Chapter 2294 Revenge On Marie

Author: Heap Heap
“That’s your own problem. My only obligation is to take care of Mom, not you.” Nina hung up the phone and told him firmly that it was impossible for him to try to get money from her.

Jean gripped the phone in his hands tightly with murderous eyes as he listened to the busy tone on the other end of the call.

With his stomach in constant pain, he had no other choice but to call Pierre.

After the phone rang six times, Pierre’s tirade could be heard. “What’s the matter with you? Why are you calling so early?”

Jean recoiled and apologized in a hurry. “I’m sorry, Mr. Pierre, but I have a favor to ask you.”

“If you have something to say, spit it out.” Pierre was impatient. If he were not Nina’s brother, he would not even go close to people like him.

“Uhh… All my money got stolen. Can you lend me some temporarily?” Jean bit the bullet and asked him for money, hoping that he would help him solve this urgent matter for the sake of Nina.

“It’s none of my f*cking business if your money got

    It was just a thought, though. Jean still refused to work.He crossed his legs while sitting on the couch, then he looked at the receptionist and asked, “Do you have anything to eat or drink here?”“Yes, Mr. Langdon. Have a seat while I go prepare something for you,” the receptionist said politely.Jean nodded arrogantly as he was just here for the money, but unexpectedly, he could freeload on some food too.After a while, the receptionist brought a cup of coffee and some snacks over.Jean ignored the receptionist’s gaze as he grabbed the snacks and ate them right away. Although they were small, they still tasted great. Just a few more of these would be enough to fill him up.When the receptionist saw Jean wolfing down the food as if he had not eaten for days, she frowned slightly and brought more snacks over after some consideration.The company’s purchasing department had bought these snacks to entertain the guests. They were quite pricey because practically everyone who came

    “Lend you money?” Percy raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this was Jean’s true motive.His tone sounded like he was reluctant to lend him money, so Jean had to summon up the courage and say, “Mr. Mallory, even if one provides clues to the police, one will still get an informer’s fee. Although you already know that Marie was the one who betrayed Nina, I still intended to tell you anyway, so there has to be an informer’s fee, right?”“How much do you want?” Percy did not agree. Instead, he answered him with a question.“Isn’t that up to you? How much do you think Nina is worth?” Jean rubbed his hands together and gestured to Percy.“Nina is a priceless treasure. She can’t be compared to a woman like Marie,” said Percy with a cold gaze. He picked up his phone and instructed his assistant, “Come in.”The door to the reception room was pushed open.Jean was worried that Percy was going to chase him out until he heard him say, “Give Mr. Langdon a hundred dollars in cash.”A hund

    “Okay, I will.” Luca nodded. She looked closely at Nina’s expression and asked, “Nina, did something happen?”Nina asked in surprise, “How did you know?”“It’s written all over your face.” Luca gestured at her by pointing to her own face.Nina had been frowning since just now, so she must have encountered something unpleasant. When Luca observed her face, she was able to tell.Moreover, she had been friends with Nina for so many years. How could she not know?“Yeah, something happened.” Nina forced a smile.“How about we make a trip to the cafe next door?” Luca invited her as she reckoned that Nina needed a place to vent her feelings right now.“No, I shouldn’t disturb your work…” Nina shook her head. Even though she did have the urge to get it off her chest, how could she hold up Luca’s work?“I took a leave, and my throat is aching, so I want some lemon tea,” said Luca as she held Nina’s hand and walked out. Nina had no choice but to follow her.Both of them made it to the

    “Yes, you told me. How else would I know?” Luca insisted and took a sip of her lemon tea to hide her guilt.“Really? Maybe I forgot…” Nina had no recollection of her telling Luca those things.However, she had complained to her about Jean a lot, so she suspected that she had said so much that she forgot what she even said.“I guess so. You’ve been working too hard lately, so it’s only normal that you don’t remember little details like these,” Luca said as she sipped on her lemon tea with her straw while lowering her gaze.The two of them continued to sit there and sip on their tea.Nina told Luca about many other things until someone’s phone rang, which made their conversation come to an abrupt end. Luca glanced at the caller to see that it was Queenie.“I’ll take this call,” she said to Nina before answering the phone. “What is it, Mrs. Norman?”“Luca, what’s wrong with your voice?” Queenie noticed that her voice was a little raspy.“I have a cold. Is everything alright?” Lu

    Rhett noticed that other than her voice being a little hoarse, she seemed perfectly fine, so he did not say anything.Besides, Luca was their superior. If she said it was fine, as subordinates, they only had to follow orders.After taking a seat, Luca was about to check the data when a researcher came into the laboratory with a thick stack of documents. The researcher walked up to her. “Dr. Craw, the data from phase three of the clinical trials is out.”“So soon?” Luca took the stack. She thought that the data would only be done after the new year.“Yes, they’re speeding things up because it’s the end of the year, which is why they sent us the data now,” said the researcher.“Okay, I’ll look at it later. If possible, let’s have a meeting at three o’clock.” Luca put the documents aside and planned to look through them during lunch.If there was nothing wrong with the data, they could start preparing for the launching of the drug.“Alright, I’ll have Ms. Davis prepare the meeting

