Marcus turned around and looked at his father.

Waylen told him everything. "Alan Scott. That's what I'm talking about! He wants Melissa for his son. There are countless rich men in Duefron. You think you're so special? There are many others who can do what you can and even better, especially when you're not even putting up a fight."

"Melissa's not that kind of woman," Marcus argued.

Rena cut in. “If you know that, then why couldn't you be more understanding when she went to Heron? You went as far as stealing her client and putting her in a tight spot. If she doesn't work for the Watson Group and make up for it, she wouldn't be able to survive here."

Marcus listened quietly.
