Luca only finished dressing up when it was almost nighttime. It was not a particularly important party, so she wore a black long dress, tied her hair into a bun, and put on some light makeup. She was taken aback when she saw herself in the mirror. Ever since her face changed, she had never groomed herself to this extent, and the face in the mirror was still unfamiliar to her. Luca could not help but chuckle coldly when she looked at her delicate features. Ever since her face changed, she stayed away from the mirror whenever she could and rarely dressed herself up. She would not have done so if she were not forced to go to the party. Her phone began to ring. She glanced at the screen and saw that the call was from Luke. Did he call her because he was afraid that she might bail on him? Luca took a deep breath and answered the call. "Mr. Crawford." "I'm downstairs," Luke said. Before she could react, Luke had already ended the call. Luca was speechless as she listened to t
Luca did not say anything as she watched Luke press the button for the rooftop banquet hall. The two people remained silent during the elevator ride. No one went in or out throughout the ride, so they reached the rooftop relatively quickly. The elevator doors opened, and two waiters were waiting for them. The waiters could recognize Luke. They greeted him warmly and noticed Luca that also stepped out of the elevator with him. One of the waiters recognized that she was the woman implicated in Luke's scandal earlier. It was not surprising that the two people appeared at the same party. After all, one was a prominent businessman, and the other was a researcher in the field. What was surprising was that they arrived at the same time. Luke handed the invitation to the waiter and walked into the hall. Everyone in the hall noticed his arrival. Their eyes fell on Luke, and naturally, they noticed Luca too. She did not feel comfortable being looked at, so she took a glass of cha
Luke's gaze remained as harsh as ever, so Johann explained, "I'd like to discuss external medicine with her so that I can hone my skills." "…" Luke did not reply. Instead, he looked away from Johann and continued to look at Luca. Johann shrugged and looked at Luca too. Luca looked over and noticed that the two men were looking at her. She was standing in a relatively secluded corner, so she was very sure that the two men were looking at her. She felt slightly uneasy about it. Meanwhile, in a VIP suite in the Westin Hotel, Abel swirled a glass of red wine in his hand. Hera was sitting next to him, and her heart shuddered every time Abel swirled the glass. They had not met each other for quite some time, and she was quite surprised when Abel said that he wanted to meet her. "What are we doing now, Abel?" Hera desired Abel's money, but she was wary of his unpredictability. Abel had been staring at the television screen ever since Hera came into the room. On the screen was
When he saw the woman collapse on the floor, Luke did not give a second thought before crouching down and cradling her head. Johann also crouched down and took her pulse. A minute later, he looked at Luke. "She's drunk," he said. "Drunk?" Luke looked at the unconscious woman, wondering why she had passed out when she did not drink much. "Yes, she's drunk. Her pulse is regular, and she doesn't look like she has a medical condition," Johann said. Luke looked at Luca's face. She did not look like she had drunk a lot, and her face was not blushing. Cole glanced at Luca and suggested, "How about I send Dr. Craw home?" Luke shook his head. Luca was unconscious, and he did not want to leave her in someone else's hands. Moreover, he knew Cole's character very well. Luke knew what Cole had done before, but Watson needed the manpower, and he hired him because of his abilities and experience. Johann glanced at her and said, "It's not a good idea to send her back now either. How
Everyone in A City was shocked when Luke brought Bianca home. Many media outlets had thought that Luke was only pretending to reunite with her. They expected that their marriage would end in failure after some time. While everyone waited with bated breath for the drama, two years passed just like that. In that period, many female celebrities tried to stir up a scandal with Luke's name, but none of them succeeded. They had to come up with public apologies and admit that they were making up stories. Luke could say that he had not done anything to betray Bianca over the past two years. If Luke took the bait, Hera was eager to see what Abel would do. Abel narrowed his eyes and thought of her question. "What am I going to do? I haven't thought about it yet. I guess it'll depend on my mood." He did not plan to ruin Luke so quickly, so he would not do anything too drastic. What he wanted to see was Luke slowly sinking into the abyss of despair. Hera could see the malice in Abe
Luke understood what she meant. He put the water bottle away, gritted his teeth, and picked her up in a bridal carry. "Bear with it just a little longer." Luca could feel the world spin around her. When she was picked up from the bed, she instinctively grabbed Luke's shirt sleeve. Luke had already taken off his coat when he entered the room earlier. Through the thin material of his shirt, he could feel the boiling-hot temperature of her hand. Luke grunted and stifled his urges. He quickly walked into the bathroom and gently placed her into the bathtub. When Luca loosened her grip on him, Luke felt that he had lost a part of him. Luke saw that Luca's eyes were tightly shut, and her brows were tightly furrowed in agony. Without hesitation, he turned on the shower. The warm water splashed on Luca's body. Soon, her dress was soaked through and clung to her skin, revealing her curvaceous body. Luke gawked at her. He did not realize that passion was flaring in his eyes. The w
"I can't remember." Luca shook her head. She should not have been so careless. In that atmosphere, she was not in the mood to pay attention to the details. It did not matter if she did not remember. After all, they could check the surveillance cameras if they wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Abel was much more meticulous than that. Even if they managed to identify the waiter, they would not be able to trace it back to Abel. Luke's expression sank. He did not expect such an incident to happen in a six-star hotel. Luca could sense the iciness in his eyes. "Forget it. You won't be able to find out anything." "How would you know?" Luke raised his eyebrows. Luca seemed to have an answer for everything, but those answers seemed so perfunctory. He could not believe her. Luca did not have a reply for that. The antidote had alleviated the physical effects of the drug, but her thoughts were still in a muddle. If she were not careful, she might accidentally divulge someth
Luca smiled slightly when she heard Luke's phone ring. She could recognize the ringtone; it was Bianca's special ringtone. The ringtone once belonged to her. Jason had told her that whenever Luke heard that ringtone, he would drop everything and immediately pick up that call. However, the ringtone did not belong to her anymore, and she could not get Luke to set a unique ringtone for her. Luke had no intention of answering the phone. His eyes remained transfixed on her. He had noticed the slight smile on Luca's face when the phone started ringing. Was she hoping that she would be saved by the call? Seeing that Luke was not picking up the phone, Luca reminded him, "Mr. Crawford, your phone is ringing." "I know," Luke said. He had taken out his phone while waiting for her to change. After she stepped out of the bathroom, he put the phone on the couch. The phone on the couch was ringing non-stop, but he was standing next to the bed. "That ringtone isn't one of the default one
