“Right now…” The corner of Belle’s lips was raised slightly. “Let’s not talk about that now. I heard that Mallory Corporation will hold a shareholder’s meeting in a few days, right?”“So?” Pierre raised his eyebrows. After the woman in front of him piqued his interest, he was no longer looking at Luca hatefully.Whether it be Luca or Luke, he would take his revenge on them for what they did to him, so there was no need to do anything right now.Luca was calm. She would not be intimidated by his gaze anyway.“I’ve also heard some rumors that this shareholder’s meeting is to recall your brother, Percy, from the position of CEO. Thus, you’ll be electing a new CEO for Mallory Corporation. If the rumors are true, then I guess that person will be you, right?” Belle asked him.The moment the news of the shareholder’s meeting was made public, rumors started spreading like wildfire.Percy’s dark past had also been exposed without regard to whether they were true or not.When Belle saw th
After Luca left the restaurant, she headed back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.She came downstairs for lunch late, so lunchtime was almost over by the time she finished, which was why there were not many people around.The employees in nearby companies had already returned to work, so the streets were relatively empty. Other than the parked cars, not many people were walking around.Luca rushed back to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.She was too focused on Pierre’s conversation while eating, so she ate slowly. If she did not hurry back now, she would be late.When she got to the entrance, a ray of light flashed in the corner of her eyes.Luca stopped in her tracks and looked across the street.At the same time, a black car on the opposite side of the road caught her attention.When she looked up, the people in the car ducked down.They were fast to react, but Luca still caught sight of their shadows.Luca’s eyesight was sharp, so she saw them duck down. If they had not tried to hid
The researcher smiled awkwardly and explained, "Dr. Craw, I didn't look at your analysis on purpose. I was bringing it to your seat and I accidentally..."He paused for a second and assured her, "Don't worry, I won’t mention anything to anyone."After all, before the initiation of every research project, the company would have to review the study’s theoretical support. If he wanted to keep his job, he had to do what Luca said.He just thought that it was a little strange. The data he saw in her analysis did not seem like any ordinary virus.‘Luca's research is not on ordinary viruses?’The company may not approve the project if it were too niche. The profits may be high, but the investments would be excessive as there would not be much existing research and data on the topic.The researcher was worried that Luca's efforts would be in vain.The other researchers looked at each other and were not sure what to say. Luca sat there and was focused on her data set. After a while, Lu
Warren did not ask for more details. After he entered the address, he followed the navigation app and started driving.As soon as the car pulled out to the roadside, Luca noticed that a black Corolla was following them.She put on a faint smile and reminded Warren, "There's a black Corolla following us.""Yes." Warren glanced through the rear mirror and saw the black Corolla she was referring to."This car has been parked near the office," he said. Warren would wander around and inspect while he was waiting for Luca. He was Gale's subordinate and had undergone special training, so he was alert to his surrounding environment."Mm." Luca nodded. ‘It seems that Gale's subordinates are not bad.’"How did you know that they’re after you?" Warren asked."When I was eating lunch, they were taking photos and the flash went off," Luca explained. She was not a movie star who was used to the camera, so she was sensitive to flashes as such.She would not necessarily have noticed if the fla
"I'll head home to cook now." Luca made an excuse, hurriedly unlocked the door, and walked into the apartment.As she stared at the closed apartment door, Mrs. Selley shuddered and sighed as she said, "Youngsters today are so bold. They dare to live anywhere."Mrs. Selley thought of the gust of wind that blew when the door closed just now and shuddered again. "That house is spine-chilling."Luca walked into the apartment and found that the lights were on, indicating that Amur had returned."Amur?" she called out to him.The apartment was empty, and her voice was the only thing that proved that someone was there. Luca was puzzled, so she picked up the phone and called him.Amur answered as soon as the call was connected."Amur, why aren't you in the apartment?" Luca asked."I'm doing some shopping," Amur replied.Luca could hear that the background on his end was a bit noisy. He seemed to be on the street, so she said, "Okay, I'll start cooking now. Come after you’re done shopp
Luca nodded. Pierre could not bear the common risks that came with transactions as such. She did not expect him to go so far."The boss was so annoyed by him that he taught him a lesson in Russia, thinking he would learn his lesson. However, after Pierre left Russia, he’s been using his network to investigate Abel. He has the boss’ contact number, and Boss felt that things would go down if he let Pierre be. As such, he asked me to deal with the matter," Amur said.If Pierre had been obedient, this would not have happened."He asked for it..." Luca said softly."Yes, if he hadn’t continued to dig into Abel, the deal would have ended as such and the boss wouldn't have done anything," Amur said as he believed that the deal was fair as it was mutually consensual.All transactions involved risk.Abel took the risk, and so did Pierre.The money and the goods had changed hands but Pierre constantly bothered Abel to get a refund, screaming that the proposal was fake. The money was in
"Wait," Amur said. He walked to the living room, picked up two full bags, and handed them to her."What's this?" Luca glanced at the bags with a supermarket logo printed on them."Snacks for the kids..." Amur explained, "I just so happened to buy them when I was at the supermarket.""Thank you." Luca did not reject his kind offer. When he deliberately emphasized the phrase ‘just so happened to buy them', she thought that the awkward Amur was a little cute.As she looked back on the past three years, he had matured a lot and could take on responsibility.She knew that Amur rejected Luke because of her previous experience. Nevertheless, he knew that the three children were innocent."I'll be making a move, then." Luca picked up the two bags and left."I'll send you off." Amur walked quickly to the door and opened it.Luca shook her head and said, "You've been on the road for a few days. I'm sure you're tired. Rest early. The driver is downstairs. I won't be in any danger.""Okay
The grandma he referred to was Allison.The child's words reminded Luca of Allison. She had been to Korea for a while, and she was not sure how the operation went.She did not hear Luke mention it either.However, she caused such a scene when she went back to Crawford Manor for the New Year, so it was likely that no one cared about her surgery."Is Mr. Crawford back?" Luca asked the child."Daddy knows that you were going to have dinner with Uncle, so he came back early. He’s now working upstairs," Tommy said.Luca picked up the two bags of snacks, went into the pantry, and kept the treats out of the child's reach.Tommy loved to eat. She was worried that they would overeat, so she put them up a little higher. When they wanted to eat them, Aunt Neile could take the snacks for them and control the amount so that the children would not overeat."Are you done with your cartoons?" After she put away the snacks, she asked Tommy who was following behind."Yeah, the show’s over." Tom
