Marina went to Holland to ask Luk for help in an attempt to pave the way for Tina's future.
She was going for wool and came home shorn. Marina didn't expect that Jessica got the benefit and married to the Williams family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have put much effort to get Tina into the Williams family.
At this critical moment, she didn't want Luk to spoil her plan.
When Luk heard that Marina chased him away from Birmingham, he did want to leave immediately.
However, he had no freedom now. Luk had to obey Jane's command.
Besides, if he left Birmingham now, he didn't know where to stay.
At least, he didn't worry about food and accommodation. Jane arranged all for him and she could also protect him.
When Luk was in the European countryside, he couldn't even sleep soundly.
He was afraid that his creditors would find him and then torture him.
Luk said on the phone, "Marina, it took me a long time to come back to Birmingham. Why do you chase me away? I think it's time for a family reunion."
"Luk, stop talking nonsense. I had broken up with you a long time ago. It's impossible for us to be together. Give up on me."
"Let's talk about it when we meet. The last time we met, Jason was around and I couldn't even talk to you."
"No need. Don't call me again."
After Marina finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
Hearing Luk's nonsense, she was panting with rage.
Now she was rich, in charge of a company. She would be a fool if she accepted Luk again.
Marina called Nanny Zamani to prepare dinner.
Jason didn't come back for dinner, so she ate alone.
She had bad luck for the past few days. Now she finally saw a favorable turn. So Marina was going to enjoy the delicious food and everything around her.
As soon as Nanny Zamani served all dishes, she heard the doorbell ringing outside the door.
Soon, Nanny Zamani ran in and said to Marina, "Madam, someone is here for you."
Marina was surprised and wondered who would come to her house in the evening.
She suddenly had a bad feeling that it might be Luk.
Marina immediately put down her chopsticks. Before she could even take a bite of the freshly prepared food, she got up and went out.
When she walked to the door, she saw the man standing at the door. It was Luk.
Marina pulled Luk into the darkness and said nervously, "Why do you come to my house? Do you want to ruin me?"
"Marina, I want to see how you've been since I last saw you. So I came uninvited. Please forgive me."
"Leave now. Jason will come back later. If he sees us, he will know everything."
As Marina spoke, she dragged Luk out.
"Don't worry. Jason just spoke to me on the phone. He's working overtime at the company now. Don't be too nervous. He worked overtime to solve a small problem brought up by me temporarily."
Marina relaxed a little when hearing his words.
"Don't come to my house again. Nanny Zamani has already seen you. If you come here again, I'm afraid that Nanny Zamani will spill the beans in front of Jason. Then, it will be bad."
"Okay, I see. But I came here today because I was sure that Jason wasn't home."
