Chapter 165: Your Family. My Family.
She had seen porn before, but none of them matched up to the sheer size of what she just saw!
Maria spoke up while moving her body in a way that would allow her to leave quickly if she needed to.
"What do you want to say to me? Just so you know, intimidation won\'t work. Do you think the media will allow you to go if you intimidate a high school girl on your first day back? They\'ll have a field day with you!"
"Are you forgetting that I am also a high school student? But I\'m not going to intimidate you, Maria. I\'m going to warn you. You won\'t say a word about what happened in here, and you will take this to the grave with you."
Maria immediately frowned as she took a few more steps back. She was ready to leave this place, but she felt so intimidated by Mark\'s presence that she didn\'t want to turn her back to him at all. It is the same feeling you get when you\'re in front of a lion, and you know that turning your back on it would mean certain death.
Like a sheep that doesn\'t want to lose, its life, so it faces the predator defiantly. Maria just felt like if she turned her back to Mark, he would tear her apart in seconds.
"Why should I stay quiet? You two are fornicating in school, and you want me to keep shut about it? I\'m a member of the student council, and it is my job to–"
"You\'re Maria Triston. Eldest daughter of the Triston transportation company that specializes in the movement of cargo across the ocean. Your father is Ronald Triston, and his father is Alfred Triston.
You have a younger brother named Hugh Triston who is set to take over the company when he turns eighteen, but there is currently an internal rift between your father and his brother who is trying to overthrow him. Is that right?"
Maria\'s eyes widened as she stumbled away from Mark. What in the world just happened? Where did he get all that information from? Maria had never told anyone in school about her family before, and she sure as hell hadn\'t told anyone that her family was currently going through an internal civil war. What the hell is this?
Maria narrowed her eyes at Mark as she heard the closet door opening. Arit stepped out from the closet with her uniform back in its proper place. She looked as immaculate as ever, and her eyes were back to their regular black as she smiled at Maria kindly. Maria felt more threatened by that smile than ever before.
Was this not the same girl that was just glaring at her and telling her to fuck off before?
Mark looked down at Arit as she came to stand beside him and he smiled as he spoke gently.
"Hey babe, you can go back to class. I\'ll just finish talking to Maria here and send her on her way."
Arit simply nodded, and she did not stop Mark from kissing her when he leaned down. She accepted the kiss and waved him goodbye as she went back to class.
"Make sure you come back when you\'re done! I\'m not coming out here to look for you again!"
Arit shouted out to Mark angrily, and Mark just chuckled as he watched her go back to class. Once she was gone, Mark\'s smile vanished as he looked back at Maria.
Maria was now openly glaring at Mark as she spoke.
"What are you trying to say by bringing up my family? Who the hell are you?"
Mark shrugged as he heard what she said.
"I know I do not flaunt my family name around, but it is strange that most of you still do not know who I am. Have you heard of the Vanitas family?"
Maria frowned.
"Of course I have. They are the largest car manufacturing company in… no… that\'s impossible. You?"
Maria looked Mark over with wide eyes as something seemed to click inside her head when she started talking. She couldn\'t believe it. She knew that there was a very high likelihood that it was true, but she just couldn\'t believe it. This was the sole heir and next CEO of the Vanitas franchise? Are you fucking kidding!?
Maria was so shocked because she just never imagined someone like Mark to be the heir to anything. Mark was a superhuman, but he was also once a well-known vigilante and someone who always skipped school. If you ever thought of who could be the heir to the Vanitas franchise, Mark\'s face would never even come to the front of your mind once!
Everyone always thought that the heir to the Vanitas franchise was hiding in a secluded country and learning in secret so that they would come back and take over, but hearing that it was Mark was just too much.
"Don\'t sound so shocked."
Mark frowned in irritation as he heard the shock in Maria\'s voice. Was she trying to insult him here? Maria\'s frown also deepened.
"I don\'t believe you. You\'re bluffing."
Mark smiled and placed his hand on Maria\'s head. The touch was soft, and Maria barely even felt it, but she couldn\'t help but think that Mark\'s hand was a guillotine preparing to take her head off at any moment. She didn\'t dare to move a muscle as she glanced up at him with her eyes narrowed in fake confidence.
"Whether I am bluffing or not is up to you to find out, but you should be more than aware of what my family can do to yours. One call is all it would take for me to retract the business that my family provides yours with, and there will be no more Triston Transportation Company.

Be very careful about who you tell what you saw today; it could determine whether or not your company sees the light of tomorrow. Because, unlike your uncle who just wants to take over the company, I\'m much more heartless. I will bury your family name, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Once Mark was done saying this, he turned and left down the hall in the same direction that Arit went. He might as well go to class since he was busted.
Maria was left standing alone in the corridor with a dark cloud over her head as she watched him go. She still didn\'t believe it. She knew that there was a small chance that Mark was actually the heir to the Vanitas franchise, but she just didn\'t believe it.
The Vanitas Motors company was one of the largest investors and business ventures that Triston Transportation Company had. Triston Transportation Company was in charge of the transportation and logistics of all Vanitas motors that were being sent overseas. On paper, Vanitas Motors accounted for more than thirty-five percent of Triston\'s yearly revenue, but in reality, it was far more than that!
