Chapter 2718 For The Money, Not His Life

Penulis: Heap Heap
”Got it.” Percy understood what he meant.

It was already midnight by the time they finished their drinking session.

After drinking, the three had their respective drivers drive them home instead of driving themselves.

Luke sat in the backseat while looking at the bright lights of A City. Even though it was already midnight, the streets were still lively as if the nightlife was never-ending.

“Boss, do you need me to turn up the heater?” Lliam asked faintly as he looked at Luke through the rearview mirror, who was silent the entire time.

“No need.” Luke withdrew his gaze and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed. He drank a little too much today, so he was feeling a little tipsy.

He drank this much not because of Pierre but Luca…

The woman he loved most.

Luke wished that he could just get rid of the Island of Despair for good, but he could not do it yet for the sake of Luca’s health.

How long would he have to wait before Luca developed the antidote and escaped the clutch

    “You’re right.” He agreed and buried his jaw in her neck.A wave of ticklish heat washed over Luca, causing her to feel even hotter. "If they’re after the money, is the Mallory family able to pay the demanded amount for Pierre?" she asked.Pierre had become a disgrace to the Mallory family now. He had caused so much trouble that if it were not for Madam Mallory, no one would be willing to clean up his mess.Even Old Master Mallory’s heart had grown cold toward him.Would Old Master Mallory really give the money to Pierre if Abel asked the Mallory family for the ransom?"Pierre can’t get into any trouble now," said Luke. Even if Old Master Mallory refused to give the money, he would not just sit there and watch Pierre suffer at the hands of his kidnappers.However, Pierre must be going through a lot of pain at the moment....On the other hand. Pierre was still tied to a chair with a dirty, smelly piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth. His right leg was fastened to two pieces

    "He values his life too much to commit suicide," replied Alexsia as he glanced at the man lying on the bed.Pierre believed he still had a chance to escape. That was why he would never take his own life.Kazimir nodded and glanced at Pierre, who looked half-dead. He felt disgusted and asked, "Did you give him a shot?""Yes. I used the medicine given by the organization. The man who developed the medicine guarantees that he won’t die even if he takes it." Alexsia smiled as he patted his companion's shoulder. Then, he added, "Keep an eye on him. I'm leaving to have a cigarette.""Okay." Kazimir nodded. Then, he pulled a chair and sat down."Oh, by the way, he might try to bribe you to help him escape. Don't lose your patience. I’m afraid that you might kill him," Alexsia reminded him."Don't worry. He's our boss' fortune charm. I won’t dare to do such a thing." Kazimir chuckled. He was amused by Pierre’s naivety. It seemed like Pierre had no idea what kind of organization the Is

    Alexsia ignored what he said while he secretly mumbled to himself that this was why Kazamir hated those naive, rich kids.…On the other hand.Luca had been busy with work at Watsons Biopharmaceuticals all day. She was asked to take a leave after she received a phone call from Luke. Confusion was written all over her face when she got into Warren’s car and arrived at the mall."Did Mr. Crawford tell you to drop me off here?" asked Luca."Yes, Ms. Craw," answered Warren, noticing how bewildered she was. "Have you forgotten that the party will be held tonight?"Luca glanced at her phone and realized that today was Friday…“I totally forgot about it…” She had forgotten about the dinner amidst a string of responsibilities she had to juggle for the past few days."Boss has already made an appointment with the fashion house on the tenth floor for you," said Warren.Luke already expected that Luca would forget about it and made arrangements for her.Luca would be the center of att

    "Okay." Luca rose to her feet and followed the stylist to the fitting room. Hundreds of gowns were displayed on the racks. There was a dazzling array of choices."Ms. Craw, since it's the company's dinner, I shall pick something simple and elegant for you. I’ll go with something that matches your makeup and hairstyle and isn't too showy," suggested the stylist. She walked to the end of the rows of gowns and asked for Luca’s opinion.The last row of gowns was the most exclusive gowns displayed. The stylist picked a few simple, short dresses and tried matching them with Luca's body figure. "I think these will look great on you. Ms. Craw, what do you think?""I'll take this." Luca pointed at a black-colored short dress. It had clean cuts, and it was perfect for the event tonight. It would not make Luca look overdressed."You have good taste. I’ll let my assistant help you get changed." The stylist smiled and handed the dress to her assistant. Luca shook her head and replied, "It

