Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Amanda stated what she wanted.

The man never hesitated before agreeing to her terms. This was because he wouldn’t incur many losses anyhow.

Furthermore, she was going to pay him way more than Lindsay had ever paid him.

The most important thing was her background was much formidable than Lindsay. He wouldn’t want to make himself an enemy of her.

Considering all of his men’s safety and well-being, it was more beneficial for him to gang up with Amanda. As the saying goes, a bird will always find a good branch to stand on.

She had to change with the times.

“Then, I will leave everything to you now. I will be in your debt.” Amanda stood up.

“Naturally.” The man followed suit, “Let me send you off.”

Amanda didn’t reject him.

“How should I address you?” Amanda asked.

“Just call me Marlon.” Marlon Leonard replied.

Amanda smiled at him.

The two of them seemed to have a lively exchange, and when the other men downstairs saw Marlon coming down, they greeted him, “Marlon.”

Marlon introduced these people to Amanda, “These are my friends.”

Amanda was caught off guard when he addressed those people as friends.

Marlon smiled and said, “My brothers who follow me are my family too.”

He was someone who valued kinship very much. These people are those who would blindly follow him to the ends of the earth.

“You don’t need to see me off.” Amanda smiled.

“Got it.” Marlon stood at the door, “Safe trip, Miss Nelson.”

Amanda nodded once before marching towards her car. Casimir opened the door for her and she bent down to enter it. Casimir jogged to the driver’s side and hopped on before turning on the engine and driving away.

Marlon only shut the door when the car disappeared out of his sight.

The man with the scar came to him and asked, “I see that you seem to have a lively conversation with that girl. Does that mean we have more jobs now?”

Marlon stopped smiling altogether and said gravely, “You lot can’t do this job.”

It was something he had to do with his own hands.

He glanced at his underlings who followed him around and said, “Be honest and keep your act clean from now on. Don’t go out without any reason.”

“Don’ you worry, we are always obedient.” The man with the scar said.
