Ellie sat beside Lacey, pulling her hand down. “Lacey, don’t you know what kind of person Mark is?”

Ellie said, “By making a scene like this, what will happen to Mark’s reputation?!”

Lacey said, “He actually investigated Sebastian secretly, saying Sebastian was evading taxes, and slandering Sebastian’s character in front of me!”

“So, you’re sure Mark is the one who leaked the news?!” Ellie never expected that Mark, busy as he is, would have time to investigate Sebastian. Seems like Mark really cares about Lacey.