    Luke handed her the rice. “Don’t think too much about it. Eat first.”Luca looked at him properly. “Mr. Crawford, aren’t you worried?”Although she was the one who betrayed the data and information in Dr. Albus’ case, this general manager did not seem to have good intentions at the time either. However, she was quicker to make a move, so it did not have much to do with him.“When the time comes, some people will let the cat out of the bag, but until then, what do you think he’ll do?” Luke asked.“Oh no…” Luca stood up.“What is it?” Luke tilted his head slightly to look at her nervous expression.“I suspect that someone in my research group is helping the general manager, but I already had Ms. Davis print out the data report of phase three of the clinical trials. Now, everyone has a copy in their hands,” Luca said.Luke put down his utensils slowly. He was not concerned about the data at first, but after seeing how concerned Luca was, she would not be able to eat in peace if he

    “Your worries have been settled now, so just eat,” said Luke.Luca had to stop bringing it up as she knew that talking about it more did not mean that he would take action.…The lunch break was over.Luca then prepared for the meeting about the drug launch with the researchers.Before the meeting started, she scanned through the data and found out that it was much better than expected.Most of it was Shank’s blood, sweat, and tears, so of course, it would work out well.Just as Luca entered the meeting room, Zoey came over to report, “Dr. Craw, there’s an important meeting at Watson that you have to attend.”“When?” She asked.“An hour from now,” Zoey replied.“So urgent?” Luca frowned as one hour was just enough time for her to get there. If it was really an important meeting, they would have notified her in advance.Without any advance notice, it was just an urgent meeting at most.Luca then linked this meeting to the phone call she received from the general manager this

    Before Rhett could ask any further, the general manager walked in with his gaze locked on Luca.Luca met his eyes for a moment, then averted her gaze to look at the computer screen.Dr. Linwood looked at the general manager with a frown on his face.The reason why he asked Luca about phase three of clinical trials data was because of the general manager.His clinical research always did not perform well, so the general manager talked to him alone and asked him to learn from Luca’s clinical research data. Although it was a different type of drug, he thought that he could still learn something from it, so he agreed.Dr. Linwood was quite happy at first as he had one more piece of data to learn from, which would help him in his research.However, after Luca’s reminder, Dr. Linwood felt that something was not right as the data was crucial for the drug launch.The general manager sat on the chairman's seat and discussed the meeting agenda.“I gathered everyone here because the year

    When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside had already darkened slightly.Luca mumbled, feeling the warmth beside her. She instinctively curled closer. “What time is it?”“It's a little past five.” Luke gently rubbed her back, offering a quiet comfort to help her feel at ease.Since he could not be there beside her, he could only make these small gestures to bring her some peace of mind.“An entire afternoon just passed like that…” Luca was reluctant to leave at the moment. Her slender fingers lightly pressed against his chest.Luke took her hand in his, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss, holding it as if it were something precious and tenderly stroking it.Luca's hands had once been delicate and smooth, but during their time in the small villa, they had become much rougher.“You've got calluses.” Luke felt sorry for her.Luca gently traced her finger over his lips, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on him. “It’s just from the needlework and the experiments I’ve been d

    Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. “I think I’ll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”Gordan’s face fell. “Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?”Luca pretended not to know anything. “Doing what on purpose?”Gordan quickly shook his head. “Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke’s been waiting for you.”Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn’t refuse.”“Sure, no problem. What do you need?” Gale agreed immediately.After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan’s arm. “Let’s go. We should leave and give the boss and Ms. Cr

    The security guard remained completely unfazed.This was because the village chief was his uncle, and in their tight-knit community, they always stuck together and never favored outsiders.With directions from the people inside the ancestral hall, Hera found the village chief.“You’re the village chief, right?” Hera looked at the man in his fifties in front of her and spoke with an arrogant tone, completely unbothered.“And you are?” The village chief, seeing her attitude, was puzzled. He had no idea whether she was an investor or someone looking to discuss a major partnership to bring development to their quiet village.“It doesn’t matter who I am. I see you have surveillance here, and I need to review your footage,” replied Hera.The village chief was even more confused. “Are you a police officer?”“No.” Hera frowned. She thought reviewing surveillance footage was no big deal. Why was this village chief being so difficult?The village chief gave her a look as if she were a fo

