Chapter 571

Lucy and Linus chatted happily.After getting to know Linus, Lucy realized that he was quite easy to get along with. He was polite and never crossed the line by asking inappropriate questions. Unlike the fake and disgusting man she had just encountered, Linus’ words carried no lewdness.Lucy asked, “Are you from here?”“Yes, I was born and raised here, a true local.”“I see. I feel like I’ve seen you before…”“Really? I feel the same.” Linus’ eyes showed a hint of suspicion.“Y-You know who I am?”“Of course. You’re the royal princess of Charleston. I’ve seen you in the news before.” Linus stirred his honey tea.“Ah… I thought I had disguised myself well enough, but you still recognized me.”Lucy deliberately wore a pair of black-framed glasses, thinking that no one would recognize her. Since her identity had been made public and she had appeared on television, she would often be recognized in public, which had become quite troublesome.“You just wore a pair of glasses. Of co

Matthew had noticed Lucy long before, but when he saw the man sitting across from her, his expression turned cold.Linus was well-spoken, and he was especially gentlemanly when speaking with Lucy.However, Lucy did not notice Matthew’s expression at all. As soon as she saw him, she happily waved at him.“Matt, I was going to wait for you by the road, but since you told me to wait for you in the café and I just so happened to have a lot of stuff with me, I came here for convenience.”Lucy pointed at the sketchpad and the scattered items on the table. She had indeed brought quite a lot of things with her.Matthew softened his tone a bit when speaking to Lucy, “Why didn’t you ask the butler to send a car for you? How did you manage to bring all this stuff to the beach?”Lucy looked at him playfully. “I told the butler before coming here. I’ve been overworking myself these days and needed to relax, so I brought my sketchpad here.”Matthew caressed her face, ignoring Linus, who was w

"I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, that man would’ve kept bothering me.”Lucy continued expressing her gratitude to Linus, which stirred up jealousy in Matthew.Sometimes, Matthew’s intuition was even more accurate than Lucy’s.Linus responded to Lucy’s repeated thanks, “I told you that it’s no problem. Thank you for the treat earlier. The cappuccino was delicious.”With that, he finished the remaining half cup of cappuccino and left the café.Matthew finally relaxed from his alert state.“Matt, aren’t you tired from driving for so long?” Lucy grabbed Matthew’s hand.“Why don’t we find a place to rest for the night? We can go back tomorrow morning. You’ve had a busy day, so you must be exhausted.”Lucy knew exactly why Matthew was upset and silent. It was all because of Linus.Matthew’s emotions were quite volatile. Once he calmed down, he would realize he had behaved poorly and unlike him. He was usually calm, even when dealing with urgent matters. However, h

Linus returned to his car and lit a cigarette.He was extremely nervous before his first meeting with Matthew, but it turned out differently than expected.Linus’ entire focus was on Matthew’s wife, Lucy.The long-lost sense of familiarity returned, but it was unlike the fleeting and intangible feeling one would experience when dreaming. Linus felt as though he had met Lucy a long time ago.However, amidst his chaotic thoughts and foggy mind, he could not pinpoint exactly when he had seen Lucy. His intuition told him that it was when a fiery warmth had embraced him during his most vulnerable and desperate moments. Unfortunately, since joining Spades, he never experienced that warmth again.Before joining the organization, Linus was a homeless child, orphaned and alone. He spent almost every day sleeping under bridges with the sky as his roof and the ground as his bed. Sometimes, he would scavenge for food with beggars in garbage bins when he was starving.Eventually, his frailty

That was why Linus was able to stand out in the organization, earning the admiration of Daniel. His standing in the organization remained unmatched.Returning to the present day, Linus realized he had not really smoked his cigarette. It had burned down untouched, so he put it out and tossed the stub out of the car window.Watching the distant figures of Lucy and Matthew, he felt a twinge in his heart.Since the moment Linus was born, the word 'loneliness' had been permanently tied to him. No matter how many subordinates he had under his command or how prestigious his standing was in the organization, he always felt lonely because no one truly understood him.If he could go back in time, Linus would not have joined the organization, even though the organization was practically another savior to him.After separating from that little girl, he fell seriously ill and nearly died on the streets. It was Daniel’s men who rescued him and brought him into the organization, saving his life.

