Chapter 43 the Progress of the Relationship
He said this from the bottom of his heart. In that case, Lucy Long didn't have to agree at all. A one-
billion order was not a small amount. Such a task was like climbing to the sky for others, but she
accepted it fearlessly.
Men might not have the courage to do so, which made Yank Wood look at this woman with new eyes.
There was a hint of joy in Lucy Long's eyes, and she soon returned to normal. She said angrily, "You
are a man. Sometimes I really envy your cheerful and optimistic attitude. You don't know how to worry
at all."
Yank Wood chuckled. "That's because I have a capable wife!"
After a moment of silence, the two of them smiled knowingly. What happened today had imperceptibly
dissolved the thick ice between them, and the relationship had made new progress, as if they had
known each other again.
"By the way, Lucy, what's your plan?" Yank Wood asked curiously, but he felt a little regretful as soon
as he opened his mouth because Lucy Long felt much better, but she became depressed again
because of this.
Lucy Long sighed secretly, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry. "I don't have any plans. One billion
can be said to be a big project, and there won't be a company that can reach an agreement within a
week. I will try my best to talk to the bosses of those big groups to see if it can work out."
Yank Wood chuckled and said nothing.
This attitude made Lucy Long feel a little annoyed. No matter how bad Yank Wood was, he was still her
husband. Now that she was in trouble, even if he couldn't help her, how could he care more about her?
Why did he pretend to be fine after asking a question?
"Yank Wood, you are really not a man!"
“…”
After returning home, Lucy Long glared at Yank Wood angrily and went upstairs to change clothes and
take a shower.
Yank Wood, who was standing in the living room, smiled helplessly. Lucy Long was sometimes like a
cold goddess, but sometimes like a simple little girl. However, he was still very happy in his heart,
proving that she was slowly opening her heart.
After a while of happiness, his face returned to normal. He picked up his mobile phone, walked to the
window, and dialed Isabel Lane's number.
"You did a good job this time, and the impact is great. You've worked hard." After the call was
connected, Yank Wood praised her generously. Isabel Lane looked very smart, and there was more
appreciation in his eyes.
Not everyone could become his assistant, and he needed to see if they were qualified enough. Isabel
Lane had done a good job in this video, so David Lewis and Zephyr White were completely exposed in
the sunshine, and the two families had also suffered heavy blows.
Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Wood. Is there anything I can do for you so late at night? Isabel
Lane was flattered and asked calmly.
"You should finish the handover of the company as soon as possible. I plan to do something with it."
Yank Wood said as he began to think about how to secretly help Lucy Long.
Isabel Lane nodded. Although she was a little curious, she knew that she was not qualified to ask Mr.
Wood about his thoughts.
In the study of the Long family's ancestral house, Ted Long knelt on the ground, trembling. He lowered
his head and did not dare say anything. Austin Long, who was next to him, looked at the newspaper as
if there was no one around.
"Dad, I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me this time." Ted Long couldn't stand the suffocating
pressure and couldn't help saying, "Jack didn't mean to offend you. He did it for the sake of the whole
Long family."
After following Austin Long for many years, Ted Long understood his father's temper. He was silent and
his face was as calm as water, which proved that he was really angry and the consequences were Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
unimaginable.
The most direct example was that although Lucy Long's father, Tom Brook, was adopted, he had
become the best man in the Long family in just a few years. He even surpassed Austin Long and was
famous in Bayland.
For a moment, he was in infinite glory, and many members of his family believed him. Some people
even publicly recommended him to be the next patriarch. At that time, Austin Long looked indifferent
like this.
In the end, Tom Brook had an accident and died outside.
Even if the outside world thought that Tom Brook went to explore the cave with several big families and
died together for some mysterious reason, Ted Long was sure that this had something to do with Austin
Long.
This was also what made Ted Long anxious. He didn't want to end up like Tom Brook, so he came to
ask Austin Long for forgiveness as soon as possible to dispel his anger.
"Ted, I hope you understand that you are my eldest son. After a hundred years, the Long family will be
handed over to you."
Austin Long slowly raised his head. Suddenly, his pupils contracted and he warned, "There are some
things that should be yours if I give them to you.
If I don't give them to you, you can't take them, understand?"
Hearing this, Ted Long couldn't help trembling, and then nodded awkwardly. "Understood. I'll tell Jack
what you mean when I go back. I promise that he won't dare offend you in the future!"
Austin Long smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "No need. What I said in the hall was serious. If
Jack really wants to do it, as long as he can complete such a challenge, he can be the general
manager."
Ted Long didn't dare neglect him. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Dad, for giving Jack such
an opportunity!"
At this time, he calmed down a little and asked again, "Dad, what should we do next? Do we really let
this matter go? The people of the three families have contact with Lucy Long. I am afraid that she..."
Before he could finish, Austin Long raised his hand to stop him and said with a confident smile, "I know
what you want to say. You are worried that she will do something bad to the Long family like her father.
You can rest assured about that."
Soon there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and he said deeply, "But if such a thing really
happens, I will punish her myself."
"I see!" Ted Long was shocked and said no more.
The next morning, Yank Wood got up early to make breakfast for Lucy Long. When he finished, he saw
her coming down.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and sat down at the dining table.
When they were eating, Lucy Long's cell phone rang. It was the secretary who called. She was a little
surprised that the secretary would never call so early. Something big must have happened.
"What? You said Malvin Lee jumped off the building last night!" Hearing the secretary's words, Lucy
Long immediately put down the chopsticks in her hands and asked in shock.
"Yes, I heard that he owed a lot of debts. The company was about to go bankrupt. In addition to the
bank's urgent debts, Malvin Lee chose to commit suicide when he was unable to repay it."
The Moonlight Group and the GD Company had always been competitive. They were one of the few
opponents in Bayland. Lucy Long knew Malvin Lee very well. He was not a man who chose to end his
life because of setbacks.
How could he suddenly commit suicide?
