Chapter 3217 She Trusted Luca
"I took these documents with me, so I knew they'd be anxious and worried. Because of that, they would treat Marcos better.
"Even if they still manipulate Marcos like a pawn, as long as Marcos is in their hands, I can't risk exposing these documents.
"I dared not to expose them back then, but it was for the best. At least Marcos can grow up under better conditions. But he will now use these documents to confront M Group. That's why I'm making this request of you..."
"I understand." Luke nodded. As a father of four children himself, he could understand Sarah's thoughts.
"I give you my promise," added Luke as he opened the brown envelope.
Under Sarah's watchful gaze, Luke quickly read through the documents page by page. Sarah also explained the details to him.
Finally, after Luke finished reading the letter Sarah had written to Marcos, he let out a deep sigh
How dirty could a century-old family be?
It was beyond his imagination. Sarah was involved from the start and had managed to gather so much evidence. It showed that the people in the Abaza family were not afraid at all. Even to the point of fearing nothing and no one.
Otherwise, how could they let a married woman gather so much evidence?
Perhaps when Marcos' father passed away, Sarah was caught collecting evidence, hence her escape here. A City was the safest country for her. However, Sarah still lived cautiously here, proving that this evidence was highly detrimental to the Abaza family.
"Ms. Poplar, I've finished reading," said Luke.
Sarah nodded and gave him a relieved smile.
She was worried that Luke would not want to see these documents, as reading them meant potentially getting involved at any time. Still, he read them. It meant Marcos' friend was someone worth trusting.
"Thank you, Mr. Crawford," said Sarah.
"No problem. Anything else?" Luke asked again.
"No, that's all." Sarah shook her head. She had said everything that needed to be said.
Luke glanced at the time, rose to his feet, and said, 'I have an appointment with Marcos at the office this afternoon."
"Alright. Go ahead." Sarah was slightly excited. She did not expect Luke to act so quickly.
After confirming the time with her, Luke immediately arranged to meet Marcos afterward. Luke nodded to Sarah, said goodbye, and left.
When Luke was back at the office, it was already late afternoon. Luke walked into his office with the brown envelope.
Jason followed behind with a stack of documents. "Boss, this is the final confirmed bid proposal. Please take a look."
"Okay." Luke took them, set them aside, and then locked them in the safe. He placed the brown envelope inside the safe too.
Even though the company was under his control, he was very cautious when necessary.
Luke sat in his office chair and had just settled in when Tina's call came through. "Boss, Mr. Abaza is downstairs."
Since Jason was still in Luke's office, the front desk notified them both.
"Have him come to my office. And bring two cups of coffee." Luke hung up and told Jason, "I need to talk to Marcos. I'll look over the documents later."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Okay, boss." Jason understood and stepped out.
He did not leave directly but waited at the door for Marcos.
When Jason saw Marcos walking toward him, he pushed open the office door. "Mr. Abaza, the boss is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you," Marcos replied graciously, then walked into Luke's office.
"Welcome," greeted Luke.
"It's been a long time." Marcos maintained a smile.
Luke said, "Have a seat. Coffee?"
"I've missed your secretary's coffee." Even though Marcos knew what Luke had for him today, he maintained his gentlemanly and humorous demeanor.
Tina knocked and entered, delivering two cups of coffee to them.
"Thank you," said Marcos.
"No problem, Mr. Abaza," Tina replied before closing the door behind her.
As the door closed, Luke went straight to the point. "Would you like to taste the coffee first or go straight to reviewing the documents?"
"Let's dive into the documents." Marcos smiled. Even if Luke did not mention it, he knew what documents he had.
It was documents that could bring down M Group...
He was eager to see them.
Marcos had no initial animosity toward the Abaza family.
He knew he was a pawn, and seeing M Group's prosperity confirmed that he was merely a stepping stone. However, he had no regrets. This family raised him and nurtured him, so making some contributions was only fair. He had received his fair share of rewards for his efforts, so Marcos never felt it was a big deal.
Even though people in his circle mocked him for being foolish, he was willing to handle every task and project for M Group. It was not until he discovered what they had done to his parents that everything changed.
Now, Sarah had handed him a stack of documents. Although he had not looked at them yet, Marcos expected that after reviewing them, his hatred for M Group would turn the world upside down.
Luke noticed that Marcos was ready for this, and he nodded. These documents were exactly what Sarah intended for him to see.
He walked to the safe and entered the code.
Marcos shifted his gaze, not looking at the safe.
Frankly, seeing Luke approach the safe surprised him.
He did not expect the documents to be stored so securely.
Luke opened the safe, retrieved the documents, and placed them in front of Marcos.
"These are what your mother entrusted me to give to you. I've already reviewed them with her consent. I hope you don't mind," admitted Luke.
It was one thing for Sarah to trust him; it was another for Marcos to do so.
Men and women often had different perspectives.
To avoid any future trouble, Luke clarified this upfront, preventing any misunderstandings or disputes down the line.
Marcos did not mind. "My mother trusts you, so do I."
Luke nodded and returned to his seat. It was not that Sarah trusted him but that she trusted Luca. Luca trusted Luke, and that was why Sarah had confidence in him. In this situation, they really needed that trust.
Without Luke, Marcos and his mother would never have reunited.
Marcos calmly opened the brown envelope. He held his coffee cup as he carefully inspected the contents.
The brown envelope was simple in design, but the worn marks and faded color indicated its age.
It was clear Sarah had kept these documents for a long time.
The worn edges and faded color told a story of their own, suggesting she had often revisited these documents.
