“Who is going to call me?” Luke unconsciously touches his cell phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan doesn’t speak and laughs at Luke who’s waiting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate calls Luke a few minutes later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke answers the phone almost immediately. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s Kate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at Conan helplessly and doesn’t know what to say, because Conan doesn’t tell him how to solve the problem. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate is silent, too. They are a perfect match! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke coughs and wants to be honest, but Kate suddenly says, “I’m sorry. I can’t keep my appointment tonight.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke didn’t expect it. Is the way Conan says it is to let Kate break the appointment? It seems so. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is happy but he pretends to sigh. Conan sees Luke’s acting. He is indeed of the same rank as him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What a pity.” Luke expresses his disappointment and helplessness. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He can get full marks. Conan gives Luke an objective evaluation of his performance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate on the other end of the line says coldly, “you don’t mind, do you? I don’t really want to date you.” Kate seems to be rejecting something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is confused. Is that one of Claire’s ideas? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke reluctantly smiles and says, “it doesn’t matter. I’m just on impulse. I didn’t expect you to agree. It seems that we are both stupid.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan can hear Kate, too, and then he hears Luke’s answer. He freezes. It’s not planned at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan’s eyes widen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate and Luke are two freaks! Or they’re freaks when they fight. They have fun hitting each other and denying themselves. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They are abusing each other. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The adults’ world is really hard to understand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kate on the other end of the phone is stunned for a second when she hears Luke’s answer, and then she swears, “only you are stupid. I am not stupid.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she hangs up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is confused. He frowns and looks at Conan and asks in disbelief, “Conan, did I fail in humor?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan sighs and says, “Uncle Luke, you’d better be a steady rich man. Sometimes you need to be serious.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke turns around and looks serious. He says aloud, “so you and your lovely Mommy gave me a bad idea. Kate cancelled her appointment with me. By the way, she said I was stupid.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Claire didn’t do it right.” Luke is a little helpless. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan waves and smiles and says, “don’t be angry. In fact, it’s like this.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Conan tells Luke about Claire’s plan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The plan is close to Kate’s character and is perfect. Kate won’t be too angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Kate gets angry for no reason. And she said she didn’t plan to date Luke at first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then why is it like this?” Luke can’t figure it out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You don’t seem to know much about Aunt Kate, and you don’t seem to know yourself. Don’t you find that you two are used to quarreling?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke does realize that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“When Claire introduced Kate to me, she was not like this. At that time, Kate was straightforward. How can she become so cunning now?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Women really…” Luke is speechless to the extreme. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan sniggers and says, “anyway, you meet Tracy easily, but remember to bring back good news.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at his watch and finds it is almost 7 p.m., so he leaves Howard Group in a hurry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan turns on the surveillance video again and Juan still hasn’t come out of the house. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The smile on Conan’s face disappears. He begins to recollect what happened before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He feels that he is merciless to Juan, but if time goes back, Conan will still choose this way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because if he doesn’t break the scam and beat Juan, Mommy and Daddy will suffer. Even if he doesn’t want to, he can only do so. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t hate me, Godfather.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan stares at the motionless surveillance video and hopes Juan will come out of the door and remain calm, tactful and gentle. That’s the godfather he knows. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy made an appointment to meet Luke in a box in a nightclub. It belongs to Wilson Group, so Luke is in some danger this time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy is crazy and may do something extreme. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke just wants him to be lucky. His people are assigned to Howard Group to help, so he can only rely on himself now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as Luke gets to the door of the nightclub, Tracy’s men see him and take him to the box. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy is sitting quietly on the sofa in the box. Colorful and soft light fall on her. This woman is really a little beautiful. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy, in particular, is wearing very little today. She is wearing a thin skirt and a thin, brightly colored blouse. Her long hair goes round her white neck. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although faced with a slut, Luke can’t help but praise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it’s no surprise that she’s beautiful. After all, she’s Leo’s fiancee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But they are not fit to talk business here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke thinks and sits opposite Tracy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy seems to have dressed up for the night. Although she looks good, she has put on a lot of makeup and wears very little. Luke despises it, but he doesn’t express it on the surface. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
