2041 Words
Heyns called his assistant Wantz after Lucille left.
"When did Lucille sign the divorce contract?"
"She signed it last night, one hour before you got home."
"Why didn't you tell me that then?"
Heyns was so dissatisfied with Heyns.
He couldn't believe that Wantz would have dealt with this case like this!
Wantz realized his big mistake and apologized to Heyns at once, "I'm really sorry. You stayed with Ms. Sylvi last night... It won't happen again, Mr. Walson, I promise."
Heyns kept silent for a moment before he asked Wantz, "Did Lucille make any adjustments to the contract? Anything special she wants from me?"
"No, Ms. Lucille said she won't take anything with her."
"And you just let her go like that?"
Heyns was surprised about the choice Lucille made. He gradually became mad at Lucille.
"How she dares to do this?"
For the past three years, Lucille has always been at home and never had a job. He didn't think she could make a living on her own. She would be homeless if she had no money.
"I will try to ask Ms. Lucille to think twice." Said Wantz.
"Forget it. You will do nothing to change the contract, will you?" Heyns took out a cigar and stopped Wantz, "As her wish."
He had a puff, and referred to another topic, "Did you get any information about Code X, the mysterious doctor?"
"I was about to report it to you."
Wantz took out a file, passed it to Heyns, and said, "It is said that X has just taken a fifty million dollar mission from the Website Secrets after its three-year silence. The case was issued by General Rudnicki.
Heyns stubbed out his cigar and stood up, "Where is General Rudnicki now?"
"We are still checking. Will let you know as soon as we get the information."
"I can only give you half an hour for this. Wantz, you know what I mean."
"Yes, sir."
Wantz got nervous. He lowered his head as his finger moved fast on his notebook. The request was spread out widely.
Heyns picked up his suit and told the butler who waited outside the room, "Get the helicopter ready, I need to head to where X stays. I must meet X this time."
X was so famous. This mysterious doctor wasn't just good at potion formulation but also listed as top among the surgeons in the whole world.
Heyns searched for X for years because Sylvi got a brain tumor. Sylvi was allergic to anesthetics. And X is the only one who could do the surgery without anesthetics.
Heyns felt sorry for Slyvi as she was exiled by his grandfather three years ago. He was the one who asked for a relationship with her. but Sylvi was the one who got the punishment. He thought Sylvi's sickness was his fault. And he would try his best for her cure.
He absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.
On Cruise Alice in the High Seas, Lucille, wearing a mask, finished the cure for General Rudnicki. She lit an aroma with lemon flavor.
The adjutant of General Rudnicki passed a full box of gold to Jackson immediately. This gold was worth fifty million dollars as mentioned in the mission.
"What a wonderful collaboration! God bless you, General." Jackson smiled and blew the whistle.
A big noise spread outside all of a sudden.
Jackson went to the door with a cautious. He held his breath and listened to the outside carefully.
He came back with a grim look on his face. Jackson told Lucille, "It's Heyns, he surrounded the cruise and requires to see you."
Lucille glanced at General Rudnicki's adjutant.
"I can swear to God, it's not us!" The adjutant got so nervous that he started to sweat.
It wasn't the first time they cooperated with X, and he understood very clearly that X wasn't just a doctor, she had an unexpected power and they would never ever want to be her enemy.
"Ma'am, you know us well, we will not sneak any of your information. We didn't do that in the past, and we will not do it in the future."
In fact, they themself knew little about X as well.
Lucille replied unperturbed, "Then prove it to me."
The adjutant led a small group of people outside.
A few moments later, he came back and asked Lucille to follow him. The adjutant brought Lucille and Jackson to a speedboat at the stern of the cruise.
He whispered to Lucille, "We destroyed any other speedboats on this cruise except this one, Ma'am. We also broke the instrument panel of Mr. Walson's helicopter. He can't cause any trouble to you now."
Lucille is barely satisfied with the result.
"Only this time." She warned and used a notebook to eliminate all the records of her.
"Cherish your chance, buddy!" Jackson patted the adjutant's shoulder, "Believe me, you don't want to make her mad, do you?"
The adjutant started to shake.
Jackson patted again on the adjutant's back and sailed the speedboat at the maximum of its speed.
"Hurray!"
Heyns, who was waiting for the updates, noticed the noise. He realized that it was X.
X was leaving!
Heyns ordered to chase at once.
However, Wantz came in and told him that they couldn't make it.
"All the speedboats are destroyed. Not a good one left! And the helicopter went in trouble as well."
"Really?" Heyns asked Wantz to bring the adjutant to his face.
"Now, tell me, do you have another speedboat for me?"
Heyns took out the g*n, pointing at the adjutant's head, "You just have one chance."
The adjutant kept silent at first. But when his subordinate officers were shot to die, he couldn't hold it.
"we..."
"Think twice before you answer me." Heyns pointed his g*n at the General.
"No, no sir. We still have one more."
The adjutant yielded himself to Heyns.
"Smart answer." Heyns smiled.
He only took Wantz with him.
The speed was so fast and it didn't take long for them to see X's speedboat.
"Holyshit!" Jackson turned back and got so angry, "It's Heyns again. That adjutant is an asshole! He lied to us! There is still one more speedboat!"
