It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 211

Ever since the photos of Kathy and Malcolm in the botanical garden were exposed, Lucia and Malcolm have been avoiding each other intentionally or not. All matters related to Queenword were even handed over to their subordinates. What Lucia and Malcolm had to do was only sign their names on the documents. It seemed their only remaining communication was the signatures on documents that were passed back and forth.

In the meeting room, a monthly summary meeting was being held. It was not the group’s activity or performance report. It was a summary of all matters relating to mining in South Africa. Thanks to the efforts made over the past five years and the continuous mining of the best rough diamond materials, the South African mine which belonged to the Evans group has long been famous. Moreover, with the cooperation with Queenword, the oldest luxury brand in Europe, Evans Group had monopolized the supply of diamond materials for most luxury jewelry brands.

Such a good result was enough to rejoice the shareholders and directors present. However, Malcolm’s somewhat somber face made the atmosphere a little serious. Everyone looked at each other. No one could understand why Malcolm looked like that. After all, he was obviously in a good mood since Lucia came back alive. Now the dark, cold Malcolm was back. Finally, all eyes fell on Enoch, who was at Malcolm’s side.

Enoch looked a little stunned. How could he know something that no one else knew? He shrugged helplessly, indicating that he knew nothing. God knew what happened between Lucia and Malcolm! But it seemed that Malcolm became strange after knowing that the half-b***d girl was Lucia’s daughter.

“If you don’t have any questions, the meeting is over,” Daniel announced coldly.

“Sir. Evans, the latest news from the mine indicated that a rough diamond mined this time was the best in the last five years. It was estimated that there were no other rough diamonds in South Africa that could be as excellent as this. Can we make this the latest and greatest product from Queenword’s first flagship store in China?” Calvin stopped Malcolm, who was about to leave.

All eyes returned to the screen. Calvin explained the newly mined rough diamond in detail. His team members quickly sent the photos they had taken to the meeting room, and those present looked at the photos carefully. Although not a finished product, the size of this rough diamond was indeed shocking. Only the master cutters of Queenword could make such a good rough diamond have the most dazzling light.

Finally, all eyes fell on Malcolm, waiting for him to make the final decision. However, it seemed Malcolm was stunned by the photos and didn’t speak for a long time. Everyone looked at each other, confused.

“No. Keep it.” Finally, Malcolm uttered a response that everyone could not imagine.

“But…” One of the shareholders wanted to say something, but swallowed it under Malcolm’s gaze.

“What’s wrong? Are you objecting? Hmm?” Malcolm looked at the shareholder who was about to speak and asked coldly.

The meeting room fell into silence. The shareholders, at most, were only nominal shareholders. All their actions could not shake the Evans family at all. A decision Malcolm made was not something that could be changed by their words and actions. Finally, everyone left the meeting room quickly after receiving Enoch’s hint.

It didn’t take long for Enoch to realize what was on Malcolm’s mind. He guessed that his brother wanted to leave the dazzling diamond to Lucia alone. Looking into Malcolm’s eyes, he nodded knowingly. What Malcolm meant was that he wanted to take this diamond in the rough in person and find the best cutter to polish it. In this way, it meant that Enoch had to take care of the whole group and even everything related to Lucia for him. The tacit understanding between the brothers was clear at the moment, without the need to speak too much.

In the afternoon of the same day, Malcolm took a flight to South Africa. He must see the diamond in the rough with his own eyes. As for the entanglement between him and Lucia, after receiving such an affirmative response from Lucia, he was also trying to make himself accept the information. He knew they both needed time to calm down.

Lucia had nightmares that she couldn’t get out of. And he also had nightmares that he couldn’t get rid of.

After landing in South Africa, he got into the car Calvin had arranged to pick him up. Without wasting time, Malcolm went straight to the mine. When he saw the diamond in the rough, he was sure of his idea. Even though it was just a rough diamond, he could easily tell that after being polished, it would definitely be the most perfect diamond in terms of quality and purity.

“Have you made contact with him?” Malcolm placed the diamond in the rough on a black flannel and asked Calvin directly.

