Chapter 531: Chapter 531

Marcus Walsh opened the car door and said, "Let’s get in the car first before we talk."

Rebecca Lowell got in the car suspiciously.

Marcus returned to the driver’s seat and then shut the door.

Now there were only Marcus and Rebecca left in the car, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet, a bit oppressive and awkward.

Marcus had already organized his thoughts, but now, when it came to telling Rebecca about the identity issue, he still felt a bit nervous.

Rebecca, noticing Marcus’s uneasy appearance, said, "President Lancaster, were you at Zenith’s entrance just now? Did you see me? Everyone was waiting to see me leave with you, but you didn’t show up, and it was so embarrassing in front of everyone else."

After a pause, Rebecca continued, "But I just told everyone in the group that I’ll bring you to our weekend gathering so they can meet you."

Upon hearing this, Marcus’s expression instantly turned serious.

It seemed he was on a path of no return in acting as President Lancaster, and if he didn’t clarify things with Rebecca now, more misunderstandings might arise in the future, making it even more difficult to resolve.

In fact, Marcus had another motive for wanting to be honest now.

He wanted to see if Rebecca would still be with him once she knew he wasn’t President Lancaster.

Because Rebecca’s attitude toward him was so strange, he couldn’t help but suspect she was interested in him only for his identity.

Taking a deep breath, Marcus asked with a heavy tone, "Rebecca, if I’m not as good as you imagined, would you be disappointed in me?"

Rebecca froze for a moment, looking Marcus up and down, her eyes filled with suspicion.

She didn’t understand why Marcus was saying these things to her.

Was he testing her? Could it be that President Lancaster driving this car today was also to test her?

What kind of status President Lancaster had!

A man like him standing at the top of the pyramid couldn’t be casual about finding a future partner; setting up some tests was normal. Follow current novels on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

Thinking this, Rebecca smiled widely and said with indifference, "No matter how you are, I wouldn’t look down on you."

Marcus didn’t expect Rebecca to be so good, that she wouldn’t look down on him.

If that’s the case, he could safely tell Rebecca about his identity!

Marcus’s anxious heart instantly settled, and he continued seriously, "Rebecca, I have something very important to tell you, and you mustn’t get angry when you hear it."

"Okay, go on," Rebecca continued smiling faintly; she thought Marcus was probably going to talk about testing her.

How could she possibly be angry?

Maybe President Lancaster had decided she was the one and would take her home to meet his parents.

Rebecca had already thought about how to respond to Marcus and didn’t expect him to say, "Actually... you’ve misunderstood all along. I’m not President Lancaster."

Rebecca’s smile froze on her face at his words.

She was stunned for a long time before forcing a stiff smile and saying, "What are you talking about? This joke isn’t funny at all."

Marcus’s face was serious, and he reaffirmed, "What I’m saying is true. I’m not President Lancaster. I know you mistook me for him, and to avoid further misunderstandings, I want to explain it clearly. You said you wouldn’t blame me, right?"

After saying this, Marcus reached out and hugged Rebecca, saying emotionally, "Rebecca, I never thought you’d be such a great woman."

Rebecca felt as if she had been struck by lightning, shocked to her core.

Not President Lancaster... he’s not President Lancaster?

Her mind kept echoing with that sentence.

Finally, Rebecca came to her senses abruptly, reaching out to push Marcus away forcefully.

"You deceived me!" Rebecca, completely changed from her gentle and demure demeanor, looked at Marcus with disgust, her face twisted with anger, "You’ve been lying to me all along! Who are you really?"
