It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 212

Queenword was supposed to open in two weeks. He abandoned the traditional opening ceremony. And he would hold a jewelry press release in the hotel, announcing that Queenword is officially entering the Chinese market. As always, the brand has retained its element of mystery and luxury. The guests who could be invited to the show were the upper class socialites. As for the media, they only invited senior executives from mainstream media.

Time started to pass. All the guests present were seated in front of the stage. Enoch held the Evans Group position. Lucia didn’t see Malcolm. She was a little upset. She has a bee in her bonnet. Lucia calmed down and went backstage.

The atmosphere behind the scenes seemed a little tense. The stylist was busy checking all the models’ makeup, and the security guards were dutifully guarding those precious diamond jewelry. The most expensive jewelry was going to be presented at the end. They had to be on high alert because no one could afford to lose hundreds of millions of dollars worth of diamond jewelry. And these jewels just arrived in Strinas this morning. They were all transported to the place of sealing. After confirming that everything was fine, Lucia locked them in the safe.

Every model had a bodyguard today. These security guards were special forces to prevent anything from happening.

“Girls, are you ready?” The show will start soon. Tonight’s jewelry show is of great importance to you. How much effort did you put into becoming a Queenword model? If you had done it perfectly, you would have become the best models in the world. “

The agent encouraged these girls to ease the tense atmosphere at the scene. The models clapped to encourage each other. Dresse employees brought different jewelry to different models. When the music sounded outside, the Models regained their composure and walked slowly onto the stage with the rhythm.

Lucia, standing at a point where she could see everything on the stage. When the models appeared, everyone was shocked. Soon, they began to whispering and clapping from time to time. At this time, Queenword, the most luxurious jewelry brand in the jewelry circle revealed its new products. They were all the highest quality diamonds with the best craftsmanship, designed by the most outstanding designer… The cooperation between Queenword and Dresse not only gave people visual enjoyment, but also brought them spiritual shocks.

Lucia knew the press conference could end smoothly as long as everything went well. In a unique way, Queenword would make its debut in China perfectly. An excellent business strategy would enable his business to continue to grow. All they had to do was wait for the good results.

Suddenly, a Dresse employee nervously ran up to Lucia and whispered in her ear. Lucia’s face changed instantly and quickly returned to the backstage. Enoch continued to pay attention to Lucia and noticed that her expression had changed. What happened? Enoch felt confused. He lowered his head and ordered his subordinate to check what happened, then continued to watch the show calmly.

Malcolm was supposed to attend the show today. However, Enoch was unable to make contact with Malcolm. He had no choice but to attend the spectacle on Malcolm’s behalf. When the reporters saw it, they were all confused, but no one dared to ask him why. As for Lucia, she didn’t appear on stage either. Instead, she had been monitoring what was happening behind the scenes.

“What happened?” Lucia asked the staff present seriously.

All the backstage staff remained silent. They lowered their heads and did not dare look up at Lucia. Bad things happened. Everyone had to take responsibility for it. Under Lucia’s sharp gaze, someone finally opened their mouth with concern.

“Mrs. Garcia, the last piece of diamond jewelry has mysteriously disappeared.” The person in charge of security said uncomfortably.

Two thirds of the show was already over. It would end in half an hour. At this moment, the last piece disappeared in front of everyone even without triggering any alarm devices. There was no doubt that this was an inside job. Once the news was leaked, it would be a fatal blow to Dresse and Queenword, as well as all the cooperative societies that participated in today’s opening performance.

The insurance company manager was scared to death and his face turned pale. The hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation would kill him. Not to mention losing his job, he would have to take responsibility for subsequent problems. Eddie was going to be in the grand finale. At this moment, she was so frightened that she was paralyzed on the ground with a pale face.

“Block all exits and no one was allowed to leave. Do not disturb any guests or alert the media. Search all staff present! If anyone is not cooperating, force them to cooperate.

” Lucie ordered calmly. “Mrs. Garcia, what about the show?” A staff member reminded Lucia of the cruelest fact.

The spectacle was of great importance today. Everyone was eager to see the latest diamond jewelry. No one had seen it before, but the models had already presented so many exceptional jewels that it would be impossible to find a better diamond jewel in Strinas in half an hour. Today’s jewelry show would be doomed to failure.

