Chapter 850 Next Goal (Part One)

At the Chu Family's villa.

The moment Lawrence reached home, he saw Mike sitting leisurely on the sofa while playing on his

phone.

When Lily saw Lawrence, she walked to him and greeted him politely, "Mr. Lawrence, you're home."

"Yes. Have you packed everything I need?" Lawrence asked. "Yes, Mr. Lawrence. I've already packed

your suitcase," Lily replied.

"Okay, that's good. You can go back to your work now," Lawrence said.

Then he walked to the living room where Mike was sitting.

Mike was playing a mobile game. When he saw Lawrence sat in front of him, he asked, "Dude, tell me

honestly, where were you yesterday? I've asked Lily and she told me you didn't come home last night."

"It's nothing important," Lawrence replied. He then took the document on the coffee table and checked.

He found that the information was all complete.

Mike peered at Lawrence and said, "I suspect that you're gonna do something that's not decent."

However, Lawrence ignored his words. Instead, he said to him, "I'll be gone for a couple of days.

What's your plan?"

Mike put his phone aside and thought for a moment. Then he told Lawrence in a serious tone, "Since

you won't be here, I want to have a rest. Maybe I'll travel abroad."

"When will you leave?" Lawrence asked. "A week later," Mike answered.

He felt that Lawrence wanted to tell him something so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Lawrence looked at Mike and said, "I need your help to take care of someone."

"Someone? Who?" Mike asked. He was astonished because as far as he knew, all of Lawrence's loved

ones were in Hong Kong. He didn't have any idea who would he be looking after.

"Aria Liu," Lawrence answered at once.

'Aria Liu?' Mike thought. It was a girl's name. He was confused. "Who is she?" Mike confusedly asked.

Lawrence didn't intend to hide anything from Mike so he simply replied, "My woman." Anyway, if he

didn't tell him now, he would still eventually tell him in the future. So he decided to tell him as early as

now.

"Oh," Mike said almost in a whisper. He seemed to have already understood what Lawrence meant.

"Since you are leaving, you worry about her, right?"

Lawrence nodded his head and said, "Yes." He took a deep breath first before he continued, "I don't

know why but recently, I always feel that something will happen. It's so strange."

"What do you think will happen?" Mike asked. "The whole city is under your control. The Chu Family

and the JC Group are both under your control. You can simply do whatever you want. What are you

worrying about?" he added. Mike strongly believed that Lawrence didn't need to worry about anything.

He was a powerful person in this city. Besides, Mike could use his father's power and connections to

help Lawrence. For him, it was his obligation.

"Mike," this time, Lawrence's tone was low and wasn't so cold and bossy as usual.

Mike could feel that Lawrence still have something on his mind so he didn't say anything. He waited for

him to speak up.

"You know my family well, right?" Lawrence asked. Lawrence thought to himself, 'Mike grew up with

me. I was only five years when I came to this city and since then, he became my best friend. We have

been friends for so many years so he knows everything about me.'

Mike nodded his head and replied, "Yes, of course."

"The military's residential compound is quite chaotic. Things that happened to my grandfather and my

father many years ago still affect our current lives. Some people related to those things still exist,"

Lawrence explained. He remembered the woman he met at the bar last night. He was certain that she

was one of them.

Mike thought for a while then asked, "Do you mean...?"

Even though Mike didn't finish his words, Lawrence already got it so he confirmed, "Yes. Sally."

Mike was really shocked so he asked in astonishment, "Is she back?" He gazed in awe at Lawrence.

"Well, I haven't seen her face too clearly, but I believe I'm right. However, since my parents are not

here, I wonder who she wants to contact."

"She can't hurt your family. Besides, all your family members are in Hong Kong so no matter what she

wants to do, she won't succeed," Mike expressed his opinion. He paused for a while then seemed to

remember something, "Unless, her aim is the JC Group."

"I will never give her a chance to enter the JC Group," Lawrence declared firmly. "While I was on my

way here, I've already called some people to monitor her. I've instructed them not to let her escape

from their sights. In that case, my company can continue to run smoothly and she will never get a

chance to interfere."

"Maybe I can just stay here and watch over the company for you," Mike suggested.

However, Lawrence declined, "No. You just go on with your plans. I've already arranged everything in

the company. I only hope that you look after Aria Liu."

"Don't worry, I will," Mike promised. He could never take for granted everything related to Lawrence.

At the international airport. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Lawrence was standing with his suitcase and was looking at Mike and Alice.

Alice felt sad because she missed Violet a lot so she requested to Lawrence, "Please say hi to Violet

for me. You must take good care of her."

"Okay, I will," Lawrence replied.

Mike said, "Since Greg has already arranged everything for the surgery, I believe everything will go

well."

"Yeah," Lawrence agreed. "I also called some of my friends there so I think there will really be no

problem." He was confident that Violet would recover this time.

"Lawrence, remember to give me an update on Violet's situation," Alice reminded him. She wanted to

know the updates on Violet's treatment.

"I will," Lawrence replied.

At this moment, the airport announced that all passengers must board the plane now so Mike said, "All

right, Lawrence, you should go now. It's time."

Lawrence turned his back to go to the security area. Mike and Alice felt miserable while watching his

receding figure.

"Mike, do you think Violet will be all right?" Alice asked after Lawrence was out of their sight. She was

still worried. After all, a cosmetic surgery was risky that it could possibly fail.

"She will be fine," Mike replied with confidence. "Don't you believe in Greg's expertise?"

Alice quickly nodded her head and replied, "Of course, I do." She truly trusted Greg's capabilities.

Mike asked again, "Do you believe in Lawrence?" "Yes, I do," Alice replied at once.

"Then, you don't need to worry. Violet will be fine," Mike reassured Alice.

"And you know what?" Mike seemed to remember something. "For many years of being with Lawrence,

I have already drawn a conclusion that he never fails in everything."

Alice suddenly felt confident so she said, "Well, I think you're right. I also feel that Lawrence is like a

God to all of us."

Mike agreed, "That's right." He patted Alice on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to lunch.

Call Tim."
