Chapter 32 " I'm a married man , so who else could've bitten my lip ? " Curtis retorted lightly . A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes , but his expression remained dark and brooding . The surrounding executives exchanged glances with each other , not understanding where this sudden tension was coming from . Showing no change in expression , Zachary simply nodded slightly . " Marcy hasn't been in a good mood lately . She mentioned divorce in a moment of anger . If there's been some kind of misunderstanding between you two , you really should talk it out . Don't let the family worry . " A sharp , mocking smirk tugged at the corner of Curtis ' lips . He had no interest in continuing the charade with someone so insincere . You said it yourself that it was just something she said in anger . She's my wife , so I'll take care of her . There's no need for you to worry . With that , he turned and walked straight into his office . Zachary remained standing for a moment before stepping into the elevator . Inside , he gently discussed the current proposal with the executives behind him , as if the confrontation just now had been an illusion . Everyone felt as if the pressure hanging over their heads had finally lifted . Several senior executives had been with Zachary since the early days , but ever since Curtis joined the company , he had been building his own team as well . In terms of supporters or the major projects they controlled , both sides were currently evenly matched . But Curtis had the edge . After all , he had his own company . future What made people envious was that Curtis ' own company had already grown to nearly the same scale as Wolfe Group , and its looked even more promising . Some media outlets claimed that , given another two years , his company's market value would surpass that of Wolfe Group The Wolfe family was a well - established lineage , with a legacy stretching back 50 years . Among all the new - generation elites in Imperialis , the only one who had managed to catch up to these legacy families in such a short time was Curtis . There was a reason the Wolfe family hadn't handed Wolfe Group over to Zachary - Curtis ' business acumen was simply extraordinary . After sitting down in his office , Curtis leaned his head back and touched his lip . Marceline really hadn't held back with that bite . He picked up the coffee on his desk and took a sip . Just then , Ken walked in . " Mr . Wolfe , the tech department has already inspected the laptop . Given how quickly computers have advanced over the years , the hardware in a nine - year - old model is well past its prime . At this point , it's no longer repairable . " Curtis suddenly felt a sharp ache in his stomach . He raised a hand to rub it , this lashes lowering as the light in his eyes dimmed . " Got it . Just buy her a new one . So , Ken immediately arranged for the latest model laptop and specifically chose the same color - pink That was the color Curtis had chosen originally , as he thought it'd suited Marceline . At noon , Marceline met with Selene at a caté . Selene was currently ently a small - time singing streamer with over a million followers online . She'd earn about 100 thousand dollars a month , which was enough to support herself However , since Lauren had already married Ramsey , and with the Lovell family being a prominent name , having an illegitimate daughter out there livestreaming herself singing would be a complete embarrassment it it ever came to light . Thus , even her own mother looked down on her . But Selene genuinely loved singing . If it weren't for that , she wouldn't have met Marceline back then , and the two wouldn't have become such close friends . Now , Selene had bought a roughly 2,100 - square - feet apartment in the city with her own earnings . All in all , she had managed to carve out a comfortable life for herself .