Lucia paced back and forth irritably. Suddenly, the backstage door opened, and everyone’s eyes instantly focused on the person standing at the door. Looking at Malcolm in front of her, Lucia gradually calmed down. But she froze in place and did not approach him.

As soon as Malcolm walked through the door, he saw Lucia with undisguised anxiety on her face. He had known what had happened before he entered the room. He walked towards Lucia, step by step. Ignoring the others, he held Lucia’s waist with one hand with extra strength, indicating that he could handle it. At this moment, Lucia seemed to be calm, but she was already in panic in her heart. Naturally, she would not stubbornly refuse Malcolm’s help. She didn’t resist and just let him hold her.

“The show will go on. Do as Ms. Garcia said, block all exits right away and no one was allowed to leave. As for the lost diamond jewelry, I have a new one to replace it.” Malcolm calmly ordered the staff to carry out his orders.

Kaleb handed Lucia a black flannel box. When Lucia opened the box, the dazzling light reflected from the diamond necklace attracted everyone’s attention. Compared to the lost one, it seemed to be more magnificent. Just look at its perfect cutting skill and unique design, and it has fully shown its refinement and uniqueness.

“You…” Lucie didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.” Malcolm said in a low voice, giving her a comforting look.

As the others watched, he leaned down and gave Lucia a light k**s. God knew how much he missed her during that month. Everyone was surprised. But they were smart enough not to say a word. Everyone continued their work in an orderly manner and the show continued. It seemed that no one was affected by the loss of the jewelry.

Eddie would be in the grand finale. Her hands shook slightly as she put on the new diamond necklace as if she was still in panic of losing the jewelry. After taking a deep breath, she calmly walked out from backstage to the sound of music. To the exclamation of the crowd, she finished the show. Reporters took lots of photos and the socialites present looked very excited, whispering to each other about the jewelry they liked.

“Lucia, it’s time for a booster.” Seeing that Lucia had already calmed down, Malcolm reminded her.

“On!” Lucia nodded, took a deep breath and prepared to go on stage.

However, as she was about to move forward, she was held by Malcolm’s hand. She stopped and turned around, looking at him in confusion. After a while, Malcolm finally let go of her. Lucia suppressed the agitation in her heart and calmly took the stage.

“Lucie, I miss you.” Malcolm’s voice came from behind Lucia.

Lucia stopped for a moment, clenched her fists, then unclenched them. She walked towards the stage without hurrying. She took a call back and agreed to the interview. Sharp-eyed reporters saw Malcolm exiting backstage. They exchanged looks. A look of understanding appeared on their faces.

Of course, Enoch also saw Malcolm, which explained his doubt just now. The main diamond in the final piece of jewelry was the most dazzling one from the Evans family’s South African mine. “But why did he appear here? Done… Enoch stopped guessing and calmly continued watching the show.

“Thank you for your presence today. Queenword will officially settle in Strinas today. Except for the last jewelry, all the jewelry presented at the show today will be sold publicly in our store. Welcome to visit our store! There will be a party tonight. You are invited to join the party.” Lucia said in an official manner.

As soon as Lucia finished her words, thunderous applause broke out. There was a proud, gentle smile on Malcolm’s face that he had never had before. However, the harmonious atmosphere quickly became awkward when reporters asked the following questions.

“Ms. Garcia, the final product was supposed to be on sale. Why isn’t it on the sales list now? Why did you change your plan suddenly?”

“Many people present saw the CEO of the Evans Group holding your hand behind the scenes. Are you going to get back together?”

Before Lucia could answer the first question, reporters bombarded her with several questions. Some questions were aimed at the press release, while others were aimed at Lucia and Malcolm’s relationship. The guests present began to speak upon hearing the journalists’ questions. Lucia looked a little angry and embarrassed. Suddenly, there was dead silence on the scene. While Lucia was still wondering, Malcolm walked quietly beside her.

He glanced at Lucia gently, holding Lucia’s hand with one hand and taking the microphone handed out by the staff next to him with the other. When he looked at the audience, he had a cold and stern look on his face. He looked around and said coldly.

“I bought the last piece of jewelry for my wife, so it can’t be sold tonight.” After a short pause, Malcolm glanced at Kaleb who appeared backstage, and then continued: “However, Queenword will sell another gem of the same value as compensation.” He answered the first journalist’s question.

