Must be bad influence from Jessica.
“So, how's Jessica? Is she alright?” Larry tried to change the subject and deescalate the tension in the room.
“She's alright. Everything is okay back home. We were just worried about you,” Caspian replied.
“That's good.”
In a corner outside Larry's ward, Della said to her bodyguards, “Don't worry about the Caspian fellow.”
“You got it.”
“But don't let down your guard on Larry.”
She knew that Larry had called Caspian over to assist him in a plan that he was not ready to share with her.
In another development, Malcolm was imprisoned in a hotel by his brother. He was now watching television in a hotel room while his limbs were all tied up.
“How is it going over there, Malcolm?” Matthew asked with a smile.
“Can't complain,” Malcolm answered nonchalantly.
Right now, I'm just thankful to be still alive.
“Tell me, Malcolm, how did you know Della and what's your relationship with her?” Matthew shot his brother a few questions at once.
Malcolm was slightly taken aback but soon pretended that he had heard nothing and let out
a chuckle.
What's he laughing about? Matthew darted to his brother's side and glared at him with unblinking eyes.
“Speak!”
“There's not much to talk about. I've collaborated with tons of people in the past. I can't possibly remember each one of them, can I?” Malcolm teased.
He knew that the sudden appearance of Della on the scene could have something to do with Larry. I know Larry, he will try to save me at all costs.
“Well, she is going to acquire our company.” Matthew tried to dangle a piece of information as bait.
Huh? Is he worried now? Malcolm sneered.