Linus did not want to block Gwen’s number because he felt that was too harsh.Although he had been distancing himself from her in recent years, he knew her personality well. If he blocked her number and bumped into her the next day, it would only complicate their situation further.…When Lucy woke up the next morning, she noticed that Matthew was already awake.“Matt, why did you wake up so early?”“It’s not that early anymore, you lazybug. The sun is already high in the sky.”Lucy rubbed her eyes and noticed that the breakfast Matthew ordered was on the table—a ham sandwich and a glass of milk.Lucy was still half-asleep as she spoke groggily, “I slept earlier than you last night even though you’re much busier with work.”“You spent the entire day sketching by the beach yesterday. It must’ve been tiring. You just didn’t realize it. You were obviously lying when you said you weren’t tired at the café yesterday.”Although Lucy went to bed early yesterday, her dark circles were

Back at the company, Matthew had Kent bring him today’s work schedule as usual.“Mr. Leon, today’s workload is even heavier than yesterday, so you might have to work overtime again.”Kent was used to working overtime because as long as there was a chance for a raise, he had no complaints. Matthew had always been generous with employee benefits, offering double pay for overtime, which served as motivation for the employees under him.“Alright… Isn’t Sunrise Group supposed to send someone over today to discuss the Eurovian project with us? Have you done the preparations for that?”“Mr. Leon… That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about today. Last week, we discussed work-related matters and contract details with Sunrise Group, but this morning, their head sent us an email saying they want to have a more in-depth discussion about profit distribution in the contract.”Matthew was getting a little impatient. “Why is the head of Sunrise Group changing their stance now? And just be

Chapter 578

When the head of Sunrise Group received Matthew’s email, he was not surprised at all because the proposed terms were indeed overboard. No one would have accepted them, especially not Leon Corporation.The head of Sunrise Group immediately made a phone call, “Sir, this is Ted Chorley of Sunrise Group. Do you remember the task you gave me?”“Of course.”The voice on the other end sounded old but authoritative. It was none other than Daniel Zimmer.“How did it go?”“Well, we proposed a 50-50 split in the collaboration project with Mr. Leon, but he’s not happy with it. His assistant just sent me an email rejecting our request.”“Very well. Talk to him again and make some concessions.”“Sir, don’t forget our deal. We’d be happy with a 70-30 split in such a large-scale project with Leon Corporation.”Ted was cunning. He knew that the profits from a 70-30 split with Leon Corporation would be sufficient, but the conditions proposed by Daniel were even more enticing than working with Ma

Chapter 579

Daniel was pleased with Linus’ ability to handle significant responsibilities as he no longer needed to worry about the lack of capable successors. However, the overall performance of many newcomers in the organization was still lacking. Some of the older members had not shown outstanding abilities either. They were not even half as good as Linus.The assistant comforted Daniel, “Sir, there’s no need to worry. It’s still early. With more training and experience, someone with unexpected talent might appear one day, perhaps even surpassing Linus!”“You make it sound easy, but it’s incredibly difficult. Not only is Linus fast in completing tasks, but he does them with exceptional quality. He’s good at understanding and manipulating human nature, a quality that others simply can’t replicate. "Even after decades of experience, most people can’t match half of what Linus is capable of. If we randomly pick someone from the organization to compete with Linus in manipulation, few would stand

Chapter 580

With only an hour left before meeting the head of Sunrise Group, Matthew decided to set off from the office after dealing with a pile of documents.Kent had already reminded him three times by now, “Sir, we should leave soon. It might be congested on the way to Stike Hotel.”“Alright… Take these files to the car. I must review and revise them by today.”“Mr. Leon, you don’t have to rush. This is the contract with Mr. Xender, and he isn’t in a hurry.”As soon as Kent finished speaking, he received a sharp glare from Matthew.“Who said he’s not in a hurry? This is important to me, so quickly take these to the car. I don’t need to hear your opinion.”“Yes, of course. My apologies, sir.”Kent was surprised by Matthew’s seriousness. Kent was not wrong as there was no urgent need to complete the documents today. The discussions on the key points of the cooperation could continue until the end of the month, so Kent was confused as to why Matthew was rushing this.Of course, Kent was u
