There was a knock on his office door before the police chief could gather his thoughts. "Come in."A policewoman walked in in a hurry looking flustered. "Sir, the suspect is complaining that he’s in pain again. His face is pale and his facial features are distorted. It doesn't look like he’s faking it. Should we send him to the hospital?""Send him over. Contact the hospital to arrange a detention ward." The police chief had a headache.‘He doesn’t appear injured on the surface but is screaming in pain. Could it be an internal injury?’However, the statement that he recorded stated that the man was the commander of the operation. He held Queenie and Luca hostage but did not participate in the fight at all.‘How could he have internal injuries if no one has touched him?’The chief of police was not at ease. After all, the suspect had yet to be convicted. If something went wrong, he would not be able to sit firmly in his position. When the policewoman was about to step out of the o
"Nothing." As he approached her, Luca could not help but take two steps back.Luke took another step forward and narrowed the distance between them.Luca could not resist the charm he exuded, so she could only blush and slowly lower her head. She might be unable to control herself if she continued looking at him. The two walked one after another into the bedroom.Luke stepped forward to hug her, his magnetic hoarse voice whispering in her ear, "If I didn’t have an important meeting later, I’d definitely help you shower.""Huh?" Luca blinked and looked at his white shirt. ‘He wasn’t thinking what I thought he was?‘I misunderstood the situation!’Luca's face turned even redder. All she thought about just now was something that would be inappropriate for children...Clearly, Luke knew what she was thinking about.Luke noticed that her cheeks were getting redder, and all he wanted was to kiss her.However, he knew that if he kissed her, he would not be able to attend the meetin
Luca knew what he meant.Lanie was academically talented, and he had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. That meant he could understand everything the teacher taught in class. Other than that, Lanie felt bored and unchallenged by his current curriculum at school. Luca looked at Lanie’s bookshelf.One of the shelves was specially left to place Lanie’s trophies and certificates. It was already full of rows of trophies and certificates. He participated in both international competitions and national competitions. Luca's child definitely got his high IQ from Luke. It would be a pity for Lanie to not skip grades. Luca had discussed this with Luke before she got kidnapped by the Island of Despair back then.They were talking about whether or not they should let Lanie skip grades if he excelled in his studies in the future and if his teacher suggested they do so too.At that time, Luca thought it was important to keep her kids happy. Hence, she preferred not to let Lanie accel
It was two a.m. Luke ended the international video conference and took a shower in his bedroom’s bathroom. Then, he headed to the master bedroom.It was late at night, and every corner of the villa was silent.Luke gently pushed the bedroom door open. Luca had left the desk lamp turned on for him.The dim light lit up the darkness of the night, washing away all his weariness at that moment. Luke gently got onto the bed and carefully lay down sideways so that he would not press on Luca’s hand. “Mhm, Luke?” Even though Luke had tried his best not to wake her up, Luca still woke up and looked at him drowsily. “It’s me. Go to sleep,” Luke replied in a low voice.Luca subconsciously leaned closer to the heat source and buried her face in Luke’s chest.Luke could feel an uncontrollable desire arousing in him as her soft body leaned closer to him. He remembered those emotions he had been suppressing. Luke slipped his arms around Luca’s waist and asked in a low voice, “Are y
“No, I didn’t!” Rainie heard Lanie, and before Luca could answer him, she walked out of the room carrying her school bag on her back. “Tommy’s the only one who slept in.”“Is Tommy still in bed?” Lanie frowned. As the eldest brother, he was responsible for waking his sister and brother up. However, Rainie and Tommy were usually on time. That was why he did not wake them up today.“He’s up and showering. The two of you head downstairs for breakfast first. Uncle Zander will send you to school after breakfast,” said Luca as she urged them to go downstairs to have breakfast. The kids nodded.Lanie asked caringly when he walked past Luca, “Ms. Luca, is your hand alright?”“I’m fine.” Luca gave a faint smile.Lanie said, “It’s written in books that wounds easily get inflamed on the second day. Remember to head to the hospital if there's inflammation.” “Okay. I’ll pay attention to it.” Luca nodded. The child’s concern warmed her heart. “And don’t get your wound wet,” added Lanie. T
Rainie was wiping her mouth with the napkin. She slightly moved the table and rose to her feet. “Daddy, Ms. Luca, I’ve finished breakfast too.”Tommy realized that he was the last one again. After he stuffed the last bite of pot pie into his mouth and took another two sips of soy milk, he stood up and said, “I’m done too.”“Uncle Zander is waiting outside,” said Luke, telling the kids that they should head to school now that they were done with their breakfast.“Okay. Goodbye, Daddy. Goodbye, Ms. Luca.” After the three kids said goodbye to Luke and Luca, they left the villa.Luca finished her breakfast too. She wiped her mouth, and when she was about to stand up and head to work, she heard Luke saying, “There’ll be a live broadcast during the extraordinary general meeting this time. You can watch it on the internet.” “Sure.” Luca nodded.The only reason she was concerned about Mallory Corporation was because of Nina. Besides, Pierre was also Amur’s target now. If Pierre truly
Luca felt troubled, and she said, “Make a 1000-fold dilution for this sample and place it in another piece of equipment.”“Okay.” Rhett thought it would be better for him to keep quiet when he noticed Luca pulling a long face. He completed everything as he was told.Luca watched the two pieces of equipment that were running. She just had to wait for the results now."Dr. Craw, is there anything else I can help with?" Rhett asked.“No. That’s all,” answered Luca. She noticed there were a few samples on the laboratory table Rhett had chosen just now. Then, she asked, “Are you doing some research too?”“Yes. I’d like to try doing some research before we take up a new project.” Rhett took the gloves off and scratched the back of his head while smiling embarrassingly. His research was not on Luca’s level compared.Even so, Rhett still wanted to give it a try. “Great. Then you’ll be in the lab the entire time, right?” Luca asked again. She glanced at the time. The extraordinary gen
Percy was expressionless when he mentioned his own name.The shareholders could not help but wonder what Percy had in mind when they saw him like that. It did not look like he was getting dismissed at all. To be able to read the proposal out loud in such a calm voice, it was either Percy had a well-thought-out plan that would ensure the proposal would be voted down, or he was giving up his position. The minor shareholders could not figure it out. The major shareholders who owned more shares were even more confused. Old Master Mallory had already informed them in advance, and they had made known their position on this. Some people supported Percy, but most of the shareholders showed respect to Old Master Mallory by supporting Pierre…That was why Percy would definitely lose time. Even so, Percy, who had never lost in any competition, could still keep himself so calm. Was he waiting for a miracle to happen?Everyone was secretly curious about it.After giving his speech, Per
