It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 157

The Evans Group’s headquarters in the Evans Group was deeply troubled. Huge sums of money were constantly being paid to buy back the scattered shares that had been maliciously sold by the Dresse group. The bank credit problem had not been completely resolved and downstream businesses began demanding payment in panic. It seemed like all the problems had erupted at once. Finally, the emergency situation eased slightly after the money was transferred to the account. However, this was only temporary and rest problems continued to appear.

However, what happened in the mine in South Africa was not so easy to resolve. This involved not only money, but also causalities, international laws, humanity, etc. If the public did not get a satisfactory answer, the day of resuming mining would never come. And the loss of money that had previously been spent was immeasurable.

Lowell seemed to enjoy such a game very much. Now the initiative was entirely in his hands. He was not worried that members of the Evans family would know about his past. He wasn’t tired of the game of mouse catching the cat now. When the Evans family was about to see hope, he seemingly inadvertently pulled them away and let their efforts go in vain.

“Malcolm, he just wants to use this method to slow down and ruin our chances. If he continued to act like this, the situation would become more and more complicated and difficult to manage. Why didn’t you do anything?” Enoch walked restlessly back and forth around the room and asked loudly for the silent Malcolm.

Ignoring him, Malcolm looked at the red dot on the screen. His eyes shone with darkness, and more complexity and hesitation. Suddenly, Enoch looked at the screen. When he found Lucia’s red dot reappearing on the screen, a pang of excitement rose in his mind.

“Has my sister-in-law left the damn place?” he whispered to himself.

Then he looked at Malcolm with hope in his eyes. Lucia was the best chess piece. It was also the reason why Malcolm had allowed her to leave at the time. He used it to surround Lowell. The peg on his foot was the best way to replace Lowell’s base. Maybe that wasn’t why Malcolm had given Lucia the bracelet, but after that incident, he had let Lucia go mostly for today.

However, Enoch saw hesitation, tenderness, and indescribable emotion in Malcolm’s eyes. Was it because of this that Malcolm had been silent the whole time. Enoch believed that everything he could think of had already been thought of by Malcolm, and the reason Malcolm didn’t want to do it was more because he couldn’t forget it anymore.

Lucia became Malcolm and Lowell’s weak point. Whoever took better advantage of her could be the final winner. Enoch believed that Malcolm and Lowell knew this better than anyone, but neither of them took the initiative to take the first step to use this chess piece.

The two were at an impasse.

“Malcolm…there is really no time left. This is also your original goal, right? Do you want the impasse that can be resolved to become a impasse because of your hesitation in this moment?” Enoch tried his best to persuade Malcolm.

Malcolm looked gently at Enoch, and Enoch’s words touched his heart. Contradiction and hesitation were two complex emotions that constantly affected him. He didn’t could make a decision for a long time.

“My sister-in-law will be safe in our hands, right? We just want to lure Lowell. Your ultimate goal is to get her back, right?” Enoch continued to persuade Malcolm.

Like Malcolm, Lowell was also an inscrutable man. No one could tell how deep his feelings for Lucia were. If they made a mistake, the next steps would also be wrong. Now that Malcolm could think it, maybe Lowell would have the same thought. He was able to keep a low profile for so many years for such a tricky trap, which was enough to prove that he was a better actor. No one could see through his true feelings beneath the mask.

“Malcolm…” Enoch’s tone began to sound helpless and weak.

The calm expression on Malcolm’s face made it hard to guess what he was thinking. He closed his eyes and Lucia’s smiling face came back to his mind. On the other hand, his grandmother’s will, the interests of the Evans family, the responsibilities and pressure he shouldered were like an invisible mountain that made him unable to breathe.

“Wildcat, will you be strong enough to live for me? Or, live for yourself? If there is a chance, I will tell you in person that as long as you are Lucia, no matter what happens to you and if your face has changed, you are still my little wild cat, because I love you.

After a long moment, Malcolm opened his eyes. The previous struggle and hesitation were no longer in his eyes. Coldness and cruelty covered all his other emotions. He looked at Enoch indifferently. Enoch looked into Malcolm’s eyes. After so many years, they had a tacit understanding. Malcolm didn’t need to say anything. Enoch already knew he had made the decision.

However, such a decision caused Malcolm to put his love on the dangerous front line as bait. But the outcome was decided at the very beginning, wasn’t it?

