“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
Luca stared at the flowers on the casket. The scent of the flowers was constantly stimulating her sense of smell. It made her feel like crying.Luca blinked her eyes and took her name card out of the briefcase. Then, she said, “Mrs. Wade, this is my name card. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need any help. I’m staying in A City. I have some connections here, so I should be able to help.” Luca knew she had to be responsible for the family for the rest of her lifeShe hoped that she could free herself from the Island of Despair and stay in A City for a longer time.“Alright. Thank you.” Mrs. Wade was weeping silently. Previously, someone told her to look for Luca when her mother-in-law was sick. After all, Luca had something to do with her mother-in-law being seriously ill. Hence, she should take some responsibility and pay for a portion of the medical bills. However, Mrs. Wade did not do that.Luca was not the one who sent the thief to the apartment. Hence, even though her hu
“You talk too much.” Luca took out her phone from her briefcase. "I don't have any cash. I’ll transfer the money to you.”Warren, who was standing in front of her and blocking her from the man, was slightly taken aback. Did this mean that Luca was willing to help this woman pay her debt?Did they know each other?The man turned back to the panicked middle-aged woman and smiled. "I didn't think anyone would really be willing to help you pay the money.""Cut the crap. Your Venmo.” Luca asked him to hurry up. She did not intend to discuss much with this group of people.The man pulled out his own phone and opened the Venmo app. Luca looked at Warren and said, "Take out your phone and record everything.”She was worried that the man would not acknowledge that she had transferred money to him after receiving it."Okay." Warren hurriedly took out his own phone and opened the camera, ready to record a video.Luca transferred the money. “Are you gonna let her go now?”"Let her go."
Sarah wiped a tear from her face. She looked toward the direction of Luca’s departure and said her thanks, "Thank you, Luca. If I ever get the chance, I’ll definitely return your great kindness."Inside the car.While driving, Warren asked Luca, still puzzled, “Dr. Craw, do you know a lot about that woman?""No. This is the second time I've met her." Luca shook her head.“But you still helped her, and you seemed to know that she wasn’t a gambler…” Warren murmured. He had met all kinds of people. He just needed to look at someone twice to figure out their identity and occupation.However, when it came to Sarah, he had the wrong first impression. He had assumed that the other party was a gambler who had lost all her money, went to borrow money so that she could continue gambling, and failed to pay her debts. That was why her debtors personally came to collect their money from her. “I guessed. The first time I saw Sarah, she seemed familiar. Maybe it’s because I’ve been around peop
The phone rang happily once again.Matysh glanced at the caller’s number. It was an unfamiliar number. He took the call. "Who is it?""Mr. Matysh, it's me." On the other end of the line, a familiar voice sounded.Matysh recognized this voice. It was the mob boss. “What did you call me for? Have you set things right with the police?" He wanted these people to abduct Luca and bring her over to him after dealing with their issues."Mr. Matysh, you shouldn’t think about getting that woman. I just received a piece of information. You should hurry and pack your bags, then buy a ticket back to Russia as soon as possible,” the man said."You promised me that you’d do the job for me after receiving the money! The job is not done yet, but you want me to go back to Russia!” Matysh said angrily.The man on the other end of the phone heard Matysh's reluctance and said, "It's not that we don't want to do the job, but the police are now investigating this case. The situation is quite bad. I r
"Bankrupt?" Matysh could not help but repeat and wondered if he heard it wrongly.“Yes. I’ve been digging up some information on A City’s business website. The company declared bankruptcy three years ago,” repeated the secretary.“Are you able to contact the business owner?” questioned Matysh.The secretary was confused. It had been years since they worked together. Why was he looking for him now?“Boss, I looked into some other related information on the internet after that. The news of the company going bankrupt caused a riot back then. The business owner absconded with the money. I heard that he fled abroad. I think we’ll need some time to look for that person now.” The secretary went straight to the point.The business owner who absconded with the money would not dare to use his real identity and personal information after fleeing. It would be difficult to look for him now.Matysh listened to what the secretary said and hung up the call right away.He knew even if he asked h
