The corners of Marcus’ lips twitched.

Cordelia looked at him in worry. She was worried that Marcus had gotten together with those dodgy inmates from the past and resorted to some dubious tricks to force William into buying this place for her.

Even if they succeeded in coercing him for now, there would be endless troubles after this.

“But someone like my father…”

“I got a lawyer,” Marcus said nonchalantly. “I got to know him since… I was in jail. He often gives legal assistance to inmates. He is a nice guy and has helped me a lot after I’ve gotten out too.”

“Oh, I see.” Cordelia was finally relieved. “Then we should thank him properly! Why don’t we invite him home for a meal?”
