Chapter 4

That evening, my secretary picked me up and we headed straight to the venue.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as we arrived, she pointed to a figure in the distance. "That's Rachel over there!"

After all, Rachel and I had just divorced recently, and many people at the company knew Rachel.

Following my secretary's direction, sure enough, I saw Rachel.

Rachel was holding Derek's arm. They were standing at the venue entrance and happened to see me too.

When she saw me, Rachel's expression immediately darkened.

"Marcus, what are you doing!"

"Why did you follow me here!"

"I already told you clearly—I have nothing to do with you!"

Looking at Rachel, I shook my head. I was too lazy to deal with her now.

"I came here to attend the banquet. You've misunderstood!"

After saying that, I prepared to leave, but Rachel grabbed me relentlessly.

"Marcus, your failing company is about to collapse. What are you doing here?"

"Marcus, don't think I don't know—you just came here to scam people!"

"Leave now!"

Rachel pointed at me, speaking rapidly.

Looking at Rachel, I shook my head. "Whether I'm here to scam people or not really has nothing to do with you!"

After saying that, I prepared to leave, but Rachel wouldn't let it go and blocked me directly.

"Marcus, I can't let you scam people!"

"Besides, you're my ex-husband. Who knows if you scam someone, it might affect me!"

Looking at Rachel, I laughed bitterly.

I knew Rachel was just afraid I might make a comeback.

She just didn't know I'd already made my comeback.

I looked at Rachel coldly. "No matter what, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. So please stop bothering me!"

After saying that, I pulled my hand away and prepared to enter the venue.

But just as I was about to enter, Derek blocked me.

"Marcus, not just anyone can go in here!"

"You need an invitation! You don't even have an invitation. You think you can just walk in?"

He looked at me with contempt.

Looking at these two, I shook my head helplessly. I didn't expect to run into them here, or to be blocked so relentlessly.

Just then, several executives entered from outside. Seeing me, they rushed right over.

"Why are you still at the entrance? Everyone's waiting for you!"

Several executives were about to pull me inside, but Rachel and Derek panicked.

"Everyone, he's a fraud!"

Rachel quickly spoke up. "Don't let him deceive you!"

"His company's about to go bankrupt!"

Hearing Rachel's words, I could only sneer. I never imagined that after the divorce, the first person who wanted me dead would be my ex-wife.

But the executives were all stunned.

"How could his company go bankrupt? His company's about to go public!"

"What?"

As soon as they said that, Rachel froze. When she turned to look at me, anger filled her face. "Marcus, why didn't you tell me something this important?"
