She was still young; she didn't want to waste her life like this.
And Clark wasn't the only rich man in the world.
Marjorie made up her mind. Today, she would shatter Clark's hypocritical facade.
"And what about your Jasmine? You two were going at it in the restroom just yesterday. Forgotten so soon?"
Her expression was calm, so calm it was as if she were talking about someone else's life.
This time, Clark was truly panicked.
Yesterday…
His eyes fixed on Marjorie, guilt-ridden, before quickly looking away.
So, she knew everything.
It was over.
He and Marjorie were completely finished.
Years of a relationship had come to an end.
Clark neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply asked Marjorie one question.
"Will you give me one last chance to make it up to you? I promise I'll never get involved with them again. We can just live our lives together, okay?"
Even though he knew she wouldn't believe him again, Clark still had to try.
"Do you take me for a fool? Let's just part on good terms. I’ve given you years of my life; I deserve something to show for it. I want a settlement—consider it back pay for the years I wasted on a man like you"
Marjorie's gaze was icy, showing no lingering attachment to their relationship.
"Compensation..." Clark started to argue, but when he met the disappointment in her eyes, he shut his mouth.
After all the time they'd been together, he was willing to give it to her.
None of his women had ever spoken ill of him behind his back.
Clark agreed on the spot. "Fine. I'll transfer five million to your account tomorrow."
In this respect, Clark prided himself on being generous, at least when it came to women.
Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a real problem.
