"Hello, Mr. Clarke," Tristan, Zack's special assistant, answered the call.
Playing with the crystal, Zack frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Ivan Marsh has been looking for this crystal. He saw it a few days ago. Why didn't he make any move?"
"I'm also puzzled about it," Tristan answered thoughtfully, "Our men have been spying on him and will keep you updated."
"What on earth is in Ivan Marsh's mind?" asked Zack. "Why does he look for this half of crystal? Does he also believe the rumor?"
"What does the rumor have to do with the crystal, then?" Tristan said, "Upon his intelligence, he won't be so stupid to believe the crystal is the key to the treasure base."
Zack narrowed his gaze. "No matter what he's thinking about, we must be alert. More and more people are watching the Clarke family and the treasure."
"OK, Mr. Clarke."
Zack ended the call, standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the dark. As the president of the Clarke Group, he was well respected.
After bidding on the glorious daytime and returning home, he was also bothered.
"Daddy, dinner... is ready. Eat?" his 12-year-old son suffering from mental retardation looked into the study timidly.
Zack put away the crystal and walked towards the boy. "Eason, did you learn reading today?" He bent over and lifted his son with a smile.
"Ehn. I... I did." Eason thought for a while in his arms. After they were about to go downstairs, he finally uttered, "I learned 'big'. B-I-G."
When Zack was about to praise Eason, he saw a strange woman in the living room with his wife and daughter.
"Zack," Joan said gently, "Jolly needs to take care of her daughter. I found a new maid from the agency."
"Good evening, Mr. Clarke. Please call me Leeny." The woman was in her fifties, wearing plain clothes. She sounded not too humble nor too arrogant. "I've been working as a maid for 30 years. I'm good at cooking, laundry, and cleaning."
Zack put down his son, and his gaze fell on the new maid. He went downstairs.
