After dismissing the butler, he looked at Zoey, who was seated on the sofa, and took out a cigarette.

"How did you know about that?" he asked after taking a long drag.

Cathy looked away and hid her face from Mark.

"I have my sources.

Someone saw your resignation letter."

After the launch mission, Mark would be resigning from his post.

This news blindsided Cathy, leaving her feeling angry. How could Mark love Cecilia so much that he was willing to postpone his career just so he could make time to be with her and marry her?

“Mark! Your current role is perfect for you. Don't you think it's too late for you to do business for the sake of a naive girl? Do you think you can compete with the Fowler family when it comes to business? And do you think that woman still wants to stay by your side if you're no longer that man of high position?"

Mark blew a cloud of smoke upwards and said beneath his breath,

“It's mone of your business. Cathy, move on. Although Cecilia is young, it doesn't mean she isn't sensible. She chooses to stay by my side more firmly than anyone else could do."

And Mark had decided to spend the rest of his life with Cecilia.

Cathy wanted to say some more, but at this moment, Cecilia had already returned.

Mark took Cecilia's hand and examined the wound at the corner of her mouth. Then, he said to Zoey, "Mom, please attend to Cathy. I'll take Cecilia to change her clothes."

Zoey nodded in response.

Cecilia marched alongside Mark and asked, "Aren't you worried that you're snubbing your guest?"

Mark hadn't seen Cecilia for a day and missed her dearly.

He cornered her against the corridor wall and brushed his fingertips along her wound.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked her.

Cecilia shook her head.

“It doesn't hurt anymore."
