Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 73 - Marcus Summers

Suddenly enlightened, Grace excitedly proposed, “Big brother, why don’t we have father ask the Shaw Family for help?

Father has wider connections than us, he will definitely be able to speak with the Shaw Family!”

“I have already consulted father before coming here.

He said he’s powerless in this situation,” Evan sighed helplessly.

If the complaint was made by anyone else, perhaps there might have been a chance.

But it was the Shaw Family.

Despite the Summers Family and Shaw Family being nominally in-laws, both families knew the true nature of this marriage.

Moreover, Lucas Shaw’s prioritizing of Serena went beyond anyone’s imagination.

“What should we do?

Big brother, can you really bear to watch me fall into disgrace?” Grace’s grievance was immense, her tears streaming down.

If her earlier expressions held a hint of pretense, now she was genuinely crying.

“Don’t worry, Grace.

I will call our oldest brother in a bit.”

Marcus Summers, this year twenty-seven, with a cold demeanor, a young achiever and currently the CEO of a listed company.

However, his cold nature prevailed, and he had moved out years ago, not particularly close with the family.

Grace’s eyes brightened, “Right, my oldest brother adores me so much, he’ll definitely help!”

Nineteen years ago, when Serena disappeared, Marcus was only six but old enough to remember.

Since then, Marcus’s personality became increasingly gloomy, he even almost suffered depression.

After Grace was brought into the Summers Family, Marcus transferred all his affection for his sister onto her.

Even after Serena was found later, Marcus’s pampering of Grace never diminished.

Black Ink Corporation.

After finishing a meeting, Marcus left the conference room and heard his phone vibrating in his pocket.

He frowned, pulling out the phone.

His gaze paused momentarily upon seeing the name on the screen.

Grace.

He had been occupied with company matters recently and hadn’t been home in a long time.

The last conversation with Grace was half a month ago.

Hastily, he pressed the answer button, his dark eyes softening.

If any subordinate were here, they would see Marcus’s demeanor shift drastically from the cold indifference in the conference room.

“Hello, Grace?”

“Big brother, sob sob sob…”

Grace’s plaintive sobs came through the phone, and in an instant, Marcus’s expression sharpened.

“Grace, what happened?

Did Serena bully you again?”

Grace’s sobbing faintly paused for a second, then she choppily recounted the recent events.

In Grace’s narration, she portrayed herself as a total victim.

And Serena’s actions were described as acts of vengeance against the Summers Family.

Marcus’s expression grew darker, his face seemingly about to drip ink.

“Don’t worry, Grace, let me think of a solution.

Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer unjustly.”

After hanging up, Marcus was plunged into silence.

The Summers Family had three sons in succession, with Mr.

and Mrs.

Summers always hoping for a daughter.

Serena was born amidst everyone’s expectations.

Knowing he had a sister delighted Marcus profoundly.

He wished he could stay by his sister’s bedside every day.

He wouldn’t even leave to eat or sleep.

He feared that she might disappear if he wasn’t careful,

But nobody expected that a year later, Serena Summers truly vanished.

At that time, Marcus Summers searched for Serena everywhere like a madman.

But he was still a child then, and even the police couldn’t find her, so how could he possibly succeed?

Day after day, Marcus Summers gradually began to despair.

At that time, his father brought back a little girl from the orphanage who was about the same age as Serena, with a somewhat similar appearance.

After that, Marcus transferred all his love to Grace Summers.

And Serena…

Perhaps due to a lack of upbringing from a young age, her behavior was crude and her personality was spoiled and domineering.

That would have been bearable, but she constantly made life difficult and bullied Grace.

The joy of finding his sister gradually turned into aversion.

Marcus often couldn’t help thinking how great it would be if Grace really was his biological sister.

Marcus stood in the corridor, his expression somewhat sinister.

At that moment, his assistant came out of the meeting room with some documents.

He carefully looked at Marcus, saying, “President, the documents and files you requested have been organized.”

“Put them on my desk,” Marcus said, his tone icy and his expression dark and unclear.

The assistant nodded, turned, and was about to leave.

But he had only taken a few steps when he was stopped.

“Wait.”

“President, is there anything else you need?” the assistant asked, puzzled, looking at Michael Summers.

Marcus tightened his lips, then slowly said, “Please contact Mr.

Lucas Shaw for me, tell him I’d like to discuss something.”

“About Serena.” He paused, adding that.

The assistant respectfully nodded and immediately left.

Soon after, Lucas Shaw received a call from Brandon Reese.

“Mr.

Shaw, Marcus Summers from the Summers Family would like to meet with you.”

Lucas Shaw stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his study, looking out at the brightly lit skyscrapers.

He was tall and imposing, with an aura of chilling strength that made others keep their distance.

Upon hearing Marcus’s name, Lucas Shaw’s brow furrowed, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.

“Don’t meet.”

Serena had already severed ties with the Summers Family.

Unless it was business-related, there was no need to meet them.

Brandon hesitated for a moment, “Sir, the other party mentioned it’s regarding your wife.”

“What is it about?”

Lucas Shaw turned slowly, his dark cold eyes twinkling with a chilling glint.

Brandon shook his head, “No details.

But I guess it might have something to do with the recent water splashing incident.”

“Hah, previously using Serena to gain business advantages, now they want to use our familial connections to plead for Grace.

The Summers Family…

They really know how to play the game,” Lucas Shaw remarked sarcastically, tugging at the corner of his lips.

“Shall I call it off?”

Brandon wasn’t sure of his boss’s intentions and asked cautiously.

“No need.

I am actually curious to see what Marcus is up to.”

After Brandon left, Lucas Shaw’s expression darkened, his eyes seeming to freeze over with an impassable layer of ice, and his aura became even more intense.

A servant carrying a water glass came in from outside and suddenly felt a drop in the air pressure.

Upon noticing the chilling figure by the window, a cold shiver ran down his spine.

“Mr.

Shaw, your coffee.”