"That makes sense." Lucille wasn't surprised at all, "Of course, they will leave themselves a plan B. You will do the same thing when you are in his shoes, will you?"
Jackson understood but he was still mad at General Rudnicki.
"He will be on our blacklist! He is blocked!" Shouted Jackson.
He speeded up.
The distance between the two speedboats got longer.
Heyns would not lose this chance and accelerated as well.
The two speedboats kept racing. Neither of them would give up.
"We are running out of time!" Lucille climbed over to the driver's seat, "Given Heyns one more second, he will get buddies to help him."
Jackson turned back and saw Heyns picking up his phone. Although he couldn't hear any details, Jackson thought Lucille was right.
"Couples!"
Jackson sighed.
Lucille stared at him, "I'm sorry?"
"Oh pumpkin, you know I was joking."
Jackson shut his mouth up.
Lucille gave a sarcastic smile, "Watch me."
Lucille put her hood back on, turned their speedboat around, and headed towards the speedboat Heyns was in.
It seemed like that the two speedboats would be in a crash at any moment.
Heyns looked unpleased. He had to stop the chase.
Wantz already screamed out in his heart, "Mama Mia, X is insane!"
Lucille gave the finger. She shook her sleeve and left.
Jackson's laugh was so loud.
Soon, Heyns lost X's track.
"f**k!"
Heyns beat the compass. It was weird that when staring at X's mask, he couldn't help to think about his ex-wife Lucille.
Wantz dared not to say a word.
It happened so fast and even though they were in front of each other, they didn't see X's looking.
"What a pity!"
A few moments later, another helicopter arrived as Lucille's foreseen to pick up Heyns and Wantz.
"Keep an eye on X. I have a feeling that I will see X again soon."
"Well noted, Mr. Walson. I will let you once X shows up." Wantz nodded his head.
Heyns didn't reply. He was about to have a cigar for relief when his cell phone rang.
It was Sylvi.
"Heyns, How is your day?" Sylvi's voice was so sweet.
"Not bad. What about you?" Heyns chatted with Sylvi for some time.
When he hung up, he dialed another number unexpectedly.
No one picked up.
Heyns couldn't believe it and called again. Finally, he found out that he was on the blacklist of Lucille.
"Ha, good for her!"
Heyns threw away his cell phone. He felt so different for Lucille now.
Heyns asked Wantz, "You said she refused to sign the contract before?"
Wantz also realized the truth and he couldn't believe his memory at that moment, "Even when Ms. Lucille signed the contract, she insisted you are the most precious thing for her in the world."
"Liar!"
Heyns murmured. Actually, he and Lucille hadn't even met several times before they were married.
He always thought Lucille married him for his money. But Lucille seemed to enjoy sleeping with him last night. Heyns couldn't tell his feelings now.
"Wantz, I need to know where Lucille stays for these days."
A few moments later, Wantz came back with an awkward face, "Mr. Walson, we can't find the absence of Ms. Lucille anywhere. She was like not existed before."
Heyns was surprised, "Are you sure? She was just a normal woman. Did you check her parents' information?"
Wantz apologized, "I'm so sorry sir, we can't find her parents as well. I also called the butler in the villa, but he had no idea about Ms. Lucille's parents."
"How can this happen?" Heyns knitted his brow.
He tried to recall but then found out that he knew little about Lucille.
He didn't know her parents. Never met her friends...
But it was not his fault. He had no interest in Lucille before.
Heyns' mood became so bad.
On the other side.
Lucille got rid of Heyns, and back to another villa in the city with Jackson.
"It's a hard work. I don't want to experience it again." Jackson was so mad at Heyns, "What the hell he is thinking about?"
Lucille didn't want to discuss this.
Jackson complained a little bit, then he changed his topic.
"Look at these little adorable things. I have so much love for it!"
Said Jackson, set the gold into two parts. He put one half under the ground of the house and deposited the other half into Lucille's bank account after the exchange.
"You really should show the girls you are dating with about your looking now. You are so fond of money." Lucille shook her head.
"Well, you should let me know who in the world doesn't love money? I'm willing to take it from him." Jackson didn't care about this, "Pumpkin, I'm sure you will have a stronger favor of money than me if you have the same amount dates as me."
He answered, continuing to filter the missions that were good to take on the Website Home Secret.
Lucille shrugged.
She picked up the phone and ordered a steak.
Just then she heard Jackson's strange voice, "Huh, sweetheart, come here and check it out, there's a mission with a good pay."
Lucille didn't pay any attention as her steak was delivered.
Jackson rushed to her and showed the mission, "See, it's just surgery, but the pay is two hundred million dollars. Are you really not interested in this?"
Lucille looked up, "You know I don't have any dates."
Jackson didn't give up.
"Honey, sweetheart, please!"
Lucille and Jackson grew up together. They experienced and went through so many difficulties as a bundle. Just as Jackson could hardly refuse Lucille's requests, Lucille was in the same situation.
"Okay, you can start to do the background screening."
Lucille thought for a moment, "As always, watch out the back. You know, our current peaceful life was not easy, we can't get in trouble just because of two hundred million dollars."
"Sure, sure!"
Jackson cheered and agreed.
