Female NovelPeter’s eyes sparked with interest as he recollected the event.
Mark slowly unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt, his voice low and suppressed. “I recommended Paul to take over that project. But today’s news from the meeting revealed that both Paul and his wife died in a freak car accident.”
Peter fell into a daze, trying to process the shocking news.
Mark lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling slightly.
Finally, he took a drag, but he concealed the most important detail from Peter—the visible injuries on Paul and his wife’s bodies, evidence they paid the ultimate price to safeguard sensitive information.
Now, someone had to take over the project.
Mark was chosen for the task. He had no choice but to accept the responsibility, even though it was a dangerous undertaking.
Then he slowly reached into his pocket and took out the velvet box. He had planned to propose to Cecilia today, and the wedding would’ve taken place in the spring… ?
But now, this didn’t seem possible.
Mark continued to smoke, the image of Paul’s wife’s tragic death lingering in his mind.
Although Mark didn’t say anything more, Peter was a sensitive observer. He guessed what was on his boss’ mind.
But he kept silent.
Just then, their black Audi suddenly collided with another vehicle, causing Mark to be flung forward from the impact.
When the car came to a stop, a man in black on the motorcycle in front of them turned around to look at them. He seemed to scrutinize them intently.
The driver cursed. Before he could get out of the car and confront the biker, Mark stopped him, wincing in pain.
“Don’t get out of the car.
Things could be more dangerous than they look.”
As expected, the man observing them zoomed off when he saw that they weren’t going to do anything.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Peter climbed to the back seat and inquired worriedly, “Mr. Evans, are you alright?”
Mark clutched his waist and abdomen, suspecting that one of his ribs was broken.
Still, he maintained expressionless and replied, “They probably received the news when I was still in the meeting. This overseas company is truly audacious.”
Gritting his teeth, Mark was determined to find these people and avenge Paul and his wife, but right now, Mark had to focus on protecting himself first.
