Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

As soon as their eyes met, the three of them could sense danger in the air.

He tapped his fingers on the table. Then, as he controlled himself, Elijah spoke: "Then we'll go back on our words. We'll make use of these matters to raise a fuss, and then..."

"Turn the tables?"

The moment Hart spoke, Elijah nodded his head. "That's what I'm thinking about!"

In an instant, Hudson understood.

"But if that's the case, we'll need time. If we want to completely turn the tables, we need concrete evidence. We'll have to drag this out for perhaps more than a year. It's alright for them, but we'll lose a lot!"

Even if they managed to reverse the situation, everyone would still suffer. Wouldn't it benefit those in the same industry?

"So, we have to let them make a ruckus and cooperate with them. Don't let them take the reins!"

After thinking for a while, Elijah said,

"Find a lawyer to negotiate first. Go with more people and remind them to be polite and sincere. Don't fight against them even if they do something. Don't show any warning signs or deliberately provoke them! The aim is to discuss this matter, not to threaten or make trouble! We are secretly gaining evidence in case anything happens. If they are willing to cooperate, we can drag this out. If they are unwilling to cooperate, then we need to stand our ground that no matter what, we must sign the contract. Pay for what we should pay and don't escape from what we need to do! Choose your men!"

He withdrew his gaze from Hart and turned to the other side.

"Go and verify the case and find evidence! Find more doctors to understand the medical side of things. As for the person who accidentally died, find out if it is suicide, murder or an insurance scam, we need a clear conclusion! For the time being, we just keep the evidence and not make it public! As for how to deal with it and when to make it public, it will depend on the evidence and the subsequent development. It's best to put it off until May 20th-"

One shot, one kill!

Otherwise, if they rushed this, there might be problems in the future. In the insurance industry, especially when it came to the human bodies, there were too many unknown factors. As Hart said, every little thing was a moving piece. If they were not careful, there would be a domino effect that would topple them down.

This matter was not done by those in their industry. After all, they know the players in this industry and he knew his friends. He controlled the company so it was likely that whoever did this was not yet revealed.

That night, the three of them discussed about this matter very late before leaving the company. By the time Elijah returned home, it was already past eight o'clock. He was still thinking about this matter when a gentle and beautiful figure came up to him.

"You're back?"

She reached out and took the business bag and coat from his hands. Carolien's gaze was burning with anxiety. "Have you eaten yet?"

Only then did he notice that his mother was also inside the room and that she had Tyrell in her arms. Elijah's serious expression softened a little. "Not yet. I've been too busy with work."

Holding the child in her arms, Mrs. Luther stood up and said, "I told you that we shouldn't wait for you. Carolien even prepared dumplings for you but she didn't let me call you because she was afraid of disturbing you-"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at Elijah. It was as if she was saying: You've found a good wife, yet you still don't know how to cherish her?

Mrs. Luther signaled with a look, and the servants beside her went to cook.

Elijah squeezed Carolien's hand and smiled. "Mom, your body didn't have any adverse reaction over the past two days, right? You have to take care of yourself and rest. Why hasn't Tyrell fallen asleep yet?"

Usually at this time, if he was not allowed to go to bed, he would throw a tantrum!

Moreover, it might be because he was not familiar with the new environment, he cried and didn't sleep for the first two days. He made a fuss even when Carolien took care of him. In the end, he had to move Carolien's bed over. Even the style of the room had been repaired. Then he slept very soundly every night. They were talking in the room, and the noise at the door didn't affect him at all.

"His afternoon nap was later than usual today so probably he is still excited and don't feel sleepy yet!"

Elijah washed his hands and hugged the child. They chatted for a while, and the servants quickly brought out the dumplings. Elijah just ate at the coffee table.

Tyrell stared at him and smacked his lips, which made Mrs. Luther laugh. In the end, she got someone to cook some runny porridge for the baby and fed it to him. He should have some milk before going to bed.

Sure enough, after drinking a few mouthfuls, he stopped eating and couldn't sit still. Finally, Carolien took him upstairs to rest. Mrs. Luther looked at her son.

"Is there anything wrong with the company?"

His stopped eating and raised his head. "Mom, you don't believe in my ability?"

