Chapter 56. Is Mark Smith willing?
Mae Lee said slowly, the corner of her originally indifferent mouth overflowing with a smile.
Although the smile was very pretty and could easily make people fall in love, still, it allowed Mark to see the provocation.
“Are you threatening me?”
Mark’s eyes narrowed, and the force on Mae’s wrist obviously became a little heavier.
Mae frowned in pain, but her expression did not change significantly. Before she could speak, Mark continued:
“Do you think that you can threaten me?”
Having said that, he chuckled lightly, feeling that Mae was innocent and simple.
Divorce proceedings might be useful to others, but to him, Mark Smith, if he does not want to, he could delay it for the rest of his life.
Mae’s heart trembled. Marks‘ arrogant and conceited appearance was annoying, but she had to admit the fact that her threat did not affect him much.
The top clan of the wealthy family in Bailen was a privileged class that was out of reach. He really wanted to fight against her.
Thinking of this, Mae lowered her eyes and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
“Then let’s wait. It is not a bad thing to hold the title of Mrs. Smith. Anyway, I won’t be the one who will be grieving.”
She twitched the corner of her mouth with a sneer. She did not believe that Mark would be so stupid that he did not know what she meant in the second half of her sentence.
If she held onto the name of Mrs. Smith, Jennifer Bleak would be an unworthy mistress, and the child in her womb would be a lowly illegitimate child.
Even if the child were to be acknowledged one day, the child would not be able to get rid of its identity as an illegitimate child.
If Mark uses his brain a little, he will know that if he continued to fight against her like this, it would be unfortunate for both Jennifer and the child.
Is Mark Smith willing?
Thinking about it, Mae felt that she had a good chance of winning, her mood that had been annoyed by Mark had improved, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But she is unaware that Mark had no idea what she was thinking at this time, nor did he understand the hints in her last sentence.
He just thought that she was happy because she could continue to be Mrs. Smith, and even he himself was infected by her joy.
“Then when do you to go home? I will send…”
As he started to speak, he paused for a while and then said, “I’ll pick you up?”

He consciously allowed himself to soften his tone, but he did not realize that there was a subtle expectation in his eyes when he looked at Mae.
The smile at the corner of Mae’s mouth faded a little, and her eyes looked a little strange.
Is Mark pretending to be stupid or does not he really understand what she meant?
Is he really planning to embarrass Jennifer and that child?
At this moment, a group of people suddenly ran towards them as if they had been frightened by something, and shouted-
“Don’t go over there. Glorientelle is being controlled by a group of robbers. Hurry up and quickly call the police. The robbers have taken a group of hostages…”
A group of people ran around in a panic, their faces turning pale with fright.
“Glorientelle Little Jane…”
Mae’s expression changed drastically as she broke free from Marks’s hand and ran frantically to the west.
Glorientelle was the largest commercial center in the city. Hannah and Jeann brought Little Jane to play in that mall.
The blood on Mae’s face faded, her legs were weak, and she almost instinctively ran towards the mall.
Mark naturally heard the shouts of those people just now. Seeing Mae’s flustered appearance, thinking of the “Little Jane” she was shouting, he instantly understood what was going on and immediately quickened his pace to chase after her.
“Mae, don’t worry, your daughter will be fine.”
Mark had never liked to talk too much, and he was not very good at comforting others. Apart from saying this, he did not know what else to say to comfort her.
However, Mae ignored him. Glorientelle Shopping Center was not far from here. Five or six minutes later, Mae had already arrived.
At this time, the SWAT and police personnel, firefighters, and ambulances had already arrived. Outside the mall, a cordon was being drawn up to disperse the crowd.
Just as Mae was about to enter, a policeman stopped her. “It’s very dangerous inside. Please leave immediately.”
“Go away! My daughter is inside!”
At this moment, Mae is losing her mind like a lunatic. Her eyes were scarlet, and she raised her hand to push the policeman away.
“Mae, calm down. The special police are already here. Your daughter will be fine.”
Mark pulled Mae’s frantic body and tried to calm her down, but she did not listen at all.
He held her arm and she slapped him, “Mark Smith, leave my business alone.”
She looked at him coldly. Her scarlet eyes were filled with hatred that shocked him. Mark’s heart stagnates, and a feeling of pain instantly filled his heart making him unable to breathe. He froze for a moment. He did not even respond to Mae’s slap. He just looked at her broken feeling as if she had

been torn apart by life, causing him to suddenly feel distressed as if his heart had exploded.
“I heard that Jennifer is still inside. Today, she came to the mall to do an endorsement event. She was on the first floor of the large area. She must have been held hostage by the robbers.”
“Uh~ What should I do, Jennifer, please don’t worry…”
“She’s my favorite female celebrity. She’s gentle and kind, please don’t let anything happen to her.”
“Those garbage robbers, I haven’t had time to see Jennifer. I came from the next city.”
There were a few nervous and sad little girls standing beside them. Based on their words, they should be Jennifer Bleak’s fans.
Mae looked at Mark coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, “Jennifer is still inside, can you rest assured that the child in her womb will be fine?”
Hearing that, Mark’s brows furrowed, his cool lips pursing into a straight line.
In Mae’s view, this was an acknowledgement of his worries and nervousness toward Jennifer and
the child in her womb.
“Mark, mind your own business and leave me alone.”
Mae once again struggled to get rid of Mark’s hand, but he held her tightly and did not let go, “The special police are already guarding outside. If you rashly go in and alert those robbers, it will only be more dangerous for your daughter
Mae’s expression froze for a moment and came back to her senses. Her eyes fell on the outside of the shopping mall surrounded by special forces, and snipers were on standby at every angle. They were negotiating with the robbers inside.
Her reasoning told her that she should stand here calmly and wait, but when she thought of her daughter who was less than four years old, all her reason was almost overwhelmed by panic.
