After taxes, that's the key, real solid income.

That's pretty incredible.

Oh right, the twenty thousand dollars from selling the bluefin tuna.

With this money, not only can Luke pay off the remaining construction contract fees, but he can also pay off the mortgage early. Luke will be debt-free and still have over a million dollars in stocks and cash.

This feels great, very relaxed.

On the way back, the girl with glasses didn't ask to pilot the plane again; she kept drinking champagne and was a bit tipsy. Although she didn't have the over forty thousand dollars yet, it was already well-planned out.

Luke felt that it would take less than two months, no, maybe one month, for her to spend that money.

The plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles airport at 2 PM.

Once the cabin door opened, the girl with glasses grabbed her backpack and excitedly ran out of the cabin, "Los Angeles, I'm back.

I've never loved you as much as I do now."

Luke also stood up and looked at Lilith beside him, "I remember you said you met Elsa Marin through an elder?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know either...

But thanks for the reminder." Lilith stepped closer and kissed Luke with her soft red lips.

Although Luke was a bit surprised, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and responded passionately.

"Ouch..." Luke felt a sting on his lip. When they separated, he touched his lip to find it bitten and bleeding. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, just a farewell gift for you, bye." With her slender left hand, Lilith regained her proud demeanor, slung her khaki backpack, and gracefully walked off the private jet.

Luke didn't bother to delve into it. After all, they're both adults. It was just a night; he didn't think it necessarily meant anything.

Luke had investigated the Finn family and found that this family wasn't as simple as it seemed.

It's like Bill Gates; everyone knows Bill Gates is rich, but some media deliberately ignore his parents.

The Finn family is the same; media reports only mention that Lilith's grandfather loves treasure hunting and burying treasures everywhere. Many believe her grandfather made his fortune on his own, but the Finn family originally was European nobility with deep roots. His initial startup capital also came from the family.

Just like this private jet, even if it were given to Luke for free, he couldn't afford to maintain it.

Lilith was trapped in a desperate situation on a deserted island when Luke suddenly appeared and saved her. In such a crisis, she might develop admiration, dependence, or simply seek a sense of security from Luke.

But now that they've returned to Los Angeles, the social dynamics have changed, which might also affect their relationship.

Let's just take it as it comes.

After parting with Lilith and the girl with glasses, Luke returned home, took a shower, and lay on the sofa to rest.

He still preferred the climate in Los Angeles.

"Ring ring..."

Luke's phone rang; it was Zhang Jianguo's number.

"Hello."

"Mr. Li, have you returned to Los Angeles?"

"I just got off the plane."

"That's great; are you free this evening? I would like to host a dinner to welcome you back."

"Not tonight, I have plans."

"When is convenient for you?"

Luke had been away for a few days, and the Zhang brothers had been left waiting long enough. "How about tomorrow noon? I'll treat you brothers to lunch."

Zhang Jianguo felt honored and flattered, "How could I trouble you to spend so much?"

"Last time you brothers treated me; this time it's my turn.

It's settled then."
