “We’ve talked about everything.”


    “Then why are youing out to see me now?”


    It seemed Marvin had finally pinpointed her vulnerability. He stared intensely at Baylee, his gaze unwavering, as if he could see through her deception. Baylee clenched her teeth, restraining the urge to roll her eyes.
