Dariel Cooper also mentioned that Vermes Marley is very fond of Ella, and they must not let him take the opportunity to run away with her.
"I'm Vermes Marley, I'm here to see her. Is that not allowed?" Vermes Marley smirked with a devilish grin.
"No, it's not!" Marcus Moore stood in his way, "Ella isn't feeling well right now."
"What if she wants to see me?" Vermes Marley said with apparent confidence.
At that moment, Ella Lacey's pair of watery eyes emerged from the quilt, coincidentally meeting Vermes Marley's blue pupils, signaling something to her.
It took her a moment to react before she said to Marcus, "He's my college classmate, my senior. We're just going to chat, is there a problem with that?"
"But…" Marcus thought Vermes Marley had come here with an agenda.
"If you're worried, you can wait outside." Ella Lacey looked annoyed, "Why are you and dad treating me as if I'm helpless?"
