Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 181 So cranky

Marvin's eyes narrowed.

“I recently ran into Mr. Rollins. If you don’t release her, | will call m immediately,” Renee declared.

“Do you think Quincy can intimidate me?” Marvin asked, nonchalantly.

Renee shook her head. “It’s not about intimidation, But if Sarah is troubled, I'll ensure you face the same.”

Sarah, with effort, managed to loosen his grip.

Though healthier now, Sarah's childhood frailty still made her appear delicate, and it seemed wrong to use force

against her. She hissed, “Marvin, are you in your right niind? If so, please leave If not, I'll have Vance cfor

you.”

Marvin's gaze lingered on Sarah, wordless, seemingly accusing her of abandoning him tonight. His behavior had

been erratic over the past month, often displaying a sense of grievance towards Sarah as if she were the one

who put him in that situation.

It was hard to reconcile this side of Marvin with the decisive, ruthless heir of the Hill family. He seemed more like

a dejected wolfhound.

“Sarah, are you avoiding me?” Marvin inquired.

“Marvin, please go home.”

“We really should suggest the university secure the dormitory area gates,” Renee remarked as she walked back

with Sarah. Leaving them open at night could invite unwanted intruders.

Sarah had already messaged Vance to fetch Marvin. His behavior was his own responsibility. “Renee, won't you

ask about Marvin and me?”

“If you feel like sharing, you will,” Renee replied.

As a supportive friend, she chose not to pry into Sarah’s personal affairs.

“But...” Pondering Marvin's actions, Renee posed a question. “Is he really alright mentally?”

His reactions, especially when Quincy was mentioned, seemed too lucid for someone who was not in his right

mind.

Yet, if he were well, he wouldn't have acquiesced to Sarah so readily.

“I'm not certain,” Sarah admitted. “This isn’t the first the’s kissedlike that.”

Renee was taken aback. This was big revelation indeed.

Sarah, visibly frustrated, continued, “I assumed his actions were due to his mental state, so | didn’t confront him,

but...”

“But what?” Renee sensed there was more.

“The other day, he walked in onshowering, and well...he got a boner.”

“Marvin...he got a boner?!” Renee stopped short and turned to look at Sarah, utterly dumbfounded. “It seems

unusual that he kissed you like that. No, actually, think about it. Have you ever heard of a mentally challenged

person just randomly kissing someone?”

Sarah quickly locked the door behind them. Now that Renee mentioned it, she realized just how gullible she had

been.

She had always considered Marvin as her savior. After his so-called breakdown and subsequent show of

weakness, she had foolishly lowered her guard around him.

“Do you think Marvin...Do you think he fancies you?” Renee voiced out her speculations.

“Do you think Mr. Hill is capable of such emotions?” Sarah countered.

Renee fell silent at that.

The family dynamics of the Hills were just as intricate as those of the Kings, with Marvin possibly being in an

even tougher spot than Marcelo.

The current patriarch of the Hill family was Marvin's grandfather, shelton Hill.

Shelton had three wives and numerous children with cach, leading to even more offspring in the generations that

followed. One of his grandchildren was Quincy.

The grandchildren had always vied for Shelton’s attention even as kids, and now, the competition was even

more fierce with the family wealth and business on the line.

It wasn't just the grandchildren, though-even members of the extended family were also trying to secure their

places in the power struggle.

Marvin's parents had died early, a misfortune that left him in a very vulnerable position. He grew up in isolation,

completely ignored by Shelton, and practically nonexistent to the rest of the Hill family. That was, until he

becan adult.

Using his unbearably good looks, he employed devious tactics to wheedle his way to the center of the family,

eventually earning everyone's fear.

After his unexpected rise in power, many of his relatives tried to curry favor with him by offering him both

women and men

But Marvin remained unmoved by their efforts. He was focused solely in obtaining absolute power and

eliminating his enemies. He wasn’t interested in romance. Or so everyone thought. After all, how could someone

so ruthless have the space for such things?

“Marvin's connection with the Rollins family runs deep,” Sarah said. “I don’t want anything to do with them, nor

do | want to get involved in the Hill family’s internal feuds. I'll persuade Vance to take him away once and for all.

Can | stay with you for a few days, just until Marvin is gone?” At the end of the day, it all boiled down to the fact

that Marvin was a dangerous man.

“Of course.” Renee nodded.

University campuses were typically secure, and students were bustling to and fro at every hour of the day. It was

a considerably safer environment than most private residences. This was also why Renee had initially requested

to stay in the university dormitories.

Sarah and Renee soon disappeared into the dormitory building.

Marvin's expression turned cold. Instead of heading to the university's main gates, he turned in a different

direction.

Shrouded in the darkness of the night, a Pagani was parked in the corner of the street that wasn’t illuminated by

a single- lamppost.

Marvin knocked on the driver's side window of the car, and the window slowly rolled down. “Done pretending?”

Marcelo quipped.

Marvin scoffed and rolled his eyes. “And you? You're not pretending to be disabled anymore, are you? Besides, |

wasn't completely pretending.”

Marcelo nodded in acquiescence before peering at Marvin. “To think that you went so far as to hire a hypnotist to

alter your memory and make your act all the more convincing...All for a woman? The Hill family is doomed.”

Marcelo’s words did not surprise Marvin. If anyone could run a thorough investigation, it would be Marcelo,

Marvin had indeed considered pretending at first, but Sarah was a sharp and intelligent woman. If he went that

route, he would be risking discovery in the first few days. On the other hand, the effects of hypnotism do not last

forever; they would diminish over time. Case in point, the effects wore off tonight.

Technically speaking, he had never put up an act in front of Sarah,

He just adopted a few cunning tactics.

“Why is our Mr. King so cranky?” Marvin teased. “Did your woman dump you or something?”

Marcelo narrowed his eyes. “Renee and | are legally married.”

There was no such thing as getting dumped when they were legally bound to each other.

Marcelo gave Marvin a sideways glance and raised an eyebrow sardonically, as if to say that someone like him

who resorted to such trickery would never understand the sanctity of marriage.

Marvin understood the unspoken message perfectly, and he scoffed in indignation. This annoying bastard!
