A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1603

Caspian returned to the hospital later on and gently knocked on the door. Larry gave him a nod and adjusted Joan's blanket before quietly leaving the ward.

“What did you manage to find out?" Larry asked as the two of them sat down on the benches in the corridor.

“Everything. The name of the man leading the operation is Yuri Jovovich. You can think of him as a captain or something. He almost got killed while carrying out a mission in Marsingfill, and Carl was the one who saved him, so he owes Carl a favor, and the attempted abduction of your son earlier was his way of repaying that favor,” Caspian explained.

“All that just to repay a favor? I doubt the people of J Nation are that grateful. There's no way Yuri would've agreed to do this for free,” Larry said in a stern voice.

Caspian was impressed with his sound analysis. “You're right. Carl promised him a reward of five million if he could get the job done successfully, which would allow him to live the high life back in J Nation.”

That explains everything, then. Even I would be powerless against him if he were in J Nation, and Yuri knows it. That's why he was willing to take such a huge risk!

“Boss, there's something I'd like to ask you...” Caspian said with a confused look on his face.

“You're curious as to how I knew Carl was behind all this?”

Larry knew Caspian all too well.

“Yeah, how did you know? We didn't receive any information on that beforehand!”

“It was just a guess, actually. Carl and Gabriella are the ones responsible for most of the problems we've had lately. Gabriella no longer has the resources to do us any harm, but Carl does. He must have a burning hatred for us after we broke his legs, and Gabriella divorcing him would only fuel that hatred even further. Therefore, it's most likely that he would be hellbent on getting his revenge on us,” Larry replied calmly.

“That's it?” Caspian asked in disbelief.

“Yup! I didn't have a better idea at the time, so I figured I might as well give it a shot. If I get it right, Yuri is sure to freak out, and that will give us a perfect opportunity to strike.”
