chapter 150

That's too soon. So only a week until Boss and Lucy can be together. After that, he has to…Naturally, the Taylor family was more than happy with this announcement. "Thank you, Old Madam. We are grateful to you. We will immediately start with the preparations.""Kathy," she called out and stared at her with a serious countenance."Yes, Old Madam."She wasn't allowed to call her Grandma. The Old Madam wanted everybody to address her with her title."I want you to be on your best behavior on that day. You should act accordingly like the daughter-in-law of the Wilson family. You will not do anything to embarrass us or there will be heavy repercussions on your family."Kathy felt the maddening pressure on her with her words. She gracefully smiled. "Rest assured, Old Madam. I will not do anything to embarrass the Jiang family."The Old Madam stared straight at Frank and said, "I don't need to say that he should be present in his own engagement ceremony, right?""No, Old Madam! Boss will be present."She sneered and left the hall. Since the discussion was over, the rest of the Wilson family left as well while the Taylor family were escorted out.Elvis gracefully got up and was about to leave when Frank called out. Master Wilson!"Felix coldly said, "Master is busy now. Don't bother him. Do I need to teach you this now?"Frank respectfully said, "No, Sir. I know the rules. But I really need to have a word with him."Elvis glanced at him. "In my study."In his study room, Elvis signaled him to continue as he took his seat. Felix stepped back. "Don't take much time."Frank paused to gather his thoughts. He slowly raised his head and faced him. "Master Wilson. Will you... please help cancel this engagement?"---At college, as soon as the test got over, Molly came sobbing to her best friend's side. "Lucy! You have to listen to me! Last night I faced hell! I met a demon! Demons do exist!"But Lucy had no time to hear her sad story. "Sorry Yaya. I really need to head somewhere. It's important."Molly dramatically clutched her chest and accusingly said, "You! Your friend was tortured by a demon here and you got no time to console her?" She fumed and pouted.Lucy grinned and hugged her. "Sorry Yaya. But if this wasn't so important, I would have listened to your story leisurely having popcorn."Molly glared at her and smacked her hard. "What is so important? The test is also done."Lucy turned grim as she thought of her sister.Mark and I have to quickly find out about that Mafia King and investigate him."Sorry Yaya. I cannot tell you for now. But I have to leave. Bye!"---"What did you find out?" Lucy asked as she kept her bag and sat beside Mark who had his laptop running on the table."There are three most suspicious companies," he said as he took a sip from his coffee mug. "The CEO of E.S Corps got a sudden huge investment from some unknown sources that have increased their share price. It can be said that some shady deal is going on.Lucy nodded."Enigma Steel has some of its employees selling raw materials illegally and secretly through the mafia channels to other countries to make a profit."She grimaced."And EBV Chemicals is the same. My informant has heard from the grapevine that the oldie managers there are selling some dangerous chemicals in exchange for an exorbitant price. These chemicals are mainly used to make bombs but even deadlier."Lucy was horrified. "What? How could they do this!?""Money runs the world. There is no end to greed."She gritted her teeth.How shameless!Mark had also investigated other companies but they came out clean except that he couldn't shake his mind off EW Industries. It seemed as if even if they had any connections to the Mafia, it was very well hidden. Their image and background were so clean that nobody could doubt them.But his instinct told him to keep EW Industries on his radar. Lucy confidently said to keep Eric out of the loop. But he didn't. He was secretly going on with his investigation.Lucy said, "That means that sis is investigating from one of these companies."He nodded. "For sure.""How will we narrow down into one?"Mark leaned back on his couch. "We have to give some sort of a bait."She blinked her eyes. "Bait?""Yeah. If Luca Hale is connected to any of these companies, one of them will react and make a mistake in exposing themselves."
