But Luke underestimates Tracy’s ruthlessness. When she hears Luke’s words, she pretends to smile.
“It’s rare to see Mr. Luke say anything against his will, but it doesn’t matter, because what I want is not
your opinions, but your actions.”
Tracy’s eyesight is sharp, which makes Luke feel very uneasy.
“Miss Wilson, don’t say that. If you can help Howard Group out, Howard Group is willing to do
something for Miss Wilson. Of course it can’t be too much.”
Luke responds with a wry smile, but Tracy immediately says, “I’m sorry. It’s really too much. Ha-ha.
Even I think it’s too much. But I really don’t mind seeing that woman’s misery.”
Luke’s face turns livid. His Adam’s Apple moves and he asks directly, “Miss Wilson, please make it
clear.”
Tracy chuckles and walks up to Luke and says, “my request is very simple. I want Leo to promise me to
break up with that woman later. And, of course, I’m going to make Claire pay for the two slaps I’ve had.
That’s not too much.”
Luke wants to directly refuse such rude request, but he says politely, “Leo is still in a coma, so he can’t
respond to Miss Wilson’s request. However, if Miss Wilson helps Howard Group this time, Leo will
definitely explain to Miss Wilson.”
It’s true, but it’s useless. Luke is embarrassed.
Tracy puts an arm directly around Luke’s neck and says softly, “but Mr. Luke, you say you represent
Leo now. Do you want to pass the buck now?”
Luke pushes Tracy away and coughs and shakes his head. “I just run the company with his power. I
can’t make decisions about his private affairs.”
Tracy sneers and says, “it seems that Mr. Luke is not clear about the situation. Now, the decision I ask
you to make determines the survival of Howard Group. Are you sure you want to refuse me? Uh huh?
Tracy’s voice is soft and she leans on Luke’s shoulder.
Instead of feeling ambiguous, Luke feels sick. He thinks to himself that this woman is very fickle. It’s no
wonder that Leo doesn’t appreciate her, but hates her very much.
Luke says coldly, “Miss Wilson, I want to make sure. Is this really Wilson Group’s attitude?” Luke finally
gets a little angry.
Tracy laughs and says, “yes, I can represent all the people in Wilson Group, and my request is true. If
you can, Howard Group will survive this time. If not, I think Mr. Luke knows it.”
Luke doesn’t respond. He says goodbye in a hurry and then turns to leave.
“Mr. Luke, you don’t have to respond now. You can hold on for a few more days. Maybe when Howard
Group can’t hold on, you’ll come back to me.” Tracy’s smile is uncomfortable.
Luke is a little depressed. No sooner he leaves Wilson Group’s company than he gets worse news.
Claire calls to say Leo’s condition is getting worse. He has now been taken to Bryce’s hospital for
rescue and his condition is very dangerous.
Luke doesn’t care about the company. He goes straight to the hospital. By the time he arrives, the
operation is over. Although Leo is not in danger for the time being, he does not wake up.
Conan sits in front of the hospital bed and his eyes are red and he looks very pitiful. Claire has no spirit
at all, because she has to take care of Leo and the sad Conan at the same time.
Claire never feels that life can be so painful.
Claire feels at least relieved to see Luke show up. She asks him expectantly about Wilson Group’s
attitude.
Luke doesn’t tell her he went to see Tracy. He’s just disappointed to say that Wilson Group still wants to
stay on the sidelines.
After hearing this, Claire is even more gloomy. She looks at Luke and says with a wry smile, “Luke, is it
because of me?”
Luke pats Claire on the shoulder and comforts her, “don’t think about it. Take good care of Leo. You
don’t have to worry about the company in the future.”
They spend the night in the hospital and take care of Leo all night. During that time Bryce visits them.
He makes it clear that he is willing to help Howard Group and he says it is for Claire.
Even so, Luke refuses, because Bryce can’t help much unless he can invest his entire assets in
Howard Group, which is obviously impossible.
Luke goes to the company at dawn. On this day, the crisis of the company becomes more serious.
Juan does something again. It is said that dozens of companies have jointly sued Howard Group, but
the court’s notice has not yet been issued.
When Luke hears the news, he just feels desperate. It seems that Leo is bound to fail. Luke knows that
things are beyond his control.
And Claire hears it. When she sees Luke at the hospital, she asks desperately, “is there really no way?”
Luke finally hears Claire’s question. He wants to tell Claire, but he can’t bear it. But his eyes betray
him.
“What are you hiding from me, Luke?” Claire asks him.
Luke says helplessly, “actually, I met Tracy. She stands by to ask us to meet one of her requirements,
two to be exact.”
Although Claire knows she is involved, she says happily, “what does she want?”
Luke says, “first, you break up with Leo and no longer contact him. Second, you have to pay for what
you did to her.”
Claire thought Tracy just wants to get back at her. She didn’t expect that she wants her to disappear.
Luke looks at Claire and says, “it’s OK. You don’t have to force yourself. I’m sure Leo doesn’t want to
see you agree to this vicious condition.”
Claire still hasn’t responded.
Because of her, Juan competes with Howard Group and Tracy retaliates against Howard Group. She’s
really a jinx.
Claire is not unwilling now but blames herself.
