Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 481 - Bab 490

Calista couldn't speak. All she could do was whimper.The one who accosted her was a man with powerful arms. He had one hand over her mouth and the other gripping her by the neck. He was dragging her to a corner in the parking lot.Was this a kidnapping? Was she getting abducted? Was she going to be murdered to cover up a crime? Was he one of Kyros' men?Calista fell into panic. She tried to break free. But, the arm around her neck was like an impenetrable barrier. No matter how she hit him, he wouldn't budge at all.Seeing that she was being dragged into a blind spot away from the surveillance cameras, she blindly swung her bag back.However, having been restrained and faced away from the man, she missed most of her strikes. When she managed to hit him, the blow was as light as scratching an itch.That was when Calista felt her bag hit something solid. Then, the man let out a muffled groan."S-Stop, Ms. Everhart … I … I know you."As soon as they rounded the corner, the man re

"How do you test for lovesickness? Do you take me for an idiot?" Calista pushed him away and turned to open the door."You're still in the enemy camp. Focus on staying undercover. You're already being forced to take medicine. You should hurry and come up with something. I can only cover for you once. I can't stop you from taking it every time.""You're just taking them as they come. Aren't you afraid you'll end up turning into an idiot because you keep taking the pills?" With how practiced Kyros seemed, it was likely that it wasn't his first time feeding them to Lucian. Despite knowing that he wasn't a good person, Lucian still reached for the "medicine".The thought infuriated Calista. But, she knew that he wouldn't put himself in harm's way if there were other courses of action he could take.Calista was about to turn the doorknob when Lucian hugged her from behind. His lips brushed against her."Stay tonight?"Their hands were interlocked over her abdomen. She was relieved

"You had Mr. Beaumont advise me to not give up on my interest last time. I ultimately decided to remain at the Northwood Corporation. But still, thank you."Calista grabbed her car keys. Then, she stopped in her tracks as she was brushing past him. "I'll think about it. Thank you, Paul."Paul watched her retreating figure and felt hesitation surface in his heart. He didn't know who was the one to have Augustus offer her advice. But, he could hazard a guess.However, Calista wrongly assumed that it was him. If he went along with the misunderstanding … She had already grabbed the door handle and was about to get into the car."Calista …" Paul stopped her with a gentle smile playing on his lips."This is my first time."Calista turned to stare at him, shocked. She was in disbelief. The man's smile was warm as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said."Umm … Huh?"What did Paul mean by that? She was at a loss for words. What did he mean by it being his "fir

Lucian was staring at his phone, seemingly uninterested. He glanced up briefly and lowered his head."I don't know."Kyros stared intently at him."Do you not …"Before he could finish, the commercial break ended.The host, in her overly enthusiastic tone, shouted, "And, Mr. Mulligan says it's genuine!""The bronze artifact is indeed confusing. It's normal for Claude to have made a mistake. She may be an excellent conservator, but she lacks experience in artifact appraisal. It's easy to find yourself in a deadlock when you stick by the books. "She missed a few subtle details. This bronze piece had a plain surface. Its simplicity is a standard for Kashgar Dynasty vessels. The rust is naturally formed after millennia of precipitation. "Also, take a look at these decorative lines. They're discreetly hidden. You'll miss them if you don't study it closely. Fake decorative lines are generally in more conspicuous places or deliberately polished to look even …" Mr. Mulligan said.Ca

Yara was an easy-going person but she was always careful with her words. She couldn't reveal anything about the possibility of Lucian's return even if it were done subconsciously.She glanced at the person behind her and said impatiently, "Does he not have to support his wife anymore just because he's missing? The tab is right there. He can pay it off once he returns."The lights were dim in the private room. The man didn't notice Yara's displeasure. He thought she was engaging in casual conversation.With how noisy it was, it wasn't out of the ordinary for him to raise his voice."He's been gone for so long. Don't you think he's probably dead by now?""Have you ever paid respects to your forefathers? Do you not ask for blessings to get rich? There are ways to care for your wife while you're still around. There are also ways to care for her even when you're gone. Even without the husband as the breadwinner, he can still ensure the wellbeing of his wife."The man stared at her, to
