"What kind of relationship?" Pierre was so angry that he was no longer rational.
He lost a lot of money, and the unexpected results made him lose his mind. He could not vent at Luke, so he had to find Abel.
Hera rolled her eyes and wondered if Pierre was stupid or acted with intention!
"It's the kind of relationship where he would come to me occasionally and give me pocket money." She did not make things too
clear because she wanted to save her dignity.
At the same time, she did not want to show that she was close with Abel. After all, he had so many enemies. She did not want to
get in trouble.
Pierre understood and sneered. He saw Hera as an escort who was willing to do anything as long as there was money involved.
"What are you laughing at?" Hera was annoyed. His laughter was full of contempt. How dare he think of her as an escort?
"You're such an arrogant escort. What's wrong with me laughing at you?" Pierre said grimly. He thought of her as a woman who
could be bought with money.
There were a lot of women as such.
"You!" Hera was so angry. She was thinking about how to fight back when she heard him say, "I'll make you an offer for you to
help me find Abel."
"You're delusional!" Hera yelled into the phone. She turned him down without thinking about it.
"20,000." Pierre offered her in a cold tone.
Hera was stunned. He went straight to 20,000 for the first offer. He seemed to be rich, but she could not find Abel even if she
wanted to. "I can't find him."
"400,000," Pierre continued. He had spent so much on the proposal, so he did not care about money now. He just wanted to find
Abel and teach him a lesson!
Hera was tempted by the jump.
This was were 400,000 on the line if she could find him...
"You're looking for Abel? I can try, but I may not be able to find him. I need a deposit. The deposit will not be refunded if I can't
find him." Hera shifted her eyes, her mind spinning fast.
She might not be able to find Abel, so she added a condition.
"How much is the deposit?" Pierre asked impatiently.
"Just 20 percent. If I find him, you can pay the remaining 80 percent." Hera did not hide how greedy she was.
"I can give it to you," Pierre said. "However, if you're not serious about helping me find him, just you wait."
He knew her phone number and could locate her in minutes if he returned to A City. Hence, he was fine about making a deposit.
If she did not give it a proper go, he could still find someone to make her pay.
Hera listened to his sinister tone, and her brain that was focused on the money suddenly sobered up. Those who knew Abel
were nothing but ordinary.
What was more, the man on the other end of the phone had offered 400,000 dollars and was willing to pay a deposit of 80,000
dollars...
He knew her phone number, and all numbers were verified by real names. This man should have the ability to find her...
Hera regretted her decision.
Nevertheless, Pierre did not give her a chance to regret it. He asked, "Give me your account number."
Hera took a deep breath, told him her account number, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
"I'm not afraid." Pierre snorted coldly. "No one has ever dared to lie to me. Except for Abel, others who've lied to me are no
longer in this world. You know what will happen to you if you lie to me, right?"
Hera's lips trembled with fright at his words. She could not say anything for some time.
After a while, Pierre said, "I've already transferred the money. Help me find Abel."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hera heard the notification that the money had been transferred. She had thought about
getting one of the bags that caught her eye after she received the deposit, but she lost the mood to do so now. All she wanted
was to find Abel as soon as possible.
"I know. Goodbye." She hurriedly hung up the phone and looked at the deposit that had just arrived in her account. She wanted
to cry, but she could not.
...
The other side.
Luke left M Group after a long discussion.
In the car, Luke was on his phone the entire time, updating the employees of T Corporation. There was still a lot to do after they
won the project.
Luca listened to Luke's call with Mr. Zac. She lowered her gaze and said nothing.
After they left M Group, Luke did not mention the tender at all.
She felt uneasier now.
Luke was not a kind person. He would never be merciful toward those who had betrayed him. Luca knew that she may face his
interrogation and revenge.
However, she did not resent him...
Luke was managing the signing through the phone. He was not finished with it when he got out of the car at the hotel.
Jason was carrying his laptop and equipment while pushing his wheelchair.
Luca did not think about helping. She was absent-minded.
They were back in the suite, and she did not say a word. She went straight to her room and closed the door.
Jason put down his laptop and equipment. He turned around and looked at Luke.
It was apparent that he was concerned about Luca's situation even though he was discussing work with his employees.
After he was done with the discussion with Mr. Zac, Luke went to his bedroom and said to Jason, "Come in."
"Yes, Boss." Jason followed Luke into the room.
Jason breathed a sigh of relief when he closed the door. He could not hold back any longer. "Boss, I've asked Gale to follow
Pierre. Maybe we can find something."
"Pierre took the proposal thinking it was the real bidding document from T Corporation. He didn't expect that it was just a game I
designed. He'll definitely settle the score with the person who sold him the proposal. We can find whoever is controlling Luca if
we keep a close eye on Pierre," Luke said. Whoever it was, Luke would soon find out.
He was surprised that Pierre paid for the fake proposal.
However, since it was Pierre, it was even better. He did not expect Pierre to not prepare anything and directly use the proposal
word for word to attack T Corporation.
Pierre had made it easy for him to find whoever was behind it.
Moreover, Pierre would certainly take his revenge. Once he found that the bid he submitted was different from the bid submitted
by T Corporation, he would never let it go.
Therefore, it was easier for Luke to find the person behind this farce since they were connected to Pierre.
"Boss, what about Dr. Craw? When she saw our proposal, she was absent-minded. She probably thinks we noticed something
long ago." Jason asked Luke how they should proceed with things.
"I've already planned it. When we return to A City, we'll put the plan into motion," Luke said. He had already planned everything
out when he found out that Luca took the proposal.
"Okay, Boss." Jason felt relieved when he saw that Luke was ready.
