At the same time, Gordan heard about the news too.

"Are you sure about that?" Gordan looked at the man who sat in front of him. The man was his friend, and he had his own organization in Russia.

"It's everywhere now. Why? Aren't you related to Ray? How can you not know about it?" Owen swirled his wine glass and asked Gordan.

It caught Owen's attention after what had happened. After all, it was Ray's villa. The other organizations would not have the guts to send someone to sneak into his house.

However, he would never talk to Ray, and that was why he had no choice but to ask Gordan. Original from .

It reminded Gordan of Vivian when he mentioned Ray. He was unable to contact her all this while. The divorce papers were still in his hands, and he had yet to send them to the court. Hence, he was utterly depressed about it.

"I have nothing to do with his family's affairs." Gordan sounded aggressive.

Owen noticed that there was something wrong with Gordan's tone. He thought that something must have happened between Gordan and Ray again. He did not continue to ask him questions.

Gordan realized that Owen only drank his wine and remained silent after that. He asked, "Who else knows about what happened?"

"We don't know about the specific situation. But I heard that Ray had invited the CEO of T Corporation to his house for dinner when that happened. He spent the night there because of the snowstorm. Hence, he probably knows the details. Aren't you friends with him?" Owen asked. He knew well about Gordan's connections.

Luke Crawford?

Gordan frowned. He knew that Luke and Ray were on pretty good terms.

Ray helped Luke look for Bianca when she got kidnapped back then. Although he did not manage to find her, they did get closer to each other.

Owen's phone rang. He glanced at his phone, put down the wine glass, and stood up. "I've got something to do. I'm sorry, I can't continue our drinking session. Oh, remember to inform me if you find out anything else. The situation in Russia isn't that peaceful lately."

"Got it," said Gordan impatiently.

After Owen left, Gordan folded his legs and sat on the sofa as he looked at the scenery outside the window. He looked far into the distance while he held his wine glass and swirled it from time to time.

Who would have the guts to break into Ray's house in the middle of the night?

Besides, Luke was there too?

Did the person who break into Ray's house after Luke or Ray?

The current situation in Russia was not too good, and Gordan knew about it too. He reckoned that the person was after Ray, and Luke happened to be there when it happened.

Gordan put the wine glass down. He stood up and informed the driver to drive him somewhere else.

He wanted to find out what happened.

It was impossible to head to Ray's house. Ray would certainly find an excuse to stop Gordan if he headed there now. He might get lectured by him too. Gordan was not silly. He would not walk right into this.

That was why Gordan was planning to head to the hotel.

On the other hand.

Ray had yet to figure out about the matter, and Luke did not plan to disturb him. It was no longer snowing heavily after Luke was done having his breakfast, so he suggested that he return to the hotel.

Ray was certain that he was the target this time and it had nothing to do with Luke. Thus, he did not ask Luke to stay.

Ray arranged for his driver to send Luke and the others back to his hotel.

Vivian came forward to him after everyone left, asking, “Ray, are things getting tense lately?"

"Yes." Ray nodded. He would never take the initiative to talk about these with Vivian. That was why Vivian never knew anything about it. "That's why I was so eager to send my men to look for you when you chose to leave Gordan back then. I was worried that something had happened to you."

"I didn't know about this..." Vivian thought that Ray deliberately made a big deal out of it to persuade her to go home.

After what had happened this time, Vivian realized that Ray was not trying to scare her. He was telling the truth.

"You don't have to worry about this. Aren't you planning to further your studies abroad? Get ready for it. Let me handle these," said Ray.

It was always the men who took over the family business. That was why after Vivian was born, her mother got pregnant again and gave birth to Ray.

It was because women would only have to enjoy the wealth and prosperity that the man brought to their families.

Hence, no matter how Vivian looked or how ignorant and incompetent she was, Ray would always protect her.

"Alright." Vivian was moved. The best thing in her life was to be Ray's elder sister.

When she was about to say something, Hansen came up and said, "Boss, the man would like to tell you something."

"Let's go and see what he'd like to tell me." The look on Ray's face became cold at once. Then, he headed to the elevator.

Vivian did not follow them. Instead, she returned to her bedroom and prepared for her studies abroad.

She had decided where to go, and Ray had found his connections too. She only had to pass the entrance exam. Then, she would be able to start her classes.

Although Ray had a way to let her get into the university without taking the exam, Vivian wanted to know how far she could make it.

She had been wasting her time on her relationship all these years. The knowledge she learned in school was for nothing back then.

However, she was not someone who would give up easily. She was willing to start over and learn everything again after forgetting it. She wanted to earn the right to get into the university herself.

On the other hand.

Ray's driver sent Luke and the others back to the hotel.

Jason pushed Luke, who was sitting in his wheelchair, into the hotel's lobby. He could see Gordan from far away.

He reminded Luke, whose head was lowered as he looked at his phone and handled his work, “Boss, it's Mr. Norton."

Luca looked in the direction where Jason was looking. It was really Gordan. He looked a little paler after not seeing him for a few days.

Was it because of Vivian's matter?

Gordan's face should not be getting paler if it was really for Vivian's matter. After all, he had always wanted to leave Vivian.

Gordan saw them too. He glanced at the car parked outside the hotel's entrance. It was Ray's car. He thought to himself that what Owen told him was right.

"Brother Luke, you're back," Gordan came forward and said politely.

Luke looked at how slovenly Gordan was. His stubble was unshaved, and he had bloodshot eyes. He looked pale and awful as though he had been staying up for a few nights. Luke nodded and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I was in a hurry and forgot to shave." Gordan stroked his chin. His stubble was out, and it was prickly.

Luke looked at Gordan and wondered if he was feeling upset because Vivian had left him and that was why he ended up like this. "You came here to look for me?"

"Yes, but the hotel's receptionist told me no one picked up when she called your room. I thought you might be out there, so I waited for you here." Gordan nodded. There was a reason why he did not call

Luke.

If Luke was not in his room, then he must be at Ray's house. Gordan was worried that Ray would be beside Luke when he called him.

Gordan refused to let Ray know that he wanted to ask about what had happened last night. Hence, he would rather wait for Luke in the hotel's lobby than give Luke a call.