"Believing is one thing. Being conceited is one thing. At any time, being careless will lead to a great loss! Carolien came back before four o'clock. I saw that she was a little restless as she came and see Tyrell—"

As his mother, it would be a lie if she was not worried. However, Mrs. Luther still controlled herself. Usually, if her son did not speak, she would only give him some advice and would probe too further in.

He turned to look at the stairs. Elijah's eyes were filled with warmth as he spoke.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. This little storm is nothing. I don't know about others, but don't you believe me? You just need to rest and take good care of yourself, and support me!"

That's right!

It was not easy for the Luther family to turn Eighth Casino and the Triumphoods Group to where it was now. Only they knew what they had to go through to get to where they were.

In the end, she didn't say anything more. She patted him on the shoulder and then stood up. "Eat more and rest early. I'm too old for this. I have to go back to sleep!"

After coaxing the child to sleep, Carolien was just about to go out when she saw Elijah walking in.

She signaled him to be quiet and then pulled him out of the door. She handed the child to the servants. Knowing that Mrs. Luther had left, Carolien pulled him directly to the study.

After closing the door, she eagerly asked about the whole thing.

"Tell me the truth. It can't be that the company can't take out 300,000 dollars, right? Did the report say 300,000 or 3 million dollars? Or more? I have that much money! Why is there such a big news about this amount of money?"

Seeing that her eyes were wide open and how she grabbed onto his arm, Elijah sat down and pulled her onto his lap.

"Looks like I married a rich woman? As expected, you don't care about a few million dollars now that you're rich."

In the past, she was not so generous. She made him pay 10,000 dollars for wine!

After punching him, Carolien frowned and said, "I'm serious. Why are you still laughing?"

"I'm not running a charity organization! If someone is sick, or if someone dies, I'll have to pay for it. Even if I have a mountain of gold, it won't be enough!" Elijah pinched her cheeks and his eyes softened a little.

"The tabloids must have written

nonsense about you before. You're a public figure so how can you believe this kind of news? If you search the web, there is so much news with their version of the truth. There are also people who support them and those who support us. With the

freedom of press, many news outlets can write whatever they want without any consequences!"

"Do you mean that the report is false? Don't hide things from me. Although I don't understand your profession,

it must be a big deal for you to make the headlines! Tell me the truth, are you okay? Don't be stubborn. If anything happens to you, Tyrell and I..."

Thinking of something, Carolien's eyes suddenly turned red and she burst into tears.

In the past, she had never felt much about the importance of living nor was she afraid of dying. But now, she would go for regular checkups. She was afraid of dying!

"Silly girl! Why are you crying? When did you become so fragile? Even if the Triumphoods Group is gone, I

still have so many houses, cars, and other assets, as well as No.8 Casino and you. You're such a rich woman,

why are you so worried?"

Wiping away her tears, Elijah said,

"Haven't you heard of insurance scam? It's not only done by dead people, but also the living! Carolien it's good to have sympathy, but it's not necessarily a good thing to over sympathize with everyone! Many disabled beggars kneeling on the ground may be richer than you! You can't judge a book by its cover!"

When she looked up, Carolien felt relieved. She blinked her eyes and said, "Do you mean that they are

making trouble for insurance money?"

The price was too high! But she had seen a lot of such cases in the news!

Indeed, when she saw the news, she was worried about him. But she also knew that he was unscrupulous.

After all, the person was dead and needed money for treatment. How could he refuse the compensation?

"Although the wife of the deceased was confirmed to have fallen off the

building by accident, this is only the preliminary judgment by the doctor. We still need proof from the police. In other words, we need the diagnosis of a coroner. Therefore, it's not that we don't want to pay the compensation, it's just not per our procedure. Other than that, it's hard to say if it is suicide or murder! 300,000 dollars is not a lot but it's still not a small sum, right? It's enough for some to live out their

whole life! And it's the same with medical treatments. For example, someone found out that he had

colon polyps. He didn't operate or treat it cut but bought medical insurance. After three months or one year later, he asked for compensation with cervical cancer. Do you think this is an insurance scam? It's not just the poor who bought insurance. 300,000 is not a lot of money, I'm fine to donate that

to the charity but not for dirty methods like this! I can affordnoveldrama

300,000 for a person, but if I consider the country's population, and if each person requested for

half a million or one million, can I afford that?"
