"No matter how much you want as compensation, we'll give it to you. As long as you name a price. Now, please name your price."
Mila looked at Mister and Missus Shaw with her face covered in tears. "I know. I know. I know all about that. I have already said it before, I have never wanted to replace your daughter-in-law. I'm not going to replace her. I just want to stay by Marcus ' side. I won't ask for anything in return. I won't ask to be given status as well. I simply want to take care of Master Marcus and his parents, including..."
Speaking of that, Mila looked at Ruth with a pleading gaze. "I just want to take care of Master Marcus'...parents-in-law."
Upon hearing that, Ruth's eyes were fully widened. "Vou. .you're nuts, aren't you?" "I'm not nuts."
"What do you want?" Ruth asked again.
"I don't want anything," Mila said with all her might and main.
"Bullshit." Ruth sneered.
At that moment, Marcus sneered. "Who in this world would want nothing? Everything that everyone does is for something. If someone did not want anything, how could that person survive? However, Mila, this method of yours really has no limits at all. I know that all the small-time actors in the entertainment industry more or less have to find a financial backer and someone to rely on for themselves. However, the way you use to find the person to rely on is truly very disgusting." "Master Marcus...!..." Mila did not know how she should explain herself.
"Don't worry. I have indeed spent one day at your house. This is a fact. I have indeed been seen by all those people in the hospital, and plenty of reporters and influencers have snapped photos of you and me together. This shows that you and I are bound to be involved in each other's lives. Since that is the case, I will take the responsibility that I should be taking. You just wanted to find a financial backer, didn't you? Alright. I agree. Just stay by my side from now on and make the rumors spread by those people who followed us come true. I hope that this can bring benefits to your acting career. However, you listen carefully to me. I'm doing this because I feel guilty for causing you to be severely injured by kicking you. Also, I'm grateful for you rescuing me out of the bar when I was drunk as a skunk. Otherwise, there's no telling what kind of fool I would make of myself. As for the actual situation between us, firstly, I would never ever touch you. Your relationship with me in private has to be incomparably pure and upright! Secondly, don't you even dare to dream about getting closer to me and truly becoming my lover. The Shaw family, especially me, Marcus Shaw, would never keep a lover or a mistress in this life. I am only loyal to my wife! Do you understand that?"
Marcus' words were very cold, serious, and calm.
"I...I understand it all. You're only loyal to your wife! I am nothing at all!" Mila nodded as if she was a chicken pecking on grains.
"Alright! From now on, just stay by my side. You can also tell the others that I'm your financial backer," Marcus said indifferently.
"Mmm-hmm. Thank you!" Mila was so excited that she cried while nodding.
After that, she looked at Marcus again." Master Marcus, I'm also considered to be... yours now, so can I visit your wife's parents on her behalf?”
Marcus' eyebrows immediately were tightly knitted. "Are you trying to show your dominance to them, and then kill them by pissing them off?"
Mila shook her head. "No...I won't. Believe me. I will certainly treat them and love them like they are my own parents."
Marcus sneered. "How is that possible?"
"I certainly will! Trust me!" "Alright. I will take you there. However, if they were to beat you to death, I wouldn't be taking responsibility.” Marcus' words were clearly heartless.
