Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 125
Luci was waiting for Tedy’s arrival. During the waiting time, she kept checking her cell phone. She was worried about Spider.
‘Should I just call Ider? But what if he turns out to be unconscious?’ thought Luci with doubts.
She then preferred to watch TV again. The matter about Evan sulking and locking himself in Luci’s room seemed to evaporate and vanish from her mind in an instant.
Her hand had just grabbed the remote to press the button there when suddenly a call came in. Luci glanced at her cellphone which was lying on the table. Her face was filled with joy when she discovered that the call was from Spider.
Quickly Luci picked up the phone. “Hello, Ider?” said Luci in a cheerful voice. Her joy was almost as if she had found her valuables which had been lost for so long.
“Hello, Bee, am I bothering you?” asked Spider.
Luci breathed a sigh of relief, though the caller was one of Spider’s employees, just like Lev had called Luci using Spider’s number. But after hearing Spider’s voice, Luci couldn’t hide his gratitude.
“Thank goodness you’re awake!” cried Luci in a very loud shriek. Someone’s joy sometimes likes to be expressed by exaggerating expressions, right?
Meanwhile, Evan was getting ready. His body stiffened when he heard Luci’s voice screeching and saying the words, “Thank goodness you’re awake!”. Now he was walking on his knees. Slowly and carefully Evan put his ear to Luci’s door.
“He’s aware? Is he awake?” Evan chirped to himself.
On the other side of the call, Spider was giggling sheepishly. “Hahaha, yes I’m awake, Bee. Are you worried about me?” asked Spider. His heart started beating so fast that Spider had to rub his chest to calm his noisy heartbeat.
However, Spider’s efforts were not very fruitful. His heart was still beating wildly like a parade of drums pounding on the ground.
‘Stupid heart! Don’t beat too fast! Don’t let Bee find out! You have to behave properly!’ Spider cursed in his head.
“Of course I’m worried. My brother is sick, how can I not be worried?” Luci grimaced in his place. She looks normal and doesn’t smell any oddity, even though on the other end of the call Spider has frozen with a disappointed and gloomy face.
‘Hm, I’m just his older brother.’ Spider looked down sadly. His fingers move erratically.
Tom and Matt watched Spider closely. They were still in the room where Spider was being treated at this time.
“Broken heart. I bet it’s a heartbroken face,” Matt guessed in a whisper in Tom’s ear.
“Come on, make a video call! I want to see how you’re doing!” asked Luci enthusiastically. She had switched voice calls to video calls.
Evan burst out of Luci’s room with swift, lightning-fast footsteps, and wouldn’t miss a single chance not to check on the man Luci was calling.
‘Is he handsome? Is he cool? Is he more macho than me?’ Those questions kept rolling in Evan’s head.
The door was pushed open. The squeaking sound was so loud that it made Luci turn around and catch Evan who was already running and getting closer to her.
“What do you want?” asked Luci who instantly made Evan freeze and feel awkward.

The search for information carried out by a mother who lost her child to death under the guise of murder has not stopped. Aunt Arum was still walking down the dark path she knew was to hire someone to carry out a task. Her revenge ambition for destroying Luci still hasn’t subsided.
“This should be the place,” Auntie Arum whispered to herself. At this time she was walking along a busy street in the city. Many offices and shops are lined up like snakes that have been around for thousands of years.
Aunt Arum’s footsteps along with her shoes dominated the place. The street is indeed busy, but some of the narrow alleys around it tend to be quiet due to several reasons. One of the reasons is that some of the alleys are only allowed to be passed by people with an interest.
A man in a baseball jacket confronted Aunt Arum. Many beards grew on his chubby face. “Affairs?” The man asked in a commanding tone.
Aunt Arum lowered the glasses she was wearing at the time. Her head which was wrapped by a hat accompanied by a cloth to cover her face seemed not enough to hide.
“James Wolf’s office,” said Aunt Arum, with wary eyes. Her gaze repeatedly scanned the deserted buildings in front of her. Only a narrow alley will lead her to her destination.
“Have you made an appointment?” asked the man. His body is strong like an athlete’s. His muscles bulged and squeezed the baseball jacket clinging to his body.
“Yes,” nodded Aunt Arum.
After returning from the building where Bruto is and finding rejection, Aunt Arum immediately prepares a plan to ease her way to destroy Luci. One of them is that she must meet James Wolf, a prominent private detective in the city.
“Passwords?” asked the burly man again. It seems he just wants to buy Aunt Arum’s time, with a purpose that is never known for certain.
Aunt Arum was seen taking out her cellphone. Inside has recorded the password given by James Wolf’s secretary a few moments ago.
“Oh, here’s the password. I’m not good at English so…” Aunt Arum showed the message on the screen. It said “nos tres tenemus” on her cell phone screen.
The man in front of her raised an eyebrow. “That’s Spanish,” the man commented. Though the password comes from the Roman language which means, “We drink three (glasses).” Those two people suck.
“Oh, I see.” Aunt Arum nodded shyly.
“Please!” He stretched out his hand to invite Aunt Arum to enter.
She quickly sped up and stepped on her feet in a hurry and filled with enthusiasm. After finding the desired building or office, Aunt Arum pushed a wooden door in front of her.
A small but clean office was already in front of her. There was a plump woman with blonde hair who was currently sitting behind the computer desk and typing something.
“Good afternoon. I have an appointment with Mr. James Wolf at this time,” said Aunt Arum. Her body was right in front of the secretary’s computer.
“Oh, Mrs. Arum? You are ten minutes late for information. Fine, please come with me!” The secretary got up and walked to take Aunt Arum to Mr. James Wolf’s office which was only ten steps away from the secretary’s computer.
“Mr. James, your client has arrived.” The secretary nodded when he was inside James Wolf’s room. After her boss confirmed with a wave, the secretary backed away.
Aunt Arum leaned over and sat on a chair after James Wolf motioned for her to sit down.
“So how’s it going, Mrs. Arum?” asked James Wolf, who had already put away some of the files and documents he had checked.
“I want you to investigate someone. I want you to investigate if he has anything I don’t know about.” Aunt Arum raised her face seriously.
James Wolf frowned. “Like for example?”
“Like for example whether she has a relationship with someone influential in the city or not. She could have been a mistress of a businessman and so on. I need to know,” said Aunt Arum.
