Luca nodded. Pierre could not bear the common risks that came with transactions as such. She did not expect him
to go so far.
"The boss was so annoyed by him that he taught him a lesson in Russia, thinking he would learn his lesson.
However, after Pierre left Russia, he's been using his network to investigate Abel. He has the boss' contact number,
and Boss felt that things would go down if he let Pierre be. As such, he asked me to deal with the matter," Amur
said.
If Pierre had been obedient, this would not have happened.
"He asked for it..." Luca said softly.
"Yes, if he hadn't continued to dig into Abel, the deal would have ended as such and the boss wouldn't have done
anything," Amur said as he believed that the deal was fair as it was mutually consensual.
All transactions involved risk.
Abel took the risk, and so did Pierre.
The money and the goods had changed hands but Pierre constantly bothered Abel to get a refund, screaming that
the proposal was fake.
The money was in Abel's pocket. It would not be easy to get it back.
Pierre crossed a line.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I see." Luca nodded. She was relaxed to hear that it was Pierre.
After all, Pierre had done a lot of terrible things but got through life scot-free using the Mallory name. He had not
been taking responsibility for his bad behavior.
It made sense that many would hate a man like him...
If Pierre was assassinated under the orders of Abel, the obstacles between Percy and Nina would not be reduced
much but the Mallories would no longer use Mallory Corporation to threaten their relationship.
After all, the Mallories could not cede Mallory Corporation to outsiders or relatives.
"When I arrived at A City, I briefly browsed the latest news so there may be no action taken for the time being. I
have to wait." Amur said.
"Did Abel set a deadline for the mission?" Luca asked.
"No, the Mallories have a great influence in A City. The boss just asked me to handle everything well and not leave a
trail," Amur said.
Luca nodded. She was deep in thought.
It was not the best time to make a move on Pierre. However, if Amur hurt Pierre, it would be like him pissing off half
of the Mallories. "Are you the only one assigned to this mission?"
"Yeah." Amur nodded. His heart softened as he stared at Luca's face which was flushed red because of the cold
wind. When he thought of what Abel had said before, he reminded her, "Also, you have to be careful."
"Huh?" Luca withdrew her gaze and turned to look at him.
"Abel is plotting something. It seems to have something to do with you and Luke," Amur said. He heard whispers
here and there, so the information was not complete. He did not know the specifics of Abel's plan.
"Mm, I will." Luca lowered her gaze slightly. It did not mean Abel had no plans when he was quiet and did not reach
out.
She knew that very well.
"I tried to find out, but I didn't hear anything useful." Although Amur did not want to see Luca and Luke together, he
was always on alert when it came to her.
It was just that Abel was a secretive man.
It was as though he deliberately revealed a bit of information to let him know so that he could tip off Luca.
However, he did not reveal the specific task.
He was like a cat catching a mouse, acting like the person in front of him was a toy to tease.
Luca knew that very well too.
"You won't find out anything. You'll never know if he doesn't want you to know," she said. Luca was not disappointed
that Amur could not find out more.
"Just be careful." Amur looked at her.
He thought that Luca's feelings for Luke should have gotten deeper with his absence for the past few months.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe thought that Eler was right. Luke and Luca were husband and wife. Even though Luca had changed her
appearance, the bond would still be there.
Luca would still care about Luke.
Luke would also be unconsciously attracted to Luca. That was the law of mutual attraction.
No one could stop it.
"I know." Luca let out a long sigh. She felt a sense of relief knowing what Abel was up to.
She looked at him and said, "Tina hasn't been doing well."
Amur frowned and let out a long sigh when he heard Tina's name.
"What's up with her?"
When she heard Amur's cold tone, Luca knew that he was not overthinking like Tina was.
"Her mood has been terrible because you left without saying goodbye," Luca said politely. She wanted to let him
know that Tina was going through a rough patch because of him.
The decision rests with Amur on whether he would go see her.
Amur was not that stupid. He must have noticed something. He should know about Tina's feelings toward him.
"Don't tell her that I'm back in A City." Amur kept silent for a while and finally made a decision.
"Okay." Luca sighed. She already knew that Amur's decision would be such.
