"It looked familiar.

Uh...
..." It was the number of the girl he had just met.
The, the one who had just helped him, and now he was going to burn bridges with her.
Martin, oblivious to his hesitation, continued:. "Her name is Eva Green. Find her account and transfer one million to her as a token of gratitude."
Beyond that, he wanted no further entanglements with any other woman.
"Okay!"
." Alan nodded, did as instructed, blacklisted Eva Green'sEva's mobile number, and then sent a message to his subordinates to investigate her background.
After finishing, Martin added:, "Handle my discharge procedures."
Alan reflexively refused:. "No, Miss Green said before she left that you have a serious cold and must be hospitalized for observation overnight. If you don't have a fever by tomorrow, then you can be discharged."
Martin's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Have Dr. Damon stay at my house overnight. If anything happens, he can handle it.
It's just a cold, not an incurable disease; there's no need to stay in the hospital."
Alan continued to discourage:. "The hospital has better medical facilities, it's safer."
Martin retorted:. "I'm not a critical patient, I don't need it."
"But..." Alan wanted to keep persuading, but Martin cut him off impatiently:. "Enough, I said I'm being discharged, and I'm being discharged. I know my own condition."
Seeing Martin's insistence, Alan said no more, processed his discharge, and drove him back to Ellenstein Villa District.
In the evening.
, Eva Green lay in bed, dialing Martin's phone.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
She called three times, and each time the result was the same: the number was unavailable .
??
'What happened?
Could something have happened?
' Fearful that Martin's condition had worsened, she hurriedly looked through her call log and dialed Alan.
The call connected quickly, and Alan directly called out her name.
said, "Miss Green, what can I do for you?"
Eva Green asked anxiously:, "Where is Martin? Why can't I reach his phone? Has something happened to him? Or has his condition worsened?"
"Please rest assured, Miss LuoGreen, our sir is temporarily unharmed."
Eva Green persisted: "Then why can't I reach his phone? Are you hiding something from me?"
Alan was at his wits' end.
"Miss Green, I'm really not lying to you. Our sir has been discharged and is now resting at home. You don't need to worry about him anymore."
Eva Green'sEva's heart was in her throat:. "He has a serious cold, he might still have a high fever tonight, how could he be discharged!"."
Alan's temples throbbed:. "You don't need to worry, we have a family doctor now. If anything happens, the family doctor will take care of it."
Eva Green was still not reassured:. "Then let me talk to him."
Alan looked towards Martin.
Seeing the rejection in Martin's eyes, Alan sighed internally and lied:. "Miss Green, I'm sorry, our sir has already fallen asleep, it's not convenient for him to take calls."
"Oh..." Eva Green didn't suspect a thing,. "Then when he wakes up, have him call me back, tell him I'm very worried about him."
"Okay!"."
After ending the call, Alan looked to Martin with a plea for help.
"Boss, why don't you call her back? Otherwise, she'll keep bothering me, and that's not okay!"."
Martin said:, "You could also blaocklist her."
Alan: "...? . "Wouldn't that be a bit too unkind?"
Martin chuckled:. "Since when did you start caring about women's feelings? What, you like her?"
Startled by his words, Alan didn't hesitate and immediately blacklisted Eva Green'sEva's number.
Sickness comes on suddenly
. Martin, who hadn't been sick for years, was sick for a full three days this time.
Patricia had stayed in the hospital overnight, and after the child was stabilized, she was discharged .
The end of the year was approaching.
Everywhere was decked in festive lights.
Every household began preparing for the New Year.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of the upcoming holiday.
Except for Ellenstein Villa District, which was as cold and deserted as in previous years, without a hint of life.
On the December 28th day of the lunar calendar, while busy with the year-end summary, Martin suddenly received a call from the Langley family patriarch.
Ever sincehis grandpa, Gregory. Since the last wedding turned into a branch office press conference, the Langley old couple family patriarch and his wife left overnight without a word, as if they couldn't wait to leave the place.
Receiving the call from the patriarchGregory was unexpected for Martin.
Ever since his divorce from Patricia five years ago, the patriarch and his wifeHis grandparents had blamed him for five years divorcing Patricia back then and hadn't spoken a word to him.
since. This was the first time in five years that Gregory he had taken the initiative to call him.
The Patriarch asked: "What are you doing right now?" Gregory asked.
Martin replied without looking up:, "I'm at the company."
The implication was thatMeaning, he was busy.
The patriarchGregory didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:. "Rosemary Western Restaurant, the first private room on the left-hand side of the second floor.
I'll give you thirty minutes."
Martin paused and asked in surprise:, "You're back in Ivara City?"
"What's with all the questions? If you don't come, I'll disown you as my grandson for the rest of my life, as ifand pretend I never had a grandson like you." The patriarch," Gregory barked angrily, hanging up before Martin could refuse.
"…??"
Martin glanced at the time on his phone.
Half past eleven; h.
Half an hour later, it would be twelve o'clock.
'Lunchtime.
It's lunchtime. Could grandpa want to have lunch with me him?
The twoWe havedn't eaten together in a long time.'
With this thought, Martin put down his work, picked up his coat from the rack, dressed neatly in front of the full-length mirror, and then left.
Rosemary and the Langley Group were only two streets apart.
The roads weren't very busy at this time, and it took Martin less than half an hour to reach his destination.
He found the first private room on the left-hand side of the second floor, as the patriarchgrandpa had said.
After making sure he was at the right place, he reached out and pulled open the door.
Upon seeing the person inside, he froze,. hHis lips pursed tightly, his fingers and temples trembling, flames burning in the depths of his eyes. . "You again?"
"Why is it you again?"
It was Eva Green.
Why didWas this woman always seem to haunt mestalking him?
Eva Green sat leisurely inside, hands folded on the table, propping up her cheek, giving him a sweet smile, proudly saying:, "Did you think that by blocking me, I'd have no way to deal with you? Let me tell you, Eva Green never loses a man she sets her sights on."
Martin, enraged, forcefully closed the door and took out his phone to call the patriarchhis grandpa.
The call connected quickly, and the excited voice of the patriarchGregory came through.
"How is it? Satisfied?"So, what do you think? Like her? Although Eva isn't as beautiful as Patricia, she has a good personality, lively and cheerful. She complementsShe'll get along with you well."
Martin was speechless.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble, but I don't need you to worry about my lifelong affairs."
After saying that, he," Martin said, then hung up angrily and turned to leave.
Eva Green, who had finally found him, wasn't about to let him go so easily. She immediately followed him, hugging him from behind. "We haven't even eaten yet; I won't let you go."
"We haven't even eaten yet; I won't let you go."
"Let go..."." Martin gripped her wrists, ready to break free, but then he saw Hunter and Patricia approaching and his movements abruptly stopped.
