Chapter 174 Marion chuckled briefly, setting his phone aside as he returned to reviewing his business portfolio. Marion loved making money, but he wasn't exactly a money-lover. To someone with his skills, money was merely a tool - a way to measure his worth.

He could earn it effortlessly. So, what mattered more to him was whom he was making money for and what value he brought to the table.

He chose to stick by Miranda willingly. After his release from prison, it was Miranda who took him in, entrusting him with everything she had. There was no way he'd consider jumping ship easily.

"Mira, did you see the post Arabella made today? She's such a manipulator! I can't believe so many fans and online folks are starting to sympathize with her. Are they blind or what?

And those three from the Zade family are spreading rumors about you. While most people have good sense, some are easily swayed by gossip."
