That was why Pierre was unable to find someone to take up the responsibility in such a short time. Money could solve his problem, but the scapegoat would have to face imprisonment. He reckoned that it would be hard to find someone to take the blame no matter how much money he offered. “I don’t have much patience left to deal with this matter. Old Master Crawford went to the Mallory family’s manor to make a clear statement that he would bring this matter to the police station and the court. So, Mr. Pierre, you’d better hurry.” Luke urged him with a cold voice, “I can ask my men to look into it if you can’t figure it out.” Pierre’s face turned pale. It seemed like Luke was asking Pierre to get a move on the matter, but the truth was, Luke was dropping a hint about Pierre’s incompetence. “Don’t worry. I’ll find that person and give you an explanation.” Percy clenched his jaw and replied. If Pierre was allowed to do so, he would have ripped the arrogant and condescending man in fro
“There’s no need to. It’s a good place to receive guests like Pierre,” replied Luke as he walked out of the lounge.Jason rubbed his nose and took a deep breath. Why would he think that Boss sounded devilish? It seemed like there was some progress between him and Luca. That was why he was in a good mood.Jason hurried over and kept up with Luke’s pace as he left. Pierre climbed into the car after he left T Corporation. He asked the chauffeur to start the car immediately. He would be tempted to blow the crap out of this place if he remained here for another second. The chauffeur looked at how furious Pierre was and reminded him in a low voice, “But Old Master Mallory’s assistant hasn’t come out yet.”“Drive the car if I instructed you to do so. What’s the matter? Are you my chauffeur or his chauffeur?” Pierre was very unhappy with the assistant. He had asked him to endure everything, which made Luke step all over him! “You’re my boss,” replied the chauffeur. He immediately st
“There’s no way she can prove her identity. And Ivana sounds like a Russian name,” the woman reminded the man.Luca shot a glance at the man and turned to look at the woman, then she said, “You have the face of someone from A City too. Could it be that you’re using a name from A City too?”“How could that be? We all use titles.” The woman thought Luca was suspicious. Although she got the name correct, there were a few questionable points that aroused her suspicion. The main problem was that Luca did not have the tattoo of the Island of Despair on her."Fine. I shall leave since no one believes in me," said Luca.There was no way Luca could prove her identity other than showing the message on her phone. She did not even bring the weapon she got from the Island of Despair along with her as she had gone to work earlier.A knife was held to Luca’s neck in a blink of an eye. “You can’t leave.” Luca slightly cast her eyes down and saw the blade that was against her neck. Her skin wo
Luca listened to the man’s words and frowned. “Do you think I’m deliberately making things difficult for the two of you?” “You shouldn’t blame us for what happened just now. We didn’t know there were people without tattoos on the Island of Despair… Besides, there’s no way you can prove your true identity, right?” The woman hoped that Luca could have mercy on them and stop putting them on the spot.Luca crossed her arms and said in a cold voice, “I’m not a sensitive person. And I know the two of you are just being extra careful in order to survive. Everyone here is trying to stay alive. Why should I make things difficult for you? You can bring these herbs and wild grasses back to the Island of Despair if you refuse to believe what I said. Whatever Dr. Shanks says upon receiving the herbs will have nothing to do with me.” The man and the woman exchanged glances with each other. They began to believe that Luca was not deliberately putting them on the spot. It seemed that they had bee
Luke, who was on the other end of the line, remained silent for a few seconds. He knew Luca was only looking for an excuse. Whatever she was doing now must have something to do with the Island of Despair. Luke did not ask anyone to track her down because Rain and Gale were busy with their work. He could not trust the others. Luke felt a little annoyed for not being able to ask someone to follow Luca after knowing that Luca was doing something the Island of Despair had instructed her to. Then, he asked, “What happened to Amur?”“Nothing. He’s recuperating his health lately and needs some herbs. It’s a little difficult to find them. Someone called me and I went to take a look,” said Luca. She looked down and thought that she used to be bad at lying to Luke, but she was getting better at it now.“Have you bought them?” Luke asked caringly. “No. The herbs were fake. I’ll continue to look for them,” replied Luca. She looked up and looked at the scenery outside the window. There wa
Luca thought that if she helped Tommy to check his homework, then Luke could sign on the last page of the workbook after he came back.That could relieve his burden just a little. Tommy took candy out of his pocket as he watched Luca help him check his homework. He said, "Ms. Luca, this is for you." Luca looked at the chocolate candy and stroked Tommy’s head. “No, thank you. You can keep it for yourself. But don’t forget you can only eat this after dinner.”“Lizzie gave this to me. She told me that yummy candies should be given to our favorite people. So, I’m giving this candy to you, Ms. Luca.” Tommy insisted on stuffing the candy into Luca’s hands. Even though Tommy loved eating chocolate candy, he insisted on giving it to Luca.Luca smiled and asked after listening to Tommy, “Who’s Lizzie?” “She’s my classmate. Her nickname is Lizzie,” answered Tommy. “I see. It seems like you’re popular among your friends at school.” Luca looked at the chocolate candy in her hands. Her
A better doctor… They must be talking about Luca, right?Luke understood at once after summing up everything the old master had told them. He turned to look at Luca.The moment Lanie mentioned finding a better doctor for Old Master Crawford, Luca could feel their gazes fall on her. She lifted her head and looked at them.Tommy added, "Daddy, Ms. Luca has good clinical skills. She was the one who noticed that there was a medicinal ingredient added to Great-grandpa's stew the last time. Why don't we ask Ms. Luca to do a check-up on Great-grandpa?""You mean to take his pulse.” Lanie turned to look at Luca after he corrected Tommy. "Ms. Luca, Great-grandpa hates seeing doctors and the equipment in the hospital. Why don't you take Great-grandpa's pulse?"Luca looked at the three of them, then she glanced at Luke.They had already made themselves clear. How could she decline them?She could not…Besides, Old Master Crawford was kind to her. If he was really feeling uncomfortable,
Luca took the dress from Rainie, turned to face the dressing mirror, and compared the dress to Rainie's body.“It fits perfectly.” Luca was satisfied. She was worried that the dress would not suit the child’s height when she was buying the dress for her.The children were growing up fast. The clothes that they could put on not long ago might not be able to fit them well after just a short period.Rainie snuggled up to Luca and gave her a sweet smile, “Ms. Luca, can I wear this to school tomorrow?”“Sure. Let me wash it for you later, then I’ll dry it with the dryer. You can wear it to school tomorrow,” said Luca. She took a pair of scissors out of the drawer and cut the tag off the dress.Luca was glad that Rainie liked it. She planned to put the dress into the washing machine later. “Thank you, Ms. Luca.” Rainie planted a kiss on Luca’s cheek and left with a smile on her face. Luca did not expect Rainie to do such a thing. She was startled for a moment, then she smiled at her
