Chapter 2246 Pay For What She Did

Author: Heap Heap
“Let me ask you something. Did Luca come up with that idea?” Jack asked.

“Not entirely. I was the one who suggested looking for Dexter.” Luke looked at Jack to see that he had aged a lot because of all the worrying about political affairs and family feuds.

Although his heroic bearing was still apparent, Luke could feel that the person in front of him was getting on in years.

“Then, how sure are you of finding Dexter?” Jack asked again.

“It’s hard to say because Dexter disappeared without a trace ever since that incident, I can have people look for him right now, but I can’t say how sure I am of finding him. However, I do need you to help me confirm something.” Luke folded his arms together.

Dexter was just one of the chess pieces that tripped Leia up. When the chess piece became useless, he never bothered batting an eye at him.

“What is it?” Jack asked.

“I want to know if there’s any news of Dexter’s passing in the records,” said Luke as there must be someone who would have call

    Mandy frowned. Did Johann not see it yet? Why else would he not accept her friend request?While she was wondering, she opened her profile.Her photos and posts displayed her beauty and elegance, so all Johann had to do was click on her profile to see them.Mandy was not willing to give up, so she took a mirror selfie and posted it after photoshopping. She said how tired she was from work as the caption.Before she could enjoy all the likes and comments, Matysh’s impatient voice could be heard from the outside. “What are you doing in there? What’s taking you so long to fix your makeup?”“I’m almost done.” Mandy took out her setting powder and used it to touch up the oily spots on her face before applying more lipstick.Finally, she walked out of the bathroom and sat next to Matysh.“Mr. Matysh, let’s have a drink.” Mandy lifted the glass of wine to clink glasses with him.Matysh looked at Luca’s photo and tilted his head back to finish his wine in one go.“You’re really good a

    Rainie's words left Luke speechless."Who taught you to say that?" Luke’s mood darkened as he took Rainie's hand.‘If I could say such sweet words to Luca, why wouldn’t I?’If he did, he was afraid that he would scare Luca off. It would not be worth the loss if she opted to retreat and escape...Moreover, he did not like to use his words to show his affection. He believed that his actions spoke louder than words. However, the situation that Luca was in did not allow him to act so recklessly. After all, she still had some scruples holding her back.Luke did not act as he did before considering that she could not reveal her identity. Plus, there was still someone who was manipulating her behind the scenes."No… No one taught me to say that. I just think that what Aunt Nina said made sense..." Rainie shrank her neck and could not help but wonder. She overheard the adults speak, so she thought that that was how things should be. That was why she repeated it to Luke."This does not

    In the hospital.Leia took a bite of the breakfast that the caretaker bought and thought it tasted terrible. She could not help but lose her temper. "What did you buy for me? Why is it so unpalatable? Didn't my family pay? Did you steal the money?"The caretaker quickly shook her head. Her face was pale as she said, "I didn’t! Ms. Norman, I wouldn't dare to steal your money...""Why are these things so unpalatable? Explain yourself!" Leia was upset. Her face was sallow, and she squinted her eyes to look at the caretaker in front of her."The Osborne isn't open today. I had no choice, so I bought your breakfast from the restaurant downstairs..." The caretaker explained. Leia was a picky eater. Even though she was sick, had no appetite, and could not eat much, she still insisted on eating the best and most expensive food around.Fortunately, there was a famous breakfast place near the hospital, The Osborne. As such, the caretaker would have to leave the ward half an hour earlier eve

    The medicine under her tongue was quickly melted by saliva, and Leia was finally able to speak. She spoke with hatred, "He wanted to sell me and ruin my reputation! How can I not be angry at him?!"Queenie quickly reassured her when she saw that Leia was getting agitated once more. "Okay, that’s in the past. If we can find him and he’s willing to help, please give him a chance to make it up to you."Leia thought of what had happened back then. If Dexter had not disappeared into thin air, she certainly would not have ended things like that. "He disappeared so many years ago. How are you planning to find him? Maybe he already died at some random overpass."Queenie frowned. ‘Her hatred is too deep…’"Leia, Luke agreed to help us find him. Don't get angry now. It's more important that you take good care of yourself and wait for our good news, okay?""Wait for Luke? How would he be so kind as to help me find Dexter? Also, if Dexter agrees to give me his liver, he’ll definitely ask for

    "Eat your croissant. Why are you talking so much?" Leia stared at her. She was not sure what to think.She did desperately need some money, but she was weak and defenseless. Leia knew that she could not afford to piss off Luke. Queenie paid a lot of attention to her since she got sick and might be angry if she made a move on Luca, her so-called savior. Even if she recovered, the Normans might not accept her. She had no money and no home. She would not know where to go if that happened..."I’ve never thought of you as someone hesitant," Mandy said. Leia lived an awe-inspiring life when she was abroad.Although she did not have much money, she was courageous, so she still led a pretty decent life."I didn't expect you to be so happy to be someone else's substitute." Leia mocked her.Mandy was arrogant. She would never allow her prey to make use of her as a substitute."Ugh, it's just a work relationship. I'm not stupid enough to want to get on his bed.

