Chapter 180 "When I was brought back to the Larson family that year, everyone calleda bastard." Mark paused, his beautiful eyes swirling with complex emotions. "But I knew he had deceived my mom...") That was when I realized that even Mark, who was as gentle and refined as he seemed, had his share of a miserable and prolonged past. Mark's dad, his mom's first love, had married someone else for the sake of his family, all the while keeping it a secret from her. When his mom found out, Mark was almost born.

"My mom tookfar away, but we still couldn't escape Violet's vengeance."> "She..." His voice choked up, his eyes revealing a mix of pain and deep-seated hatred that was quickly masked. His hand tightened into a fist at his side, knuckles turning white.

Hearing that, I felt a heavy sadness.} When Mark was eight, his mom must have been only in her early thirties. Yet, she paid such a painful price for misjudging someone.

Mark managed a bitter smile as he continued, "According to Violet's plan, I was supposed to die, too, but since Violet couldn't have children of her own, Gladys wouldn't let her lay a finger on me.") At that moment, I truly understood that human lives were cheap in the eyes of the wealthy. It was all about benefits and schemes.

I said, "And Kathy..." "Violet adopted Kathy before she broughtback to the Larson family." Mark's voice carried a hint of irony, "Violet went to an orphanage and picked the child who looked most like Neil." Neil was his father. Violet was the middle-aged woman who had been hitting him earlier in the chapel.} "No wonder... you don't want anything to do with the Larson family." I fell silent and then curiously asked, "Kathy mentioned that you took care of Lloyd yesterday?" "I intended to rescue you." There was a touch of melancholy and helpless amusement in his eyes. "I was too late. But when I arrived, I ran into your uncle coming out. He mentioned Lloyd had been bullying you." He probably meant to say Lloyd had stepped on my face with his shoes. But to spare my feelings, he didn't say it outright.

I bit my lip, "So you hit him?"D "Yeah." Mark nodded, touching his nose. "After I got the full story, I also gave your uncle a piece of my mind." My eyes lit up. "Really?" Seeing my approval, he smiled. "Happy to hear he got what was coming to him?"> "Yeah, very much." I nodded without hesitation.} Allen had it coming.

Then, I looked at him again, a bit worried. "But next time, please don't be so impulsive."} More often than not, people like us were better off playing it safe. We didn't have the luxury to act impulsively.

He chuckled. "Impulsive?" I nodded. "Yeah, impulsive."

"Don't worry," He seemed utterly confident, looking like he had m everything under control. "That woman won't dare to lay a hand onagain." 'That woman' naturally referred to Violet.

"Look at all the injuries you've got. Isn't that trouble enough?" I sighed, pointing at his back. "And now you've stirred up this engagement mess. Do you think you can handle the consequences?*% A spark lit up in Mark's eyes, his voice clear and melodious, "You don't wantto get engaged?"

"Yeah, that's right." I smiled, nodding, "You have someone ole you like dight? I ope you can achieve your heart's desire and live the life you want."B

Arranged marriage was like putting a living person inside a lifeless shelt Inside were benefits, money, social connections, and obligations, but no affection. He looked straight at me. "Do you think I can achieve my heart's desire?"
