After getting enough sleep, he went to his office at the charity commission.
It had become quite a habit of his to go to the office every day and have a good look at his "wealth".
Just a look at it was enough to make him feel energetic the whole day.
Today, he entered the office as usual, closed the door and closed all the automatic curtains.
He made sure no one could ever see him from the outside.
He rubbed his hands and excitedly took down the oil painting on the wall.
When he looked at the safe behind the painting, he was almost drooling.
He skillfully pressed his fingerprint, entered the code, and with a click, he opened the safe.
He froze.
Unexpectedly, it was empty.
He thought perhaps he was just not completely awake yet, so he rubbed his eyes.
He looked again and still there was nothing.
He felt his heart was about to explode and hurriedly reached inside the safe.
All he could feel was the cold, hard stainless steel, and the coldness constantly reminded him that it was empty, all empty!
His mind went blank.
The first thing that came to his mind was that he must inform Otis.
The only person who knew that he had a vault, other than himself, was Otis.
He trembled and shivered as he took his phone out of his pocket.
He called Otis's private number.
When dialing the number, his fingers kept trembling, and he just could not get the numbers right with his trembling fingers.
With great difficulty, he held the phone tightly with both hands. That way, he could only barely control the fierce trembling of his fingers, and finally made the call.
It was over. He knew he was having a heart attack, but he had the door to his room closed and no one outside could see him fall to the ground, much less likely that someone would come in to give him first aid.
He curled up on the ground twitching, and his veins were popping up on his face and neck, and he was running out of breath.
He reached out and his hands were now full of wrinkles.
His eyes were full of hate and reluctance, and it seemed that he still could not believe what he saw.
"Money ... money ..." He hissed, but he could not even hear his own voice now.
At the other end of the phone, only Otis's furious roar remained.
"Hey, hey, idiot! What the hell is going on? Come on!"
"Hey!"
"Asshole!"
Mr. Clark's powerless hand slowly dropped and his eyes closed forever ...

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
