A little whileter, the lovely female manager reentered the Diamond Room, followed closely by a timid young man who kept his gaze fixed downward, as if afraid to look up.


    Jacob and the other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association exchanged puzzled nces. They couldn’t help but specte why Don Albert had chosen this young man to present to them.


    Truth be told, there was nothing remarkable about the young man at all!


    Upon stepping into the Diamond Room, he immediately bowed to Don Albert without uttering a word. After a brief moment, he spoke in a quiet and respectful tone, “Uncle Don Albert, I’vee to report to you. Please inspect my scar.”


    This young man was none other than Marcus Lloyd.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    On that fateful day at Champs Elys Spa Resort, after Don Albert had carved the words “pathetic jerk” into Marcus’s forehead, he had ordered Marcus toe to Heaven Springs weekly for personal inspections of his scar. This was to ensure that Marcus didn’t attempt any scar removal or cosmetic procedures to hide it.


    However, what Don Albert didn’t realize was that Marcus’s visit today served a dual purpose: while he was indeed there to report, he also had ulterior motives, aiming to make a name for himself.


    As soon as he entered Heaven Springs, Marcus had been discreetly counting the number of security guards present in the building.


    Once inside the Diamond Room, he surveyed the individuals present. Seeing that the room was filled predominantly with older men, Marcus felt a wave of relief wash over him.


    Even if these men were associates of Don Albert, he was confident they posed no threat. He believed he could take them down easily if needed.


    At that moment, Don Albert addressed Marcus, saying, “Marcus, these gentlemen are the leaders of the Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association. Given their expertise in calligraphy, it would be fitting for them to view the inscription on your forehead. Lift your head so Mr. Wilson and his guests can see andment on it!”


    Marcus felt a rush of humiliation at Don Albert’s words!


    He desperately wanted to turn and flee, but he knew his father was waiting for him to report back before he could send his men to deal with Don Albert.<fnd5b6> Get full chapters from FιndNovel</fnd5b6>


    Thus, Marcus steeled himself and prepared to maintain his facade in front of Don Albert.


    With gritted teeth, he slowly raised his head, allowing everyone in the room to see the inscription on his forehead.


    Despite many of the older men having presbyopia, the words “pathetic jerk” carved into Marcus’s skin were so bold and prominent that they were unmistakable to all!


    Mr. Price couldn’t help but exim in disbelief, “What… what is happening? Young man, why would you choose to engrave ‘pathetic jerk’ on your forehead?”


    Don Albert chuckled derisively, replying, “This young man has quite the foul mouth. He’s taken to calling everyone around him pathetic jerks. He even had the audacity to insult Master Wade by calling him that! So, I thought it fitting to teach him a lesson. Since he seems fond of those words, I decided to make sure they apany him for life.”


    At this point, Jacob asked, astonished, “Are you telling me that he has those words on his forehead because he offended my son-inw?”


    “Indeed!” Don Albert confirmed with a nod. “Your son-inw is the esteemed Master Wade! I could never allow anyone to insult him.”


    Mr. Price looked at Jacob with surprise, saying, “Jacob! Why didn’t you mention that you have such a powerful son-inw?”


    “Exactly!” David chimed in, adding, “Jacob, you’ve been keeping a lot from us! You’re quite the low-key person!”


    With augh, Jacob replied, “My son-inw is also quite modest. It’s only fitting that I remain understated too!”


    Everyone in the room felt a sense of admiration and respect at this revtion.


    Meanwhile, Marcus cast a smug nce at Jacob, thinking maliciously, ‘So, you’re the father-inw of that scoundrel Charlie!’


    ‘Looks like I’ve hit the jackpot today!’


    ‘I’m going to take revenge today!’


    ‘Consider it interest on the debt I owe your insufferable son-inw!’
