Ludwik gave up, "Forget it, Reid. My heart still hurts thinking about it. Let's end the call here for now."
He ended the call.
Hearing the dial tone, Reid was confused.
Although he didn't know what Matthew had been up to the entire year he'd disappeared eight years ago, he vaguely felt that something serious had happened.
And it might have benefitted him.
Reid made a decision to go to United States.
He had to find Ludwik and find out the truth.
Selina was strolling around in Perry Group building.
Some employees recognized her, and when they saw her, they would respectfully greet her as Mrs. Perry.
However, some employees could not recognize her and merely regarded her as a commoner.
There was a majority of them who could not recognize her, so she felt happy and relaxed.
After walking around, she finally realized that the Perry Group was not inferior to the YS Group in terms of size.
It was indeed a huge business group.
Her lips unconsciously curled upwards.
She knew that this huge business group was owned by her man, Matthew.
Suddenly, her footsteps came to a halt.
She walked to the research and development department. This department seemed to be newly established, because even the door plate was brand new.
Through the transparent glass, she noticed that many people were busy with test tubes and various liquids in dustproof clothing and masks.
She was a little curious. "What are they doing?" she thought to herself.
As far as she knew, Perry Group was mainly involved in commercial work, real estate, and jewelry. She had not heard anything about a new product.
Just then, a man removed his dustproof clothing and mask and walked out of the door.
There was a weary look on the man's face.
Out of curiosity, she asked, "What's going on inside? There's such a mysterious air here."
The man was startled when he heard her voice. He patted his chest in relief when he caught sight of Selina.
He was a young man, so he was only too happy to talk with a pretty woman.
"Are you new here? I've never seen you before," he asked.
Selina smiled, but didn't say a word.
"Isn't the Perry Group mainly focused on properties and jewelry? What are you developing?" She asked again.
The man said resignedly, "Mr. Perry suddenly made a decision to get involved in the skin care industry. He wants us to develop female cosmetics that are suitable for extremely sensitive skin."
Selina was taken aback.
Only then did she remember seeing a text message on Matthew's mobile phone a long time ago from the Department of Research and Development, requesting an increase in budget.
And Matthew had actually told her about it.
But she had forgotten about it entirely.
The man didn't seem to agree with Matthew's decision, muttering in a low voice, "In fact, I think the president has spent too much manpower and money doing this."
"Ah, why is that?" Selina asked.
The man shrugged and said, "First of all, doing such research isn't as simple as it seems to be. Firstly, we incur huge expenditures to cooperate with the United States, as we don't have good technology here. Besides, women with extremely sensitive skin take up a very small customer base, so we won't earn much profit even if we invest in it. Most of us think that Mr. Perry is doing a thankless investment. Mr. Perry has always been wise. I don't know why he made such an incomprehensible decision this time."
Hearing this, Selina's eyes sparkled.
These people did not know the truth, but she did.
It wasn't that Matthew was doing it for nothing. It was all for her.
She was overjoyed.
Her lips curled slightly. "You are wrong. Maybe Matthew did it specially for the woman he likes. Maybe he spent all this time and effort just to make the woman he likes happy."
The man didn't agree with her.
"You must have watched a lot of TV. There is no such a man, who would pay such a high price just to please a woman?"
