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!
"Yeah." Rain picked up the phone and dialed for the ambulance.Luca still did not let go of the dagger in her hand. She walked toward the direction Leia was hiding.A drop of blood fell with every step she took.Leia was so frightened by Luca’s appearance that she did not dare to breathe. She fell to the ground."I know you let these people in." Luca stood up straight and looked down at her."I don't know these people." Leia frowned. The fear in Leia’s heart was infinitely magnified when she saw that Luca did not seem to feel any pain even though her hand was still dripping blood."You're a savage." Luca did not expect her to be so cruel.‘She shouldn’t do this no matter how much she hates Jack and Queenie. After all, Jack has been covering all of her medical expenses and Queenie has been all hands on deck taking care of her. In return, Leia opted to find someone to hurt them…’Luca felt chills when she thought of how Leia repaid their kindness with vengeance.Leia was unsure
The police chief looked at the handcuffed trespassers and then at the colleagues that Rain spoke of.All of those who invaded the house had bruised noses and swollen eyes. Their faces were injured to certain extents, while Rain's subordinates were not injured at all, at least not on the surface."Would good citizens beat up others so badly?" The police chief did not believe her."They were all armed with daggers and rods. We acted in self-defense," Rain explained while she looked at the stairs.Leia had come downstairs.Rain pointed to the direction of the stairs and said, "That's Mr. Norman's daughter in A City and behind her is the colleague we assigned to protect her."The police chief looked in the direction she was pointing, saw Leia, and nodded.He knew of Leia, naturally.After all, everyone knew of what happened previously. There were still ongoing gossip materials about her on the internet.Therefore, the police chief was familiar with such a ‘superstar.’He looked a
Rain explained it to him since the men were brought into the police cars.After all, in the eyes of these uninformed people, Luke was not single. His wife was abroad.No one knew Luca was Bianca.The police chief was taken aback by what she said. ‘What is this all about?’Rain knew he did not understand the situation, so she said, "The target of these people is Luca. Ms. Craw is our boss' subordinate. He knew that her life was being threatened, so he asked us to protect her.""So that woman is just your boss' employee?" The police chief understood."Mm, I work for Mr. Luke Crawford. Ms. Craw came over today because she was invited by Mr. and Mrs. Norman. We didn't expect those gangsters to dare to make a move here," Rain said.The police chief now fully understood the situation. He nodded and said, "Mm, follow us to the police station to record your statement in person.""Not a problem." Rain nodded in agreement.In the hospital…Jack and Queenie got out of the ambulance, and
Luke hurried over, and before she could speak, he picked up her bandaged hand and had a look.Luca blushed.Luke's outstanding appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people."Mr. Crawford, let's go over there..." Luca pointed to a corner where no one was around.Luke took her hand and walked over with a stern expression on his face."Does it hurt?" They stood in the corner. He did not look too good as he looked at her hand that was tightly bound by gauze."It doesn't hurt anymore," Luca said. Johann's stitching skills were top-notch. There was almost no blood oozing out after the sutures."You took too big of a risk." Luke frowned. Rain had already told him about what happened on the phone.She used herself as bait to keep Jack and Queenie safe."In that situation, I had no other choice. They were coming for me. If something were to wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Norman, I’d..." Luca paused and did not continue to speak.She thought that it was her fault for putting
