In the living room.The three kids sat side by side on the sofa, enjoying their fruits.Rainie turned to look at Tommy, and she asked, “Tommy, Ms. Luca attended your school’s parent-teacher conference today. Did anything happen?”“Yes!” Tommy immediately put down his fork and started to tell his siblings what happened today. “Rainie, Charlie’s parents apologized to us!” "Charlie? Is he the one who fell in front of you, didn't dare to admit it, and blamed you for it?" Lanie knew about the events of yesterday.Tommy seemed to have mentioned Charlie’s name when he told them about it yesterday.“Yes. That’s him! His mother was terrifying yesterday. She looked like she was going to eat Ms. Luca alive. But she chickened out today. She kept on apologizing to us. Daddy sued them, so they came to apologize to keep the dispute out of court,” explained Tommy as he danced with joy.Tommy had behaved himself when he was there at the scene, but he was secretly thrilled.“They aren’t afraid
“Yes,” replied Luke.Susan had refused to move out of Crawford Manor. However, Old Master Crawford said that they were welcome to go back and stay for a few days occasionally. Still, if Susan insisted on staying in Crawford Manor, he would move out.Susan was worried that Old Master Crawford would favor Luke even more after he moved to his place. That was why she eventually agreed to move here with Louis.However, there was a condition.The reason why Susan agreed to move was that it would be convenient for her to help Louis and Yuri to look after Thea. Hence, Susan would move back to Crawford Manor when Thea was having her school holidays. She would move back to Louis’ house when classes started again.Susan did not think it was troublesome, and Old Master Crawford had no comment either.That way, Old Master Crawford could live in peace for a few months.“Is Grandma Susan moving here too?” Tommy could not help but blurt out. He did not expect Susan to organize the housewarming
“I visited Ms. Rayne and Mr. and Mrs. Norman when I went to the hospital to remove the stitches today. They seemed to be in good shape, especially Ms. Rayne. She’s feeling much better compared to the first time she received the chemotherapy treatment. But I think there’s something wrong with her caretaker, so I fired her,” said Luca as she looked down. It reminded her of what happened in Wanda’s wardroom when Luke mentioned Leia.Even though Wanda told her that she would hire another caretaker, Luca thought she should tell Luke about this.After all, it was Luca who took the liberty to fire the caretaker.“If she’s fired then so be it. It doesn’t matter. I can arrange another one for her.” Luke tidied her slightly messy hair.Her hair was messed up when she lay down on the bed.Luca was surprised and she asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me why?”“You’re not the kind of person who would easily fire someone. I trust you. You did it for her own good.” Luke trusted her.Even if Luca
Amur knew he was different from Luca.If he failed to complete his mission, he only had to be punished when he returned to the Island of Despair.However, if Luca failed her mission, she would no longer be useful to Abel. She would be sent back to the Island of Despair at that time. She would be facing a severe punishment that was worse than the punishment given to those who failed their mission.She might end up being a playtoy at the Island of Despair…After all, Abel was a psycho. He would not have mercy on Luca. When the time came, Luca would not be able to protect Nyla, and she would not be able to protect herself either. Amur could not let Luca take such risks.[He’s not killing Pierre?] Luca could not help but feel suspicious. What made Abel change his mind? There was no way he would show mercy. He would not have done that, especially when Pierre had offended him…Amur replied: [No. He only wants to punish him. Let's talk about this later. Wait for my reply.] Luca
A man's face immediately flashed across Pierre's mind. Previously, he got the short end of the stick when he dealt with that man. He became even more alert, and he asked, "Are you one of his men?"Amur did not reply to him. Instead, he toyed with the handkerchief in his hands.Pierre noticed his gesture and knew he was not easy to deal with. He also understood the situation he was in now. Then, he shouted, “Oswald, come in!”“Are you calling the man who’s sleeping like a log?” Amur asked calmly. It reminded him of what Pierre had done to Luca when he saw the terrified look on his face.Amur suddenly wondered if he was letting Pierre off lightly if he took him to Abel just like this.He wanted to take revenge for Luca.“Did you kill him?” asked Pierre. He knew that man’s subordinates were cruel and merciless. It was as though they were from an organization. Hence, he would not be surprised to know that this man had killed Oswald and the others.Pierre wanted to find out the man’s
Oswald yawned. He did not feel like sleeping anymore. He got out of bed and planned to get himself a glass of water to make his throat feel better.When he walked out of the room, he realized the door was left open.“Who the f*ck didn’t close the door last night?” Oswald could not help but scowl when he saw that. Were they not inviting thieves to break into their house if the door was left open?It would be fine if the door was not usually closed, but he had just got what Pierre asked him to get from his office. What should he do if they did not close the door and everything was stolen?Oswald walked toward the door and closed it.However, he was worried thieves had broken into their house. He immediately opened the door of the room beside him.The two of them were sleeping soundly on the bed.Oswald thought it was one of them who did not close the door when they came back last night. He kicked their beds and asked, “Who didn’t close the door last night?”The two men sleeping o
The noises the two of them made pissed Oswald off when he was trying hard to figure out what to do. “Shut the f*ck up!”The two men stopped talking and turned to look at Oswald.Oswald massaged his aching temples and said, “We can’t hide this, but we can’t tell the police either. We should inform the Mallory family.”“Are we really going to tell the Mallory family about this?” One of the men shivered for a moment.It was them who failed to protect Pierre. If the Mallory family blamed them for this, they might give them a hard time. “We have to. Pierre is on the wanted list now, and he was taken away. We can’t hide this from anyone. The Mallory family won’t call the police even if they find out about it. At most, they’ll just scold us,” analyzed Oswald.The two men nodded their heads as they listened.They were not really afraid because the house belonged to Oswald. Pierre was taken away by someone else in this house, and they had nothing to do with it.“Oswald, do you have M
Mr. Bennet already believed what Oswald said was true when they told him about the burglary at Pierre’s office. However, he erred on the side of caution and asked them to tell him more about the details.Oswald looked at him. He hesitated whether or not he should tell Mr. Bennet more about it.If he told Mr. Bennet the burglary he committed in detail, he would be in deep trouble in case Mr. Bennet called the police.Mr. Bennet noticed that Oswald had been quiet. He knew what Oswald was worried about. He said, “Don’t worry. I just want to make sure that you’re telling the truth. If what you said is true, then we know you’re working for Mr. Pierre. We won’t call the police if you’re Mr. Pierre’s men. You only have to tell me the details of the burglary.”“Well, we broke into Mr. Pierre’s office that night, and we stole everything he kept in the safebox—documents, cash, and stuff he kept in the drawers. We were afraid that the police would suspect something was wrong, so we stole so
