Nina’s gaze shifted away from her kids and toward Luca, but she found that she had already left.As Nina watched her walk away, she found Luca familiar. After Luca left the children's clothing area, she slowly calmed down and contained the pain she felt. She was overjoyed to meet Nina. She wanted to hold her hand and catch up to ask about how she had been in the past few years.However, she could not do that.Luca hated feeling powerless.She walked around the mall and realized that she was not in the mood to shop, so she walked toward the exit.There was an event happening on the first floor of the mall. Luca looked up and saw the logo of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. She was stunned and brought her steps to a stop.She could not hear anything that the host of the event was saying. She just stood there and stared at the logo of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC with mixed feelings.This logo was designed by her. Three years later, the company was still around and the l
Sue shook her head helplessly when the word ‘wedding’ was mentioned. "I don't think it's possible for me to get married.""Why?" Nina was puzzled as she thought that Jason and Sue had a stable and sweet relationship. It should just be a matter of time before they got married."Whether we can get married depends on when his ex-wife will stop bothering him. Only then will I agree to his marriage proposal," Sue said. It was not that Jason had never proposed to her but that she kept turning him down.In the past three years, Bailey had not given up on badgering Jason. Although her methods had toned down, Sue still did not feel comfortable about it.If and when Jason found a way to put a stop to his ex-wife’s erratic behavior, she would get married to him then.When Nina heard about what was going on between them, she sighed and said, "What if Mr. Crawford introduces a successful entrepreneur to Bailey? Maybe she’d give up on Mr. Doyle then. That woman is truly sickening."Sue listene
"Miss!" Amur was standing near the balcony. The moment he heard something, he turned around and saw the familiar face that made him pleasantly surprised.Luca was relieved to see that it was Amur. She kept the knife in her hand in her pocket and said, "Amur, it's you! Why did you get off the island?""I left the island because the boss sent me on a mission that happened to be near here, so I wanted to visit you. Miss, how are you doing?" Amur grinned when he saw her, his gaze softening."I'm doing great. You’re getting buff! It seems that your training has improved." Luca approached him and did not ask how he came in. They were all trained on the Island of Despair. Gates as such did not pose any difficulty.Even the security measures of Crawford Manor could not hinder them.Amur had grown a lot stronger during the time she was away. That was why she did not recognize his figure just now.Amur blushed when he heard her praise. He touched his hair and approached her. "Miss, I’ve be
Luca chuckled softly when she noticed how uncomfortable he was. He had referred to her as ‘Miss’ for three years and was not used to calling her by her name. She served him two pieces of beef and said, "Okay, let’s eat.""Thank you..." Amur smiled shyly. "Thank you."After the meal, Amur took the initiative to wash the dishes while Luca helped him clean up the room where he would sleep in. She put all the books back in the bookcase and took out a new bed sheet from the closet. She wanted to make sure that he felt at home."Thank you, Miss." Amur finished washing the dishes and saw her running around to prepare the room for him. He stepped forward to thank her."Stop calling me ‘Miss’." Luca shook her head helplessly, pointed to the trash bag on the floor, and said, "You can take this out for me. I haven’t had the chance to clean it up after I experimented two days ago.""Okay." Amur took the garbage bag and walked out.After Luca made the bed, she took the initiative to wipe all
The thin man took a sip of beer and looked at him. "What do you have in mind?"The fat man got close to his ears and shared his evil plans.After he heard the fat man’s plans, the thin man smiled grimly, picked up his fork, and got himself a piece of popcorn chicken. "That’s a good plan. We’ll make this woman kneel in front of our brothers and beg for mercy!""That's right, Brother. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. It’s just a matter of time before this woman begs for your mercy." The fat man smiled wryly. The layers of fat on his face were squished together. As his smile was too big, his fat face was jiggling.Luca did not notice them and continued to walk forward.When she was tired, she sat at a food stall where she ordered two dishes and a bottle of beer.On the other hand in Crawford Manor.Bianca sat on the sofa in the bedroom. She looked at the photo on the phone and tightened the grip on her phone. Her veins were nearly bursting.She received an
"Even if I already have a godmother, I can still have a few more." Tommy was puzzled."Don’t you think that you’re being too reckless about this? She’s your father's employee. If she becomes your godmother, the hierarchy will be messed up." Bianca resolutely refused, the hostility in her heart growing more intense.Ivana was picking a fight with her. It seemed that she was going to take away not only Luke but also the children.She would never let this happen. If she failed the mission, she would be dead within minutes upon returning to the Island of Despair!Tommy pouted and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why does it matter? Aunt Nina is my godmother and she’s also Dad’s employee."Luke noticed Bianca's resistance and said, "She has to agree to be your godmother before we can do that. We’ll talk about it later."Tommy pouted and glanced at the photo. He then sat back and replied, "Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Luca when the time comes. I'm sure she’ll agree."Bianca was furious when she h
"It's so late. Why haven't you slept?" Luke crossed his arms and sat in the chair. His expression was calm."I can't sleep." Bianca played with her fingers anxiously. Before he could say anything, she said, "Luke, I overreacted today. I didn’t mean anything else. But if you’re interested in her, I’ll leave. Since Tommy likes her too, you can be one happy family."As Luke listened to her sorrowful words, his expression was flat. Bianca could not see any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.Bianca waited for his answer by the door. Seeing how calm he was, she turned from confident to anxious."Don't think too much of it. Go to sleep," Luke said after he did not move for some time.He did not comfort her nor comment further...Bianca was dissatisfied but calmed down a little. At the very least, he was not going to divorce her for Ivana.She nodded. When she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Luke say, "Don’t worry about the reporter.""Aren’t you going to pay him off?" Bia
"Dr. Craw?" Talia was surprised. She could not help herself from talking to Luca again as she walked over. "You’re not an assistant? You’re a professor?""Yeah." Luca did not hide anything from her. Her expression remained neutral as she walked to the elevator with her ID in her hand."You look so young..." Talia could not help but utter what was in her heart. Realizing that she had said something wrong, she immediately covered her mouth and explained, "I’m not questioning your ability, it’s just...""It's okay." Luca did not take her words to heart.It was normal for a young person like her who had just entered the corporate world to be straightforward. It was a great thing that she had yet to be tainted by office politics. Luca thought of the days when she had just returned to the country. Suddenly, she felt a little sad because she realized that it was all in the past. It was difficult for her to live a normal life now.Seeing that Luca did not seem to mind her words, Talia b
