Tia’s words were stuck in her throat.Luke would have to attend a meeting in five minutes, which meant if she wanted to appear as an understanding person, she had to take the initiative to leave.“Sure,” replied Luke.Tia rose as well and said, "Mr. Crawford, since you have things to do, then I'll leave first.""Oh, sorry to be troubling you with Dr. Craw’s affair,” Luke mentioned Luca again, and he seemed to be very considerate toward her.Tia was inwardly upset. He invited her over today yet every word that came out of his mouth was about Luca. She was just someone who came to help. It made her feel like an outsider. She was in love with Luke, and needless to say, this sort of situation would naturally upset her."It's not too much trouble. From what I see, Dr. Craw's situation seems to be quite serious. I'd love to help if possible. Then I can write in it my lesson plan," said Tia. She was a part-time psychology professor at A University. "Sure." Luke did not say anything
There was fear in Nina’s voice. Luca could not just sit idly by.She glanced at the laboratory and made a decision at that moment. She walked toward the office. "Don't open the door first and block it with the cabinet. Wait for me."When Nina knew Luca was coming, she felt calmer. However, Perrie was no angel. A thought came into her mind and she said worriedly, “No, don’t come over. I’ll barricade the door with the cabinet first. If he can’t get in, he’ll probably stop after a while.” Perrie Mallory was the second young master of the Mallory family. Only a few in A City were able to deal with him, so she dared not to call the police either.It was because she knew that when the police heard it was Perrie, they would certainly leave him alone. They might even think of a way to open the door for him and welcome Perrie in. Luca would probably fight with Perrie if she came here.Nina did not want her best friend to get into trouble because of her, so she stopped Luca after she tho
It was because he had heard her conversation with Nina and found out about the whole matter that when Nina called him for help, Luke did not have to spend much time trying to figure out what had happened. He agreed immediately. Luca only remembered about Luke after she took two steps forward. When she turned around, he was already out of the car and closing the car door.She said, “Mr. Crawford, let's go up now?” Looking at her being truly worried about Nina's situation, Luke nodded his head and entered the apartment with her.Luca walked into the elevator and pressed the button instantly. As she watched the number on the elevator screen slowly going up, she could not stop herself from thinking about Nina. They were told that the security measures in this district were pretty good, so Luca had no idea how Perrie managed to get in.Could it be that he entered in Percy’s name? Judging from how much Percy cared about Nina, if he knew Perrie did such a thing, he would skin him off
“Did Percy ever tell you about his plans?” asked Luke. Perrie's expression changed to dismay. Indeed, he was merely just someone who followed the orders given to him in the Mallory family. Perrie had a wild personality, and he did not care about handling the affairs of the Mallory family. Basically, he was not involved in the family’s plans. He only followed what Percy said. He had no idea what he was planning this time. Although many of the plans were executed by Perrie, it was still Percy who took the credit. He did not care about it at first, but he held some resentment after Luke said that. He looked at Luke's calm expression as if he knew what Percy's plan was. Could it be that there was something he did not know about and Percy had another plan?"Luke, you've been minding your business in the past. Are you doing this today for the woman in there or the woman out here?" Perrie was suppressing the anger in him because he could not seem to figure out if Percy really had a
Jean thought since she was being straightforward, he would not beat about the bush either. He said directly, “Transfer 20,000 dollars to me now to pay for Mom's medical bills.”“20,000 dollars?” Nina raised her eyebrows."You know how expensive the new medicine is. 20,000 dollars is cheap enough. Including the cost of the nursing expenses as well as the food expenses, we need money to pay for all of that,” Jean said without feeling an ounce of guilt for demanding such a huge amount of money. Nina had already known that her brother was hopeless. Fortunately, she had been keeping her eyes on him. “I’ll transfer 5,000 dollars later. That’s all,” said Nina.Jean replied with a higher pitch, “5,000? How is that enough?”5,000 dollars was just enough for Anna’s medical bills. It was not nearly enough to cover the food expenses and his living expenses.“Yes, it’s not enough. I’ll transfer the money for Mom’s food expenses and nursing expenses to Aunt Susan. If Mom wants to have anyth
Luca's guess was correct. The rumors were already spreading by the time she reached the laboratory. While working on their research, the researchers in the laboratory were talking about how she had left the building and returned with Luke. They were still talking when Luca entered, and they were embarrassed because they did not manage to stop themselves. She heard the last part of their conversation, though she walked back to her position without showing any expression on her face. All the researchers in her team were male; several female researchers had applied for an interview, but Luca rejected them all. She thought that men were less prone to gossip, but it seemed that her preconception was wrong. Most men were not like Luke, who showed no interest in gossip. "You can continue talking," Luca sat in her seat and put on goggles. The researchers looked at each other. None of them dared to say anything. Rhett came out of the cultivation room and saw that Luca was alread
Tia assumed that something must have happened in Luca's past for her to be so afraid of blood, and the murder incident at her apartment only deepened that fear. Anyone who had a fear of blood must be hiding a dark past. Tia thought of dredging that dark past and telling Luke. Luke would definitely stay away from Luca after that. Arriving at that thought, she clenched her fists and picked up her phone. Sophia knocked on her office door. "Ms. Tia, your next client is waiting for you in the consultation room. She has an appointment with you." Tia stopped typing on her phone. 'I know," she said impatiently. "Are you going over now?" Sophia asked. Usually, patients would not mind waiting for their doctor, but Tia's next client was someone they could not afford to offend. That was why Sophie was so nervous. "I'll go over in a bit," Tia said impatiently. She was typing a message to invite Luca out for lunch. "Ms. Tia, I don't think you should let the client wait for too long?"
Alarm bells rang in Luca's head. Her hand on the doorknob was shaking slightly. If the slip of paper was on the ground, it could only mean that someone had been there. Even though the security measures at the apartment were much better than her previous apartment, Abel would definitely have a way to sneak in. There were very few things in the world that could stop Abel. Luca took a deep breath. What should she do if the person inside was Abel? She would not mind it if it were her apartment, but she was in Luke's apartment… Luke had probably installed surveillance cameras in the apartment. If Abel was inside, would Luke be able to see him through the security feed and therefore find out his plans? If he could, she would be free. Luca did not know what to make of the situation. Eventually, she took a deep breath, braced herself, and opened the door. She was mentally prepared to see Abel behind the door. The moment she opened the door, she heard sounds from the television.
