Eagle replied, “I didn’t kill him, I was gentle with my attack.”
“But why hasn’t he left yet?” Freya asked.
“Maybe when I threw him, his leg broke and he couldn’t walk,” Eagle said.
Freya was stunned.
“Why didn’t he call someone to come and take him away? What’s the deal with lying there all the time?” Freya couldn’t understand Adam’s behavior.
She was afraid Adam was trying to extort money but failing.
Eagle said, “He can’t speak, so making a phone call is useless. With me here, no one dares to touch him.”
Freya was speechless.
Suddenly, Elijah said, “Well done.”
He didn’t forget that Adam was a man Freya used to secretly love. And he felt a bit unbalanced.
So, he took pleasure in the misfortune.
“Thank you, Mr Silverton,” Eagle said respectfully, his face cold and without any fluctuations.
“…” Freya was at a loss for words.
“Call 911 for him, it’s not good for him to lie here,” Elijah said.
“Yes,” Eagle responded.
Elijah drove away.
After making the call, Eagle followed behind in the car.
“Today, let’s take Kai out for dinner and go to the amusement park,” Elijah said.
Freya nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
She leaned against Elijah’s shoulder and said, “Between the two of us, I’m an unfit mother, and you’re an unfit father.”
Elijah said, “I’ll do my best from now on.”
“So will I,” Freya said.
They went back to pick up Kai.
Kai was extremely happy.
He nestled in Freya’s arms, swinging his legs non-stop. “Mommy, I want to eat ice cream and go on the little train.”
Freya rubbed his little head and indulgently said, “Okay.”
…
Men seem to become smarter when they don’t talk about love.
After Luna left, Orion’s company expanded its business.
So, he traveled to Nightport City, 1, 500 kilometers away from Urbora City, to discuss a tourism project with a local developer.
He needed to come here for an inspection and also conduct some research to see if the development was valuable.
Actually, whether a place becomes famous or not depends on how well it is marketed.
The mountains here were high, and the developer’s plan included building the highest suspension bridge in the country. As long as there was something eye-catching, it would attract attention.
But the initial investment was quite large. It would take three years to complete. And there were other projects as well, totaling an investment of ten billion.
Orion was considered an outsider investor, so naturally the local side wanted him to sign the contract and hoped that Orion would invest.
This was not a small amount of money, so Orion wanted to conduct further inspections.
The people in Nightport City were afraid that he wouldn’t invest, so they set up a trap at night.
It was easier to discuss matters over drinks.
After a few rounds of drinking, the host said, “Mr Russo, we appreciate your long journey and your visit to our place. You’ve also inspected the site. We’d like to know your intention.”
Orion said, “You owe me some research.”
“No problem, as long as you’re willing to invest,” the host poured him more wine and leaned closer, saying, “Here, not only are the mountains beautiful, the water is beautiful, but the people are also beautiful.”
Orion drank another glass. He had too much to drink and started to sway. “I should go back.”
The host said, “I’ll have someone drive you.”
He waved outside and immediately a young and beautiful girl came in.
The host signaled for her to support Orion.
The girl obediently helped Orion walk out of the private room.
Orion was in a daze and called out, “Luna.”
The girl didn’t hear clearly and said to him, “Get in the car.”
Orion looked at the person speaking.
Her figure flickered in front of his eyes.
And then, it turned into Luna.
Orion’s icy gaze suddenly became burning hot. “Luna, is that you? Are you here?”
