Chapter 208: Chloe is out for blood? (3-past)

Mark didn't think his father would have any problem taking care of this, as a word from him was enough to settle everything, which made him even angrier as he was lecturing his own family for something so little.

His father had told him that he was a handsome young man, and if he used his status and charm, he didn't think most of the girls would reject him. He told him to keep himself under control and not be too violent with others, as that would hurt them and bring more complications for him.

His father told him that he had gone too far this time, as killing people using the power he had given him to protect himself in times of need was something that had disappointed him. He told him to change his nature; otherwise, it wouldn't be a lie to say that he would kick him out of the house sooner or later.

Calling Mark pissed would be an understatement at that time, as he was fuming, and the words from his father saying he was disappointed in him made him feel quite the opposite, as he felt disappointed by how his father was lecturing him over some peasants.

Why would he go to so much trouble and try so hard for something he could get by using a few words? He was not going to embarrass himself at that time.

He still remembered the time when he faced humiliation that had made him obsessed with Ling Xue. He had fallen in love with her at first sight. To get her on their first meeting, he had invited her to his house for tea and specifically mentioned that he would like it if she stayed for a sleepover.

He didn't have any intention of forcing himself on her, given how they were equals in his eyes, but he only wanted to develop a friendship with her and potentially have a relationship with her. He didn't hold back when showing his attraction toward her, thinking that they were a perfect match.

Even before this incident, which happened to him at the age of 15, he had spent time with other girls in tier-2 cities. However, he was not violent, although he used his power to get them, as rejection from them was humiliation. As someone he didn't see as equal, they didn't have any right to reject him.

However, to his proposal, she didn't show any reaction on her face. Yet her eyes clearly showed her dissatisfaction and disgust toward him, which he didn't notice. As expected, she rejected him with a polite "no" and a straight face.

The rejection struck a blow to his ego. He had thought they were a perfect match. He had hoped to even marry her in the future, seeing her as an equal. He tried not to show any reaction to her rejection to avoid embarrassing himself further, but the crazy look on his face was enough to give everything away to Ling Xue, which didn't come as a surprise.

She had already researched the child of this big family, who were good friends with her father's company. She had found out about his regular visits to tier-2 cities, which was enough to make her have many speculations about him. However, now witnessing how openly he was showing his lust toward her, she was sure he wouldn't be up to any good there.

She didn't mind a powerful person like her father having been with countless women or the father of the child in front of her, who was known for his deeds of being with countless young celebrities.

However, a mediocre person like him, who had no achievements to speak of and who hadn't shown any excellent talent in any particular thing—a slightly above-average man with a handsome appearance who was lustful—made her think differently. She could already imagine that his little brother, who was much smarter, more composed, and refined, was the likely heir to the family. After greeting and exchanging some pleasantries, he was gone, saying he had things to do.

Compared to him, the difference was quite wide. After their first meeting, she knew his brother would likely inherit the family, and she even liked how he had acted. She was pleased by the way he had behaved and compared him to her own elder brother. While her brother was not as impressive as him, she thought he was a fine man whom she could easily control.

She hadn't found any dirt on Mark to use against him, as she had thought the eldest would have more power. Even Mr. James Ford had shown a clear difference in tone when talking to them, which made her even surer of his incompetence or hidden deeds she didn't know.

However, accepting the proposal of a child who was clearly after her without having much value disgusted her.

If she knew about the deeds he was doing in tier-2 cities, her response would have been even more intense. She wouldn't have hidden her disgust toward him. While she liked powerful and intelligent men, someone with such a shallow and twisted mind, who forced himself on others using his power, would have brought her disgust for him to the highest degree.

Even she, who liked power, had some lines she wouldn't cross.

However, unfortunately for her, finding things about someone as rich and influential as him was not easy. Knowing where he was moving was already quite a big feat for her.

She couldn't just send someone after him to keep an eye on him, as it would create many problems for her and her family. While she knew her father would resolve it easily, saying she was a child, she didn't want to lower her image in front of both her father and his associates.

Seeing the ugly yet crazy expression on his face, she was even more sure she had made the right decision. Someone who couldn't even control his emotions when taking a small rejection was not someone worth her time, considering his lustful nature.

While using him would have been easy for her, seeing the lust in his eyes, she knew he would demand things from her, which would only disgust her. Seeing no benefit in associating with him and feeling no inclination toward him, she simply walked away, as looking at his expression was making her sick.
