chapter 184

Eric was apathetic the whole time as he had propped his elbow on the armrest and stared straight at him without much change in his expression. But beneath his indifference, he held a storm in his heart that refused to calm down.Mark didn't back down from the staring competition either. He challenged him head-on.Eric Willson. The only man left for me to investigate and whose chances of being the Mafia King are the highest, Mark thought.He smiled. "CEO Willson. What a pleasure to meet you again. I am sorry we couldn't talk much at the bar. But this is sure one nice way of greeting me to continue our conversation."Eric didn't respond."Such insolence!"One of the four men kicked on his knee and forced him to kneel. "Don't talk to Boss unless he allows you to or there will be no next time!"Mark didn't bother with the pain that shot up in his knee.There was silence for a long time before Eric finally parted his lips to speak. "What is your motive in approaching Lucy?"Mark slightly narrowed his eyes.Lucy Hale? Why is he asking about her?"I don't understand, CEO Willson.""You understand it very well," Eric quietly said, "Why are you meeting her so frequently these days is what I want to know."Mark failed to grasp the context of this conversation. He thought he would grill him about Luca, but here he was asking about her sister.He slowly asked, "And why do you want to know that?"The leader kicked him in the stomach hard. "Don't dare question Boss! You will only answer you piece of shit!"Eric raised his palm that signaled him to retreat. The leader respectfully took a step back.Mark held his stance. Eric said, "I have every right to know. She is my woman after all."This was the first time that there was a visible change in Mo Huojin's expression. The words rang in his ears."Your woman? Who?""Lucy."Huh?Mark was dumbstruck. "Excuse me? Who is your woman once again?"Eric felt irked at that question, but more at his disbelief as if he was lying. "I don't repeat myself."Mark's head was spinning in confusion."Lucy is your woman as in your girlfriend?"He said nothing. But Eric's silence led him to believe that he was agreeing to it.
