Chapter 1698: I Made the Decision For You, No Need to Thank Me

From the tones and expressions of the two women, Luke could tell that the taller one had won.

Thinking for a moment, he decided to intervene.

It wasnt a problem for people to work hard, but they should be amply prepared beforehand in order to minimize any risks.

The tall woman was clearly only thinking about making money, and hadnt considered what would happen if she lost too much.

If that happened, she might resort to other means like doing things on the sly.

As a powerhouse who had made a fortune through side businesses, Luke felt that he should teach her a thing or two.

If it was that easy to make a fortune through unconventional means, everyone in the world would do it.

Look at how various underworld bigshots got big ultimately, their huge success still depended on their own business ac.u.men.

Otherwise, if everybody could do it, why would it just be the bigshots who made a fortune?

Besides, it was very risky to try and open a side business.

Luke wasnt afraid. That was because he didnt have any power on the surface at all from beginning to end, it was all his aliases. It would be hard for anyone to find him.

These two women had a cafe. If their ident.i.ties were exposed, they could only abandon their fixed a.s.sets and run. That was the huge investment risk involved.

Earning more money definitely brought more troubles with it.

It seemed that online education was never as effective as a fixed period of hands-on training. Luke sighed and felt that he had to change the mindsets of these two women.

It was late at night, and the city lights were bright at the foot of the hill it felt like looking down at the rest of the world.

Carol walked gloomily around the cafe.

A year ago, to avoid getting caught up in things, she and Lorna had been sent to South America together.

Rebecca had never shown herself, and had simply protected them from the shadows.

The two girls didnt like chaotic Rio. After sending Luke a message a few months later, they came to Santiago, Chile.

Actually, Carol wanted to go to Argentina and become a farm owner. She wanted to raise livestock and farm the land.

But Lorna wasnt Carol, who had died once. She was younger and didnt want to live the life of a retiree so soon.

After they arrived, they used the unexpected wealth which they had gathered in Rio to open the cafe.

This was where they lived.

Carol wasnt partial to this business, but she was quite happy with the environment. Most of the time, she trained on the hill and rarely left.

The presence of a certain number of customers and employees every day ensured that she wasnt divorced from society.

Lorna, on the other hand, often went down the hill to enjoy life in the big city.

Both of them were satisfied with their lives.

In the last half-year, Lorna spent more and more time in the city. She frequently didnt come home for a day or two, and she started spending more and more.

The profits from the cafe werent enough to support her spending.

Carol wasnt Lornas parent or sister. There was no need to care about her personal life.

Besides, Lorna was about to turn 18, and could be considered an adult.

The distribution of profits in the cafe and spending didnt affect the cafes operations either.

After several discussions without any outcome, Carol, who wasnt a forceful person, fell into a dilemma.

They had superpowers and had drawn a lot of trouble in America.

Carol felt that something might go wrong if this went on.

Sigh

, if Mr. Wilson was here, there might be a way, she couldnt help but say for the umpteenth time.

Although Mr. Wilson was a mercenary, he was decisive and gave off a trustworthy air.

Also, he could open his mouth and close a business deal worth tens of millions. Lorna didnt have the courage to make a fuss in front of him.

You could have given me a call, someone said among the trees not far away.

Shocked, Carol asked tentatively, Mr. Wilson?

Taking a few steps forward, she saw a middle-aged man in a brown T-s.h.i.+rt and combat pants sitting on a stone bench next to the path. It was none other than the helpful mercenary she had thought of many times.

She was pleasantly surprised. Why are you here, Mr. Wilson?

Luke took a sip of his coffee and smiled. To try your coffee. Its good.

Saying that, he gestured for her to sit down.

Looking at the logo of her shop on the cup, Carol was a little embarra.s.sed. Its all made by the barista. I dont have the skills.

Luke gave her another cup. Its much harder to be a boss than an employee.

After casually asking about her recent situation, he changed the topic. Do you know about Lorna?

Carol was shocked. What is it?

Luke looked at her and said, Shes pregnant.

Carols eyes widened. What?

Looking at her face, Luke shook his head.

You Well, fine, you indeed dont have any experience.

He said casually, It seems you dont even know that she has a boyfriend?

Carol lowered her head. I didnt know.

She had always been a laidback person. She had sensed that Lorna was hiding something, but when Lorna didnt say anything when she asked, she didnt know what to do.

Luke thought for a moment before he said, Do you want to go back to America? Or start a new life on your own elsewhere?

Carol hesitated.

If she had her own opinions, Lorna wouldnt have taken the lead.

Luke sensed her mental fluctuations. If I make proper arrangements for Lorna, are you willing to start living your own life?

For a long while, Carol was hesitant.

Luke understood completely.

Given Carols personality, it was obvious what she was thinking, or she wouldnt be so hesitant.

A person who was content with the current situation would subconsciously continue down the same path.

It wasnt that Carol was heartless; Lorna was already grown up and was pregnant.

From Lornas behavior in the past half-year, Carol felt that she had become unnecessary, which was why she wanted to break away.

n.o.body would indulge anyone unconditionally in this world. When kids grew up, they rarely hung out with their parents, let alone friends who had just known each other for a few years.

Got it. Luke patted her shoulder when he got the answer he wanted. Ill be here for a week or so. Arrange everything for yourself and say goodbye to Lorna.

He then stood up.

Carol was fl.u.s.tered. So soon? Wait, Mr. Wilson, that

She didnt know what to say.

She was tempted by the idea, but she was also uneasy about her current life coming to a sudden end.

Luke looked down at her. Hm?

Looking at his calm face, Carol paused.

Youre not good at making decisions, so I helped you make one. No need to thank me. He patted her shoulder again and went down the hill.

Carol stood there blankly for a long time.

Luke reached the foot of the hill, and Selina met him on the other side.

She couldnt help but chuckle and b.u.mp his shoulder. I helped you. No need to thank me. Young man, youre becoming better and better at acting.

You know that acting is useful, so you should work harder. Luke rolled his eyes. If it were Selina, he wouldnt have needed to say something like that to her.

That was because Selina had her own thoughts. She would make a decision soon after Luke revealed everything.

Besides, it was never easy to make a decision for someone else, unless you thought nothing of them.
