Luca stared at the gleam in Vivian's eyes. She knew Vivian was just reminiscing about the past to conceal her sorrows. Luca felt more deeply when she was able to understand how Vivian felt. She could not bear to leave Luke too, but she had to face the cruel reality. What could she do even if she was reluctant to leave him?“It would be enough as long as the memories are kept in our minds,” Luca said in a soft, gentle voice, comforting Vivian and herself. It was enough for Luca that she once used to live happily together with Luke.Vivian gazed at Luca. What Luca said was right, and there was no way she could refute it.“Luca…” Vivian could feel that the woman in front of her had been through a lot. Her sigh was filled with true feelings. However, she was almost the same age as her …"Saying goodbye to someone means a new beginning in your life. Be happy." Luca added as she looked at the huge screen and the high-end sound system. Luca knew it would be great to watch a mov
However, would Luca want to return to the hotel?The person who was manipulating Luca behind her would have heard about the news that T Corporation had gotten the project successfully. That person would still go after T Corporation and him. Therefore, they should have something up his sleeve. Luke thought that Luca would still be the one to implement that person’s next move. That was why Luca was not allowed to be out of his sight. Ray noticed that Luke's gaze was on Luca. He turned to look at her and said, "It's dangerous to drive in a snowstorm. No subway route can bring you back to the hotel either. Why don't you spend the night here?" Luca put down her cutleries, lifted her head, and noticed that Luke and the others were looking at her. They were waiting for her reply…“Mr. Crawford, I’ll leave the decision up to you,” Luca said in a soft voice, telling them that she was fine with the arrangement.Luke nodded. It seemed like Luca had not received any orders. Luke turned
Luca had never given up the thought of saving her daughter all along.However, it was only now that she realized that there was no way she could do this alone. She could not depend on her strength. There was no way she could fight against Abel alone. Every word and every move she made was made known to Abel. Luca needed support from others so that she could fight him. However, who could support her? Luca knew she could only do this alone. There was no one else…Knock, knock. someone was knocking on the door. Luca lifted her head in grievance and suppressed the urge to cry. Only then did she ask, "Who is it?"“Luca, it’s me, Vivian.” Vivian’s voice came from outside the door.Luca sniffed and walked to the door. She opened the door and said, “Vivian, what’s the matter?”Vivian was carrying a set of clothes in her hands. She gave Luca a shy smile and explained, “I thought you might need these, so I came to give them to you. They’re all new. Don’t worry.” Luca took the clothe
“Just tell me if you need anything,” said Luke. He thought that the reason why Vivian chose the Capital was mostly because of Gordan.Although she had made up her mind to leave Gordan, she still missed him in her heart.“Alright. I’ll not hesitate to ask for help if I need it.” Ray nodded. Vivian was the one who could decide where she would be going. He could not interfere.Ray had friends all around the world, after all. Even if Vivian wanted to travel to some state in Africa, he would still be able to make arrangements for her.However, he did not encourage Vivian to head to countries that were lagging behind other countries as she would suffer there. That was why Ray agreed right away when Vivian chose to head to Luke's country, and he had already begun to make arrangements.Ray glanced at the time. It was late. Luke was his guest, so he should not be taking up his time to chat with him. Hence, Ray said, “It’s late. Let me ask the maid to bring you back to your room.”“Sure.”
"Brother Luke, it'd be better for you to stay here." Vivian stopped Luke immediately. It made no sense to ask a guest to help catch an intruder. "Trust Ray. He can handle this well. Besides, the villa is more than a hundred years old. The person who broke in will get lost easily even if he has the map. And your leg is still injured. We should stay here."Luca went along with Vivian’s words and said, "Mr. Crawford, I think we shouldn't cause any trouble for Mr. Ray."Luke slightly frowned. Although the current situation did not look too good, Luke could feel Luca’s love for him.She was concerned about him…Luke stared at Luca for a while. It was indeed inconvenient for him to go look for Ray now. He could only come up with a few ideas for Ray, but he could not be of much help.Ray would still have to ask someone to protect him if something happened.His staying here would not cause any trouble for Ray, and he could also make sure that Luca was within his sight…Luke decided at o
The bodyguard pushed the door open.Ray walked in front, heading into the cellar. Then, the bodyguard pushed Luke’s wheelchair and walked in as well.The cellar was not as dark as he had imagined. It was brightly lit, and he could see everything clearly.A man was chained to a steel bar that was as thick as an adult human.The clothes on the upper half of the man’s body had been taken off. There were fresh bruises on his body. Just by looking at them, it was obvious that it was Ray’s men who beat him up after they found him.“This is the man who secretly broke into my house.”The man lifted his head and glanced at Ray when he was talking. The expression on his face was evil-looking. Then, he lowered his head. Not a word of pleading escaped his mouth. Even though he was being held as a prisoner now, he was still arrogant. Luke looked at the man in front of him. He had blonde hair with a Western appearance. Even though he had been captured, his expression was still prideful.
”At this crucial moment!” Ray frowned as he could no longer keep himself calm.The man Ray caught was probably drugged and was like a time bomb. If the man was unable to accomplish the mission or return, the drug would probably attack his body. It would be difficult to interrogate the man by then.“Are there no pharmacists left?” Luke asked. “There were two of them. But they followed Winson there.” Ray grabbed his hair. He had no idea whether the man locked in the cellar had swallowed any pills or not.“I know someone who can help—Luca,” said Luke. “She can prepare the potion according to the formula as long as the materials are prepared.” “Yes. We still have Dr. Craw.” Ray clapped his hands and said to the bodyguard, “Head to the living room and ask for Dr. Craw’s help. Just say I’m the one who needs her help. I’ll send the formula to Vivian. She’ll know what to do.” “Alright, Boss.” The bodyguard left immediately. Then, Luke added, “Before the potion is made, you can che
“Yes, Boss.” The bodyguard took the potion from Ray and entered the cellar. Vivian looked at them with confusion. The bodyguard had entered the cellar, but they did not intend to go in. She thought of following them into the cellar to see what was going on. She asked, “Ray, why are you standing here?”“Nothing.” Ray shook his head. Vivian replied when she saw this, “I’d like to go in.”Ray stopped her and said, “No, you can’t.”Vivian frowned and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”“He’s naked now. What are you going to do there?” said Ray. He had no intention of seeing that man’s naked body, not to mention letting Vivian be exposed to that sight.“I didn’t know…” Vivian paused when she heard that. There was an awkward expression on her face. Ten minutes later, Hansen walked out of the cellar. He could barely hide the excited expression on his square-jawed face. He even forgot to put down the towel in his hand. “Boss, there is one.”“Make it clear.” Ray felt in his bones that th