    T Corporation.Jason took Gale to the entrance of Luke's office and said, "Bro, the boss is waiting for you inside.""Thanks. I'll head in to update Boss on what I found." Gale knocked on the door after he thanked Jason."Come in." Luke's voice sounded from the other side of the door.Gale pushed the door and walked in. After he closed the door, he sat directly across from Luke. "Boss, we found something.""Tell me," Luke said.Gale handed him a stack of papers. "This is everything I could find on Mandy Sanders. She and Leia met when they were in the United States. They were no longer in contact after Leia secretly returned to A City. Mandy only came to A City after she accepted Matysh's job. She reconnected with Leia and has visited Leia in the hospital for three consecutive days.""Three days?" Luke casually flipped through Mandy's profile. She was just an ordinary woman. He would not pay much attention to her in normal circumstances.He only asked Gale to investigate her whe

    Johann said with a smile, "Don't worry, he's not a bad guy. He won't do anything to Ms. Norman. You can head off now."The nurse looked at how stern Luke seemed and could not help but shiver. She thought he looked as though he was here to collect debts. "Are you sure it’s okay for me to leave?""Don’t worry about it. I'll be here. You can get out," Johann said and shook his head helplessly.Luke's expressionless face was indeed scary. He turned around and looked at Leia's vitals on the monitor. There was no issue except for her slightly fastened heartbeat.The nurse thought that Luke was scary, but considering that Johann was here, she quickly walked out after weighing it over and over again.Leia felt deep despair in her heart. "Come back soon."The nurse pretended not to hear Leia and walked out the door.The injection to stabilize Leia’s blood pressure was not in line with the hospital's standard procedure. As such, Johann reminded Luke. "If you want to ask, go for it. Don't

    At night.Luke had nothing planned for the day, so he returned to the villa after he left the office.As soon as he walked into the house, the children surrounded him and handed him their homework. "Daddy, we’ve finished our homework."Luke took their workbooks. He did not see Luca in the living room, so he asked the kids, "Where's Ms. Luca?"Rainie replied obediently, "Ms. Luca is in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aunt Neile asked for some time off and just left, so Ms. Luca is busy cooking alone. Daddy, after you’re done checking our homework, go and help Ms. Luca."Luke put their workbooks down. "I'll go take a look."He walked into the kitchen and saw Luca in an apron preparing dinner for the family. It reminded him of how she was always in the kitchen preparing dinner for him and the children three years ago.At that time, Luca would never let the maid cook since the children liked to eat the meals she prepared. At most, she would let the maid become her helper. "Stop it,"

    “That bag…” Nina pointed at the bag. “Your mom brought it over.”Percy walked over, picked up the bag, and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his brows immediately furrowed.“What’s all this?” asked Nina.Percy handed her the bag. “Just some stuff.”Curious about what it was, Nina took the bag and peeked inside. It was filled with car models and small toys.She suddenly remembered what Karen said earlier and asked hesitantly, “Are these your childhood toys?”“Yes.” Seeing these things again stirred something in Percy’s heart, but it still did not change his feelings toward Karen.Nina was surprised. She picked up a few of the items and said, “I didn’t expect these to be so well-preserved.”“I thought they would've been thrown out.” Percy still remembered these toys.Technically, they were his, but in reality, they ended up with Pierre. As the Mallory family’s heir, he was too busy to play with toys. Hence, they were his, but it never felt that way.Nina said, “Earlier, s

    After signing the agreement, Karen eagerly handed it over to the man she believed to be the lawyer.The moment the doctor took the shares transfer agreement, a syringe containing anesthesia slipped from his sleeve and was swiftly injected into Karen’s hand.“You...” Karen felt a sharp sting, but before she could speak, her consciousness faded.At the same time, the knife in her hand clattered to the floor.The doctor quickly steadied her to prevent her from hitting her head when she collapsed.“Luckily, the dose was strong enough, or she wouldn’t have been knocked out so quickly.” He gently laid her down, checked to make sure she was unconscious, and then hurried out of the office to notify the hospital director.Percy quickly stepped forward, gently lifting Nina’s chin to examine her wound.“I’m fine,” Nina said in a soft voice, lowering her head to hide the injury on her neck.“Let me take a look at you,” Percy insisted, gently lifting her chin again. After checking, he added

