"There's no need to cook tonight. We have to attend M Group's dinner party," Luke reminded her as he sat down and picked up a knife and a fork.
If the signing was successful, there would definitely be a dinner party to attend.
Luca was startled for a moment before she nodded. "Alright."
As for dinner parties, Jason was already used to them. Not much needed to be said,
The three of them had breakfast in silence.
After the news had finished reporting the theft of the police station's evidence room, they started reporting the signing ceremony held on that day between M Group and T Corporation.
The economic experts on the news analyzed the economic development and benefits that the signing between the two companies would bring. Luca silently listened while spreading peanut butter on her bread.
The signing between both companies was a good thing.
It would promote economic cooperation between the two countries as well as economic development, which would improve the living standards of the people. It was indeed a good thing.
However, a good deed like this would also infringe the rights of some people.
Luca lowered her gaze and ate her bread in silence.
Luke noticed that Luca was lost in thought, so he did not bring up what had happened yesterday. He did not ask her what time she came back either.
Jason followed Luke's instructions and asked, "Boss, did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Luca's heart thumped as she looked up at Luke.
He did not seem to care about her whereabouts yesterday, nor did he ask about her late return. It was unusual.
Luke picked up a slice of bread and spread a little bit of peanut butter on it. "Why are you asking?"
"Nothing. I'm just worried that yesterday's wine was too strong and it affected your sleep." Jason chuckled.
"I had a pretty good rest yesterday." Luke glanced at Luca. The moment their eyes met, she immediately lowered her head.
Luke had a drink with Jason yesterday?
"I'm glad you had a good rest. I didn't expect that the wine Mr. Lacroix gave to be able to help you fall asleep," said Jason according to Luke's instructions. The purpose of doing this was to make Luca stop worrying about what had happened yesterday.
The wine that Ray gave?
Based on their conversation, Luca guessed that they must have drunk last night. It was also because of the wine that Luke went to bed early. That was why he did not send her any messages, nor did he wait for her as she predicted. owns all content.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, the three of them changed into formal attire and set off to M Group along with Mr. Zac.
This signing ceremony was of great importance to Marcos. He personally came downstairs to greet Luke when he arrived.
The journalists present held up their cameras to capture this moment.
Moreover, there were media outlets that arranged a global live broadcast specifically for this signing.
The signing ceremony went smoothly, and with the reporters as witnesses, Luke and Marcos signed their names on the contract at the same time.
This moment was also recorded in the global live broadcast.
When Pierre saw the moment Luke and Marcos shook hands, he smashed the cup in his hands against the wall.
Crash! A bodyguard looked over and silently walked to the wall to pick up the shattered pieces.
The second son of the Mallory family loved smashing things whenever he was in a bad mood.
Thank goodness, this cruise ship could withstand his torment.
"Why are you cleaning up the mess? Get out!" Pierre was furious when he saw the bodyguard squatting there to clean up.
The bodyguard picked up the tray beside him to put the broken pieces of glass on it. He said dully, "Second Young Master, if I don't clean this up, someone will get hurt."
Pierre stood up, the wrath in his eyes making him look crazy as he threatened the bodyguard. "Believe it or not, say one more word and I'll stab these broken pieces of glass into your neck!"
The bodyguard shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Pierre was a man of his words. Although his boss was Percy, if Pierre did anything to him, there was no guarantee that he would get fair and just treatment.
Percy was his brother, after all.
The bodyguard silently left with the tray, intending to dispose of the discarded glass, lest Percy used the shards to hurt others.
Aside from them, there were also some resident employees on the cruise ship.
Percy came over and saw the bodyguard holding a tray. He took a closer look and saw the broken glass on it.
"Did he smash this?" asked Percy. Ever since he forced Pierre to get on the cruise ship so they could go back home, the man had never once behaved himself.
No matter how much the stuff in this cruise ship cost, as long as he was in a bad mood, he would destroy them all one by one.
Percy only now realized how messed up his brother was.
“Yes. After watching the live broadcast of the signing between T Corporation and M Group, he became furious..." the bodyguard said in a low voice.
"Dispose of these properly. Don't let him use these things to hurt others when he goes crazy," Percy reminded the bodyguard.
"Got it." The bodyguard left with the tray.
Percy pushed open the door of the cruise ship and saw Pierre venting his anger on a bottle of wine.
He was holding a bottle opener but could not get the bottle to open. He was so angry that he almost slammed it on the table.
"I advise you not to do that," Percy said in a cold voice.
Pierre saw him walking over and forcefully smashed the wine bottle on the table.
Bang! Glass shattered everywhere. The bottle was smashed in half. More than half of the wine inside spilled onto the table and the floor.
Pierre had always been this provocative. He poured the remaining wine into his mouth without caring about the injuries on his hand from the broken glass.
Percy lowered his gaze and laughed grimly. "Pierre, you've been acting crazy ever since you got on this cruise ship. Haven't you had enough? Do you want me to throw you into the ocean so you can submerge yourself in the seawater and take a look at the sharks? Will that calm you down?"
"Just throw me in! You don't see me as your brother anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if you actually do throw me in." Pierre's eyes were bloodshot. Just looking at Percy made him want to punch him in the face.
Did he still think of him as his brother?
He was only a tool. Now that he was getting better in business, Percy wanted to thwart him together with Luke.
Percy had a dark and sullen face as he rolled up his sleeve. "Do you think I don't dare to?"
"Go ahead. You've never thought of me as your brother anyway! Bring it on!" Pierre choked out the words. In his mind, he could never beat Luke, who was not even Percy's blood relative.
He had never felt this way before this.
Now, he thought that Percy was doing all of these things because he was afraid that he would steal his limelight!
"I'll help you!" Percy stepped forward and was about to carry Pierre.
The bodyguard who stood aside immediately stopped him. "Boss, don't. Second Young Master is just in a bad mood."
The waters were dangerous now. There were often sharks surrounding this area.
Pierre's hands were still injured. If he was thrown into the sea, the smell of blood would spread and attract nearby sharks.
“No need to shed crocodile tears. I can't go up against you alone anyway. If you want to do it, just hurry up." Pierre looked at Percy indignantly with red eyes as if he had lost his mind.
