Chapter 71 - Linked With The Mafia (1/2)

Andrew told Luke everything that had happened. Jayden and Percy were also present when they called. The couple was surprised that Luke already had some information about it.

”I thought you would never tell us. We were waiting for you to open up.” Luke said on the other line.

”How did you know?” Andrew asked while staring at Nina.

They heard Percy and Jaden chuckle.

”Have you forgotten what Luke's software can do?” Jayden asked.

Nina frowned. Then she remembered the day they came into the headquarters. Back then, Luke's software was not complete yet, but it could already hack all communicating devices. As soon as the sender sent the message, it would go first to the mainframe before the recipient could actually receive it.

”Are you spying on me?” Andrew exclaimed.

The men on the other line laughed, then became serious after.

”You can't blame us. We have already experienced so much that we wanted to know everything around us. Don't get me wrong; I didn't really trust you at first, but since you are with my fiance's friend, I have to put my faith in you. I have to monitor all your actions for me to do that.” Luke explained.

Nina was only listening to their conversation. Their friends went through a lot, and most of the people around them conspired with each other. And for what? Power and wealth. Nina couldn't understand how rich people think and act. They already had almost everything in the world, but it wasn't enough. They crave for more.

Andrew couldn't really blame them for not trusting him. They first met during Luke and Alora's engagement, and it was true that he approached Luke because he was the heir to the Wilson Empire. He didn't have any plans to be his friend or even hang out with them. For him, they were just a bunch of kids who didn't know anything about the world.

But he was wrong; they were more than that. They were senior high schoolers, yes. But they were the most competent people he had ever met; each of them was a genius.

Luke was a tech genius, a hacker, and an inventor. Jayden was a math genius, the financial analyst of A.E Corporation. Percy was a strategist, skilled in planning everything, whether it was about business or war.

Andrew sighed.

”So, did it help you to trust me?” He asked.

”Yes. You changed, Andrew. And we know you changed because of Nina. Alora was happy to know that you got married.” Luke answered.

Nina's heart fluttered. She was also happy to hear that their friends were happy for them. As Andrew said, she made him a better man.

”Thank you. Now, care to tell me what you found so far?” Andrew asked.

Nina smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder. She felt tired again. Lately, she gets exhausted quickly. She was already beginning to get worried since the pregnancy tests all turned negative.

”Your mother indeed owned that building. When your father took your sister, he brought your mom to a mental hospital. She became a patient there for three months, then she escaped. She had nowhere to go, so she went to that abandoned building and stayed in one of the apartment units.” Luke started.

”She wasn't alone when she escaped from the hospital. She could never do that without the help of anyone. Do you have any idea who helped your mother?” It was Jayden who asked.

Andrew frowned. He didn't have any good memories with her mother, but he didn't have anything bad either. They didn't usually talk to her because she preferred to be alone. He couldn't think of anyone that could help her.
