Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Lucian was in a meeting when Timothy called. His mind went blank instantly, and he was engulfed by silence. He slumped in his chair, feeling like all his strength had been drained. It was difficult for him to move even a muscle in his body. It took several seconds before he finally grasped hold of the situation. He stood up, his face was dark and silently walked out of the meeting room. Even later, the executives present still remembered how awful and gloomy Lucian looked at that moment. Calista seemed somewhat dazed, slow to react, but it wasn’t as if she was scared out of her wits. She looked at Lucian, yet it seemed she was looking past him.After a while, she slowly said, "I'm sorry." She was completely out of it as if trapped in a mental state where no one could reach her. The person before her seemed like a lifeless puppet. Lucian grabbed her hand with a strong grip. The pain brought Calista back to her senses. "Callie." She finally focused her gaze and looked at h

Calista looked at her and asked, "What would you do?" "I'll throw you a bait to hook you in, then divide the matter into three parts. The first part will be told today, the second part after you successfully send the child abroad and make that professor his attending physician, and the third part after I've settled down abroad," Yara said, her tone light but convincing."Human nature is so; not even family and friends can be fully trusted. Look at those who were deceived into going abroad and ended up becoming exploited. It was either due to their greed or the betrayal of acquaintances." "He is a murderer who killed your mom. What if you go back on your word after he revealed everything? He would just kill someone for money. It"s most likely he"s a horrible person. He wouldn"t bet you"re some kind of saint who will forgive everything?" Yara continued, "So it wouldn"t matter if that call came. You wouldn"t hear what you want anyway. Since that's the case, why blame yourself?"Ya

Back at Everglade Manor, Calista was still thinking about Hugo's sudden suggestion for her to go abroad. Could it be that the Jacques family was undergoing some changes? No wonder they suddenly wanted to expand to Capeton.Lost in her thoughts about the Jacques family, she forgot about the injury on Lucian's body. But when she snapped back to reality, he was nowhere to be seen. He didn't even take advantage of his wound, which was unlike the sly man he was. Calista was just about to go upstairs to check when she received a call from Paul. "Calista, the company is hosting a dinner party for the CrossTime Project tonight. Are you available? The project team has been talking about missing you all day. They’d be thrilled if you come." She was a part-timer and only spent up to four hours at the company each day.Due to the tight schedule, she would dive straight into work as soon as she arrived, without even a moment for small talk. So, it was clear that they were just using her t

Calista raised her head, and in front of her stood a young girl with black hair and fair skin. She had large, round eyes and was dressed in an evening gown that matched her charming style. She looked at Calista with an inquisitive gaze. Calista nodded, "Yes, you can." She was about to continue messaging Lucian when the girl asked, "I saw you come in with Paul earlier. Are you his girlfriend?" "No, I used to be his employee," she gestured to the words 'CrossTime' on the stage, "I'm here for the celebration." "Oh, that's great! I'm Camila Williams." Camila’s face lit up with joy, completely unrestrained. "My dad and Mr. Baker intend to arrange a marriage between us, and I'm quite happy with him. I thought I had been rejected when I saw you come in with him." Camila was good at socializing, and in no time, she had revealed everything, even the details of her first kiss with her first love.She was already envisioning her wedding with Paul, wondering what style it should b

The purpose behind his enthusiasm was to find him a girlfriend. Hugo had lived his years, but it was his first time meeting such a bastard like Lucian. The woman in red discreetly sized Hugo up. She can't determine the man's exact age, but he has a maturity and elegance that comes with age.He has a robust physique, and his age can be easily overlooked due to his compelling charisma. She had heard of the Jacques family from Apthon. If she can get close to Hugo, it would solve the financial problems at home. "Cheers to you, Hugo." A few days ago, her father almost married her off to a man in his sixties. She had no other choice but to try her luck. She heard that Lucian and his ex-wife got married due to a one-night stand. They didn’t have any emotional attachment, and yet he helped her pay off several million in debt.So, she considered him a prime target. But Lucian had no interest in her, and now she was quite satisfied looking at Hugo. Facing the enthusiasm of the wo
