Female Novel
Chapter 2082
On the other side of the manor.
Mr. Valentin informed Marcos of the news about Matysh asking someone to investigate Luca.
Marcos' eyes darkened. Matysh did not listen to his advice.
Mr. Valentin realized Marcos was keeping silent and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Marcos, should we stopMaster Matysh?"
"Who would be able to stop him?" Marcos' tone was filled with disgust. Other than the elders in thefamily, no one could stop Matysh.
However, no one in the family would care about Matysh's ridiculous behavior. After all, they were proudand stubborn, thinking that they were still living in an era where having a strong and wealthy familybackground meant they could dominate everything. Even if what Matysh did was wrong, they would lethim do whatever he wanted because of his status.
Marcos had no right to speak no matter how much money he had earned for this family.
It became clear to Marcos that he was little more than a money-making machine for this family. Thereason was simple. Matysh could not bring more benefits and interests to their family. That was whyMarcos was assigned to replace him and take over the business.
He was merely a tool to them, not a true successor.
Hence, Marcos could not stop him even after he reminded Matysh. Matysh did not take him seriouslyeither.
None of the others would be able to stop him.novelbin
"Master Matysh will get into trouble one day if he keeps doing this." Mr. Valentin let out a sigh. Heunderstood that if Matysh offended M Group's partners, the losses would be significant.
However, the people in this family would only look at the outcome instead of the reasons.
When the time came, Matysh would not have to bear any responsibilities. The unlucky one would bethe man in front of him as he was carrying the weight of the family business on his shoulder. Marcoswould have to take up the responsibilities.
"You may leave first." A hint of brutality flashed across Marcos' eyes.
Even though his family had given him enough authority to manage the company, there were not manythings that were under his control.
If he turned against Matysh now, he would not be able to hold onto the slightest bit of authority that wasgiven to him. He could not be bothered to have the entire M Group for himself. After all, he knew hiscapabilities. He could survive no matter where he went.
However, he could not lose M Group now.
He would not be able to look for his mother, who was abandoned by his family, if he lost his authoritynow.
“Yes, Mr. Marcos." Mr. Valentin did not disturb him any longer. He turned around and left the study.
Once the door was closed, Marcos called his assistant and said, "Find out when Luke and his team areleaving Russia."
"Boss, can't we just ask him?" The assistant confirmed with him. After all, he did not need to find outabout it if he just asked Luke himself.
"No," said Marcos.
"Alright, Boss. I'm on it." Marcos hung up the call after the assistant said so.
Marcos stood up with a cigarette between his fingers that was left unlit. He glanced at the sceneryoutside the window. Then, he pulled the curtains and took a document out of a safe.
It was the document Luke had given to him. The latter part of the document was information about hisfamily, while the first part was about his mother's whereabouts.
He had always thought that his mother was pushed to a dead end by his family and she ended her life.
However, he did not expect Luke to have some information about his mother.
His mother was probably still alive...
Marcos looked at the photo on the document. His mother and father had always been in love with eachother, but his family refused to accept his mother because of her humble upbringing.
His mother was only able to join their family because of his father.
However, their good life came to an end after his father died of illness. His mother was kicked out of thefamily, and Marcos was forced not to see his mother.
The last news Marcos got about his mother was that she could no longer stand living a hard life, so shewas choosing to end her life.
Marcos was pretty sure that the news about his mother committing suicide back then was fake when henow looked at the woman who had aged a lot in the photo.
Luke did not have to lie to him by giving him fake news.
It was nighttime when Marcos received a call from his assistant. "Boss, I've received news that Mr.Crawford and the others are at the airport. They're preparing to board the plane and travel back."
"Okay. I got it." Marcos hung up the call.
It seemed like Luke was a smart man.
He knew Matysh would not give up the thought of sleeping with Luca easily. That was why Luke wouldnot remain in Russia. After all, this place was not within his power and influence. Luke's woman wouldbe safe if they went back.
This way, he would not have to take a lot of effort to protect Luke's woman. It could save his efforts too.At the same time, Marcos could tell that Luke not only understood him well but he also knew everyonewho played an important role in his family.
“I enjoy working with smart people," said Marcos in a low voice.
There was a knock on the door, and Mr. Valentin's voice came from the other side of the door. "Mr.Marcos, dinner is ready."
"Okay." Marcos picked up his phone and walked out of the studies.
"Mr. Marcos, Mr. Matysh and Old Master Abaza will be having dinner together with you tonight," Mr.Valentin reminded.
There were many family members in the family, but they normally had their own plans. Old MasterAbaza, Marcos' grandpa, would usually attend business dinners. They seldom ate dinner together as afamily.
Tonight, Old Master Abaza and Matysh would be having dinner together...
"Got it," Marcos responded.
He came to the dining room. Old Master Abaza and Matysh were already sitting at the dining table.
"Good evening, Grandpa. Good evening, Uncle." Marcos gave them a warm smile and greeted them.After reading the document Luke had given him, he found out that Old Master Abaza had something todo with his mother's disappearance. However, he could not show it on his face now. He was polite tothem as usual.
"Didn't you go to the office today?" Old Master Abaza glanced at Marcos and said in an icy tone.
Old Master Abaza was not really fond of this grandson of his because of his mother's humbleupbringing.
However, Matysh had failed to live up to his expectations. If it were not for the family's interests, hewould not have agreed to let Matysh stay in the family or for Marcos to run the company.
"There's nothing important to do in the office today." Marcos sat down.
"You can't slack off either. I didn't leave such a big company for you to enjoy your life." The old masterlooked at Marcos' face which resembled his mother's appearance. He could not help but make a fuss.
The biggest failure in his life was to raise Marcos' father.
Marcos' father fell in love with a commoner and ruined their family's bloodline, humiliating their family.
"Alright, Grandpa," Marcos replied submissively without refuting.
"Work hard." The old master stopped lecturing him when he saw the maids serving the dishes. "Let'seat."
Marcos picked up his knife and fork. He slowly started eating his dinner.
Matysh, who was sitting beside him, seemed to have other things on his mind. He picked up the tableknife with one of his hands while he swiped his phone screen with the other hand.
"Whose message are you waiting for?" the old master asked when he noticed what Matysh was doing.
Matysh replied vaguely, "No one."
"Then why are you looking at your phone? What happened?" Although his son had failed to live up tohis expectations, the old master thought all those ridiculous things that Matysh did were nothingcompared to Marcos' father's act of marrying a commoner. That was why he was lenient with Matysh.
