"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
Gale could not help but ask with curiosity, “Boss, are you picking up someone from the airport?”“We’re going there to stop someone from leaving,” replied Luke.Gale understood at once. He knew that Luke was on a call with the police not long ago. He was probably heading to the airport to stop Matysh. “Alright, Boss. Do we need to bring more men with us?”“The police will be arresting him. We’re heading there to be onlookers.” Luke’s eyes darkened. He was not planning to get himself involved in the police’s arrest. However, if the police failed to catch Matysh, Gale and Rain could help.“Got it, Boss. I’ll have a few men arranged in front of the airport security to wait for him,” replied Gale as he immediately understood what Luke meant.Gale and Rain would follow Luke to the airport. Their main purpose was to watch them, and those men who were guarding the airport would also stop Matysh from escaping.“Okay.” Luke hung up the call.He continued to go through the document.Th
Luca nodded. She did not ask where Luke was going and replied, "Okay. I'll turn the lights on for you." “Okay. Don’t wait for me. Go to bed early,” reminded Luke. He could not stand to see her staying up late for his sake.After all, he would probably only come back home around 3:00 a.m.“What time are you heading out?” asked Luca.“Half an hour later.” Luke glanced at the time. They had to arrive at the airport earlier than Matysh. Only then they would not be discovered. They only had to wait for the police to deal with Matysh after hiding.“Yes. The weather forecast says the temperature will drop tonight. Put on a few more layers of clothes,” reminded Luca. It was colder at night. She did not know what Luke would be doing, and she had no idea if he would be staying indoors or outdoors.Hence, she reminded him to put on more layers and keep himself warm."Alright," replied Luke. How he wished Luca could ask him where he was going and what he was up to.However, she did not
“Yes, Madam!” Tommy saluted Luca. She could not help but smile when she saw how cute Tommy was.After she watched Tommy take his pajamas and walk into the bathroom, she returned to her bedroom and sat at the dressing table. She looked at the plastic wrap and stared blankly at herself in the mirror.Luke was the one who had been helping her to wrap the plastic wrap on her hand for the past few days before she took a shower. She had to do it herself today.Luca picked up the plastic wrap. When she was about to wrap the plastic wrap on her hand, there was a knock on the door. “Who is it?” Luca went to open the door and realized it was Lanie. “Lanie, what’s wrong?”“I received a call from Daddy before I went to shower. He asked me to do something,” said Lanie in a cool manner.“Huh?” Luca did not understand what the child meant.Lanie walked into the bedroom and picked up the plastic wrap on the table. “Daddy told me it was inconvenient for you to wrap it yourself, so he asked me
After an hour's drive, Luke arrived at the airport. He met Gale and Rain there.“All set?” Luke asked. Gale and Rain made arrangements to send some men to the airport after he ended the call.They spent ten minutes deploying their men for tonight’s plan. They were ready for it.Their men were professionals. Luke could recognize some of the faces. Some of them dressed up as the airline’s ground crew.“I have it all arranged. Our men will be positioned at every exit door. They’re sure who their target is, and they won’t get the wrong person.” Gale handed the mask and cap to Luke and said, “Boss, you’ll have to disguise your identity too.” Luke looked at the cap Gale handed to him with contempt.Gale understood what he meant. He immediately pointed at the shop nearby and said, “These are new. I bought them here. They’re from the warehouse, and no one has worn them before.”Luke took the cap from him and put it on. Then, he put on the mask too.Gale nodded continuously. Even tho
The two of them mocked each other on the phone, but it did not stop them from observing Matysh.Matysh looked relaxed after walking into the VIP lounge. He was not as anxious as he was just now. Instead, he was enjoying himself in the lounge.He drank some coffee and had some red wine.However, they were not to his liking. Then, he called the staff to come over. He used his poor English and started to comment on what he was dissatisfied with.“He’s hard to please,” Rain could not help but mutter when she saw that.Gale agreed to it and nodded.Rain turned to look at Luke. He was holding a magazine, but the brim of the cap covered his face. She had no idea if he was reading the magazine or looking at Matysh.She withdrew her gaze and continued to keep an eye on Matsyh.Then, she saw Maytsh touching the staff member.“What a pervert. How could he do such a thing?” Rain continued to judge him. If someone dared to treat her that way, she would slap him in the face.However, she w
The smile on the police officer’s face disappeared, and he looked awkward.Rain must have seen his colleague getting pushed by Matysh and letting him escape. It was embarrassing. If it were not for Rain who threw Matysh over her shoulder, it would probably take some time for them to chase Matysh. Also, they would alert the other passengers at the airport, damaging A City’s reputation. Luke took off his cap and mask too.The police officer recognized Luke with just a glance and said, "Mr. Crawford, it's late. Are you traveling somewhere?" Luke stared coldly at Matysh from behind as he was taken away, and he replied, “I came here to witness this.”The police officer was dumbfounded. Did he come here to see Matysh get arrested?However, it seemed like their operation did not go smoothly, and they needed help from the citizens who were not involved in this.If his superiors found out about this, the other police officers would probably be criticized. The police officer shivered,
“Fine. Just once.” Luca could not bear to see her child pleading with her. She also blamed herself for being useless.If it were not for Abel, who was manipulating her, she would not have to use her current identity to attend her child’s parent-teacher conference.She would not have to trouble Old Master Crawford to take care of the kids for her either.Other than that, Luca wondered why the school was holding a parent-teacher conference at this time.Luca had only confronted Mrs. Hudson yesterday, and before Luke could do anything, the school was already organizing this conference. She thought it was troublesome.“That’s great. I don’t have to trouble Great-grandpa this time!" said Tommy, putting on a smile as a hint of complacency flashed across his eyes. After breakfast, Zander sent the three kids to school. Luca sat at the dining table, thinking about the parent-teacher conference. While Aunt Neile cleaned the table, she asked with curiosity, “Ms. Luca, are you having a da
