Percy noticed that the manager looked anxious and dared not to take the credit card from him. He frowned and repeated again, "The bill, please!""Yes, sir!" The manager had no choice but to take Percy's credit card. "A moment, please."After taking Percy's card, the manager walked out of the private room, signaled to the waitress, and instructed her in a low voice, "Go check the women's restroom and see what happened to the mirrors!""The mirrors?" The waitress was puzzled. What could be wrong with the mirrors?"Just go and check," the manager instructed firmly."Yes." The waitress dared not to delay any longer. She practically jogged over, heading to the women's restroom.As she pushed the door open, she looked at the sink area. When she saw the mirrors, she could not help but be surprised.The perfectly fine mirrors had been smashed to pieces!The waitress quickly glanced around. There were no tools around that could have smashed the mirrors, and there was no bloodstain aroun

"I love them!" Tommy immediately shook his head. He enjoyed everything Luca made!He did not expect their father to suggest something so ordinary to eat."As long as she makes it, I'll love it," said Luke.Tommy nodded and then heard his brother remind him, "Daddy is just worried about Ms. Luca. He doesn't want her to be too tired."Luke threw him a glance of appreciation.It made sense that the eldest son was the smartest. Luke had not said anything, but Lanie could understand his intentions. Whether it was barbecue or tacos, even if Aunt Neile were to help, Luca would be busy. Hence, Luca suggested having a simple meal, which would make it much easier for Luca."Are we doing something wrong, then..." Tommy thought to himself. There were three meals, and their mother would probably have to prepare for a long time...He did not want to make his mother tired either. The kids began to reflect on whether they should not have been so noisy just now and whether they should not have

No matter who it was, nobody would dare to offend a doctor.However, Pierre was different. He felt that he did not need Johann's help with treatment now. Moreover, without the help of Luca, he would find it difficult to stand up normally. He just decided to go for it, and he did not care anymore.Johann loosened his clenched fist. If he could, he really wanted to punch him in the face!However, he could not do that because he was a doctor. No matter how capable a doctor he was, if he laid hands on a patient, his career in A City would be over.Johann took a deep breath, pulled a chair over, and sat down. As the rage in his eyes dissipated, he looked at Pierre again. This time, his gaze contained a hint of mockery."Mr. Pierre, how important do you think your reputation is, anyway?" asked Johann.Pierre noticed Johann’s tone had changed, and he could not help but wonder if this was some kind of magic trick? How could his emotions shift so easily?"I just want you to ask Luca, tha

"Blue Coast Restaurant?" Mo Stone was startled for a moment. She thought she had misheard. "You mean the one that's all over the internet?""Yes." Rhett nodded, observing Mo's reaction with some curiosity. He then asked, "What's the matter?""Nothing, I was just curious. That restaurant is quite expensive. How much did Dr. Craw give you guys?" Mo tested the waters and asked, thinking that even an ordinary meal there would cost several thousand dollars..."Revealing that might not be the best idea,” replied Rhett. There were other research team members in the office, and revealing the amount might make them feel a little sour about it.He understood this aspect of workplace dynamics well. Not every research professor was as generous as Luca. Having a high income was one thing, but being generous was something else.If the other professors could not be as generous as Luca, then Luca would become the exception.Such exceptions were not always welcomed in the workplace. Rhett did n

"Great!" When the three kids returned, Aunt Neile served them some fruits, so they were not hungry now.Suddenly, Luca remembered the cartoons she had downloaded earlier and said, "I'll play the cartoons I downloaded. Didn't you miss some of it the day I came back? I downloaded the episode."Then, Luca played it on the TV screen.Tommy cheered, "Ms. Luca, you're awesome!""I originally planned to let you watch it on the weekend, but since you've finished your homework so early today, you can catch up now." Luca put her phone down and started to check their homework.These days were peaceful. She spent her evenings with the kids while waiting for Luke to come back. She found these days quite fulfilling.However, she also knew that this tranquility could be shattered at any moment by Abel. That was why she cherished these moments even more.Luca's smile faded slightly at the thought of Abel.Who knew how long this peace would last..."Ms. Luca, what's wrong?" Rainie was sitting