“Yes. He’s waiting for you in the company,” Calvin said respectfully. “

The person they were talking about was called Cris. He was the best diamond merchant in the world. And he wasn’t employed by any jewelry company. He was just “a free worker. But he had been retired for a long time. It was difficult to invite him to work again. Many luxury jewelry brands tried their best but failed. But Malcolm could easily do what the others couldn’t do. Because Cris was Malcolm’s mother’s biological brother. In other words, he was Malcolm’s uncle. “Pack him up and go back to the

company,” Malcolm ordered indifferently.

“Yes.” Calvin asked the professional to pack the rough diamond and returned to the Evans Group branch in South Africa with Malcolm.

Cris was already waiting in the office. When he saw Malcolm, he stood up. To his surprise, Malcolm gave him a big hug and sat down across from him. Cris looked at the rough diamond Malcolm pulled out. After careful observation, there was praise in his eyes. Every diamond cutter’s greatest wish was to polish the most dazzling diamond of their life. However, such an opportunity was rare.

“Do you have any design drawings?” Cris asked.

Malcolm nodded slightly, then he found a drawing in the email box and showed it to Cris. The signature on the drawing surprised Cris. He was curious about the use of this diamond. According to Malcolm, this would not be a commercial use, but a private gift.

“It will be for my wife,” Malcolm explained indifferently.

Cris nodded knowingly and said nothing more. He carefully studied the design drawing and the rough diamond in his hand. After a long time, he got up and left the office without looking back after giving Malcolm a deadline. On the other hand, Malcolm did not leave South Africa. He was waiting for the finished product.

As soon as he knew Lucia was still alive, he had the best diamond designer design this design. And he was waiting for a diamond in the rough. Now everything was ready. He just had to wait for the finished product. It was his love for Lucia. Even though it was late, he still hoped that there would be a chance to make up for it all.

In Strinas, the employees of the Dresse Group were extremely busy. Everyone was preparing for the opening of Queenword’s flagship store. As expected, Lucia entrusted the promotion plan entirely to Domain Media. And the Evans Group had been their strongest support, avoiding all possible problems, to ensure a perfect opening.

Everything was going in order. There was no need for Lucia to interfere too much unless a major emergency occurred. She had absolute trust in her former partners. Lucia asked Johnny to prepare a car and send it to Queenword’s store which was being decorated.

The car stopped in front of the store. As expected, reporters were still surrounding the door, trying to find out what was going on, but they were politely stopped at the door by security guards. It seemed Malcolm’s previous efforts had worked. Since he made the phone call, all the news about Kathy in the paper had disappeared overnight. Such a long report had never been seen in any newspaper afterward. Kathy’s world had never been disrupted.

However, after the phone call, Malcolm disappeared without a trace. Lucia’s eyes darkened. At least she had thought that after confessing her love to him that day, he would frequently appear around her. However, the fact still went against his imagination. Not only did he not appear once, he didn’t even call her back. All matters were left to his subordinates. Even if he had to make a decision in person, it would be Enoch who would do it.

Had he given up on her? Lucie sneered. After calming down, she entered the store which was being decorated. To her surprise, she saw Enoch and showed her confusion on her face.

“Sister… M/s. Lucie.” As Lucia watched, Enoch finally changed the way he called her. It was obvious that her brother had not yet won Lucia’s heart back.

“Why are you here?” Lucia asked, confused.

“I came to see if there was anything we could help with.” He talked about his goal.

But he didn’t specify it. He didn’t want to see if he could help anything, but to prevent something unexpected from happening here. If anything bad happened to Lucia while Malcolm was away, Enoch would be doomed.

Lucia no longer spoke to Enoch. Instead, she walked away and spoke with the designer. Then she spoke with Hayes and others to confirm all the details before opening. On the other hand, Enoch looked at Lucy quietly. She looked indifferent, but the moment she saw him, the slight surprise turned into disappointment on her face. He thought Lucia still cared about Malcolm.

“Sister-in-law, Malcolm really cares about you. I have never seen him care and love someone so much. I really hope that one day you both can let go of the grudges in your hearts and start again,” Enoch tells Lucia before leaving. Then he left the site without looking back. Lucia was taken aback by what he said. She had done her best to suppress her feelings, but now she was starting to feel a little agitated again.

Love was truly a sharp weapon to hurt people.
