Ethan could not be bothered about Kastov. When he saw Marcos walking into his suite, he
raised his arm and blocked Marcos from entering his room.
"Please keep in mind that Luke Crawford and that woman are involved in Mr. Matysh's
imprisonment in A City. It’s not a good idea to be so close to him.
What will your family think of you if they find out about this? Let me remind you that the
priority now is to focus on Mr. Matysh," Ethan reminded Marcos. He believed that Luke and
Luca had something to do with Matysh’s imprisonment.
Marcos still wore a smile on his face, but his impatience was beginning to show on his
face.
Marcos knew that going along with Ethan would not allow him to enter the suite easily. He
stood there and reminded Ethan, "My uncle was imprisoned because he was accused of
sexual assault. The victim was only 18 years old at that time. As a lawyer, you should be
able to understand why he was arrested by the police even though you’re not a lawyer of
A City."
Ethan flew into a rage when Marcos said that. Was it not obvious that he was trying to
help Luke?
Marcos added, "Whether you admit it or not, if my uncle had not committed a crime in A
City, the police wouldn’t have been able to arrest an innocent person no matter how
influential M Group’s partners are here. Do you know that someone who has committed
sexual assault will be sentenced heavily in A City?"
Further investigation by the police revealed that there were some really shady hidden
motives behind the case.
Ethan clenched his fists tight and replied, "I’m just reminding you not to get too close to
Luke."
"Mr. Marcos is right. Why are you so bothered? Every meeting attended by Marcos and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtevery meal he had are all for M Group’s sake. So, why don’t you think about how to help
the one who’s in prison rather than paying attention to everything Mr. Marcos does?"
Kastov, who had already walked into the suite, chimed in.
"Who do you think you are? What’s it to you?" Ethan’s face turned red with anger.
A tall Russian man like him was defeated by their words so easily. It made him feel
embarrassed.
He had always felt superior to Marcos. His bloodline was much better than Marcos', after
all.
Although he was from an extended family, his parents followed the family's arrangements.
That was why his bloodline was still pure.
He was not like Marcos, who had the genes of a common woman!
However, his sense of superiority was eventually crushed by Marcos’ and Kastov's sharp
words.
Ethan looked at Marcos with hatred in his eyes and secretly vowed that he would snitch on
Marcos to make things difficult for him in the future after Matysh was released!
Marcos noticed the resentment in Ethan's eyes and raised an eyebrow without saying
anything.
He was not afraid of Ethan's retaliation. He had never taken an extended family member
like him seriously.
"I'm Mr. Marcos' bodyguard. You lawyers have a lot on your plate, and I only just found out
that lawyers have such responsibilities. They're even doing the job of an enforcer. Truly
remarkable," said Kastov with a sinister smile on his face. He nodded at Marcos and
slammed the door shut.
He cut off any chance for Ethan to speak out of turn.
Ethan seethed in anger, “Just you wait!”
He said that while facing Kastov's suite. Then, he shifted his gaze to Marcos.
"If it weren't for Crawford, Mr. Matysh wouldn't have been locked up. You're so close to him
now. I'll certainly tell your grandfather about this when I get back!" Ethan warned Marcos.
Ethan believed that Marcos had respect and reverence for his grandfather.
Moreover, if it were not for Luke who kept protecting that woman, Matysh would not have
stayed in A City for so long, which gave the police enough time to gather evidence of his
past crimes.
The police officers in A City would not have been able to do anything to Matysh if this had
happened in Russia and Matysh was there!
He could have just avoided coming to A City next time.
His family's business and dealings with A City were infrequent. Hence, it would not have
any impact on Matysh!
Marcos shrugged off Ethan's warning and replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I'm
doing this for the company, for my family's business."
Ethan noticed that Marcos was not as worried and afraid as he expected. He sneered in
frustration and returned to his own room.
Bang! He slammed the door shut behind him.
Meanwhile, Kastov opened the door and looked at Marcos with a smirk on his face. Then,
he asked, "Are you sure you're fine? Aren't you afraid that he's going to tell your
grandfather about this?"
Even though he was not a member of the Abaza family, Kastov knew some of the
intricacies of their relationships.
"I'm here representing M Group. Integrity shines through any shadow of doubt. I have
nothing to fear if I'm in the right," Marcos' eyes darkened. He knew full well of Ethan's
tendency to report things to his grandfather.
Did he think Matysh would back him up as soon as he showed up?
How naive!
Matysh could never get out of there.
When they were having tea just now, Luke and the others did not mention the Island of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespair again after Percy left.
Instead, Luke talked about the police investigation.
The police had linked the case of an innocent girl being raped a few years ago with the
Norman family's home invasion case because there was evidence showing that Matysh
was behind both incidents.
The funds were all transferred from Matysh's bank account.
Based on the transfer and subsequent flow of funds, the police identified several other
suspects other than Matysh.
If the sexual assault accusation was not enough to put Matysh in prison in A City, the
subsequent cases would suffice.
Once Matysh was confirmed to be the mastermind, he would be sentenced to a long
period of imprisonment in A City.
Luke said that A City's crackdown on crime was currently in full swing.
Matysh's case was already within the scope of the crackdown.
Moreover, since the injured party was the Norman family and Jack was involved in this, it
would be useless no matter how professional the lawyer Matysh hired was.
Once the charge was confirmed, no lawyer in A City would dare to take his case. In the
end, only the legal representative sent by the judicial institution would defend him.
After all, it was a done deal. No one would want to offend Jack for the sake of money.
Marcos was in a good mood knowing that Matysh would be going to prison for a long time!
"A citizens like you sure know how to use idioms and proverbs well. I'm glad you're not
worried about it. By the way, take this." Kastov pulled something out of his pocket and
threw it to him.
Marcos caught it and asked, "What's this?"
"It's to detect if there are any..." Kastov made a gesture and stopped talking.
However, Marcos understood what he meant. It was a bug detector.
