Those criticisms did not affect her that much, but they would leave a huge impact on Percy. The Mallory family had not officially kicked Percy out. Hence, his reputation would still affect that of the Mallor family. Even though he had decided to leave the Mallory family, he would still need to preserve the reputation of the Mallory family as long as he was still one of them. Nina was understanding. Even though she was quite upset, she did not rely too much on Percy so that his attention would not be diverted from the serious matters on hand."Alright, then I’ll come up with the menu.” Luca noticed that Nina had a lot on her mind, hence she found it difficult to reply to her question. Luca held Nina’s hand and did not say another word."Okay." Nina nodded and held Luca's hand as well. It was such a simple gesture, yet it gave her immense strength and support.Luca was sincerely concerned about her. Nina recalled Percy's comment. As a friend, perhaps she should not keep dwelling o
"Kids don’t tell lies. They call you ‘Miss’, while they call me ‘Godmother’. Doesn’t that make me sound older?” Nina lamented, “It seems that I have to take better care of my appearance.” "Your skin looks much better compared to the last time I saw you.” Luca changed the topic."Really?" Nina could not help but feel thrilled. She wanted to touch her face, but when she realized that her hands were full of grease due to the minced meat, she abandoned that thought. “Lately, my quality of sleep has improved and I feel much more energetic.""Good sleep is the best way to protect your skin. It's actually quite a good way to go about it. You look much younger now. I think I should have the kids greet you as ‘Miss’ too!" Luca looked at Nina. Women loved to be praised, and Nina was no exception."Well, you got a point there, but forget it. We still have to follow hierarchy!” Nina was utterly delightful after being sweet-talked by Luca.Luca let out a breath of relief after seeing that Nin
After comforting Queenie's emotions, Jack then gave Luke a call.When the call was connected, Jack did not say any greetings but questioned immediately, "Luke, do you have time to spare right now?""I'm still working overtime, Jack. Is there something urgent?" Luke asked. He knew why Jack was giving him a call. Perhaps he could no longer keep Bianca’s matter a secret. Keeping it a secret from them was just a temporary measure and Luke had never planned on letting them remain in the dark for too long. If Jack was easily fooled, he would not have his current achievements."You're still working?" Jack's voice deepened, and he could not help but drag his tone. He knew very well about T Corporation’s latest project. "Then when will you be free? I plan to talk to you about Bianca.""I’ll head to your office and pay a visit to you tomorrow,” Luke said. Jack was caught by surprise. Not only did Luke not reject but he even agreed. He even made an appointment for the next day."Alrigh
Luca did not expect that Nina would make such a recommendation. Just when she was about to reject it, Luke spoke up.“That’s fine.” He agreed.Luca was astonished. ‘He? Washing dishes?’ She recalled that Luke was a man who could not even operate a microwave or any other electrical gadgets in the kitchen. It seemed like he was not too good in the kitchen.Nina also put on a shocked expression.‘The head of T Corporation and the heir of the Crawford family actually agreed to wash dishes?’The three kids looked at each other and smirked. They did not say anything. Instead, they ate even faster.They all wanted to watch their father wash dishes in the kitchen.After Luke agreed to it, Nina was at a loss for words and just kept quiet as she ate her meal.Luca’s cooking was delicious, but with Luke around, her attention was no longer on the food. She kept thinking about the scene of Luke washing dishes in the kitchen later. After dinner, Nina asked Luca softly, “Do you guys have a
Luca looked at her expression. It seemed like she was not telling a lie. She then pushed the door open and said, “Come on in.”Nina walked into her bedroom and looked at the simplistic design. She nodded her head and turned around to look at Luca. “To be honest, Luca, will I be a nuisance if I stay here for the night?”“Not at all. Luca opened the closet and took out a brand new pair of pajamas that she had never worn. “On the contrary, I’ll be reassured if you stay here. I’ve never worn this set of pajamas before. I’ll let you wear it for tonight, alright?”Nina accepted it and said with a smiling face, “Thanks. But I know that you have a lot on your plate. If not for Percy not being reassured, I would never have come here to bother you. You don’t have to accompany me tonight and just do whatever you need to do. You just need to leave half the bed to me.” “Alright, since you’ve said so, then I shall continue with my work,” said Luca. She sat on the chair in front of the dressing
Luke took out the DNA report and passed it to Jack.“This is the DNA report that was done without Bianca’s knowledge and the kids suspected her identity. The report states that she and the kids aren’t related.” Jack took the DNA report and flipped it open. He read the concluding statement on the DNA report. “The kids went ahead and did the DNA report?”“Yes. They asked for a driver from the Holston family to help with the signature,” said Luke.Jack smirked. “Those kids are really just like you. Alright, I believe that Bianca is an impostor. Then, what did you mean by the second half of what you said earlier?” “The real Bianca is back. She’s now in the country, and she’s very close to us. However, she seems to be on a mission, or perhaps she’s still under the control of that unknown organization. That’s why she changed her appearance, and her characteristics have undergone a drastic change as well. She’s still unwilling to reveal her true identity,” Luke said.Jack was listenin
"How is that too much? I haven't seen the love of my life all night. What's wrong with hugging and kissing her?" Percy noticed that Nina was embarrassed, so he hugged her even tighter.Adrian rolled his eyes and continued typing on the keyboard. He was copying the files to the memory drive.Nina listened to their conversation. They were relaxed as though they were not facing a crisis. She raised her head and looked at the man with watery eyes. "Percy, you said you needed my help with something. How can I help?"Percy kissed her cheek and replied, "You'll find out later.""Are you guys going to make out? Should I take my computer out and leave you both alone?” Although Adrian was looking at his computer, he was annoyed by their interactions."All you do is face the computer all day. The computer is your wife. Why are you being so sour?" Percy grabbed Nina’s hand, and they sat on the sofa. "Nina, let me introduce you to my friend, Adrian. He's a computer god.""Hello," Nina nodded
As they walked into the venue, Nina felt that all of the flashlights of the reporters’ cameras were directed at her.She was so nervous that her body could not help shaking. However, she straightened her back, followed Percy's footsteps, and arrived at the main seat. She then sat next to him at his signal.Since she had chosen to be with Percy, it was time for her to learn to face the camera.She put on her best demeanor so the reporters would not have the slightest chance to use her to attack Percy.Percy sat down, and the reporters in the audience were eager to ask questions.Percy raised his hand, indicating that it was not the time for them to ask questions. He was the host and main speaker since it was a last-minute press conference with no moderator."Hello, everyone. Good morning. Today's press conference is held because there’s something I want to clarify. I hope that after you hear my side of the story, you can report what I said truthfully and inform the general public,
