Chapter 207 Bitter edge

Renee nodded firmly.

Without hesitation, Marcelo escorted her out.

He wasn’t concerned about Jessica. She was merely a tool for Paul’s manipulation, and Paul would ensure her safety if he didn’t want to piss Marcelo off even more.

From a distance, Vivian watched Marcelo and Renee leave hand in hand.

Such a simple gesture, yet it spoke volumes of their bond pure, caring, and free from pretense.

Vivian felt a pang of sadness, but her energy for jealousy had waned.

Marcelo’s directive for her to leave Harvillston signified his decision was final. Any plea from her now would only taint their shared history.

She weighed her options and concluded it wasn’t worth the compromise.

Marcelo was right; with her qualifications, securing a respectable job elsewhere in the country was feasible.

Yet, to overshadow her fallout with Light, she needed a high–ranking position in a prestigious company.

Then Paul appeared in front of her. He offered, “The King family owns a jewelry business. You could join us.”

Vivian’s initial reaction was to reject the offer.

Working for a King enterprise implied aligning with Paul, didn’t it?

“Don’t dismiss the idea so hastily,” Paul said evenly. “Being part of the King family opens doors for you, including chances to be near Marcelo. Remember, Marcelo will inherit a portion of the King family’s

wealth in the future.”

Paul’s plan was clear: he wanted a loyal ally close to Marcelo, and Vivian fit the bill perfectly.

Meanwhile, a Maybach rushed from the hospital to the airport.

A last–minute flight to Hagua meant no private jet. Renee and Marcelo had to settle for a commercial

flight.

Marcelo had arranged for a swift passage through the airport’s VIP channel to catch the final flight to
