"We can't interfere with other people's business. Let's focus on our work," said Luca as she tucked away her phone and continued with her experiment.At present, everything Luke did was to vent her frustrations. She could not retaliate against Karen. It was not because she lacked the ability. It was just that once she took action, it could potentially have significant repercussions. Luke's actions, on the other hand, could mitigate those repercussions and avoid conflict between the Crawford and Mallory families.Luca thought that she indeed had the capability, but her abilities still did not match Luke's. She did not necessarily have to surpass Luke, but sometimes, she needed various abilities to protect herself and her children while supporting Luke.…After Abel got off the plane at A City International Airport, he walked out of the airport and directly got into the car that had been arranged for him. After the driver greeted him, he took him to the hotel.All of this wa
If it were in the past, Abel would also be willing to relax in such entertainment places. After all, there was nothing on the Island of Despair, and he did not find those women attractive either. The only time he could relax was when he came out. He could have a drink and enjoy the sight of all kinds of beautiful women. If there was a mutual attraction, he could even take someone back to the hotel to have some fun. However, Abel did not have such thoughts now. He was thinking about his own concerns and the various things at hand."No." He directly refused Hera's suggestion. Hera's eyes flickered. She had no choice but to nod her head and continue, "Then I'll stay at the hotel with you."Abel asked, "Are you keeping up with the updates in A City?""Which aspect are you referring to?" asked Hera."In all aspects," replied Abel.Hera shook her head. She was not a professional, and she only wanted to earn money by relying on men. She was just getting by. Hence, she said, "If
In the afternoon, just before getting off work, Luca received a call from Amur."Amur, what's up?" Luca assumed that Amur called to ask about Abel's matter.According to what Luke said, Abel had already arrived in A City by now.When she entered the laboratory today, she did not put her phone on silent. She was afraid that she might miss Abel's call because she had a feeling that Abel would definitely cause trouble for her. However, unexpectedly, Abel did not cause any trouble..."Abel has arrived in A City. He came alone. No one from X City followed him. Did he contact you?" asked Amur. Knowing that Abel would come to A City, he had been waiting at the airport in the afternoon, only to find out that Abel did not go to the base but to the hotel. After he entered the hotel, he did not come out, nor did he contact Amur. Therefore, Amur was worried that Abel came here this time to cause trouble for Luca. He reckoned Luca was about to get off work, and that was why he called her.
"I missed you, so I came to pick you up,” Percy said sweet nothings without hesitation despite being surrounded by employees from Brilliant. He did not feel embarrassed at all.He pressed the elevator button, and the doors slowly opened.Percy and Nina entered the elevator together.Nina looked at the people standing outside the elevator doors and asked, "Aren't you guys coming in?""Ms. Langdon, we wouldn’t want to be a third wheel. We’ll catch the next one." The employees chuckled and waved.Nin’s face slightly reddened. Since no one entered, the elevator doors slowly closed and descended.One of the Brilliant employees could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Langdon and her fiancé have such a good relationship.""Fiancé? They're legally recognized as a married couple now. It’s just that they just haven't had the wedding ceremony yet. Besides, haven't we already received the wedding invitations?" another employee corrected her."Come on, it was just a slip of the tongue. They’re suc
After the two had their dinner, Nina thought Percy was heading home, but she realized the car was not heading in that direction. Hence, she got curious and asked, "Where are we going now?""To the hospital," replied Percy."Are you not feeling well?" Nina asked anxiously. She looked at him and noticed that he seemed fine. There were no signs of discomfort. Suddenly, something came into her mind, and she asked, "Are you going to visit Pierre?""Yeah, just to check on him. You don't have to come up. Can you wait for me in the car downstairs for a while?" asked Percy. He had not visited Pierre since he came out of the detention ward. Percy planned to pay him a visit since the hospital was nearby.However, when Percy heard Nina’s tone a moment ago, he hesitated and intended to ask for her opinion."If you don't want to go to the hospital, we can go home.” It would be the same if he went later.Nina shook her head and replied, "No need. Just go, but I won't go up. I'll wait for you
"Call the police? Sure, but I don't know if Jean’s case has been closed. But with just 10,000 or 20,000 dollars involved, the police definitely won't take it seriously. That's why they haven't come looking for you since you left. After all, these are minor cases. "But if you walk right into the station yourself, then who knows what might happen?" Nina said. "If you decide to call the police, go ahead and do it. I'm curious to see if the police will accuse me of."After that, Nina sized Marie up from head to toe. Despite the scorching weather, Marie was wearing long sleeves. There might be something wrong with her arms. Nina heard that the illness could cause growths on the skin. If someone had some medical knowledge, they could easily figure out what was going on.Marie's expression darkened. Naturally, she dared not to report to the police. What would she report? Nina's defamation? Yet, a simple check in the hospital's system would reveal that it was not defamation. Plus,
"Are you not going to say a word?" Karen really wanted to force Nina to admit that Percy was causing trouble for Pierre. However, Nina unexpectedly remained silent. Suddenly, Karen recalled what happened a few days ago. Karen wanted to cause trouble for Nina while Percy was away on a business trip. However, her subordinate informed her that Nina had moved into Luke’s place. If she wanted to trouble Nina, she had to go to Luke's place. She did not do that, or rather, she dared not to. Nina saw the gloomy expression on Karen’s face and she knew she had to be thinking about something. Thus, she replied, "I'm just here to buy some fruits. If you don't believe me, there's a bag of fruits in my trunk, and the bag is from the fruit shop near the hospital. Would you like to take a look?" Karen could not be bothered to look. She wanted to slap Nina, but they were at a hospital. Even though there were no people around, there were cars nearby. Almost all the cars here were equipped
"Honey," Percy walked over and affectionately called out.Nina heard his voice. She lifted her head, let out a sigh of relief, and walked toward him. "Let's go home.""No." Percy shook his head."What's wrong? Do you have something else to do?" Nina had forgotten the lie she told Percy."Weren't you feeling unwell? Let me take you to the emergency room." Percy held her hand, pretending to take her to the emergency room. "If your stomach hurts, don't endure it. Let's go for a check-up first, and then we can go back."Nina became anxious. She did not expect that she would have to see a doctor after telling a lie.However, since the lie had been told, she could not tell him it was just to avoid him meeting his mother, right? She had to continue the fabrication. "I just ate too much. I'll go back and deal with it. There's nothing serious.""Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Percy pretended to furrow his brows with concern. He was just worried about her.This silly woman must hav
