Luca recalled what Luke had previously said to Sarah, implying that if she had these things on hand, she should hand them over to Marcos, who would know how to handle it.It turned out such a thing really existed.However, Luca immediately understood. Sarah was just a regular person from an ordinary family. Even if she had 'stained' the Abaza family, which valued bloodlines, it should not have led to her dodging their pursuit every day.“Maybe Ms. Poplar saw Matysh's conviction and became determined to bring it out. Such crucial evidence needs to be taken seriously," said Luca.“Yes, I've already used some issues with our M Group collaboration as a reason and arranged for Marcos to come over tomorrow afternoon,” replied Luke. After setting a time with Sarah, he did the same with Marcos.Marcos could guess what Sarah wanted to give him, so he readily agreed.He even staged a little drama in front of Ethan, letting him know that he would be going to T Corporation tomorrow afternoon
If things did not end well, Ethan would be just like Marco's mother, Sarah. If he did not resolve the problem, he would be hunted down forever.Ethan shuddered.Marcos deliberately looked surprised. “Didn't you already report to the Russians? Why do you look like this? Don't they know about your fatal mistake?”Ethan opened his mouth to deny it, but facing Marcos' mocking expression, he suddenly realized that his future was now in Marcos' hands.He could not do anything to Marcos.He knew his most fatal mistake. If his men had not found Gordan, Luke would not have known they were going to get Matysh out.Even though this was the case in theory, Ethan felt that Marcos must have also told Luke. It was just that he had no evidence.“That's right. It's such a fatal mistake. If the old master finds out, not only will you lose your job, but you might even lose your life,” Marcos said casually. He sat comfortably on the couch and looked up at Ethan, who remained standing stiffly.It w
Ethan returned to his suite. He could not help but kick the door in frustration. His foot hurt, but the door remained unscathed, fueling his simmering anger. His expression darkened.The suite was eerily quiet as Ethan slumped onto the couch, his throbbing foot a constant reminder of the harsh reality. Marcos' earlier threat rang true. The person he despised most in the Abaza family had just threatened him, which made Ethan feel uneasy. Even if he had to keep it from the old master, he had to inform his father.His father was the only one who could help him to deal with this matter.With that thought in mind, Ethan reached for his phone, intending to call his father. However, it rang before he could dial. It was a call from his father himself.No time to marvel at the synchronicity, Ethan answered, “Dad, I was just about to call you.”“Shut up!” The voice on the other end of the line sounded furious.Ethan bit back his words. The tone did not bode well. He felt appreh
“I…” Ethan wanted to explain, but he realized he could not.No matter who it was, they would doubt him after hearing what he said. Thus, he could not explain. No matter what the outcome was, it was still his mistake.“How am I supposed to explain this to the old master?” asked Ethan's father.“I... I don't know.” Ethan was confused and did not know what to do.Hiding the truth from the head of the family was definitely not a good idea. If they kept it hidden and waited for Marcos to reveal it, Ethan would be in deeper trouble.“Does Marcos know about this?” asked Ethan's father. He thought that if Marcos did not know, they might still have a chance to fix it.At least Gordan would not tell the head of the family. Those people would not be that petty. However, Marcos was different.“He knows.” Ethan's tone was dejected. He dared not to tell his father that it was Marcos who had informed him.The person on the other end of the line seemed to be struggling to hold back his anger
“I took these documents with me, so I knew they'd be anxious and worried. Because of that, they would treat Marcos better.“Even if they still manipulate Marcos like a pawn, as long as Marcos is in their hands, I can't risk exposing these documents. “I dared not to expose them back then, but it was for the best. At least Marcos can grow up under better conditions. But he will now use these documents to confront M Group. That’s why I'm making this request of you…”“I understand.” Luke nodded. As a father of four children himself, he could understand Sarah's thoughts.“I give you my promise,” added Luke as he opened the brown envelope.Under Sarah's watchful gaze, Luke quickly read through the documents page by page. Sarah also explained the details to him.Finally, after Luke finished reading the letter Sarah had written to Marcos, he let out a deep sigh.How dirty could a century-old family be?It was beyond his imagination. Sarah was involved from the start and had managed to
Some grudges had to be etched into memory, lest the trivialities of life wear them away.Marcos knew what Sarah's past life was like. When he saw the worn marks on the documents, his expression darkened.“I need to ask you a favor,” said Marcos as he turned to look at Luke.“Go ahead.” Luke nodded, more than willing to help. They both needed each other's help at times, so refusing was not an option.“I need you to keep these documents safe for me until I return to Russia.” Marcos thought of Ethan, who was staying in the same hotel as him and even brazenly installed surveillance in his suite. If he took the documents back, they would easily be discovered.“Sure, no problem. You can trust T Corporation’s security. No one can access the items in my safe," Luke replied.He had one of the world's most advanced safes, and it was not easy for anyone to unlock it.“Thank you,” said Marcos, opening the documents slowly.Luke did not say anything further. He took a sip of his coffee an
The head nurse hurried back to the nurses' station. Abraham was still there filling out forms. When the head nurse saw him, she quickly asked, “Dr. Wood, what happened to Mr. Mallory just now? Why is he filing a complaint?”“Let him complain. It doesn't matter.” Abraham paused for a moment. After he signed his name, he handed the form to the nurse. “Let him complain all he wants. He's always snapping at anyone he catches. I've never seen such a difficult patient.”The other nurses nodded in agreement.“I'm scared of him too. He's terrifying. If I have to deal with him a couple more times, I'd rather go back to my original department,” said a young nurse.“Oh, don't say that. You rarely come to this floor. You’ll have to stick it out,” replied the head nurse. Then, she said in a low voice, “He's getting discharged anyway.”“He's getting discharged? It'll be a long wait!” The young nurse frowned. Typically, other patients with fractures would go home after having stitches removed
“But I don't want them to get married just like that," Karen muttered those words as she clenched her teeth. “Father, you must have a way to handle this.”“What can I do? It's your child. If you can't manage your own child, how do you expect an old man like me to help? How ridiculous you are!” Old Master Mallory's words made Karen's face flush with embarrassment and anger.The truth was, neither of them had a solution.After watching Old Master Mallory leave, Karen slammed the door shut. She immediately called one of her subordinates. “How's the situation coming along?”“Ma'am, it's proving difficult to kidnap Luca," reported the person on the other end. “Our guys found out that Luca has a driver driving her to and from work every day, and the driver is one of Luke’s men. He’s a real tough guy. Plus, Luca herself isn’t easy to mess with. She knows how to throw a punch too.” The man had done his homework.Since this matter involved Luke, they had to proceed with caution.“What's
