Marcos covered his forehead with his hands and replied with a weak voice, “Sure.” “They can hold their alcohol well.” Another drunken executive muttered to himself. On the other hand. After the others followed the butler and left, Luke accidentally lost his balance and staggered.Luca helped him up immediately and said, “Mr. Crawford, be careful.” As the CEO of T Corporation, Luke was toasted with the most during the party, and he was the one who drank the most among them.“I’m fine.” Luke shot a glance at Luca. Fortunately, he had taken Luca’s pill before coming to the party. Otherwise, he would be lying on the floor by now.They headed to the entrance of the living room. As Matysh walked toward them, his eyes brightened up the moment he saw Luca. A beautiful woman like her did exist! Looking at how she was nicely dressed up, he knew that she came to attend the party. However, he had been busy entertaining different types of guests at the party. How could he not have
“What a monster!” Rage was burning inside Luca at the thought of those innocent women who had fallen into Matysh’s trap. They could not seek justice because they were afraid of his power. Luca had this urge to teach Matysh a lesson and make sure he got what he deserved. Unfortunately, her days in Russia were numbered. Otherwise, she would have come up with a plan and fought for justice on behalf of those women. Luke explained to her when he noticed Luca's expression, "So, M Group was supposed to appoint Matysh to be their CEO based on seniority. But his family members were unhappy with all the things that he did. Besides, he didn't have any descendants. Hence, he was only asked to return to the company to take over M Group when Marcos had just graduated from university.”Marcos was a capable man, but no matter how outstanding he was, his status in the family was lower due to his mother’s humble upbringing. If it were not for Matysh’s wrongdoings, Marcos would not have had the
The following day.Luca was packing her luggage in the hotel room as they would be traveling back to the capital tonight. The doorbell rang. Luca recalled that the makeup artist had told her that she would be coming over to bring the dress and jewelry back. Hence, she walked out of her room.She coincidentally ran into Luke. “It’s the makeup artist,” Luca took the initiative to explain to him."Okay." Luke nodded. Carrying his cup, he walked into the kitchen. Luca went to open the door. Three people were standing outside the door. There was the makeup artist and her assistant. She did not know the other woman, but she looked familiar to her.“Ms. Aisha, this is Ms. Craw.” The makeup artist introduced Aisha to Luca once Luca opened the door. Aisha was shocked after they handed Luca’s photo to her last night. The expression on her face was exactly how it was on their faces the moment they saw Luca in that dress. Aisha muttered to herself after being shocked, “I didn’t expec
Aisha looked at Luca with confidence. The makeup artist told her that Luca loved the dress, and she was willing to pay a high price to purchase the dress. That was why Aisha used it as a bargaining chip to get the chance to cooperate with Luca.Luca frowned when Aisha just could not stop pestering her. Then, she declined and said, “I’m sorry. I’m going back to my country today. Please bring back the dress and the jewelry.” The dress was beautiful, but it was only a piece of clothing to her. It was not something irreplaceable.Aisha refused to give up and insisted, “We have a branch office in your country. We can hold the photoshoot there if it’s possible.” Luca secretly let out a sigh. How could this woman not give up no matter how hard she tried to reject her? The makeup artist beside Aisha felt that Aisha was trying too hard. No matter how hard she tried to convince Luca, Luca had no intention of becoming her model. “Ms. Aisha, why don’t we—”Aisha glanced at her impatie
On the other side of the manor.Mr. Valentin informed Marcos of the news about Matysh asking someone to investigate Luca.Marcos’ eyes darkened. Matysh did not listen to his advice. Mr. Valentin realized Marcos was keeping silent and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Marcos, should we stop Master Matysh?”“Who would be able to stop him?” Marcos’ tone was filled with disgust. Other than the elders in the family, no one could stop Matysh.However, no one in the family would care about Matysh’s ridiculous behavior. After all, they were proud and stubborn, thinking that they were still living in an era where having a strong and wealthy family background meant they could dominate everything. Even if what Matysh did was wrong, they would let him do whatever he wanted because of his status. Marcos had no right to speak no matter how much money he had earned for this family. It became clear to Marcos that he was little more than a money-making machine for this family. The reason was simple.
“It’s not a big deal.” Matysh did not say anything about his interest in Luca. After all, that woman was Marcos’ business partner. He had to keep it a secret without letting the old master, who put benefits and interests before everything, find out about it. The old master was able to guess what his son was thinking about. “Who caught your attention this time?”Matysh looked up and glanced at the old master, saying indifferently, “Dad, I know my boundaries.” "You're getting older. Why don't you settle down, get married, and raise a chubby grandson for me?" said Old Master Abaza. He knew Matysh and him were the same kind of people.Although Matysh was playful, he would take his future wife’s status and background seriously. That was why Old Master Abaza was not worried that he would be like Marcos’ father who married a commoner. “I’m not ready yet. Dad, stop talking about this,” replied Matysh. Marriage could take his freedom away. So far, he had never fallen in love or though
Luke did not say a word while he looked at Luca who was quietly closing her eyes and resting. After traveling with Luca a few times, Luke could feel that Luca was especially quiet when she was beside him. Luca would take the chance to get some rest once she got into the mode of transport when they were traveling long distances. Luke took his eyes off her.The stewardess started to distribute the meals to the passengers after the plane had reached its cruising altitude as compensation for the flight delay. Luke made a silent hand gesture when he watched the stewardess carrying the tray and walking toward him. The stewardess noticed the woman beside him was taking a nap with a blanket covered over her. She secretly complimented him for his consideration of the woman next to him. Then, she handed the menu to Luke. Luke shook his head to tell her that he did not need it. The stewardess nodded and continued to ask the next passenger. The flight took almost ten hours. An annou
Luca sighed when she heard what Uncle Zander said. She was not a qualified mother. The children’s affection and their thought of longing to see Luca again would only end up in vain.Uncle Zander noticed that Luke and Luca were not talking to each other, so he added, "Young Master Blanche, Young Master Tommy, and Ms. Rainie have been behaving themselves. When they talk to Old Master Crawford, they’d always ask about Young Master Luke’s recovery and when the two of you were returning.”Luca’s heart was filled with bitterness while listening to Uncle Zander’s chatters. She could only conceal her feelings and smile as she went along with Uncle Zander, saying, “They probably miss Mr. Crawford more.”Luke raised his brows. She had no idea that the kids had already found out about her true identity, and that was why she would say something like this. Luca did not know that if the kids were to choose between him and Luca, they would always be on her side, not his.Luke and Luca got out