From the beginning until now, their relationship was full of use and conspiracy… There were mixed feelings between the two. No matter good or evil, in this war, perhaps no one was the final winner. Everyone was a loser.

Without saying anything more, Enoch turned and quickly left the office. Whether Lucia was alone or not, today was an opportunity for them. If Lucia returned to the chaotic signal blocking zone, perhaps the situation would have changed drastically the next time she went out, and they would miss such an opportunity forever.

In order to ensure that everything would go smoothly, Byron personally carried out the task this time. Before Byron left, Malcolm only indifferently ordered him to keep Lucia unharmed. Byron left respectfully. On the other hand, Enoch sighed silently behind him. If Lucia was alone, then it wouldn’t be difficult to keep Lucia unharmed. But if Lowell was on Lucia’s side, then Malcolm meant that Byron could give up.

Enoch hoped that God was on their side, so that the nightmare that had haunted them for so many years could finally end. Perhaps no one in the Evans family ever thought that a woman would play a crucial role at the last moment.

Indeed, a beauty was a disaster.

Earlier, Lucia opened the portal to the villa in South Africa.

” Madam ? Are you going out?”

a fully armed mercenary immediately appeared in front of her and asked respectfully. Lucia frowned slightly, nodded slightly and walked out. She had

stayed in the villa for a long time. She had gotten rid of the jet lag and environment in South Africa. After Lowell arrived in South Africa, he had been very busy. Only Catherine and Lucia usually stayed in the villa. Now Kathryn was suffering from menalgia. After tossing and turning On several occasions, she had just fallen asleep on the bed. Lucia remained alone, staring at the immense villa. That’s why she had the idea of ​​going out for a walk.

“I will send people to follow you, but they will not disturb you,” the mercenary said respectfully.

Lucy didn’t say anything. She nodded again and got into the car that had already arrived at the gate, heading towards the city center. South Africa was famous for diamonds. No matter how bad the security environment was here and how chaotic the situation was, the government would guarantee security to a certain extent. Otherwise, South Africa would suffer immeasurable losses in tourism and the diamond industry.

The city center of South Africa’s executive capital was located in a relatively safe location. Lucia got out of the car in the city center. After leaving the signal blocking area, she took her own phone with her. Most of the shops in the city center were engaged in the diamond trade and supplied the best artisan cutters. There were also many finished diamond jewelry pieces. Tourists from all over the world seemed to be deeply attracted by these dazzling diamonds.

Maybe it was because of the atmosphere, or maybe it was because the diamonds were too dazzling, Lucia couldn’t help but stop at a shop. A saleswoman explained to him the sources, qualities, know-how of diamond cutting, etc.

Time passed as she wandered aimlessly. When she looked up, she saw the sun setting in the westernmost part of the city. The unusually bright light made Lucia reluctant to look away. She quietly watched the setting sun gradually disappear from the horizon, and finally disappear completely from her sight.

The vibration in her pocket made Lucia stop in her tracks. She took out her phone and answered it directly. As expected, it was from Lowell. She heard his soft voice.

“Lucie, where are you? Tell me the name of the road or the iconic building. I’ll take you to dinner,” Lowell asked indifferently.

Lucia raised her head and looked around. She couldn’t replace the road sign, so she looked at the nearest mall and told him the name. Then she hung up the phone and waited for Lowell on site.

In the evening in South Africa, even in such a bustling city center, uneasiness gradually appeared. A single oriental woman looked exceptionally attractive in a group of people with different skin colors, and the danger was approaching her step by step. At a distance behind Lucia, Lowell’s bodyguards were watching her. If anything bad happened to her, they would face the most fury Lowell’s ruthlessness upon their return.

Lowell had seemed harmless and gentle these days. However, this would only happen in front of Lucia. If anyone were naive enough to think that Lowell had changed his temperament, then what awaited him would be the most merciless punishment. Therefore, people who had followed Lowell for a long time would never easily cross his bottom line.

However, things often got out of control.

Lucia felt tired and sat down casually on the stairs. A feeling of hunger invades him. Lucia touched her slightly swollen belly. If she continued to eat like this, it wouldn’t take long for her to gain weight.

Lucia was still immersed in her own imagination. Suddenly, she sniffed the slightly cold air. After a while, she lost consciousness and was easily taken away by someone. When the bodyguards not far away rushed over, they only saw a car driving away, and there was no trace of Lucia.

They looked at each other and quickly called Lowell to report what had just happened.
