Queenie waited until after the maid finished dividing Leia’s medicine to call Jack. She decided to tell him about her decision.Although it was a Saturday, Jack still had to work overtime.She had to tell him in advance that Leia was coming home to stay for the night so that he would not put on a long face after realizing that Leia was there when he returned.People tended to be sensitive when they were sick. Leia’s condition was already bad to begin with, and now Jack’s blood pressure was not looking too good either. Hence, she did not want to see the father and daughter quarrel.Queenie waited for quite some time, but Jack did not pick up.Then, she recalled that Jack mentioned that he had a meeting to attend today before he left.Queenie guessed that Jack was in the meeting right now and his phone was muted, which was why he could not answer.Therefore, she left him a short message. By the time the message was sent, the maid finished packing two days’ worth of medicine for Le
After listening to what he had to say, Luca still could not comprehend why Matysh was so desperate for her.There were many better-looking women out there with nicer bodies than her, yet he still wasted so much time and effort on her.Luke had to be on guard at all times to prevent him from getting his hands on her, and the same went for her. She had to be on alert every time she went out in case she fell into Matysh’s hands.The scariest part was that she had no idea when Matysh would make a move.“Maybe they’ll make a move tomorrow,” Luke guessed as Matysh was not the type to be patient.According to Matysh, Luca was the only woman he could not get his hands on even after plotting for so long.Luke had a gloomy look on his face. Luca was his.She was his woman, so there was no way he would let him have her.“So, tomorrow…” Luca frowned. If he was going to make a move, should she go or not?If she decided not to go, hiding in the mansion was not the way to go either as she st
“In that case, we should have a nice meal tomorrow. We can’t slight Luca,” said Jack.He favored Luca, but Queenie thought that he was nice to Luca in Leia’s interest.“I know. Don’t worry about it. I’ve informed the supermarket regarding the ingredients. They’ll send someone over first thing in the morning, and I’ve asked for the freshest,” said Queenie. The supermarket near their place had a delivery service, so it was convenient for them.“Okay, send Leia back after the meal,” said Jack as he picked up his briefcase.“Oh, okay.” Queenie’s heart ached upon seeing how Jack was unwilling to let Leia stay.She was then reminded of the old days.When Leia was a popular celebrity, they would look forward to Leia coming back to have a meal with them during the New Year holidays.At that time, Jack thought highly of Leia. Even though he did not like the idea of her entering the entertainment industry, he still silently supported her from afar.However, it seemed like Jack really hat
After Rain ended the conversation, Warren asked all of a sudden, “Ms. Rain, are you nervous?”Rain was caught off guard, so she just blinked. “Nervous about what?”“I’ve been working with you and Mr. Gale for so long, and it’s the first time where my mission is to protect someone, so I’m a little nervous,” said Warren.When he was driving Luca to places, all he had to do was check his surroundings, so he was not nervous about it at all.Now, the situation was different. The meeting last night made him anxious about what could go wrong and potentially put Luca’s life in danger.Although he had good driving skills, he was still nervous about protecting the woman Luke cared about most.Rain shook her head and leaned forward to pat his shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Believe in yourself. Your driving skills are the best on our team. Just drive like you normally do and leave the rest to us.”Warren nodded, and he seemed to calm down a little after Rain reassured him.“By the way, do yo
When Queenie ended the call, Leia was eager to know what she said. “Mom, is she coming?”“She’s almost here,” said Queenie. Then, she proceeded to frown and nag at her when she recalled what Leia said earlier. “Leia, you shouldn’t say the things you said just now in front of her. You’re asking someone for a favor right now, so don’t say those things.”They had been waiting in the living room for some time, but Luca had yet to arrive, so Leia began to suspect that Luca made an empty promise to Queenie.Thus, she kept badmouthing Luca.Finally, Queenie had to call Luca to confirm after Leia urged her to.Leia grunted and criticized her, “How pretentious of her. Do you really think she wants to help me? She’s just doing it to please you and dad because it might be beneficial to her in the future.” Queenie went pale and looked toward the stairway. Fortunately, Jack was not coming downstairs. He would have thrown a fit if he heard that come out of her mouth.Ever since Luca saved he
"Are you here to wait for Ms. Craw too?" the maid smiled and said. She glanced at the time and presumed that Luca should be arriving soon.Leia did not respond to her and just stomped her feet on the side. She then took out her phone and called Mandy, "I've opened the backdoor. It's covered but not locked. Make sure the men pretend to hurt me when they come in. I don't want Luke to suspect anything after he sees the surveillance footage.""Will do," Mandy replied."Also, come in only after I send you some numbers. I’ll connect to the surveillance system at home and delete the footage of me opening the door," Leia said. She was familiar with doing this sort of thing because of Wayne Blatt."You’re asking for so much but okay." Mandy could not help but complain.Leia lowered her gaze and deleted all of their chats. After that, she glanced at the time before she exhaled hot air and complained, "Why is she taking so long?""It’s a Sunday. There might be a traffic jam on the road."
"Luca?" Queenie hurriedly stood up and looked at Leia reproachfully. She did not expect Leia to make trouble at such a time.Luca was about to leave, but she paused and eventually turned around to say, "Mrs. Norman, I'm sorry. Ms. Norman doesn't have any trust in me, so I think she should go to the doctors in the hospital. After all, they’re registered professionals with the license to practice."Leia watched her leave and hurriedly called out to her, "Stop! Who told you to leave?"Jack also stood up and said loudly, "I told her to.""Dear!" Queenie looked at him quickly. She expected him to say something to help with the situation or force Leia to apologize.However, she did not expect that he would support Luca leaving."Luca is right." Jack walked up to Luca. He could not bear to see his biological daughter being bullied by Leia.Leia was the one who needed help, yet her ridicule and suspicion made it uncomfortable for anyone to listen to her."Come on, Luca. I'll send you h
Leia's voice caught the leader's attention once more.He looked at Queenie and noticed the phone on the coffee table. The man walked over quickly, smashed the phone on the ground, and stepped on it with his foot before he slapped Queenie. "B*tch, you want to call the police?""Ah!" Queenie did not expect that they would notice. She shouted from the shock.Jack quickly got between the man and Queenie, so the slap landed on his head. The man snorted coldly and pushed him away.Jack fell to the ground in pain."Ah, dear! Dear, are you alright?" Queenie also fell to the ground in shock and wanted to climb over to check on Jack, but she lost all strength.Leia hid behind the sofa and smiled slightly when she saw how miserable the couple was. She looked toward Luca but could not see how Luca was doing because she was squatting.There were bursts of fighting. Although they were all men's voices, Leia believed that Luca could never beat 10 people on her own no matter how strong she was!
