Mr. Zac’s words caused the employees who were waiting there to stand up and greet Luke.Luca listened to their greetings as she noticed that their gazes fell upon both of them.Their gazes made her feel like she was being exhibited in a zoo for the public to see, and that made her uncomfortable.If she were still Bianca and she appeared somewhere with Luke, people would still be looking at her like this. However, at the time, she was his legally wedded wife. No matter how many stares she got, it was not like the stares she got right now.They used their curiosity to mask their inner contempt for her.Luca lowered her gaze and followed Jason into the room.Mr. Zac hastily moved one of the chairs out of the way.Jason pushed Luke to the empty seat. When he saw that there were two empty seats left, he glanced at Luca.Luca nodded. It did not matter which seat she chose because she would have to sit next to Luke anyway. The two of them were entangled like cobwebs. No matter how h
When Gale got Luke's message, he immediately drove to keep up with Vivian and Luca.He followed the car in front of him until they reached the largest shopping mall in the area, where the car stopped.Gale slowly pulled to the side of the road.Vivian glanced out the window and confirmed that they had arrived at the right place. She smiled and said to Luca, "We’re here. Let's get out of the car.""Okay." Luca nodded and opened the car door at the same time that Vivian did.The two got out of the car. Gale was sitting in the car and saw Luca. He said to the man in the front passenger seat, "Follow Ms. Craw. If you lose her, the boss will be fuming and you’ll only have yourself to blame.""Got it." The man did not dare to relax. When he saw Vivian and Luca walking into the mall, he immediately opened the car door and got out.It was a Sunday in Russia. Although the shopping mall was high-end and the prices inside were exorbitant, there was still an endless stream of people visitin
Vivian eagerly took her upstairs seeing that Luca agreed.After they walked into the cafe, Vivian said to the waitress, "Hello, can we get a private room?"The waitress recognized Vivian. She flashed a kind but helpless smile. "Miss Vivian, I'm sorry, but there are already guests in the private room. They ordered a fair number of things too. I doubt that the private room will be available any time soon. Are you okay with a semi-private room?""We’re fine with that." Vivian did not put her on the spot.The waitress took them to the semi-private room in the corner.Luca sat opposite Vivian."What about these gentlemen..." The waitress looked at the bodyguards who followed Vivian. She was not surprised as she had brought bodyguards when she visited before.Vivian looked at the bodyguards who were helping them carry their shopping bags and pointed to the table next to her. "They can sit at that table."When they heard that, the bodyguards sat down at the table next to them.Luca l
Pierre saw her and thought of what Luke looked like on the day of the bid.His fists clenched tightly."Luca, it's only because of Luke that you dare to talk to me so wantonly. How dare you talk to me like this now that he's not around and we’re still in Russia?"He was so proud that day. He held a grudge for being stepped on the ground by Luke and Luca. His heart would only feel more comfortable if he could get rid of this woman.Vivian could understand some of the words he said. Considering the tone of the other party, she knew that he was here to find fault. She hurriedly drove him away. "Sir, please leave. Don't disturb us from enjoying our coffee."Pierre raised his eyebrows and squinted at her. "No wonder you’re so righteous. You have someone to stand up for you. Nevertheless, your helper is a bit ugly. She may have scared me if it was at night, but it’s daytime now."Vivian listened to his personal attack and got ready to stand up for herself. However, when she saw Luca sh
Luca made the gesture that she did just now. "Do you mean this?""Yes!" Vivian nodded. She was curious. When Luca did this action, Pierre could not hold back his fear."I did this to him the last time and he had to stay in the hospital for about a week. His entire body was in pain, but the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him." Luca took a sip of coffee. She thought that Pierre must have something planned since he did not get the project but still chose to stay here.Maybe she should remind Luke to be on guard against Pierre.‘It's just that… He’s already doubting me. Will he still believe what I say?’Vivian's eyes widened, and she did the same gesture with her hands. "It's that amazing? You can send someone to the hospital just like that?"Luca shook her head, stood up slightly, pointed to a spot on her abdomen, and said, "Do that in this area. As long as you use about 50% of force, you can make anyone feel unbearable pain and beg to be sent to the hospital.""Is it t
Luke chuckled at how insistent she was. "Being stubborn is indeed one of your strong points. Luca, if you're caught and controlled by my business enemies, I'm not worried at all that they’ll find out about my secrets.""Huh?" Luca asked subconsciously."You're stubborn. I know that you won't say anything no matter what they do to you," Luke said.Of course, he just said this for the sake of it.He would never put Luca in a dangerous situation again.Luca lowered her gaze helplessly. She thought that he was being sarcastic. ‘How could that be possible. I just betrayed you…’"Mr. Crawford, you can't be so absolute with your beliefs." Her voice trembled slightly."I believe in you." Luke's voice was sonorous and powerful. His words touched her.Luca felt that she was about to lose her hold. The wall that was built brick by brick suddenly collapsed. She lowered her head and said, "Mr. Crawford, I'll return to my room to put down these things.""Mm, let's go to the restaurant to ea
"There are two boxes on the upper left cabinet. I just made them two days ago. You should smoke less. Although the cigars have been extracted, they’re still not good for your health if you smoke too much." Shanks' tone was cold as he shook the liquid in the test tube nonchalantly.When he heard that, Abel stood up and opened the cabinet, where he saw two ready-made boxes of cigars. The corners of his mouth turned into a smile in satisfaction.Since Kassy passed away, his only pleasures in life were money, cigars, and alcohol.He got two of the three, so he was very satisfied."If I can't smoke as much as I like, then it's better to just let me die. I'll transfer the money to you later." Abel took out a cigar and lit it.The cigars were made by Shanks, so he had to pay him.Shanks knew that it was pointless trying to change Abel’s mind, so he just agreed with it for the sake of it.After all, Abel, both before and then, was not someone who could be persuaded.Abel sighed. "I mad
Eler was envious of how Shanks pampered Nyla.On the Island of Despair, except for Nyla, only the seriously injured could get Shanks' attention.Eler snapped out of it as these should not be her desires. All she needed to focus on was taking care of Nyla and protecting her.She walked over, lowered her head, and dared not look at Shanks as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shanks. I didn't keep a close eye on Kathryn."Shanks looked at her. His gaze was cold and without a trace of warmth. "You didn’t take good care of her. Do you know how dangerous it is to let her run around in the corridor?"Those on the Island of Despair were not good people. It was easy for Nyla to bump into and irk these people if she walked around like that.He could help her this time but not all the time.If he left the island and Nyla bumped into someone, he doubted that Eler could protect her.Eler's heart shuddered. Every time Shanks talked to her that much, he would be blaming her for not taking good care o
