"Your phone keeps ringing. Why don't you answer it?" Marina said impatiently.
"I don't think it's something important. Anyway, nothing is more important than Mr. Weaver at this point. You can't be so rude."
Luk listened to the conversation between Marina and Jason with a smile. It seemed that he was a sophisticated and successful person.
Marina still cared a lot about the phone call, "It must be something related to the company. Otherwise, there won't be consistent calls. If you don't think it's appropriate to answer it now, then give it to me."
As she spoke, she was about to get Jason's phone.
Jason was terrified that Flora would blurt out and say something inappropriate.
He could not endure the results of offending Marina at this point.
Jason said, "Mr. Weaver, I'm really sorry. I'll need to excuse myself for a moment and go out to answer the phone. My wife also wants to know more about the investment regarding the ore. Please present more information to her."
After saying that, he hinted at Luk and asked him to play his role well.
Jason answered the phone and walked away.
Marina didn't behave herself anymore, and her voice rose a lot. "Luk, what the hell is going on? Why are you here? This is a fraud aiming for Jason's money, right?"
"I had really worked at a multinational company, and I even gave Jason a project to do."
Marina still couldn't believe what Luk said.
He had neither education credential nor work experience, what kind of multinational company would hire him and send him back to Birmingham as their representative?
"Then what about investment in the ore? Where did Jason's money go? Why did you agree with Jason to together commit the fraud against me? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier that the person who could help us Jason was talking about was you, I wouldn't have given my money to Jason to fill in the company's loopholes."
Marina was irritated and she asked a lot of questions.
She had a hunch that she probably had lost her money already.
Since Jason could lie to her that the money had been invested in the ore project, then other things he had told her could also be lies.
"Don't get frustrated. I'm back. If anything happens, I'll help you." Luk comforted Marina.
"What can you do? Do you think I don't know about your capability? Stop acting like a successful person as you did in front of Jason. Now that you come to us directly, are you not afraid that Jason will find out the truth? If that's the case, things will be out of our control completely."
After all, Marina was also guilty. She had lied to Jason for decades.
If Jason found out that Tina was not his biological daughter, how would things end up? She had not asked for her money back yet, so she must prevent Jason to have any further interaction with Luk.
"I came back this time for you and our daughter, I had made a fresh start and started to work hard. From now on, both of you can rely on me."
Ever since Luk became the representative of the multinational company and was dressed in a suit, he was indeed a little arrogant.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tina and I won't live with you. Don't disturb our quiet life anymore. As long as you leave now, I can deal with Jason. I want him to give my money back as soon as possible."
Marina was worried that if Jason found out the truth before he gave back her money, Jason would definitely keep the money himself.
He would hate them so much that he would definitely not return the money to them.
No matter what happened next, Marina just wanted to transfer the money back to her private account.
Before that, she didn't want any unexpected things to happen.
