As soon as Eric heard that, he immediately praised Pierre, "That’s smart! When will this matter end?"Based on the industry standards, they had to complete everything before they could receive any money.Pierre glared at him. "If Luke cares about this woman, he’ll act soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"Eric was speechless when he heard that Luke Crawford was involved.He was not afraid because Luke was involved. There were not many people who could get Luke’s attention. If he compromised because of a threat, he would have to compromise a lot.What worried him was if Luke treasured the woman in the room.The two seemed to be romantically linked… If he and Derek were not able to escape in time, both of them would be sent to jail!"What? Are you feeling dissatisfied? Do you think I’m not paying you enough?" Pierre asked when he saw Eric keeping quiet.Eric wailed in his heart. If he had known that this woman was involved with Luke, he would never have kidnapped her no matter ho
Luca stared at the ceiling and could not think of any ideas.Her only option was to obediently go with their arrangement lest she suffered again. A woman against two men was not a fair fight to begin with. On top of that, her hands and feet were bound.Eric opened the door and walked in. When he saw how desperate Luca looked, he thought about the connections she had.He felt uneasy, so he opened the door and walked in with some medicine."Does it hurt?" He looked at Luca's swollen face. He did not hold back when he slapped her earlier. After all, he did not dare to disobey Pierre’s orders in front of him.Luca glanced at him and said nothing.It hurt for her to open her mouth, let alone speak.Eric was not bothered that she did not respond. He took out the medicine in his pocket. When he went to purchase merbromin and iodophor, the pharmacist recommended it after she learned about the patient’s wound.She told him that if he was unsure of the depth of the wound, it was best if
Luke turned on the camera, and at the same time, the video was done loading. He moved the mouse to the button for it to start playing, and his hands were shaking a little."Luke, calm down." Percy saw the cursor trembling slightly on the computer screen and knew that he was nervous.Luke acted calm but he could never calm himself down whenever the matter involved Bianca.Bianca was his other half. She was his sun and moon. After all these years, she finally came back to him but was forced to go through these hardships all over again. When he thought of that, Luke could not calm down. "Click on it," Percy said.Luke clicked on the video.The video had been edited. What they saw was Luca being slapped in the face by a man wearing a mask. After a few slaps, her face swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.The loud sounds of slapping came from the stereo, which showed that this video was not faked.Luke could not help but clench his fists when he saw Luca being tortured. He
Luke glanced out the window and said in a confident tone, "It's here."Jason was about to pull over to the side of the road when he heard Luke say, "Go a little farther.""Yes." Jason followed his instructions and drove past two villas before he stopped the car.Luke sat in the car and had no intentions of getting out. He directed the men who were already lurking in the area.He was feeling extra confident since Percy had lent him his men as well.Jason sat in the driver's seat without moving, silently waiting for the next command.Once everything was planned out, Luke opened the car door.When Jason saw that he was about to get out of the car, he quickly asked, "Boss, do you want me to follow you?""Wait here," Luke instructed him with a blank expression. He got out of the car, walked to Pierre's villa, and glanced at the surveillance camera at the door.He did not bother to sneak around because he was not afraid that the people inside would find out that he was here and run
He switched positions with Eric, and his knife was on Luca's neck. "Come on, shoot me. I promise that this woman will die if we die. It’s not too bad having a woman with us on the road to hell. Mr. Crawford, what do you say?"Luke’s heart tightened when he saw Luca's pale face and how she was being held against her will by the knife on her neck.She seemed uncomfortable and had some difficulty breathing.When Eric saw the muzzles of the guns aimed at him, he threw caution to the wind. The most important thing now was to escape. The woman in front of them was their only bargaining chip."Yeah, if you dare to shoot us, I’ll stab this knife into her body.”Luca heard their threats, and she winked at Luke. She could not speak, so she could only hint at him.It was time to turn passive into active...Derek said, "Now, get out of the way and get a car ready for us at the door..."Luca twisted her bound hands while Derek was talking and hit the acupuncture points of the person behind
Jason shot her a glance. His boss must never find out what they were talking about. He would probably fly into a rage judging by how much he cared for Luca. He reminded Tina in a soft voice, “Don’t ever let Boss hear this. Otherwise, you and I will get into trouble.”Tina was enlightened after he reminded her. She covered her mouth and looked around her. Fortunately, Luke was not around.Jason headed to the payment counter and said, “Go back to the office first. Handle any tasks in the office, and if you can’t deal with any, leave it for the boss when he comes back.”Luke would not be able to work under such conditions now. It would be better to wait until Luca’s condition had stabilized. “Alright. I know what to do.” Tina nodded.After Tina left, Jason brought Luca's information with him and registered her admission to the hospital on her behalf. Then, he returned to look for Luke.Luca was still undergoing various medical check-ups."Boss, I've registered Dr. Craw," Jason r
He looked at the badly injured Luca. She would not be able to eat anything, not even porridge. With her condition now, she needed someone to feed her little by little.Johann suggested, “I’ll give Dr. Craw an IV drip so she won’t feel hungry. But she’s lost a lot of blood. She needs to restore her nutrition. You can get someone to prepare some oatmeal for her. You’ll have to find a way to make her get used to eating it, or maybe feed her when she’s awake. She must eat something.” "Alright." Luke picked up his phone and ordered Mrs. Nancy to prepare some oatmeal to send to the hospital.Crawford Manor.Mrs. Nancy told Mr. Griffin that Luca was injured right after she received Luke’s order.Previously, Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin had already known that Luca was kidnapped. The old master was worried sick, and he even sent his men to look for her.Mr. Griffin told Old Master Crawford about the news immediately after he was informed.Old Master Crawford could barely sit st
Old Master Crawford frowned, and he said worriedly, "The IV drip won't supply as many nutrients as food does. She should take the oatmeal while it's still warm." Luca was still asleep, and Luke could not bear to wake her up. He glanced at the thermos flask on the coffee table and reminded the old master that the oatmeal would not get cold that easily. "The oatmeal is in the thermos flask." Old Master Crawford cleared his throat. He was so worried about Luca that he forgot Mrs. Nancy had kept it in a thermos flask that could keep the food inside warm for six to seven hours.After a while, Jason entered Luca's ward along with the printed document. Then, he handed it to the old master respectfully.Old Master Crawford took it from him and read the information that they had found out. Indeed, Pierre had established a company of his own. He had raised quite a huge amount of funds, and his company was even listed on the market in New York. "Good gracious. I thought he was a good-for-
