Chapter 930
“Do you have any business dealings with the Carlo family of Lostaria?” Sally leaned downward. With her face inches away, Cooper could feel her breath showering his face.
As a tingling sensation descended upon him, he knitted his brows. “No. Please get off me first.”
He then grabbed Sally by the arms, hoping to push her away.
Instead of budging, she questioned with narrowed eyes, “In that case, why are they targeting you and Genevieve?”
Cooper stared at her in shock.
After taking a few more sips of water, she casually explained, “My investigations point to the Carlo family as the ones responsible for attacking Genevieve on the cruise ship. Anonymous assassinations have been their modus operandi. That's why they tried to kill Genevieve and blame me for it. But this time, they actually sent men to openly take you out.”
“I don't know any Carlo family.” In fact, Cooper hadn't even heard of them before. “What sort of business are they in?”
“They're the infamous mafia of Lostaria,” Sally answered.
As if something had occurred to him, Cooper adjusted his spectacles. “Genev has a friend called Jack Valentine. His godfather is Foster, who heads the largest mafia in Dartan. Perhaps the bad blood between Foster and the Carlo family has caused the latter to target those around Jack.”
Staring intently at Cooper, Sally noticed the superficial veins on his long fingers.
The sight of him raising his hand to adjust his spectacles felt inexplicably seductive to her.
Without warning, she took off his spectacles and put them on herself. Scanning the surroundings through the spectacles, she asked with raised brows, “Why are you wearing spectacles when you're not short-sighted at all?”
“I'm a little short—” Cooper stopped abruptly with a grim expression on his face. “What does that have anything to do with you?”
Weren't we just talking about the Carlo family?
Sally climbed down from his legs before leaning against the couch's armrest and placing her feet on his lap. “I have a blister from wearing my heels. Take care of it for me.”
