Chapter: 1070

Marlin was getting ready to depart. Hearing this, he stood there, speechless by Jarrod's brazenness. What a presumptuous man he was.

"Mr. Newman, I understand everyone at Globe Group is busy," Marlin said to him. "I recommend you return immediately. There must be much to be done."

Jarrod couldn't believe his ears.

He turned sharply and glared at Marlin. He was irritated and almost certain Marlin had said that intentionally. Marlin rarely spoke and avoided interactions with others. But today was an exception.

Norah insisted on being alone, politely dismissing Jarrod.

"Mr. Newman, please take care of your own matters. I'm fine on my own."

Her words clearly conveyed her desire for solitude. Embarrassed and sensing his cue to exit, Jarrod rose to his feet.

“Alright. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be there if you need help."

As he departed the room, Marlin, who had been lingering near the doorway, made his move to enter.

Jarrod caught him by the arm, his tone laden with suspicion. "Mr. Boyd, what brings you back here to bother Miss Wilson again? What's your intention?"

It was evident to Jarrod that Marlin's motives were not pure.

Despite having a girlfriend, why was Marlin engaging in such ambiguous behavior?

Shrugging off Jarrod's grasp, Marlin replied curtly, “I need to speak with her. It won't take long. Please, don't mind me."

Jarrod clenched his teeth in frustration. He had hoped for a rare moment of connection with Norah, yet it slipped through his fingers.

Was he doomed to drown in his work forever? He then shook his mind in frustration.

Norah, taken aback by Marlin's return, looked at him with a mix of surprise and inquiry. "Is there something else you needed?"

Yolande had mentioned it to her previously. Marlin seemed to have no recollection of his kidnapping. She knew it wasn't a pleasant memory, so she chose not to bring it up around him.

“Miss Wilson, I must apologize once again for my behavior at the charity event. Dolores and I have parted ways."

“I accept your apology. Anything else?"

His visit, just to offer an apology and to announce his breakup, seemed odd to Norah.

Marlin was momentarily taken aback by Norah's frosty demeanor. She hadn't treated him like this before.

“I... I suffered a head injury, which blurred some of my memories, leading me to mistake someone else for you. But in truth, you were the one I've been searching for."

His earnest gaze met hers. "Miss Wilson, you're the person I owe the biggest thanks to. I hope this misunderstanding hasn't sown any animosity between us."

"It doesn't matter," Norah replied, lifting her gaze to meet his. "We aren't close enough for you to worry about that.”
