Life at The Top novel Chapter 2172

“But again, Miss Ella, wasn’t Declan a little too good to us?”

Ella was taken aback by Luke’s words, but she said later with a slight smile, “Your worries are not unreasonable, but I don’t think you should be so alarmed… After all, we paid for every service Declan provided us, which is in line with a businessman’s business method.”

Luke nodded and said no more.

The next day, at the airport…

Ella and Luke were stopped by a group of people in special uniforms as they prepared to board the plane.

“I’m sorry, you are suspected of a major case of trading state-owned assets. Please cooperate with us to assist in our investigations…”

“We have contracts and agreements, and we have notarized videos. At the same time, we are not from Somerland. So, Somerland doesn’t have the right to penalize us even if there is a problem. Who are you to arrest us?” Luke said coldly.

At the same time, his heart sank.

What he was most worried about had really happened… This might be a trap.

Ella had obviously never experienced such a thing, and at the same time, she could not figure out what was happening. So, she could only stand in place and wait for Luke to deal with it.

When Luke was about to make a call, his communication devices were forcibly confiscated. Then, the two were brought away…

Early the next morning, Jasper got a call from Mr. McNeal.

“Jasper, after urgent discussions, we don’t want to escalate the specifications of this meeting, so the participants will all be excellent business representatives from Somerland and the United States. The meeting is scheduled for three o’clock in the afternoon. Come and participate. We will be using a video conference for this international meeting.”

Jasper replied humbly, “Okay, Mr. McNeal. I will listen in when the time comes.”

After Mr. McNeal finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
