chapter 182

She opened the door and quickly ran away, leaving Eric standing frozen on his spot for a long time. The temperature then rapidly dipped as the fury within him rose.Mark. Mark. Mark…Everywhere, every time it's only your name. This is enough now. I cannot let you interfere any more than this.With a deadpan expression, he picked his phone. "Bring Mark to me."---The day quickly got over but Lucy and Mark got no answers about the Mafia King from the remaining suspicious companies. They had a few Underworld connections for sure, but they had nothing to do with the Mafia King or Luca Hale.Lucy sat on the bench, feeling dead tired. "Now, what? Are there any more companies left that start with W?"Mark silently stared at her. "The company that you refused to let me investigate. Willson Industries."Lucy froze. Eric's handsome face flashed past her mind and his engagement's truth that she had forgotten until now because of the investigation resurfaced."I told you. Willson Industries cannot be a Mafia family at all.""And I don't understand why you are so sure. Maybe you are in love with the CEO?" He raised his brow.Lucy stiffened."Aha! Bingo!"Lucy glared at him. "It's got nothing to do with my feelings. I have met Boss and have talked to him a lot of times. He cannot be the Mafia King!"He snorted. "You are totally being biased. Nobody will write it on their foreheads if they are the Mafia King or not. You cannot be blinded by your feelings. Even if you have talked to him a few times, he isn't obligated to tell you the truth. Your guarantee doesn't work here. Plus, I always feel that something is off with that company. It's too clean for its own good."She righteously said, "Because Boss is an honest man."Mark chuckled. "I wonder how you survived the world until now. No company is pure white. Everybody does shady dealings. Especially CEOs of such large corporations always have some Underworld connections."Luct fumed. "Fine! If you are so hell-bent on proving my Boss guilty, then try it. You will get nothing! Hmph. You will only waste time and if anything happens to sis Luca, then I will kill you!""I have already started my investigation. Our best bet is Willson Industries now, and I am sure this won't be a gamble."She gritted her teeth and got up. "It's useless talking to you. Call me when you will be done finding any hypothetical clues about Boss."As she left, Mark sighed and shook his head.Really a dumb woman…As he walked back towards his home, he stopped midway and narrowed his eyes. He immediately felt the change in the atmosphere. The air blew differently.Somebody's watching me.
