In those three years, her life had a tremendous change. It could be said that joining this club had almost changed her whole life.
Later, because of some accident, she left the club and went back to Ambario alone.
In the recent two years, she almost had cut off all means of contact with Dragon Club.
Except for Mr. K, who was in charge of the underground businesses when he was in the club and had also left Dragon Club earlier, nearly no one knew where she was.
However, in the past two years, Zoe had been keeping an eye on this club.
She had noticed that there were a lot of internal conflicts in Dragon Club. However, she was pretty far away from them, so she didn’t know
many details.
Much to her surprise, it turned out to be quite serious.
If not mistaken, she could remember that Luke was one of Curtis’s students.
Luke was an orphan. Curtis used to sponsor her to go to school. By accident, he found that she was talented in car racing, so he let her join Dragon Club.
She was just eighteen or nineteen, still a college student. She had only been in the club for three years. Zoe wondered who on earth wanted to kill her.
“What on earth happened?”
Zoe pulled a long face.
Curtis shook his head.
“She was murdered. Her body was found in the lake. We haven’t caught the murderer yet.”
“Have you offended someone?”
Curtis snorted.
“We’ve offended a lot of people. Over the years, no one dared to take revenge on us.”
Zoe quieted down.
What Curtis said was true.
Although inside Dragon Club, the conflicts and fights were serious, the members were quite united when they were dealing with outsiders. After so many years of development, it had become deeply rooted and quite powerful. Not many people could afford to offend them, let alone murdering one of them.
Seeing that Zoe looked annoyed, Curtis smiled.
“All right. I just want to inform you of the news. She’s my student, not yours. You don’t need to look as if you are in a deep hatred.”
Curtis rubbed her hair, quite playful and cheeky.
Zoe glared at him.
However, she realized that she had already quitted. Although something happened now, she couldn’t do anything to help.
Hence, she didn’t continue the subject. She asked, “Then tell me. What on earth do you want since you come to me?”
Curtis raised his eyebrows, looking quite playful. With a smile, he said, “Certainly for supporting your career.”
“What do you mean?”
“TSK. You’ve dumped your car racing career and become a businesswoman. As your good friend, I should come back to support you, shouldn’t I? It just happened that I also planned to come back to Ambario for my career recently. I don’t want to make a choice. Please let me work in your company.”
Zoe looked at him in confusion.
“Is that all?”
“Or what?”
Curtis smiled cheekily. “I know you’ve married Henry Han, and you won’t care much about my little support, but I told myself to follow my heart. Don’t worry. I won’t mind that you are a married woman…”
Before he finished his words, Zoe violently attacked him with her elbow.
Curtis had predicted it already. He dodged aside while grinning. He mocked her, “TSK. Why did your ears turn red? I’m just kidding!”
With a cold look, Zoe asked, “How did you know things about me?”
“You didn’t hide it intentionally. Is it so difficult to know about them?”
Zoe thought for a while. She had to admit that his words made sense.
Although her relationship with Henry wasn’t exposed in public, she didn’t deliberately hide it.
They had attended a lot of activities together. Those who had paid attention should have known it.
Curtis had a large network, so it wouldn’t be weird for him to know it.
She said in a cold tone, “That’s good then. You’d better put away your nasty thoughts. Except for your work, don’t disturb me during the spare time.”
Curtis smiled meaningfully. “TSK. We had an agreement to not stop until we die. What’s so important you’ve married? You can divorce, anyway!”
As he spoke, he wanted to touch her again. She grabbed his hand.
“Behave yourself!”
Seeing that her face darkened, Curtis didn’t dare to get too far, so he put away his smile.
“Okay. Give me your answer. Will you sign with my company or not?”
Zoe snorted slightly.
“Yes!”
He was a cash cow coming to her on his own. Of course, she would accept it.
As she answered, she went out and asked Elsa to get a copy of the contract.
Curtis stared at her back, and the smile on his face faded away. A deep and complicated light was twinkling in his affectionate eyes.
Zoe soon came back with a contract.
“Show it to your agent. Read through all the conditions carefully. You can’t blame me should anything happen.”
Curtis didn’t call his agent at all. He raised his big hand and signed on it.
“Not necessary. If you’re willing to set me up truly, I’ll be overjoyed.”
After going through the procedure, Zoe didn’t stay in the company for a long time.
She left the following up issues to Elsa and Curtis’s agent. Then she left the company.
When she walked out, Curtis followed her. With a cheeky smile, he asked, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I finally managed to come back from abroad. Why don’t you treat me to a welcome dinner? If not, we can at least have a welcome tea together.”
Zoe checked the time on her wristwatch and answered expressionlessly, “I’m busy.”
“TSK. You are so heartless.”
She suddenly stopped and remembered something. She turned to look at him.
“Where do you live now?”
Curtis’s eyes lit up.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why? Do you want to come to my place? That’s awesome. We can have a candlelight dinner and then we can chat overnight…”
“Enough. You don’t need to tell me. I’ll ask your agent later. Remember, behave yourself when working for me. Don’t get me into any trouble, especially you can’t let me see your tidbits. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a good lesson.”
Curtis looked as if he would shed tears.
“Zoe, you should know it those women all cling to me desperately. You are the only one in my heart. You must believe me.”
Zoe wasn’t in the mood to talk nonsense with him. After reminding him, she left.
She was quite surprised that Curtis suddenly came back.
However, she didn’t overthink. After all, he always did things at his will. Recently, artists all love to develop their career back in Ambario, so it wasn’t weird.
After arriving home, Zoe received a call from Henry.
William was aged. During this New Year’s holiday, except for Henry, all other family members went back home with their children.
It was supposed to be a happy holiday, but his disease broke up all of a sudden. Fortunately, his condition had been stabilized. It was his old disease, which couldn’t be cured completely. The doctor asked him to recover at home and not to be too worried and anxious.
Zoe could hear that he still hadn’t finished his words, so she asked, “Do you have something to talk to me?”
“Ehn.” Henry didn’t deny it. After a few seconds, he continued, “Zoe, let’s make our relationship public.”
Zoe was a bit taken aback.
Making it public? Should she go back to Eqitin?
In fact, she didn’t need to worry about anything.
They had been together for almost half a year. During this period, Henry had been doing very well.
Although she wasn’t clear what kind of feeling she had for him, she was sure about one thing she wouldn’t deny spending the rest of her life with him.
Zoe looked down, pressing her lips.
After a moment, she answered, “All right. When I finished my mother’s matter. I’ll go back with you.”