Lucia looked at him in surprise. Ignoring his words, she only thought that the last jewel had been stolen. Where could he find the jewel of the same value as the one on sale tonight? But Malcolm squeezed Lucia’s hand lightly, telling her to relax and let him take care of everything. Lucia nodded slightly and continued to stand aside quietly.

“Of course, I will take care of my wife. We have never divorced. How can we be separated?” Malcolm said.

After saying this, he looked at everyone present, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Lucia finally realized what Malcolm had said. She wanted to refute, but all her unsaid words were blocked by his k**s. He swore to everyone that Lucia was his wife and that no one could covet her. The reporters were stunned for a moment, then they pressed the shutters quickly and madly took the photos of them, recording the scene at this moment. It would make tomorrow’s headlines in the city.

“As for our private life, I hope you don’t pay too much attention to it. This is not the topic today. This will make me doubt the professionalism of the journalists present.” There was a slight warning in Malcolm’s words.

The journalist cleverly changed the subject. The meaning of Malcolm’s words was very clear. If they paid too much attention to his private affairs today, they would be listed as unprofessional media by the Evans Group. It was impossible to obtain first-hand news about the Evans Group in the future. Journalists knew what was best for them. The atmosphere became lively again, and no one dared to mention any private matters other than Queenword.

After answering all the questions, Lucia made an official conclusion. She invited all the guests to the flag store opening and wine party this evening. After all the guests left for the party, Lucia felt a little relieved. She went backstage and prepared to deal with the chaos just now. She freed herself from Malcolm’s hand and looked at him. There were contradictions and helplessness in his eyes, but they quickly disappeared.

“You knew the last jewel was missing. Where can I find a substitute of the same value for sale today?” Lucia questioned Malcolm.

Malcolm looked at his hand indifferently, he did not continue to force Lucia. Shortly after, Kaleb went backstage with the lost jewelry, followed by security personnel and police responsible for tonight’s finale. Lucia showed an expression of understanding.

“Ms. Carla, one of the security guards did this. When he was about to leave the room, I stopped him in time. I found the lost jewelry on him. How do you want to deal with him? It’s your call.” Kaleb told the whole story respectfully, waiting for Lucia’s order.

“Let the police handle it. Change another security company and escort the jewelry to the store.

Soon, all the behind-the-scenes personnel left quickly and minded their own business. Finally, only Malcolm and Lucia were left here. A hint of ambiguous atmosphere rose in the air. Lucia also felt a trace of threat, so she stepped back instinctively, but only found that her body was against the dresser and could no longer move. As Malcolm approached Lucia step by step, he hugged her and looked at Lucia.

“I will never let you go,” he told Lucia firmly, word for word.

Lucia turned her head and didn’t answer any of his questions. To his great surprise, Malcolm did not demand an answer from Lucia in a peremptory manner. Instead, he let go of Lucia, took her hand and left with her. Lucia was a little surprised, but she followed him obediently. After all, she was the person responsible for the next thing.

“Let me take you there.” Standing in front of the car, Malcolm said softly to Lucia.

“No…” Lucia wanted to refuse, but she compromised when Malcolm resisted. She couldn’t help but sigh helplessly. He opened the passenger seat door and let Lucia get into the car. At the same time, Malcolm slipped into the driver’s seat and drove in a direction Lucia didn’t know. Malcolm focused on driving. Lucia looked at him with doubts in her eyes.

“Are you going to the party in this formal suit? There are sales staff in the store. You don’t need to be there.” Malcolm explained.

Lucie said nothing more. After experiencing a series of nervous and exciting events just now, fatigue appeared on his face. She leaned back in the chair and began to doze. When she woke up, the car was already parked in front of the hair salon door. She looked up at this familiar place and got out of the car after thinking for a while. At this moment, Malcolm was already waiting outside. He naturally took Lucia’s hand and calmly led her into the living room. The salon staff greeted them with respect.

“Mr. and Mrs. Evans, this way, please. The stylist is waiting for you.” The guide bowed 90 degrees before dutifully leading the way.

The same familiar scene reminded Lucia of her past. She had the illusion that nothing had happened in the last five years. It seemed like she was living a simple life with Malcolm with accidental passion. Lucia was in a daze for a while because of the illusion. She didn’t come to her senses until the stylist told her in a respectful tone.

No one doubted his choice this time. However, his identity had become so subtle and embarrassing this time. How could five years of memories be erased so easily? Lucia continued to struggle with these complicated emotions.

The memories were like nightmares, reminding him of what had happened.
