Three days later, Luke brought Elena to Margaret's luxurious apartment.
As soon as they came out of the elevator, Margaret, who had been notified by the door manager, was already standing outside, greeting them with a smile on her face.
Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Who would block the guests at the elevator entrance
But Margaret obviously didn't care.
Elena, who is also an art student, didn't care. She smiled and hugged Margaret, and showed her the two bottles of red wine she brought.
Margaret doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't care about alcohol, and doesn't care about the price of alcohol.
She just confirmed the existence of the red wine, and then looked at the food box that Luke was carrying: "Is it yogurt cake?"
Luke nodded: "How about chocolate and strawberry flavors?"
Margaret nodded quickly, as if she was afraid that if she said she didn’t like it, Luke would never bring cake again.
After entering the house, Luke smiled and greeted Elsa who had come earlier. Then he joked, "You have quite a few girlfriends, and she's a wealthy woman. Can you handle the party?"
Elsa didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked directly: "Where's Selena?"
Luke: “I have some work to do.”
Elsa glanced at him: "How about I call her and ask her what she is doing now?"
Luke shrugged, "Sure."
Elsa was surprised, and actually took out her phone and dialed Selina's number: "Hello, when is your party? Oh, no, I'm not in a hurry. ... What are you busy with, work? Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at someone pouring her coffee and sipping it leisurely, and couldn't help but raise her hand and give a thumbs up: "You are really capable."
Luke chuckled: "You were the one who transferred this commission. Do you think Selina doesn't know?"
Elsa also had a laughing expression and looked at Elena who was studying the cake shapes in the food box with Margaret: "This person came with you, does she know about it too?"
Luke nodded calmly: "Of course."
Elsa raised her hand, clenched her fist, and tapped her forehead. "Well, Dustin's advice was right. I was wrong. I shouldn't have worried about these "trivial matters" for you."
Luke looked at her with sympathy: "The boss is married."
Elsa's hand that was hitting her head froze.
Luke added insult to injury: "He is no longer a lonely middle-aged man, so he will not take revenge on society in the way you do."
"Shut up." Elsa grabbed the snake fruit on the table and threw it at him: Isn't this clearly indicating that she doesn't have a boyfriend!
Luke gently caught the snake fruit, tossed it, and threw it back into the other fruit: "It's normal for people to care about each other's daily lives, isn't it?"
Elsa snorted and decisively left this extremely unfriendly topic: "Are you sure about this commission?"
Luke took another sip of coffee and answered nonchalantly, "Let's talk about it after I meet Harley. I'm not a relationship counselor. I can't control the relationship between the sisters. I only ensure their personal safety."
Hearing this, Elsa felt relieved.
Detective agencies have always been the destroyers of human relationships. Once most family matters are brought into a detective agency, the chances of a falling out will only increase rapidly.
The main factor here is problems within the parties themselves, but the law firm is definitely an expert at adding fuel to the fire.
But Elsa was not worried about Margaret's sisterhood. She just wanted her best friend to face a reality - sisters cannot be together forever.
Harry was five years older than Margaret and was now twenty-nine.
Even in today's American society, where it is normal not to be married at the age of 39 or even 49, there are not many people who are not involved in something they are passionate about at the age of 29.
A passion can be a promotion and salary increase, or it can be a hobby or entertainment.
It’s obvious that Harley is a woman with great ambition in psychology. If she doesn’t work hard now, is she going to wait until she’s in her forties or fifties to work hard again
The saying that if you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old is indeed true.
You should know that the golden period of learning for most big names in professional disciplines is under 30 years old.
For subjects like mathematics and Go, there is a saying that if you don't become a master by a certain age, there is no hope for your whole life. The age limit is basically around 20 years old.
In the past two years, Harley helped Margaret avoid the pursuit of the Los Angeles gang and resume normal life.
Not everyone can be like Margaret, who inexplicably owns billions of assets and then be content to be an artist without making any money for the rest of her life.
Being a sister to Harley is already very considerate.
Now Harley wants to fight for the career she likes, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Elsa only asked Luke to come for safety reasons and to make sure that the sisters would not be in danger.
Luke's words clearly meant that he promised to guarantee their personal safety, which was different from his previous "it depends on the situation".
Soon, after checking the "gifts", Margaret followed Elena over, and the four of them talked and laughed together, waiting for Harry to come home.
But from six o'clock to seven o'clock, the meal Harley ordered had been delivered, but she did not show up.
We waited from seven to eight o'clock, but Harry still didn't come home.
The atmosphere in the room had become heavy. Margaret paced back and forth anxiously, calling Harry's cell phone from time to time, but no one answered.
Elsa signaled with her eyes, and Luke nodded slightly and then shook his head.
This means that he is already investigating and asked her not to worry.
Luke took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Xiao Wo.
Although he didn't take Margaret's commission seriously in the past two days, he still collected some information about Harry.
He didn't need to look at the previous information, he just looked at Harry's resume over the past year or so.
Xiao Wo began to collect information on Harry's recent whereabouts, searching from near to far, step by step.
Harley did not change jobs and continued to work as a psychologist at Kings Park Sanatorium for the past two years, but Luke discovered that this mental hospital had been renovated last year.
According to Margaret, Harry started working overtime and not going home last year.
Although Clinton Community Home Improvement Company did not get the main project of hospital maintenance, it did receive several related small projects.
It can be seen from the project quotation that the cost of this repair is not low.
After all, the home improvement company only takes on small, scattered businesses, but pays them readily.
It makes no sense for this hospital to spend money on minor details and save money on main maintenance.
He then traced the account and found its corporate account, in which maintenance fees amounted to 12 million US dollars, and were paid within three months.
Luke raised his eyebrows: This maintenance cost is too outrageous. How much time and how many patients will it take to make a profit
This money can definitely be earned back. After all, doctors in the United States make a lot of money, and psychologists are just like lawyers, charging by the hour and making a lot of money.
But investing such a large amount of money in a short period of time, and not rebuilding a hospital, is not a very smart way of using the funds.
There are few stupid capitalists. Even if they don’t understand, the professionals under them will give appropriate suggestions.
So, what on earth did the King's Sanatorium "maintain" during those three months
Seeing this, Luke ordered his second-level clone to go to Kings Park Sanatorium on the seaside west of Brooklyn.
