Chapter 910 Not Being To Assist
"It seems that you have come prepared today. Well, come in and have a seat."
As Luca spoke, he led Jara into the house.
When the two of them entered, a servant served them tea.
"Mr. Marsh, is there a guest?" asked a delicate voice before they sat down.
Kayla was wearing a dark red bodycon dress as she proceeded down the stairs.
Her hair was still a mess, and she appeared to have just gotten out of bed.
She was taken aback when she saw the man in the living room, and her expression shifted abruptly.
Luca's gaze was a little deep. He looked at her and then thoughtfully looked at Jara. Then, he said with a smile, "Kayla, it's Mr. Holland. Come and greet him."
Kayla's smile had frozen. She paused for a few moments before regaining her composure and approaching.
"Mr. Holland, why do you think of visiting today?"
There was a hint of mockery in her tone.
Jara didn't even bother to look at her. "I came here today to ask you something," he murmured, looking at Luca.
Luca raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes. You may ask."
After, Jara placed a document on the table.
Luca's finger, which was holding the cup, slightly paused. His eyes dimmed as his gaze fell on the document.
Because the document was opened, he could read the content without having to pick it up.
It was the information on the three men, with their detailed background, as well as the places they had been to recently.
Most importantly, they were all concluded to be involved in Emmeline's disappearance.
Then, Jara went on to say, "I've known you for so many years, so please don't beat around the bush. You know my relationship with Emmeline, as well as her disappearance. These three men are from your family. If Emmeline is in their hands, I hope you can return her to me."
For a moment, Luca fell silent.
After a few seconds, he finally smiled as he looked at Jara.
"Jara, I understand that Emmeline's disappearance has had a significant impact on you. I'm also aware of what happened to you and the Icarus Association during this period, but..."
He paused for a second and smiled. "I'm a businessman. Besides, Miss Illington is not only your lover but also my friend. Why would I kidnap her for no reason?"
"Furthermore, according to the investigation results, these three men only appeared in the place where Emmeline was last seen. There was no evidence that they kidnapped her."
"Well, there were a lot of people in the area at the same time on that particular day. How did you know it was my men who kidnapped her?"
As soon as he uttered it, the atmosphere suddenly became mute.
There was a tense mood in the room.
It was only after a long while that Jara said coldly, "In that case, you're not willing to admit it?"
Hearing this, Luca let out a soft sigh and added, "It's not that I don't want to admit it. If it was really me who did it, there's no way I'm not going to admit it now that you've come to my place, right?"
"But in fact, I'm not clear about this. I've never given such an order, so please forgive me for not being able to assist you with Miss Illington's whereabouts."
He then turned away from Jara and didn't look at him again.
At the same time, he seemed quite indifferent.
Jara nodded.
He stood up.
Just when everyone thought he would turn around and leave, he abruptly grabbed a gun from the back of his waist and placed it on Luca's head.
Everyone's face turned pale with fright.
Although only three of them were in the house at the time, there were numerous ambushes both inside and outside the manor.
In addition, the living room included cameras that were linked to the security room.
As a result, as soon as he drew out the gun, the door burst open, and a swarm of security guards rushed in.
"Drop the gun!"
They pointed at Jara and shouted angrily.
At the same time, Quan and the others who had been waiting outside noticed something was wrong. They rushed in and surrounded them as well.
The mood was intense, and a fight was about to erupt.
Kayla, who was at a side, was so startled that her mouth could be stuffed with an egg. With a pale face, she observed the changes in front of her.
Luca's face turned cold.
He said quietly, "Jara, what do you mean by this?"
Jara said coldly, "Tell me where Emmeline is, and I'll leave right away."
"Let go of Mr. Marsh, or we'll shoot," yelled one of Luca's security men.
Jara swept over his gaze, and his aura frightened the man. The man suddenly found himself unable to articulate what he wanted to say.
Quan and the rest also surrounded them. All they had to do was wait for Jara to give the command, and they'd get rid of them all.
Therefore, the situation became a stalemate in an instant.
In the end, Luca raised his hand and motioned for his men to keep quiet.
Then he calmly looked at Jara and explained, "I didn't lie to you. I really have no idea where she is. As for the three people you're talking about..."
He paused and went on, "The Marsh Family is enormous, and I'm just one of the insignificant minions. Although the three of them have previously worked for me, they are not my men. I can provide you their locations if you need them, and you can find them on your own. As for Miss Illington, I really didn't touch her."
Jara sneered, "Alright, I'll believe you since you've said so."
Even though he said so, he did not withdraw his hands.
"Then I'll ask you again, who are they working for?" he asked again.
Luca frowned.
"You should at least know who normally supervises them," Jara added.
Luca's eyes were calm and sharp at the same time. "Jara, you're forcing me to betray my family," he murmured.
All of a sudden, Jara let out a mocking laugh.
"Betray? Didn't you claim that Emmeline's disappearance had nothing to do with you all? Why did you suddenly talk about betrayal now?"
As he spoke, he bent down slightly and glared at Luca. Then, word by word, he said, "Don't worry. I won't make things difficult for them as long as Emmeline isn't in their hands. On the contrary, if I find out that she's with them..."
For a little while, he laughed viciously. That voice sounded like a demon, making one shiver in fear.
"I won't let go of them easily either!"
As he spoke, he slammed the gun against Luca's head harder and yelled, "Tell me! Who are they working for?"
The expression on Luca's face was strained.
Jara appeared to be enraged as a result of Luca's words just now.
