Lori addressing him as her cousin made fury burn in his chest, but at the thought that last night, she and her mother did indeed help cheer up his grandfather, making him livelier, Marcus suppressed his anger.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" he asked.
"Uhm, I was walking past." Lori looked at Marcus openly and smiled. "Marcus, didn't you and Uncle Oliver say yesterday that my mother and I were to move back home. So we bought some daily necessities in the mall nearby and bought some presents for Granduncle and your parents."
Lori glanced at Sabrina carelessly. She wanted Sabrina to hear her. As she spoke, she handed him the luxuriously wrapped box that she held in her hands." This is for you, Marcus."
As if on instinct, he said in disgust, "I don't want it!"
Lori:"..."
Fury flitted across her features.
Beside them, Sabrina smiled faintly. At that moment, Lori did not look cold and distant at all, merely whining and begging like a b*tch. She could not even bear to look at her.
"Marcus, I'll head up now. Have a nice talk with your cousin." Sabrina laughed.
"Ha! Why should she!" A sharp, fierce voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Marcus and Sabrina both turned and saw Yvonne. She and Ruth held each others’ hands and stood in front of Sabrina. Yvonne was looking at Lori with an extremely unfriendly gaze. "Your new cannon fodder?" Yvonne side-eyed Lori then turned to look at Sabrina; her tone could not help but sound like a sneer.
Sabrina did not speak; however, Ruth opened her mouth. She stuck a hand on her hip and laughed coldly. "Say, Sabrina, did you not tell this b*tch how many of her exes died on the beach? Selene Lynn! Mindy Mann! Autumn Poole! And the Ford family's maternal niece, and housekeeper! Any of these women held bigger titles than this b*tch here, right? Who the hell do you think you are!"
