“I’m uncertain about that.” Luca tightened her grip on the sink, refusing to obey such orders. "If you don't do it, I won’t mind destroying Luke Crawford right away." Abel threatened her. "Do you think I have no choice but to sit here and wait for you to do it? Ivana, I've been making arrangements the whole time you’re carrying out your missions. Do you really think that I don't know what you're up to?"Luca was in despair. Abel had probably obtained more information about T Corporation.However, he did not deal with Luke right away. He thought it would be more interesting to see Luke and Luca ruin each other.Luca's fingers grasped the marble top, and she said angrily, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee I’ll succeed. The place is heavily guarded." "Heavily guarded? That's for outsiders. It can't be more convenient for you to stroll in and out of there easily. Ivana, if you try to fool me again, just wait for the day I lose all my patience. By then, you can only watch help
Luca fell silent.Even though she had yet to find out what the matter was, she was pretty sure that this had something to do with Abel. However, was the spy Dr. Albus, the researchers under him, or Mo Stone?Mo realized Luca had not answered, so she asked carefully, “Dr. Craw, will it be inconvenient for you?”Luca snapped back to her senses. She did not test Mo and just said, “No, I’m just surprised to hear that. After all, I was never involved in Dr. Albus’ research before this.”"Actually, Dr. Albus' research is already at the clinical stage, but we’ve encountered some difficulties. It has been troubling us for a week, and we’ve already asked everyone we could. You know as well that every professor is busy with their own research. Even though Dr. Albus asked for their help, they can't spend too much time helping him solve the problems," Mo explained the current situation to Luca helplessly.Luca understood. She was only slightly surprised. “Dr. Albus’ research has already rea
Amur did understand her situation. However, he had feelings for Luca, which was why he disagreed with what she was doing now.“Haven’t you considered that we can’t fight against the whole Island of Despair if it’s only you and me?” Amur reminded her.It did not matter if he was discovered. The worst they would do was throw his body into the ocean. However, Luca had so much to lose. Was she really going to take the risk for Luke, that useless man?What would happen to Nyla if something happened to her?A little girl growing up on the Island of Despair. There was no doubt what kind of person she would become in the future if she was left alone there. That was why Nyla needed Luca’s company.“I’m sorry. That was rather sudden…” Luca was startled. She did not expect Amur, who had always supported her, to be against it so much. Sure enough, judging from Abel’s power and influence, not everyone dared to stand against him.Amur listened to Luca's tone and let out a sigh. "Forget abo
Luca found an excuse to leave his bedroom after Luke agreed and nodded. She even helped him to close the door before she left.Luke looked at the warm mug of milk on the table. He picked it up and took a sip of it.He did not like the taste of milk, but he would never resist the milk that Luca brought him. It was the same brand of milk and the same mouthfeel, but the taste was different after she heated it. He had asked Mrs. Nancy to heat milk for him before. However, it tasted different from when Luca heated it for him. The same milk tasted different after she heated it.Luke’s eyes became gloomy as he looked at the milk in the mug. He said, “Bea, when are you coming back to me…”…The following day.Luca left the villa after she made breakfast for Luke and the children. She headed to Watson Biopharmaceuticals. She did not have to worry about what the children would be having for lunch as they would be following Luke back to Crawford Manor later.It had been a long time s
Percy asked Luke to send him the evidence of Pierre plotting schemes behind their backs…Luke fell silent for a few seconds when he looked at the message. Then, he replied to him: [Okay.]After Pierre threatened him to quit the tender by kidnapping Luca, Percy and Luke had been digging deeper into Pierre’s past deeds.Pierre was currently expanding his company, and his ventures overlapped with their two families’ corporations. On the surface, it did not seem that Pierre intended to steal their business. However, it was just a front and something Pierre did to impress the Mallory family. After all, the Mallory family had to stand up for their family members for the sake of their reputation. If they found out that Pierre's company was affecting the interests of their family business and the Crawford family’s business, they would have certainly stopped Pierre instead of supporting him.Pierre was just putting a front for others to see.He had been secretly doing things that were
He could help Pierre grow, and he could also tear him down. It was just a matter of time.Percy still considered the Mallory family as his family, but from the moment Pierre made a move on Nina, he had stopped thinking of him as his brother.The nurse walked in with the receipt and saw the two of them holding hands tightly. With envy in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Mallory, Ms. Langdon's discharge procedures have been completed. This is your credit card, and these are the discharge documents from the hospital.""Thank you," Nina reached her hand out, taking the receipt and the credit card. She put the receipt in her pocket and handed the credit card to Percy. "Here.""This is yours to keep." Percy did not take the card."Uh..." Nina looked at the black card in her hand. ‘How generous of him. There’s no limit to the black card. Isn’t he afraid that I’ll squander his money?’"You’re my lover and soon-to-be Mrs. Mallory. My assets should be managed by you," Percy said.Nina laughed o
"If you don't like him, why won’t you let him go? Didn't I give you a sum of money? You don’t want it anymore? Or… do you think it’s too little? That sounds about right. A woman like you would only approach my son to get to me. Tell me, how much do you want this time?" Madam Mallory despised Nina. She took out the checkbook from her handbag and was about to write Nina a check."I don't need money. I didn't need it before, I don't need it now, and I won't need it in the future." Nina held Percy's hand tightly. She initially planned to stand aside and let him solve the matter on his own. However, she could not keep quiet any longer.Since she loved him, she was willing to share weal and woe with him. They would get through hardships together. That was what true love was.She would never back down because she was afraid."What do you want?!" Madam Mallory was fuming from what she said and threw the checkbook on the sofa."I didn’t know how I felt before, so I told you that I had no i
Percy held Nina's hand tightly. He was beside her, so she had nothing to be afraid of..."No matter what the consequence, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She’s my soulmate. No one can change my mind about that."The corners of Nina’s eyes were moist when she heard how unyielding his tone was.No matter what she had to endure in the future, what Percy just said was enough to sustain her through it all. There would be no more misunderstandings and differences moving forward because she realized that this man loved her as much as she loved him."What if you had to give up everything that comes with being a Mallory?" Old Master Mallory was cross seeing how determined Percy was.The Mallory family was the source of all his glory. The old master did not think that Nina would still opt to be with Percy if he lost everything.Percy did not waver. "Even if you take everything from me, I still want to be with Nina."Old Master Mallory slammed his cane hard on the floor. ‘Doe
