The next morning, when Lily wakes up, she finds that she is hugged in Rex's arms. Rex notices her
slight movement and asks, "Are you awake?"
His voice is slumberous but charming in the morning.
Lily closes her eyes again and smells the faint fragrance of peppermint on him. She says, "I'm a little
sleepy."
Rex kisses her and says, "You stayed up too late last night. Don't go to the shop today." He is afraid
that she doesn't get enough rest.
Lily sighs, "I have an appointment with decorators. We need to draw up the blueprints and decide the
overall style for the chains."
"The others in your shop can do that."
"I have to do this myself. I don't trust someone else," Lily says and looks at the time. It is almost eight
o'clock. She feels guilty and says, "I can't send Adair to school."
Thinking of Adair, Rex can't help but smile, "He is going to blame me again."
When Lily has no time to send Adair to school, Adair always blames Rex. He thinks that Lily spends too
much time on Rex. However, Rex doesn't defend himself because he is amused by Adair's cute look.
They are lovey-dovey for a while. After having a simple breakfast, Rex sends Lily to the florist. By the
time he arrives at the firm, it is almost 9:15.
It is rare for Orson to see Rex be late. He is frightened as if he sees a monster, and he says, "I don't
believe that a self-restrained maniac like you would be late for work."
Rex doesn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he glances at Orson indifferently and asks, "It was late when
you sent Abby home last night. Did nothing happen?"
Orson can read between the lines. He is gloomy when he thinks of that Abby got drunk and puked on
him and on his car last night.
Well, he and Rex were in the same situation last night.
"Are you going to take that case?" Orson asks worriedly.
"Yes."
"Are you telling the truth? Does Lily agree?"
"Yes," Rex softens his eyes and says, "She said that she didn't want to stop me from pursuing my
dreams, and she would support me."
Rex shows their love to Orson suddenly. Orson thinks that he doesn't need to worry about them at all!
"Be careful. You can talk with me if you have any doubts. You can always trust me."
"Don't worry. I know what to do."
Rex gets the case, but few people know that. It is vital and no one dares to spread the news.
People think that he will do something big since he is back. However, they wait for a long time but Rex
does nothing. They guess that Rex comes back for management and he doesn't intend to take any
cases.
The rumor is quickly spread, but Rex doesn't pay any attention to it. He focuses on the details of the
case and holds teleconferences with the staff of various departments of the government every day to
discuss the details.
With the emergence of a lot of key evidence of the case, the detained suspects' psychological defense
lines are gradually disintegrated, and the case has made great progress.
In Southeast Asia, many people are implicated in this case.
...
In L Country, there is a white villa in the middle of a large area of poppy fields in the border mountain. A
man is sitting in the outdoor balcony on the second floor. He holds a goblet in one hand and a box of
white powder in the other. He looks thoughtfully at the field below. The field looks ordinary, but in fact it
is extraordinary.
"Hawk, more and more people are involved in this case. Are we really not going to cutting off some of
them?" a foreigner, Nero, says not far from the balcony.
"I remember Kerwin said that this case was not that complicated," Hawk says indifferently, showing no
emotions.
He is wearing a white nightgown that covers his legs. He is 1.88 meters tall. Even if he is half-lying on
the railing, he looks tall and strong.
Nero is lost for words, and he can't help but feel sorry for Kerwin. He says, "It wasn't very complicated,
but things go wrong and are out of our control to our surprise."
Hawk suddenly chuckles. However, his laughter is cold and chills Nero. He says, "Surprise? We're
doing a special business. We have to make sure everything is under our control."
Nero is frightened and lowers his head. He is afraid of looking at Hawk and he says in a cold sweat,
"Hawk, I promise that you will get a satisfactory result!"
"You want me to trust you again?" Hawk finally says something. He turns around and walks into the
room against the sunlight behind him. He stops in front of Nero and says, "Are you sure?"
Nero feels that he still has a chance to survive. He looks up at Hawk, who is so young and energetic.
Hawk has a perfect mixed-race face and looks harmless. However, once you look at his eyes, you
would realize how dangerous he is.
He is like a sleeping lion, which will wake up and attack you at any time.
Nero can't help but shiver. He says, "Hawk, please give me a chance. I will take good care of it!"
"If I give you a chance but you fail again, who will bear my losses? How can I explain it to others?"
Hawk looks at Nero coldly. Nero is overwhelmed.
"But... since this is happening..."
"This is happening?" Hawk laughs arrogantly as if he hears a big joke. After laughing, he suddenly
turns a gun on Nero's head and says, "You mean that I have to trust you since things are as that bad?
You should know that I hate threats!"
Nero feels the cold muzzle of the gun on his forehead. His life is so weak now and he is powerless. He
raises his hands over his head and says anxiously, "I didn't mean that. I never think of that. I just want
to try to make up for the losses as much as possible!"
Hawk narrows his eyes and asks threateningly, "What if you can't retrieve the losses?"
Nero doesn't know how to answer, but he knows that he has to say something now. A few seconds
later, he grits his teeth and points at his head, "If I can't retrieve any losses, I will kill myself."
"You're betting your life on it," Hawk says slowly. Nero is overwhelmed in such a strange atmosphere.
Hawk finally moves the gun away and says, "I will go over there with you. If anything goes wrong, you
will get more than a bullet!"
"Yes!"
will get more than a bullet!"
"Yes!"