    "It's on the fifth floor,” replied Rhett as he pressed the button heading toward the fifth floor.Luca nodded and watched the number that gradually went up as the elevator rose.Rhett asked, “Dr. Craw, have you reviewed the report yet?”“I did. But I think something’s missing. I’d like to request more funds for this project. We have to hold a meeting next Monday,” answered Luca. She did not intend to discuss work with Rhett now. However, she decided to go along with it since he brought it up.“Sure.” Rhett nodded. Mo Stone was more familiar with the paperwork. He knew it would be much easier for Luca with him and Mo Stone helping her.Ding. The elevator door slowly opened when it arrived on the fifth floor. Luca stepped out of the elevator, and Rhett led her to the left. “Gabriella Hall.”“Alright.” Luca followed Rhett into the banquet hall.Many employees were already seated.Someone noticed Luca's arrival and said, “Dr. Craw is here.” It caught everyone's attention, and t

    Dr. Linwood paused before realizing what he had just said, and immediately tried to explain himself, “Dr. Craw, you had more chances of interacting with Mr. Crawford when you were working at T Corporation, so I thought you would know.”Luca forced a smile by lifting the corners of her mouth.She did have more chances to interact with Luke, but she did not ask whether he was coming today.He would come, right?It was Watson Biopharmaceutical’s big day after all. As the boss, it was only right that he attended.“I don’t know,” said Luca.“Hehehe.” Dr. Linwood smiled to ease the tension, but in reality, the professors there all thought that Luca and Luke were having an affair.“By the way, I remember that Mr. Crawford has mentioned that whoever’s research enters the final stage will move to T Corporation’s office. I wonder if that’s still true?” A research professor quickly changed the subject.“I don’t know. Working at T Corporation is great, but who would want to leave under the

    Luke originally wanted the stylist to give her a more glamorous look, but after listening to her opinion, he went with her idea.She looked pretty even with a simple look.Luca felt his eyes on her, and she started breathing faster.“Mr. Crawford, the ceremony is about to begin,” Luca reminded softly. If they stayed in here any longer, people would start to misunderstand.Mo knew that she was inside.With a guy and a girl were alone in a lounge, it would be hard for other people to not overthink.“What did you just call me?” Luke narrowed his eyes to show dissatisfaction. Was she using this alienating title on purpose to keep her distance from him?“This is a public setting, and the people from Watson Biopharmaceuticals are inside.” Luca knew that calling him that would upset him, so she had to explain.“Uh-huh.” Luke was still unhappy.What did those people have to do with him?She was his beloved wife.“Luke…” Seeing his expression, Luca had no choice but to compromise and

    Luca heard that and turned to look at the stage. Indeed, under Mo Stone’s arrangement, the employees of the PR department walked toward the stage with the microphone in their hands.They held the scripts and started giving speeches.As Luca listened to their speeches, she suddenly asked Luke, "Mr. Crawford, will you be delivering a speech?""I don't have to," replied Luke. There was a section arranged for him to give a speech, but he had it canceled. After all, Luca was the brightest star of the show tonight."I don't want to give a speech either," replied Luca as she expressed her thoughts.She hoped that Luke could cancel it.Dr. Linwood, who sat beside them, could not help but secretly guess that something was going on between Luca and Luke. Otherwise, how would Luca dare to say something like that?"Alright," replied Luke. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mo Stone.Mo Stone felt a vibration in her hand when she was holding her phone. Then, she glanced at it

    “Yeah, something came up with my family, so they got delayed. They just brought me my meal,” answered the volunteer.Luca glanced at his food, which consisted of meat and vegetables. It was clear that his family treated him very well.“That’s quite a feast,” remarked Luca.“Heh, they know I need the nutrition, so they always give me this much. Ms. Craw, have you eaten yet?” the volunteer asked cheerfully. Now that his health was improving, his appetite had returned, and his mood was much better too.“I have. You should eat more. I just came in to check how much IV fluid is left. There’s still quite a bit, so I think it won't be done before the guys are done eating," replied Luca.The volunteer chuckled. “They eat fast. You guys are amazing, taking such good care of me. I haven’t suffered at all since being here.”“Your recovery is our biggest wish,” replied Luca.“Mm, I’ll definitely cooperate with the treatment,” replied the volunteer.“Alright, I’ll get back to work.

