Facing the ih in helplessness

Rhode didn’t have the intention to sign a contract with Marlene froh this missy had lots of positive results, contributions, and could even be considered a vice leader from a certain perspective, Rhode was very clear that it was impossible to keep Marlene

The reason was simple She’s Marlene Senia

To nobles, their surname was more important than the first nahter of a rich fa in a fast food restaurant If she worked for only a short few months, the boss wouldn’t have any objections and ain more experience But if she decided to work for many years — none of the bosses would be able to accept it

Moreover, Marlene’s role in the roup was different froet a share of the mission rewards, nor did she actually care about it Herand reassuring the team, those actions weren’t for material benefit,s but just purely her daily behavior as a noble Sometimes when Rhode was too busy, Marlene would take over the command temporarily

As an assistant, Marlene was very coood As such, Rhode had never considered drafting Marlene a mercenary contract

Of course, he could still choose to use the contract to tie this genius e by his side However, Rhode was very clear the consequences of doing this Although the laould still protect all hiive a daes to stir their ire, it wouldn’t be a good thing for Rhode Moreover, the Senia Fa’s Party, so Rhode didn’t see the need to invite potential trouble for himself

“I think you should be very clear about your identity, Marlene You’re a estured for her to calree to this Regarding the contract’s content, I’m pretty sure you’ve already seen it You, as a successor of the Senia Family, will you be able to accept?”

Marlene’s face changed and sluy

Without a doubt, she was very aware that if she was just ‘Marlene’, there wouldn’t be any complications But if she had to decide as ‘Marlene Senia’ then it would be very difficult

Rhode knew this all along, so he didn’t consider drafting her contract fro her a choice to choose between theMarlene, Rhode knew she definitely wouldn’t choose the former Marlene was a reasonable person who had been under strict education since young, and priority of matters had been clear-cut to her Under this situation, she wouldn’t let her e both parties aard, it’d be better to not mention about the contract But Rhode could understand hy Marlene was questioning herself not receiving a contract After all, she’d been in Starlight for such a long tis here Now that Rhode had given everyone a contract and left her out, so of course she would have some complaints It was nor could Marlene stay within the roup But he knew that the duration wouldn’t be too long Honestly, to have a genius e by his side would lessen the burden by a lot If possible, he hoped to find a few other real roup The level requireh as Rhode believed that those acquaintances of Marlene shouldn’t be too weak Since this rich in with, she wouldn’t mix around with those ‘ordinary’ folk Hence, the people whonized as capable shouldn’t be a problem

But Rhode did not intend to s as it wasn’t the time yet He believed that when it’s time for Marlene to leave, she would also think of this problem since she was a very responsible person

Contrary to his expectations, Marlene’s reaction gave Rhode a huge surprise

She sat on the chair silently for a long ti that gave Rhode a shock

“So that means, if my family allows me to stay then I’ll receive a contract like… Lize?”

“This…”

Rhode was stunned speechless for a moment Never did he expect Marlene to care so much about this matter It just doesn’t sees aren’t as simple as you think Miss Marlene”

Rhode decided to come clean and speak the truth once and for all

“After spending a considerable amount of ti aaon adventures So, I don’t think she should sign this contract as this would bring no benefits to both of us”

“I… I aness

“But… I still hope to receive the same treatment as Lize Besides…”

Marlene suddenly realized sheand quickly shut herher words

He realized that Marlene had beenof the conversation as if it wasn’t fair to only issue a contract to Lize and not to her Marlene should be very clear about Lize’s status in this hts?

Soht

“Anyway…”

Under Rhode’s gaze, Marlene coughed aardly and her face blushed slightly

“I can understand what you mean, Mr Rhode But no ht hts to receive similar treatment As for my family, you can rest assured I think they wouldn’t be too affected by this matter No matter what, I hope I can become the most special one in here”
