Chapter 190
You Hit My Heart
Mufron.
Luther finally settled down his negotiation with Mufron over a real
estate project.
Against all the overseas competitors, he gave up two percentage points
of interest for the entire seaside beach resort and super seven-star
hotel package. Originally it was impossible for him to concede. Perhaps
it might take a few more days, but they would certainly be able to meet
his expectations, since the other party was also quite nervous about the
negotiation.
However, he was so eager to go home this time and did not want to
waste more time on the negotiation.
Casey and Luther came together on a business trip to Mufron, where
negotiations had just ended and the other side had left.
Casey could see that Luther had been distracted, and he couldn't help
but ask, âLuther, is something on your mind. What do you need me to
do?"
Luther looked down at his cell phone. It must be midnight already back
at home. He called Joyce numerous times but she did not answer, and
finally she simply turned off the phone. How dared Joyce not even
answer his call! When he got back, he would certainly teach her a
lesson!
However, in addition to irritation, he had also begun to feel unease. He
thought that things were a bit unusual.
When he heard Casey ask him, he shook his head, "Nothing."
"What a pity that today's negotiations didn't meet our expectations.
Luther, in fact, we can hold out a little longer." Casey was a little upset.
"Huh." Luther laughed coldly, "Sometimes one step back will later lead
to two steps forward. Just wait and see, they think the money is so
easy to earn? In less than a year, I'll make them give back all the extra
profit they got today."
"So you already had plans. That's great!" Casey looked at Luther
admiringly. Luther was decisive, and the R&S Group was only getting
better and better.
Casey finished his papers and lifted his briefcase, knowing that Luther
did not plan for this trip before they left and that Luther must have
Joyce on his mind, so he volunteered, "Luther, I've booked a flight for
tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning we have an appointment with
Professor Williams, who has been looking forward to your visit for a
long time."
Luther was walking while dialing Stephanie's phone number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off.â
His heart was shrouded in greater gloom, panic and an inexplicable
sense of emptiness, which occupied his entire mind and soul.
Maybe, Grandma was just sleeping. He reassured himself.
He wanted to call Jacqueline or Shelly, and when he was ready to
press the button, he didn't feel right. After all, Joyce and Shelly had
gotten into trouble just a few days before. He did not want to continue
to expand the conflict. After all, a family was a family.
Aaron was sent by him to the Capital on an errand these days and was
not in Khebury.
He hesitated and finally dialed Joyce's number again.
It was still off.
"Damn it." He let out a low curse, looking incredibly annoyed.
Inadvertently he slipped in his hands. "Bang!" The phone fell on the
stairs, rolling several times, and coincidentally fell from the gap under
the stairway handrail to the first floor, in pieces.
Casey saw this and was ready to run down the stairs to retrieve the
phone.
Luther reached out an arm to stop Casey. He frowned, and slowly
walked down the stairs. Fortunately it was not high, only three floors.
Soon he walked to the first floor where the phone fell, only to see the
phone in pieces, the battery has fallen off, and the back cover also
popped out.
He crouched down and tried to pick the phone up.
When he just touched the phone, suddenly, there was a stabbing pain
between the fingers. He instinctively retracted his hand, and then look
at his finger, a blood scar clearly visible, and blindingly bright red blood
beads condensed and rolled down. The wound is quite deep.
âLuther, you've cut your finger! We must stop the bleeding first!" Casey
followed, and he whimpered, "The phone screen is broken and there's
broken glass all over the floor. Luther, it's better if I pick it up.â