    Abel's hand paused for a moment before he continued stroking her eyelids.“What’s wrong?” His voice was eerily low, carrying a chilling edge.Hera could not see his expression, but just the sound of his voice was enough to send shivers down her spine.“Thank you.” Hera forced herself to smile, summoning what little courage she had.“No need for thanks. Just be good from now on.” Abel’s fingers continued their slow, deliberate caress. It was like he was handling a priceless treasure.Hera remained still, letting him touch her without protest. More than anything, she did not dare to speak. She was terrified that if she broke the moment and interrupted whatever was going through his mind, he would be displeased.At that moment, Luca brought the food to the table and asked, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Sanchez, lunch is ready. Would you prefer to eat here or in your room?”“I’ll go with whatever my baby wants.” Hera smiled sweetly, masking her fear behind a bright smile. For some reason, she ha

    “I’m just making plans with a friend. No need to go into all that, right?” As Luca said, she lifted her gaze to meet Shanks.His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and in that split second of eye contact, she felt like she was being pulled in. She suddenly felt like she had just exposed herself.Awkwardly, she cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Shanks, I’ll head downstairs to make lunch.”Shanks did not call her out on it, nor did he press further. He simply returned to his experiment.Downstairs, Luca saw Abel sitting on the living room couch. Ignoring him was not an option.Luca greeted him politely, “Mr. Abel.”Abel took a slow drag from his cigar, his blue eyes scanning her from head to toe. He was deep in thought.He remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. His dark and brooding expression sent a chill down Luca’s spine. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.Gerald was already inside.When he saw her, he mouthed, “You’re here?”Luc

    If Shanks’ prescription could help Hera sleep earlier, that would not be a bad thing.“Then I need to be treat…” Hera paused for a moment, realizing she could not say the word treatment. That would imply she was sick, and she could not let people know that. Instead, she corrected herself and asked, “How long will I need to take this herbal medicine?”“You can stop when your test results are back to normal,” replied Luca as she picked up the medical waste and headed out of the room.Gerald followed closely behind and asked with curiosity, “Ms. Craw, how long is that?”“How long is a standard treatment cycle?” Luca asked in return.Gerald pondered for a moment. “Usually about a month?”“The average endocrine cycle for women is three months, so the minimum duration for proper regulation is three months,” explained Luca.Although Abel could take action at any time, there was no way Hera could endure three full months of treatment. However, until Abel made his move, she would have

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 3450 Brush Off The Slap

    Luca’s head was slightly tilted, her cheek burning with pain.Abel had not held back at all. The force of his slap was merciless. A numbness spread across her face at an alarming speed.From the next room, someone peeked out again and asked in a low voice, “You okay?”“I’m fine.” Luca’s expression remained calm. This kind of injury was nothing to her.Back on the Island of Despair, she had endured far worse during training. She survived, did she not?Without another word, Luca pushed open the lab door and stepped inside.The man watching shook his head. Her face was already that swollen, and she still said she was fine… What a tough woman. She took a slap that hard and brushed it off like it was nothing.Shanks lifted his head when he heard the door open. When he saw it was Luca and noticed how swollen the side of her face was, his brows furrowed.“Abel did this?”“Who else?” Luca let out a bitter laugh, only to wince as the movement tugged at the pain. She sucked in a sharp b

    “No.” Shanks’ tone was cold and firm with no trace of hesitation.Abel still looked doubtful.Shanks added, “Would you like to see her medical report?”Abel was startled for a moment. How did Shanks know he had been thinking about that report?Now that Shanks brought it up, the idea lost its appeal.Abel shook his head. “Even if you showed it to me, I wouldn’t understand it. Shanks, Kassy’s life is in your hands. If you can give her a second chance, I’ll provide as much research funding as you need."Shanks remained silent. He could save Kassy. In fact, his research had always been for Kassy.However, he did not expect Abel to be so ruthless as to insist on using a living person as a donor for Kassy. That was something he could not accept.Kassy’s condition could be treated with organs from a brain-dead patient. Why destroy a perfectly healthy life?Shanks was not acting out of mercy. He simply refused to go against his medical ethics.He was not someone who had to save lives

    “You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f

    Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh

    “There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop
