As long as Chanel Karl and Fuan Cruise got married, and as opportunities for interaction increased, revealing the matters concerning Galcan to Fuan Cruise would naturally happen in due course.
Of course, thinking about it was simple, but carrying it out was not as easy.
In Luke's view, this engagent ceremony was just a beginning. In the future, this family would beco even livelier.
There wasn't a single easygoing person among them.
"Ring... Ring..."
Luke's phone rang. He glanced at the screen; it was a call from his informant, Anlek Raul.
"Hello, this is Luke."
"Boss, you guessed right. That guy is driving towards the southern suburbs of Los Angeles."
"Send his location."
"Alright."
Luke hung up the phone and received the location coordinates sent by Anlek Raul.
Three days ago, Daisy had approached Luke, telling him her biological father, Lawrence Miller, ca to the law firm to borrow money. Daisy had refused him and Lawrence Miller left without causing a scene or uttering any threats.
This, however, made her feel uneasy and she asked Luke for help.
Luke then had his informants keep an eye on Lawrence Miller.
Luke suspected that he was likely the one sending threatening letters to Hill Cruise, the employer's son.
As for the reason, Hill Cruise's current wife, Isabel Cruise, was Lawrence Miller's ex-wife, and also Daisy's mother.
According to investigations done by Orty.
Daisy's mother divorced Lawrence Miller eighteen years ago. Afterward, she raised Daisy by herself and fourteen years ago she married Hill Cruise and had a daughter, Erin.
So, when Luke t Isabel Cruise for the first ti, he felt she seed familiar.
Luke approached Fuan Cruise, "Mr. Cruise, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Of course."
The two stepped aside, and Luke said, "Mr. Cruise, I've received information that soone might try to disrupt the engagent ceremony. May I borrow a car to intercept them?"
"Who is it? Why would they do this?"
"It's possible this person is not targeting you specifically.
But, with your vast enterprises and many relatives.
As the head of the family, so might bla you for past grievances. If your engagent ceremony is disrupted, it would sha the entire Cruise family."
"These fellows really never give one a mont's peace." Cruise frowned slightly, "Do you need anything else?"
"No, just a car. The Detective Agency will have others to back up."
"Thank you for your efforts.
I'll have Tom take you to the garage; you may choose any car there."
"That sounds good."
...
Minutes later, a Humr H2 SUT drove out of the estate.
This was a high-powered pickup truck. Luke already had a motorcycle, a car, and was only missing a pickup truck.
This type of vehicle was suitable for suburban driving—tall, powerful, with spacious interiors, driving it felt even better than a Bentley, the only downside being its high fuel consumption.
After driving a distance, Luke saw a black Honda approaching from the opposite direction. He then slowed down and swerved the car to block the middle of the road.
The black Honda stopped, and a man in his fifties, still fairly handso despite his age, stepped out cursing, "Can't you drive? Why are you stopping in the middle of the road?"
Luke stepped out of the car, smiling, "Hey buddy, long ti no see."
The man, surprised, said, "Wow, if it isn't Officer Luke?"
"You reek of alcohol. How much did you drink?" Luke didn't even need to get close to sll the alcohol.
"I had a beer, I'm sober." the man replied dismissively, then asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for a friend's engagent. How about you?"
"Ha, ha." The man chuckled, then asked in return, "Did you co with Daisy?"
This white man was indeed Daisy's biological father, Lawrence Miller.
"No, I was invited by Mr. Fuan Cruise."
"Surprising, climbing up to the Cruise family. Right, finding a wealthy father-in-law is always better than ending up like . The world is still so realistic, repeating the sa dramas, unabated."
"Daisy doesn't even know I'm here. She never ntioned her mother re-marrying.
I ca here not just for Daisy."
"Then I'm curious to know, what exactly is your relationship with the Cruise family?"
"The 'Cruise' we are talking about is not the sa person.
My employer is Fuan Cruise.
He intends to get engaged to a lady, but many are opposed. To ensure that the engagent ceremony goes smoothly, Mr. Fuan Cruise hired a security team.
I am part of that security team."
"Figures, like father, like son, all bastards who love stealing soone else's wife and child."
"Mr. Miller, please leave. Mr. Fuan Cruise does not wish for you to attend his engagent ceremony."
"I don't care what he wants. His son married my ex-wife, even encouraged my daughter to change her surna.
They, the Cruise family, want to steal away my lawyer daughter.
Daisy doesn't want to be close to , doesn't want to help her brother, surely it's her mother and the Cruise family pulling the strings.
My son ends up in jail, my life in shambles, while that old codger of the Cruise family still thinks about getting engaged.
Do you think this world is fair?"
