Chapter238
Then everyone else stood up one after another, except for Marlon, Katrina, and Antwan. The three of them just sat there, all staring at Iris with the same look, not moving at all, their expressions exactly the
same.
Consistent shock, couldn’t believe it.
“You… you were that… that abandoned wife of the Hale family, what was your name again?”
Marlon stared wide–eyed, pointed at Iris, frowned and thought hard, but just couldn’t remember Iris’s name.
Zayden’s face turned dark right away and he moved forward to teach Marlon a lesson, but Iris stopped him.
Iris glanced at him and gave him a reassuring smile.
Then she looked at Marlon. While everyone was shocked and confused, her eyes were sharp but she smiled a little and said, “Iris.”
“Yeah, yeah, Iris, you were the abandoned wife of the Hale family, the ex-wife Heriberto didn’t want, Iris.”
Marlon sat in the chair without moving, looked at Iris and let out a cold laugh, “You’re a discarded woman from the Hale family, what are you doing here? Don’t you know what kind of place this is?”
Everyone looked closely at Iris, and some people slowly realize he really was Heriberto’s ex–wife, Iris.
After all, a lot of people had seen that “self–blame” video Iris posted
back then.
“Marlon, I think you were blind as a dog and ate too much shit.”
Zayden finally couldn’t hold it in. He clenched his back teeth, and his cold voice came out word by word from deep in his throat.
Marlon heard the noise, then looked over at Zayden.
Zayden looked pretty scary at that moment, and he couldn’t help but shiver all over.
Forcing himself to calm down, he asked with a fake smile, “Mr. Knighton, we’re having a board meeting, so what did you mean by bringing a cast–off woman from the Hale family here?”
“Well, Mr. Knighton, did you think the board of Powell Pharmaceuticals was like you taking your little girlfriend shopping?”
Katrina never expected that after Iris got dumped by Heriberto, she would hook up with the even tougher Zayden. She felt both upset and annoyed, and started going crazy and biting people along with her dad.
“You are Marlon, what about you?” At this moment, Merlin spoke. His voice was calm and flat, but it carried an awe–inspiring authority and
pressure.
He glanced at Marlon, then looked over at Katrina and asked.
That kind of aura from someone who’s been in power for a long time, it just goes without saying.
“Who were you?“,
None of the people there had ever seen Merlin’s real face.
Marlon hadn’t seen it either.