    “Mr. Mallory, won’t you feel guilty if something happens to Nina?” Sue did not understand why he refused to call the police.“It won’t happen.” Percy furrowed his brows as his mind raced to find a solution.Sue was even more confused. “Just because you say it won’t happen, does that mean it won’t? Yes, Madam Mallory is your mother, but Nina is also your wife. If your mother harms your wife, shouldn’t you call the police? Instead of doing that, you’re leaving her in this dangerous situation. I honestly feel sorry for Nina.”Sue had always been straightforward. She thought Percy would protect Nina for life, but seeing him defend Karen at the cost of his wife’s safety, she was deeply disappointed.She felt she was in no position to feel sorry for Nina, but she could not understand Percy’s actions.Percy furrowed his brows. Calling the police was not an option.The Mallory family could not afford this kind of turmoil.If Old Master Mallory found out that he handed his mother over to

    Nina trembled when she was touched. Her whole body was shaking.Karen’s touch was icy cold, and when her hand fell on Nina’s face, it carried a chill.“Don’t hurt her!” Percy’s voice was hoarse, his anger barely concealed in his eyes.He was furious but kept reminding himself not to provoke Karen.“Hmph, look at how nervous you are.” Karen's patience wore thin. Without another word, she laid out her conditions. “If you want me to let her go, fine.”“What do you want me to do?” Percy knew the conditions she was about to propose would not be as simple as keeping her out of the psychiatric hospital.It could involve Pierre.Perhaps even the company.Even though Karen had spoken to him about the high hopes she had for him, Percy did not believe a word of it. To her, from beginning to end, the only person who mattered was Pierre.Percy was merely a tool to secure her position in the Mallory family.“See? You still care about this woman. You’ve disappointed me!” Karen glanced at Ni

    “Mr. Mallory, I didn’t dare to go in. Nina and your mother are still inside.” After Sue realized that Nina might be in danger, she had been waiting outside, unwilling to leave.She had been planning to rush in with the other employees if she heard Nina scream.Percy's expression darkened. He did not blame Sue for the situation, so he did not say anything. Instead, he quickly walked to Nina’s office door and pushed it open.The sight before him sent a chill through his veins, as though his blood had turned to ice.“You're here?” Karen fixed her eerie gaze on the person who had opened the door. A strange, sinister smile curved at the corners of her lips. She stood behind Nina with a knife tightly gripped in her hand.The sharp blade was pressed against Nina’s neck, already leaving a faint red mark.Sue gasped at the sight and instantly lost her composure.Karen frowned in dissatisfaction, moving the knife slightly and muttering, “Why is there another woman here? Tell her to leave!

After an evaluation, the doctors determined her condition warranted hospitalization, so she was admitted.Even though Karen was against it, given her mental state and with the consent of an immediate family member, the hospital was legally authorized to proceed.Percy had even informed the hospital to take special care of Karen. He had explicitly instructed them not to

    When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside had already darkened slightly.Luca mumbled, feeling the warmth beside her. She instinctively curled closer. “What time is it?”“It's a little past five.” Luke gently rubbed her back, offering a quiet comfort to help her feel at ease.Since he could not be there beside her, he could only make these small gestures to bring her some peace of mind.“An entire afternoon just passed like that…” Luca was reluctant to leave at the moment. Her slender fingers lightly pressed against his chest.Luke took her hand in his, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss, holding it as if it were something precious and tenderly stroking it.Luca's hands had once been delicate and smooth, but during their time in the small villa, they had become much rougher.“You've got calluses.” Luke felt sorry for her.Luca gently traced her finger over his lips, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on him. “It’s just from the needlework and the experiments I’ve been d

    Luca walked over to another couch and sat down. “I think I’ll stay here. How about letting Luke come down so that we can all catch up? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”Gordan’s face fell. “Ms. Craw, are you doing this on purpose?”Luca pretended not to know anything. “Doing what on purpose?”Gordan quickly shook his head. “Nothing. Just go upstairs already. Brother Luke’s been waiting for you.”Luca had intended to tease Gordan a little longer, but after not seeing Luke for the past few days, she found herself missing him deeply. Standing up with a smile, she said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gale, could you help me pick up a few things? Someone over there asked me to get them, and I couldn’t refuse.”“Sure, no problem. What do you need?” Gale agreed immediately.After handing him the list, Luca turned and headed upstairs.Gale watched Luca leave from behind, nudging Gordan’s arm. “Let’s go.

    The security guard remained completely unfazed.This was because the village chief was his uncle, and in their tight-knit community, they always stuck together and never favored outsiders.With directions from the people inside the ancestral hall, Hera found the village chief.“You’re the village chief, right?” Hera looked at the man in his fifties in front of her and spoke with an arrogant tone, completely unbothered.“And you are?” The village chief, seeing her attitude, was puzzled. He had no idea whether she was an investor or someone looking to discuss a major partnership to bring development to their quiet village.“It doesn’t matter who I am. I see you have surveillance here, and I need to review your footage,” replied Hera.The village chief was even more confused. “Are you a police officer?”“No.” Hera frowned. She thought reviewing surveillance footage was no big deal. Why was this village chief being so difficult?The village chief gave her a look as if she were a fo
