CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 229 MARK: BABY, I PROMISE I’M CLEAN...

She has been waiting, waiting for the day he recovers, so they can be together forever.

But what did she wait for?

What she waited for wasn’t his gratitude, nor his recognition, and certainly not to be together forever, but rather the rupture seventeen years later, where he pointed a gun at her!...

After Adrian emptied the bullets from his gun, there wasn’t a shred of hesitation as he gave Bella Sutton a cold, piercing stare.

He turned and walked away directly.

His departing figure was so resolute, resolute enough to chill one’s heart.

Bella Sutton still stood motionless there.

She stared blankly at his departing back, her gray eyes filled with sinister despair and a chilling desire for destructive vengeance!

"Adrian, the grievances between us cannot be erased by your words alone! I, Bella Sutton, will have what I want, whether it’s a person or a thing, eventually it will be mine! Adrian, from seventeen years ago, you were destined to be mine!"

...

Mark initially went to River City to handle some important matters, but due to the issue with Baby, he was delayed and needs to return to Mexico immediately.

However, he does not regret it.

Because, in his view, saving Baby is more important.

The important matters he originally intended to handle will be completed perfectly through other means.

Mark looked at Benjamin Parker and bid him farewell: "Baby, I must return to Mexico right away."

Benjamin lifted his head to look at Mark, his gaze puzzled, yet his voice carried a tone of certainty, "You work for Virgil Davies, and at the same time you’re with Bella Sutton!"

If Mark wanted, he could surely find an airtight excuse and keep it from Baby.

But he doesn’t want to do that, he doesn’t want to deceive Baby.

Looking at Benjamin, he admitted frankly: "Yes."

Benjamin’s obsidian-like eyes glinted with cold light, he spoke mockingly: "Mark, I underestimated you, turns out you have so many identities."

Before Mark could respond, Benjamin continued without waiting: "Mark, I’ve noted your help this time. If you ever need anything in the future, I’ll definitely repay it. But I won’t associate with people like you from the underworld! Let’s not contact each other anymore!"

"Baby, I’ve just saved you and now you’re burning bridges?" Mark’s face bore a mischievous smile as he crouched down in front of Benjamin.

He embraced Baby, his eyes filled with affection as he gently continued: "Baby, I’m not part of the underworld, never have been, I’m just your undercover. This matter is a long story. But Baby, you must trust me. And remember, I will never let you down."

Benjamin stared intently at Mark with his eyes like black jade.

Mark’s eyes matched in darkness, reflecting a clear image of his own reflection.

At this moment, Benjamin trusted his words, trusted that he wasn’t deceiving him.

His expression softened slightly, uncomfortable with being held like this by Mark, he spoke with pride, "Okay, I’ll trust you for now, let go of me first."

However, Mark’s embrace did not waver.

He still held Benjamin tightly, a magnetic and wicked voice sounded above his head, "Remember Baby, I’m still going to pursue your beautiful mommy. My greatest wish in this life is to become your daddy!"

Upon hearing this, Benjamin’s small face turned cold.

Though he’s willing to believe Mark’s words and loyalty,

it doesn’t mean he agrees to that guy pursuing his mommy.

Considering his understanding of this guy, he doesn’t even have the qualification to pursue Mommy.

Benjamin lifted his head, looking at the man who, even crouching to embrace him, was still much taller, spoke coolly: "I already have a daddy, just give up!"

After speaking, Benjamin didn’t forget to coldly add, "Mark, someone like you must have sketchy conduct, someone who changes women like clothes, someone like my mommy, a goddess, shouldn’t even think of pursuing her, let alone hoping to!"

"Baby, you can’t say that about me, my heart is about to break." Mark wore a face of sorrow as he looked at Benjamin, praising himself, "Baby, you shouldn’t judge people by their looks! Although I’m handsome and often mingle among flowers, I’ve always been clean and untouched."

Benjamin looked at Mark with contempt, wearing an expression of disbelief.

Seeing this, Mark’s sorrow deepened, speaking shocking words: "Baby, I’m still a virgin!"

Benjamin: "..."

He’s just a child, a four-year-old child.

It’s really appropriate for Mark, this shameless guy, to discuss such matters, right?

But Mark didn’t stop there.

After the comment, he played the emotional card, "Baby, consider the situation, who saved you when you were in danger? And where is your biological dad? Is he as good to you as I am?"

Benjamin ignored Mark, his handsome little face coated with frost.

He looked at Mark, coldly spoke: "Weren’t you in a hurry to go back to Mexico? Hurry up then!"

Knowing that Baby was upset, even if not with him, Mark tactfully chose not to say more.

He gave Baby a kiss on the cheek, released Benjamin from his embrace, bid farewell with affection, "Baby, goodbye."

Benjamin disdainfully wiped it off, turned his cold face, ignoring him, and walked away.

Leaving Mark with only a cool silhouette.

Mark watched the little guy walk towards Daniel Davies and Barrett Carter, his lips curled, revealing a heartfelt smile.

After Adrian left the Sutton castle, he coldly instructed Locke, "Immediately have someone investigate all the businesses under Mr. Sutton’s name, see if there are any abnormalities."

"Yes!" Locke received the order and promptly made arrangements.

Adrian strode towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom, stood there, and lit a cigarette.

His handsome brows furrowed tightly, one puff after another, exhaling white smoke.

Soon, the cigarette burnt out.

Adrian tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it harshly.

At this moment, Locke returned.

He stood firm opposite Adrian, reporting the news he just received, "President, a base of the Sutton family in Northern Europe experienced a disturbance half an hour ago. At the time, unknown individuals scattered money down from the top floor of a building, causing quite a commotion. Also, it was reported that two minutes ago, Irene injured from the scene, left the building, and all the previous bodyguards in the building were shot dead."
