“Have it your way.” Luke sounded helpless. He did not head out right away. Instead, he discussed with Luca, “It’s okay not to hold hands, but you have to promise me something.”Luca did not expect him to set a condition. Hence, she asked, “What is it?”“Don’t reject me tonight.” There was a touch of intimacy colored in Luke's deep voice. He noticed the fine hair beside her ears. Then, he lifted his hand and tucked her hair behind her ears. Luca's ears were burning red after being touched. She lowered her head, took a few steps forward, and headed out. "Let's go out for lunch."Even though Luke did not get a response, he was in a good mood. Luca’s silence meant that she agreed to it.Luke secretly rejoiced as he watched Luca’s ears turn red.They had been married for years, yet she was still very shy.They had been married for many years, and they were blessed with three kids. They could have lived happily together for the rest of their lives.It was just that someone was alway
Luca had no choice but to choose Amur.Of course, she would have wanted to get the best of both worlds. Luke could get what he wanted from Pierre, and Amur could complete his mission at the same time.However, there was no way she could let the two of them get what they wanted.Hence, she had no choice but to help Amur.Luca needed Amur to return to the island safely. Amur and Eler would be able to take care of Nyla. Luca’s phone vibrated. She turned on the phone screen and saw a message from Amur.Amur asked: [You investigated Pierre?] He knew everyone was looking for Pierre now, and he was one of them too.[No. It wasn’t me. His men are following him.] Luca replied to his message. Then, she deleted her conversation with Amur on the phone.Amur did not reply to her for a very long time.Warren parked the car and turned around. He noticed that Luca was staring at her phone, lost in thoughts. He reminded her, “Ms. Craw, we’ve arrived at Watson Biopharmaceuticals.”“Huh? Oh.”
“Come and help us!” Oswald had no chance to explain to him as he gave the wooden sofa a hard push.“Ah, I’m coming.” The man who was the last to come out quickly came forward to help.The wooden sofa could be easily moved with three men’s strength. However, before they could reach the door, there was a loud noise. Bang! The door had broken down. A few men dashed into the house.Oswald was dumbfounded when he saw that.Those men were not in uniforms. If they were not police, then they were probably here to deal with personal matters.“Call the other guys and ask them to come here,” instructed Oswald.“I left my phone in the room. Let me get it,” replied one of the men. He scrambled away, heading to his room.The man who was the first to step into the house looked around him and clicked his tongue. “Tsk, tsk.”"Who are you?" Oswald looked at the man in front of him cautiously. Someone who broke into his house must have come with ill intentions.Still, he had no idea who this m
Leroy looked Pierre in the eye while he patted his face.It was not strong, but the slapping sound was full of humiliation. He was doing what Gale had instructed him to do.Pierre was a proud man. He could never stand someone pushing his buttons. Sure enough, Pierre immediately wanted to stand up.However, before he could bend his knees, Leroy’s men pressed him down on the ground.Leroy smiled and said, "Mr. Pierre, who are you trying to fool here? We both know whether or not it was really your assistant who stole the bidding document. Our boss didn’t mean to continue looking into it either. After all, you've already sent your assistant to prison. There's no point in throwing you in prison too. We only want to know how you contacted the seller and everything you know about him. Our boss will make sure that you're safe during this period and that you won't be found by the police. He won’t intervene with the Mallory family cleaning up your mess."Luke wanted Leroy to tell him that
"She's my woman!" Oswald repeated his words.The subordinate beside Leroy could not stand it anymore. “If you won’t imprison her, why can’t you let her go? Isn’t that reasonable?” “You…” Oswald was pissed, and he wanted to take out his anger. “Oswald.” Pierre walked out of his room. His face was swollen, and his hair was messy. He looked flustered. Oswald turned around and said to him, “Mr. Pierre, this b*tch is trying to escape.”"Let her go," Pierre replied in a cold voice as he watched Ms. Malone cry. "You know what to say and what not to say. If anything happens, you and your family won’t be able to live in peace. Do you understand?” Ms. Malone trembled with fear after being threatened. The HR department got her personal information when she was hired to work in Pierre’s office.Her family members were in A City. This was a warning.If Ms. Malone told the police officer that the burglary at Pierre’s office had something to do with him, or she tipped the police off to
“Leroy, is it alright to leave that woman at Mallory’s Corporation?” asked Leroy’s subordinate who sat in the passenger seat.After all, Mallory Corporation belonged to Percy. Everyone knew Percy and Pierre were not on good terms now. Was leaving Pierre’s subordinate to Percy a good idea? Would that woman come to a bad end?"What's on your mind?" Leroy narrowed his eyes and analyzed, "Percy is not as evil as Pierre. He wouldn't do such things to an innocent woman. So, the safest place for that woman to hide and receive treatment will be at Percy's place."“Boss, honestly, I thought you were interested in that woman.” The man turned around and smiled at him.“What’s in your head?” Leroy smacked the man’s head.“Ouch, Boss. It hurts,” cried the man.“I’m gonna deal with you if you don’t stop talking,” warned Leroy. “I’m just helping her. I’m not like you. You always think women are interested in you when you look at them.” “Cough.” The chauffeur was mocking the man in the passe
Leroy finally understood what Gale meant when he said he hated that person.There were so many huge pieces of furniture, and they had to move them up to the 12th floor. This job was way more difficult than the strength training they did every day. “Thank you, fellows. I didn’t close the door. Just move them into the apartment.” Gordan smiled and turned to look at Leroy.Gordan was a very good judge of character. He could see who was the leader with just a glance. Leroy had no choice but to secretly heave a sigh. It was Gale’s instructions. They could not turn down Gordan’s request.“Guys, let's get to work.” Leroy turned around and said to his men. It was Gale’s order.Leroy took the initiative. He worked together with another man and picked up a heavy box.Gordan smiled as he watched them get busy moving his furniture. He did not intend to help them. The immediately picked up his phone and took a photo.[They’re of great help.] Gordan sent the photo to Luke with a caption un
The bank teller exchanged glances with the security guard and nodded. “Let me withdraw the money for you now,” said the bank teller. The employees had to inform the bank in advance to withdraw such a huge amount of money. The bank teller knew that Luca was withdrawing the money for urgent use—a funeral. There was no way she could tell Luca that she had to make an appointment with the bank in advance before she could withdraw the money. Hence, she immediately helped Luca to withdraw the cash."Miss, here’s the 50,000 dollars in cash," said the bank teller.“Alright. Thank you.” Luca kept the cash in the briefcase and headed out.“Miss, let me see you off,” offered the guard. He saw Luca getting out of the car just now. Hence, he was planning to walk her to her car. It was dangerous to carry so much cash, after all.Luca got into the car as the guard saw her off. She said to Warren, “Let’s go.”“Okay, Ms. Craw.” Warren glanced at his phone message. Luke had replied to his mess