    “Wait a little longer. By the way, what kind of ancestral hall is this?” asked Hera.“It's a local family's ancestral hall. I heard it's been designed by the owner of a large company, and now it's also one of the tourist attractions.” The taxi driver was not from around here, so he did not know all the details, but he knew it had become a popular spot. “Now, thanks to the reputation of that boss, many architects come here as one of their reference points.”Hera frowned deeper. What was Luca doing here?The driver suggested, “If you're interested in sightseeing, the attractions inside are pretty good. But for outsiders, they charge an entrance fee. Maintenance costs a lot of money, so they charge tourists from outside.”“I'm not here for sightseeing,” replied Hera, “Don't worry. I'll pay you for however long I stay here. You’ll get your money.”The driver heard that she was paying, and did not press her further and remained quiet.Hera stared at the entrance of the ancestral hall,

    Hera let out a cold sneer, feeling that Gerald's apology was not sincere.Hera did not want to press the issue at the moment. She gave him a sharp look. “Come with me.”Gerald knew that Hera was up to something again. If it were a normal order, she would have just said it in the living room. Whenever she called him aside, it meant whatever she had to say could not be overheard by others.Reluctantly, Gerald followed her out.It was midday, and as soon as Hera stepped out of the living room, a wave of heat hit her face.The intense warmth made her feel uncomfortable.Hera got straight to the point, turning to Gerald. “What did Luca say to you just now?”“She just asked me to help keep an eye on the volunteer,” Gerald answered honestly. This was not something that needed to be kept secret.Hera frowned. “Is she going out”Gerald hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to say anything.“I’m talking to you, not the wall. Are you mute?” Hera threatened. “If you lie to me, I’ll te

    Gordan was puzzled. At most, it was just brotherly camaraderie. After all, they had been through thick and thin together. Their bond might be stronger than usual, but falling in love? That was a bit of a stretch.Luke said, “The way you acted just now, doesn't really seem 'straight' to me. Also, if you're into women, maybe you should consider finding one. Otherwise, if you're always single, people might start misinterpreting your feelings for me.”“Luke, actually, you're not bad at all. In fact, you're probably better than a lot of women,” Gordan replied with a sly grin.As a man himself, he honestly thought Luke was a great guy. If he were a woman, he would be utterly captivated by him.“Shut up!” Luke knew he was joking, but he still felt a chill run down his spine. He seriously worried that Gordan might do something inappropriate when he turned his back on him.Shivering from the thought, Luke put down his glass and headed upstairs.Gordan let out a deep sigh.The night w

    “Anyway, I'm saying it here—I'm not going to Russia because of that ugly woman, Vivian. If I go to Russia, it's for you. I've already divorced her. Besides, I’m already trying to avoid her, how could I possibly go to Russia for her?” Gordan took a sip of red wine, then continued his rant. “And, Ray is still in Russia. I really can't go. His men are all brutal, and I've had enough of being beaten all these years.”“Then why did you buy an apartment in Vivian's neighborhood?” Luke continued to tease him. His sharp eyes glinted with intelligence.Gordan denied it, but whether he believed it or not was his own business.“It was just a coincidence!” Gordan raised his voice, trying to convince Luke.Or maybe himself.“Coincidence?” Luke sipped his wine, every gesture as graceful as a nobleman.“Of course, it’s a coincidence, Brother Luke. You wouldn’t know, but that apartment is in a school district, surrounded by college towns. There are a ton of hotties there, I picked the place just

    As Luca listened to his tone that was full of regret, she felt a slight pang in her heart. She recalled when she had a child and continued pursuing her education. If she had given up on herself back then, perhaps she and Luke would not find themselves here today.Luca felt she was much more fortunate than the volunteer. Even though she loved her father, she also understood the importance of education and did not let her father’s illness cause her to give up. She was also fortunate to have a father who supported her education.At the thought of this, Luca could not help but ask, “Do you regret it?”“No, I don’t regret it,” the volunteer smiled. “Actually, I always look at it in a positive light. Back then, several boys in my class liked her. If I hadn’t confessed, she might have become someone else’s girlfriend. If there’s anything I regret over the years, it’s that I was too selfish and it affected her studies.“I never thought that being in a relationship at a young age would

    As Luca thought about it, she heard the volunteer exclaim, “With a wife like you, your husband must be so lucky and blessed.”Luca shook her head. To her, being cherished by Luke was a real blessing.“You’ve got it wrong. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”Luca had often wondered what her life would have been like without Luke.Perhaps she would have married Jean, only to watch his true nature slowly reveal itself. She would have struggled, eventually unable to endure it, and maybe even ended up divorced.It could be something worse. She might have been taken advantage of, lost all hope, and spiraled downward...Anything was possible.However, Luca knew that no matter what happened, life would not be as good as it was now without Luke.Though she remained under someone else’s control, and life on the Island of Despair was fraught with hardship, with Luke by her side, she felt an unshakable courage.A light laugh from the volunteer interrupted her thoughts.Luca
