Chapter 0547

“Marcus? Are you awake?” Frederick asked as he walked into the room.

“Yes! Do you have the information I asked for?” Marcus replied, sitting up in bed.

“I do… but after going through everything again, I think someone else should be here,” Frederick said cautiously.

“Who?”

“Maximus Palmer. He’s the head of the Palmer family. Although Leonardo is still around, to be honest, I don’t know how he’d handle what I’m about to show you.”

“Is it necessary?”

“Only if you don’t want to carry the heavy burden of truth all by yourself.”

“Frederick, I’m not in the mood for games. Is it necessary for him to be here?”

“Yes.”

Frederick’s response was short but firm. He knew he had let Marcus down in the same way Peter had. He’d taken a quick look at the information in the briefcase, of which there were two copies, thinking Marcus would be the one to review it first. The original plan had been to avenge their friend, but things had spiraled to the point they found themselves at now. Peter already bore the weight of that truth. If he had left the information to be found, it was because he was prepared to carry the crushing reality it revealed.
