Memories Of The Night

His words weigh heavy like a hammer. There is a severe threat in his tone.

The moment Marcellus appears, surprise flashes on Winnie and Sophie"s previously arrogant faces.

Winnie is incredulous. "Marcellus… How could you talk to me like that?"

Samuel and Marcellus were cla.s.smates in middle school. And Sophie has always been interested in Marcellus.

As a result, Winnie is quite familiar with Marcellus. She treats him warmly every time he comes to their home. Courteous and mild-mannered, Marcellus has always been treated politely by the Andersons.

Marcellus is born to a n.o.ble family, with power not only in business but also in politics. His family is more exalted than the Anderson family.

When Winnie found out that Sophie likes Marcellus, she naturally supported her, hoping that Sophie could climb the ranks and snag a rich husband.

If Sophie can end up with such an excellent man, not only can Winnie rest a.s.sured of her daughter"s happiness, but the Anderson family can also solidify their position in Abbe City through the power and influence of the Brook family. It would kill two birds with one stone.

But as time pa.s.sed by, Marcellus and Samuel grew farther and farther apart. He visits their homeless and less. Even so, when Marcellus sees Winnie, he always behaves graciously and politely, treating her as an elder.

But now…

How could this man, who has always been so excellent and respectful in her eyes, look at her so coldly, going as far as to threaten her?

At this moment, Winnie can"t help but gape in shock.

What has Katrina done to make an outstanding man like Marcellus so fiercely loyal to her?

Marcellus being protective of Katrina and acting indifferent towards her, is like a thorn in Winnie"s heart.

But no one is as shocked and hurt as Sophie when she hears Marcellus"s words. She chokes, "Marcellus, are you really together?"

Marcellus just said that Katrina is his girlfriend.

Are they finally together?

Seeing the man she has loved for so many years holding another woman protectively and saying that she is his girlfriend is a huge blow to Sophie.

Marcellus respects Winnie as an elder and, more or less, treats her courteously.

But as for Sophie…

Ever since she conspired against Katrina, he has cut ties with her completely. He is entirely indifferent to her.

Marcellus ignores Sophie and looks at Winnie, holding back his anger. "Mrs. Green," he says, "my att.i.tude towards you depends on your att.i.tude towards my girlfriend. Since you are disrespectful to her, how do you expect me to speak to you?"

Although Marcellus"s voice is low, Winnie can hear the steel in his tone. He is uncompromising in front of her.

"You…" Winnie is frustrated by Marcellus"s att.i.tude, but she finally accepts defeat.

After all, Marcellus is different from Katrina. He has a strong family background, and she doesn"t dare offend him so easily.

In the beginning, Winnie and Sophie were domineering. But now, they cower helplessly in the wake of Marcellus"s appearance. He forces them to settle down, brooking no further argument.

In the end, Winnie pulls Sophie"s arm. "Sophie, let"s go!"

Because of Marcellus, she will let Katrina go this time.

But she can"t help despairing how such an excellent man as Marcellus could ignore Sophie for a worthless little b.i.t.c.h like Katrina.

As Winnie pulls Sophie"s out of the room, Sophie stares at Marcellus in disbelief.

"Marcellus, Marcellus..."

Sophie can"t bear to give up so easily. She doesn"t want to give up the man she loves, Katrina.

She thought that Marcellus only said that he was cutting ties with her because he was in a bad mood. She thought that he would choose to forgive her when he wasn"t angry anymore.

But ever since that day, Marcellus no longer treats her warmly and cruelly turns a blind eye to her. Not only won"t he look at her, but he announces that he is now another woman"s boyfriend.

How could Sophie give up now?

She wants to get down on her knees and beg him to stop ignoring her. She wants to beg him to give her another chance.

But no matter how many times Sophie calls his name, no matter how much her voice trembles, Marcellus doesn"t even glance at her. He puts his arm around Katrina"s shoulder, and walks straight out, striding past them.

After the whole drama, everyone else in the police station goes back to their own business and whispers among themselves.

"Katrina, seducing her adoptive father? What a ridiculous idea! With a boyfriend like Marcellus Brook, it would be better to marry him. The Brook family is powerful, and Attorney Brook is young and handsome. If Katrina becomes his wife, why would she seduce a man in his fifties?"

"That old woman probably has delusions of her husband leaving her for a young mistress. She probably sees every young pretty girl as her rival. If a girl as good as Katrina is a mistress, then I"m afraid there are no fine girls in the world anymore."

Winnie"s expression twists when she hears the whispers around her.

The sudden appearance of Marcellus only adds to the impression that Winnie and Sophie came to find fault over nothing.

Winnie angrily drags Sophie out.

After she calms down to think about it, she finds her actions today a little impulsive.

Indeed, when she saw that her husband left ten percent of the property to Katrina, an adopted daughter with no ties to him, and heard that Katrina once went to Carl"s office, she immediately saw red and jumped to conclusions.

But does she actually have any evidence of Katrina and Carl having a secret relations.h.i.+p?

Not at all.

It"s all just a conjecture.

Winnie picks up her phone and calls Samuel. "Samuel, didn"t you see Katrina go to your father"s office last time? Why did she come to your father? How long did she stay inside?"

On the other end of the line, Samuel is puzzled by his mother"s sudden inquiries. He answers truthfully, "It looked like she came to deliver some doc.u.ments to him. She came out after a few minutes. What"s the matter, Mom?"
