In the hotel.


    Vivian was drinking water after she swallowed the pill Luca gave her. Then, she was getting ready to


    rest.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    The doorbell rang when she had just sat on the bed.


    Vivian frowned. Could Luca have left her belongings behind, so she came back for them?


    Vivian headed to the door and remembered what Luca had told to her. The underworld scene in Russia


    was chaotic now.


    Ray''s group was formidable. A big tree would attract the woodman''s ax. A few smaller groups were


    green with envy over their family''s sess. However, they always had bodyguards with them, and that


    was why they had been safe.


    Vivian was also under Ray''s protection. She never went out alone as two bodyguards would always


    follow her. Hence, nothing had ever happened to her.


    Now, Vivian was here alone. Perhaps those groups had received the news and they were nning to


    do something bad to her.


    Vivian was alerted. She did not open the door right away. Instead, she chose to take a glimpse through


    the peephole on the door. No one was out there.


    That person must be standing at the side of the door where she could not see.


    Vivian was pretty sure that the person out there was not an ordinary person. If it were Luca or an


    attendant, they would have stood somewhere where she could see them through the peephole.


    That person deliberately stepped away from the visible range of the peephole.


    “Who is it?" Vivian raised her voice and asked while locking the chained lock.


    "I''m sorry. I got the wrong room." A man''s voice came from outside the door.


    Vivian was so frightened that she dared not make a noise. She kept a close eye on the situation


    outside the door while looking through the peephole.


    Once she heard the man''s voice, she saw a man wearing ck pass by the door.


    That should be the man who pressed the doorbell.


    Then, Vivian did not see anything again or hear anything outside the door.


    Vivian stood behind the door for five minutes. After she made sure there was no one outside the door,


    she slowly walked back to her bed.


    Her tightened nerves rxed at once. The effects of the medicine were working too.


    Vivian shook her head and said in a low voice, "Luca''s pill works really fast."


    After that, shey down on the bed and fell deeply asleep.


    In another hotel room.


    The man who had just pressed the doorbell outside Vivian''s room walked to the end of the corridor.


    Then, he swiped the card and entered the room.


    He dialed Gordan''s phone number before he sat down.


    "You found her?" Gordan asked.


    "Yes, Mr. Norton. She''s staying in Ostin Hotel, Room 5034." The man took a box of cigarettes out of his


    pocket and took one.


    "Are you sure?" Gordan asked. The hotel was located far away from Ray''s domain.


    Vivian truly did not want her to be found by them. Was that why she chose to stay in a hotel that far?


    Was she not afraid that the other underworld organizations would discover her whereabouts and


    kidnap her to threaten Ray?


    She was a stupid woman, indeed. She resorted to hiding somewhere, causing trouble for her family.


    "I''ve confirmed it. Her name and her voice are the same," said the man as he put his phone aside. He


    pressed on the loudspeaker function. Then, he took his lighter out and lit his cigarette.


    Vivian''s voice was recognizable. Besides, the man had used professional voice recognition software to


    make aparison. He was a hundred percent sure that the woman in that hotel room was Vivian.


    "Alright. I got it. You won''t take up any jobs rted to this after epting mine, right?" Gordan asked.


    Gordan knew about Ray''s matter.


    However, this was the organization''s affair. Although Gordan was Vivian''s husband, the others knew


    Gordan was not part of Ray''s organization.


    That was why Ray had never helped Gordan solve his problems and difficulties.


    After all, Gordan was a lone wolf.


    "Of course," answered the man.


    "Okay. I''ll deposit the money into your bank ountter." After that, Gordan hung up the call and


    deposited a huge amount of money into the man''s bank ount.


    Even though Vivian was ugly, she had a high worth because of her family and Ray.


    However, Gordan did not feel bad about spending the money.


    Finding Vivian was the only way to get true freedom.


    Gordan sat on the chair while he smoked. He did not look for Vivian right away after knowing where


    she was.


    He refused to look for her immediately. Vivian would get the wrong idea and think that Gordan was


    worried about her. If she eventually regretted asking for a divorce, he would not be able to make up for


    the losses.


    Well, his divorce from Vivian had already been set in stone. He was not in a hurry now.


    Gordan smoked and read the contents of the divorce agreement again. His face darkened at once.


    Vivian.


    Luca had been to a few clinics, yet she still could not get what she wanted. The clinics did not have the


    antibiotic as it was not widely used here.


    Luca had no choice but to give up.


    It soon got dark as it was winter. Luca could only hail a taxi and return to the hotel.


    Luca realized Luke and Jason were still busy with their work when she returned to the suite.


    She did not enter her room. Instead, she took off her coat and tied her hair up. Then, she walked into


    the kitchen.


    Luca had already informed the reception to ce some ingredients in the fridge before she went out


    this morning.


    Luca opened the fridge and saw some fresh ingredients inside. She smiled and began to prepare


    dinner.


    This time, she prepared Jason''s portion too.


    Luca had noticed that Jason seemed to be alright with having Russian food when they were at


    Gordan''s ce. She thought Jason must have chosen to have dinner at the restaurant because of


    Luke.


    Now that Jason was here working, preparing his portion was only natural.


    An hourter, Jason could smell the aroma of food in the air. He could not help but swallow his saliva.


    Luca did note back for lunch when it was noontime. Jason and Luke had ordered room service.


    They were served Russian food. The food was not, bad but it was not especially good either. They


    were not used to the taste of the food here.


    The fragrance of food that came from the kitchen...


    Jason would love to have some, but Luke would probably give him the attitude if he asked to stay.


    Jason was in a dilemma.


    “Stay here for dinner," said Luke.


    "Alright, Boss. Thank you, Boss." Jason was secretly rejoicing while trying to pretend to be calm.


    Jason had been hoping that Luke would say this to him.


    Although Jason had been eating Western food every day, Luca''s home-cooked food was different.


    Jason loved Sue, but between Sue''s and Luca''s food, he still thought that Luca''s food was the best.


    Luke saved the file and closed hisptop. "I''m not the one cooking."


    Jason thought, ''But I''d still need your permission to stay.'' It was just that he dared not say it to Luke.


    The two of them left the room one after another.


    At this moment, Luca happened to serve the dishes on the dining table. She greeted them when she


    saw them walking out of the room, "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Doyle, dinner is ready. Would you like to have


    dinner now?"


    "Yes." Luke nodded. He maintained his cold attitude in front of Jason, but deep down inside him, he


    was craving Luca''s home-cooked meal.
