Pierre kept silent for a moment and chose to believe her.All along, Madam Mallory had cared more for him than Percy. However, their grandfather, Old Master Mallory, had always favored Percy. He knew that the only one who could help him was his mother.He told her everything he did.After Madam Mallory heard everything, she shook her head and shouted, "Pierre, how could you do such a thing?!""If I’m not lying here now, I could have done more and they still wouldn’t have found anything." Pierre gritted his teeth. He thought of Luca and did not expect that she could be so terrifying.With only her bare hands, she hurt him so badly that all he could do was lie here. Even the doctor could not figure out what was wrong.He had no direct evidence, so not only could the police not help him but even the doctors and nurses in the hospital thought that he was addicted to painkillers..."They won’t be able to verify the document in a day and a half. Have you ever thought about the consequ
"Stop it. Stop teasing me." Nina's words showed the pamperedness of a woman in love. "It's obvious that I don’t hold a place in your heart, so you didn't come to the hospital to pick me up.""If I had shown up, wouldn’t it ruin your fun time with Mr. Mallory?" Luca listened to the tone of Nina’s voice and knew that something must have happened.Otherwise, Nina would not be speaking in this tone.Her words seemed to be covered with honey, which made Luca both relieved and envious.Nina snorted and said, "I don't care. I was discharged from the hospital today and you didn't come to pick me up, so you must accompany me for dinner.""Now?" Luca glanced at the time. It was not too late."Of course, there's no time like the present. Today's Sunday. I’ve informed Sue and booked the restaurant. The two of you must have a meal with me today." Nina shared her ultimate goal.In the past few years that she and Percy were on and off, Sue and Bianca were the ones always by her side. Later, Bi
Luca sighed and looked at the hot air she breathed out. She could not help looking at the streetlights on the side of the road.It turned out that, unknowingly, the weather was already so cold. The breath exhaled was misty.Taxi could not stop where she was, so Luca could only continue walking.Her phone rang, and Luca, who was immersed in recollecting her past memories, was startled as she took her phone out of her pocket.It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.Luca frowned. She was unfamiliar with the number, but when she saw the numbers eight and nine, she knew that whoever was calling was rich.She answered, "Hello.""Is this Luca Craw?" There was a proud female voice on the other end of the line.Luca could not see her expression, but she could imagine the disdainful look of the other party. "Who’s calling?"The woman on the other end of the phone did not expect her to ask such a question. She was stunned, then she said, "You’re Luca Craw, right? I have something to talk
Luca picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice, ignoring her sarcasm."The police didn't arrest me, so what’s there for them to do to me? I just cooperated to help with the investigation. There’s no evidence to point out that I hurt anyone." She smiled and thought of how this woman's mouth had once spat out extremely vicious words to Nina. She was thinking about how she could get even with Madam Mallory."There were surveillance cameras that captured what you did. How dare you say that there’s no evidence? If you didn’t touch him, my son wouldn't be lying in the hospital now!" Madam Mallory was raving mad that the police released Luca, saying that there was no direct evidence to link her to Pierre’s injuries. The hospital could not issue an injury report either because they found nothing. They could not take action on Luca."I barely grazed him. Mrs. Mallory, I’m nothing but a weak woman. How could I cause your son to lie in the hospital?" Luca raised her hand deliberately. Al
"I overheard their conversation. I don't think it's some drama among the rich and powerful. This woman is so unreasonable, right?""Yes, it's fortunate that the young woman dodged quickly. Otherwise, she’d be freezing in this cold weather."Madam Mallory saw that everyone was siding with Luca. She glared at them and warned, "Are you taking photos of me?! If you post them on the internet, a lawyer's letter will be coming your way!"When the crowd heard that, they put down their phones and pretended as though nothing happened. They continued to chat while drinking coffee.Madam Mallory left the cafe angrily. She watched as Luca stood on the side of the street with squinted eyes. It seemed that Luca would not spill if she did not put Luca in her place.‘Let’s see if she’ll still be such a prick when she falls into my hands!’Madam Mallory got into the car on the other side of the street and called her subordinates.The driver heard what she ordered her subordinates to do and quickl
"They're still following us." Luca reminded him."I know." Luke continued to step on the gas, turned a corner at the road ahead, and headed for a wider road.Luca initially thought that he wanted to get rid of the cars following them. However, after seeing what he did, she knew that he did not want to get away. Rather, he wanted them to stop their cars.The cars behind saw the Mercedes-Benz going onto a wider road and felt that their opportunity had come. They immediately overtook Luke’s car.Luca looked at the rearview mirror and noticed that the three cars behind them were desperately pressing on the accelerator, gradually getting closer to their car.“They’re about to go past us…”Luca muttered to herself and noticed that Luke was slowing down.He deliberately slowed down so that when those people overtook them, they would not hit their car because they were going too fast.Luca was impressed at how thoughtful Luke was while she watched the two cars pass the Mercedes-Benz an
Luke kept silent and just stared straight at her.Madam Mallory thought that it was because Luke was thinking about something. However, he did not speak even after a full minute.Madam Mallory thought that Luke was looking down on her. She was fuming that he did not seize the opportunity even when she gave him an out. She said to the driver with a stern expression, "Drive."The driver heard her and hurriedly started the car.Madam Mallory slammed the door and left.When the bodyguards blocking the road saw that, they got into their cars as well and left.Luca breathed a sigh of relief. Her nerves were tense, but it was not because she was afraid that Luke would betray her for the sake of maintaining the harmony between Crawford and Mallory families. She was just worried that Madam Mallory would try to force Luke.Madam Mallory’s men certainly would not be able to hurt Luke, but it was hard to say whether he would get hurt trying to protect her.After the Mallory family’s bodygu
Nina looked at him. She had something to say, but she hesitated.She wanted to ask him why. ‘Why is he asking me to leave the matter alone when it’s something that everyone would know is wrong without having to think twice? Could it be that there’s a secret behind all this?’Luke should never have betrayed Bianca, even if there was another reason behind it. Even if he no longer loved her, he should end the relationship with her righteously. However, Bianca was exiled abroad, while Luca was by his side.It was not that Nina thought that Luca was bad. She just thought that it was wrong for her to intervene in Luke and Bianca’s relationship.However, Percy told her to stay out of it...Percy held Nina in his arms seeing that she was staying silent. "There are many things that the fewer people know, the better. I promise that when the timing is right, I’ll tell you everything."Nina knew that there must be a plan in motion, so she did not continue to pursue the matter. However, s
