Chapter 85
Marc laughed even though he was hit. T’m not a good person to begin with”
Was not being a good person something to be proud of?
Pearl glared at Mare again. However, her misty eyes were filled with passion, and she did not look scary at all
Marc looked at her flushed face. There was a hint of coquettishness in her embarrassment and anger, as well as a hint of innocence. Marc looked at her intently and felt that she was extremely cute. He wished he could hold her face and kiss her again.
past as he raised his hand to touch her face, Pearl turned her head away and walked away from the bed.
Mare looked at his empty hand and felt inexplicably disappointed.
Pearl left the area around him and gradually calmed down. She then said indifferently. “You forced a kiss on me and I slapped you. We’re even
She spoke so seriously that Marc could not help but chackle. He leaned against the headboard gently.
This is a good deal. Why don’t I kiss you again? My face is already covered in bruises anyway. Another slap from you wouldn’t hurt.”
Pearl was stunned and did not know how to react.
She was embarrassed and angry, but looking at his bruised and swollen face, she felt a little guilty.
She stood up straight and said to him solemnly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Males. The person who attacked you tonight was a friend of mine. He attacked you purely to help me vent my anger. I didn’t know about it beforehand. If you want to pursue the matter, feel free to come to me. Can we settle in privately
“Your friend” Marc’s eyes turned cold. It was Quentin, right?”
Pearl knew that Mare knew. Since he pointed it out, she admitted it directly. “Yes”
Marc said, “We can settle this privately, but you have to tell me, what’s your relationship with Quentin!”
Yesterday, he had started investigating Quentin. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find out the relationship between Quentin and Pearl. Their lives didn’t seem to intersect at all. Lucas knew the Quarks family well, but even Lucas didn’t know what kind of relationship the Quarks Family had with the Woolery family.
“I call him my b
brother, Pearl said. Tm afraid I can’t reveal anything more than that”
Marc frowned slightly
He actually wanted to know more. Not only about Quentin, but also Flubert. What kind of relationship did these men have with her? However, she didn’t want to reveal too much to him. To put it bluntly, she still didn’t trust him enough
However, he did not want to force her to tell him. After all, everyone had their secrets. Not everything could be shared with others.
“I can let him off the hook” Marc looked at Pearl. “But this is entirely because of you. So, you have to promise me one thing.”
Pearl looked at this man quietly. Although he was young, he had been in the business world for many years and had long become as cunning as a for. He was smart. He might even be plotting against her right now, so she naturally would not agree to his terms easily.
After pondering for a moment. Pearl said, “As long as it’s not remarrying you or reconciling with you, I agree to any other conditions” Marc’s eyes darkened
He knew that even if he raised these conditions, she would not agree to them.
However, just how much did she not like the idea of remarrying him and reconciling with him? Marc’s ego Lips together into a line.

He knew his limits
When Pearl heard him say that, she became more patient. Then what do you want me to do?”

Chapter 85
“I want you to believe me for once.”
Mare looked at her firmly. Under Pearl’s slightly surprised gaze, he said solemnly, “I didn’t get together with any woman behind your back. Last night, I was drinking at the bar at Beverland Hotel. Donna came over to hit on me. I drank a little too much at that time and almost mistook her for you. When I woke up, I felt sorry and told the bartender to charge all her bills to Room 77. I didn’t expect her to come looking for me later with the wine. I said that I had no interest in getting to know her and dating her, so I asked her to leave. I didn’t say anything else to her other than tat. Last night, Lucas was also in Room 77. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him or check the surveillance footage of the hotel‘
Pearl was in a daze. It took her a long time to realize what Marc was talking about.
“Is that what you want me to agree to? Trust you?
Mare nodded seriously. “I know that your trust in me is almost zero now. Although I’m not a good person or a good man, I can promise you that I’ve never lied to you, whether it’s in the past or now. I won’t lie to you in the future either.”
Pearl looked him in the eye, her eyes glistening uncontrollably
Since she had promised to agree to his conditions, she was already prepared to be put in a difficult position by him. However, she did not expect him to only hope that she could trust him. She did not expect him to explain what happened last night to her again too.
However, he was right. Although he was not a good man, he had never lied to her.
This included him not loving her and having another woman in his heart. Even when he was having a secret relationship with Carissa while being married to her, he told her openly and clearly. He was not afraid that she would be sad or heartbroken because he did not care about her feelings at
all.
Actually, he did not understand at all. From the beginning to the end, what she cared about was not whether he had lied to her, but whether he had loved her.
Pearl felt her heartache, but she did not want to be vulnerable in front of this man,
She asked calmly, “Do you know why she went to look for you with the wine?”
Mare shook his head.
“Because you gave her your room number. Casual or not, as far as women are concerned, you’re dropping hints.”
Pearl looked at Marc, who was frowning and looked puzzled. She said helplessly, “Let’s put it this way. If the paparazzi took photos of Donna knocking on your door in the middle of the night and you opened the door, do you think outsiders will believe your excuse once the news is reported?”
Marc raised his eyebrows. “I don’t care what outsiders think.
He only cared if she believed him or not.
“I know you don’t care, but rumors are scary. Besides, you’re not an ordinary person. You’re the CEO

calm. “As a business partner, I have faith in your character, but at the same time. I hope you can be more cautious and don’t let anyone have dirt on you, Mr. Males
She said that she believed him, but it was still as a business partner, not as his ex–wife.
Marc pursed his lips tightly and said. “I have another condition
