Chapter 190
Mufron.
Luther finally settled down his negotiation with Mufron over a real estate project.
Against all the overseaspetitors, he gave up two percentage points of interest for the entire
seaside beach resort and super seven-star hotel package. Originally it was impossible for him to
concede. Perhaps it might take a few more days, but they would certainly be able to meet his
expectations, since the other party was also quite nervous about the negotiation.
However, he was so eager to go home this time and did not want to waste more time on the
negotiation.
Casey and Luther came together on a business trip to Mufron, where negotiations had just ended and
the other side had left.
Casey could see that Luther had been distracted, and he couldn''t help but ask, "Luther, is something
on your mind. What do you need me to do?"
Luther looked down at his cell phone. It must be midnight already back at home. He called Joyce
numerous times but she did not answer, and finally she simply turned off the phone. How dared Joyce
not even answer his call! When he got back, he would certainly teach her a lesson!
However, in addition to irritation, he had also begun to feel unease. He thought that things were a bit
unusual.
When he heard Casey ask him, he shook his head, "Nothing."
"What a pity that today''s negotiations didn''t meet our expectations. Luther, in fact, we can hold out a
little longer." Casey was a little upset.
"Huh." Lutherughed coldly, "Sometimes one step back willter lead to two steps forward. Just wait
and see, they think the money is so easy to earn? In less than a year, I''ll make them give back all the
extra profit they got today."
"So you already had ns. That''s great!" Casey looked at Luther admiringly. Luther was decisive, and
the R&S Group was only getting better and better.
Casey finished his papers and lifted his briefcase, knowing that Luther did not n for this trip before
they left and that Luther must have Joyce on his mind, so he volunteered, "Luther, I''ve booked a flight
for tomorrow night. Tomorrow morning we have an appointment with Professor Williams, who has been
looking forward to your visit for a long time."
Luther was walking while dialing Stephanie''s phone number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is turned off."
His heart was shrouded in greater gloom, panic and an inexplicable sense of emptiness, which
upied his entire mind and soul.
Maybe, Grandma was just sleeping. He reassured himself.
He wanted to call Jacqueline or Shelly, and when he was ready to press the button, he didn''t feel right.
After all, Joyce and Shelly had gotten into trouble just a few days before. He did not want to continue to

expand the conflict. After all, a family was a family.
Aaron was sent by him to the Capital on an errand these days and was not in Khebury.
He hesitated and finally dialed Joyce''s number again.
It was still off.
"Damn it." He let out a low curse, looking incredibly annoyed.
Inadvertently he slipped in his hands. "Bang!" The phone fell on the stairs, rolling several times, and
coincidentally fell from the gap under the stairway handrail to the first floor, in pieces.
Casey saw this and was ready to run down the stairs to retrieve the phone.
Luther reached out an arm to stop Casey. He frowned, and slowly walked down the stairs. Fortunately
it was not high, only three floors.
Soon he walked to the first floor where the phone fell, only to see the phone in pieces, the battery has
fallen off, and the back cover also popped out.
He crouched down and tried to pick the phone up.
When he just touched the phone, suddenly, there was a stabbing pain between the fingers. He
instinctively retracted his hand, and then look at his finger, a blood scar clearly visible, and blindingly
bright red blood beads condensed and rolled down. The wound is quite deep.
"Luther, you''ve cut your finger! We must stop the bleeding first!" Casey followed, and he whimpered,
"The phone screen is broken and there''s broken ss all over the floor. Luther, it''s better if I pick it up."
