“I was deep asleep last night. I didn't know you were here." It was after that Luca realized how contradicting her words were.
Then, she said, "I saw the thermos bottle on the coffee table this morning. That's why I know you were here."
Luke did not expose her and continued to eat his breakfast.
After breakfast, Luca still had no idea where he was bringing her to. Hence, she changed into an elegant dress that was not too
casual. She put on light makeup before leaving together with him.
Luke was driving while Luca was listening carefully to the morning news broadcast.
Her expression darkened when she heard the news about Pierre. Obviously, she would not have a pleasant expression on her
face when she heard about Pierre. After all, she could not forgive someone who had hurt her before.
Luke was listening too. The news broadcast was introducing Pierre's company, and some of the experts even predicted that
Pierre's company would have great prospects. It even had better development trends than T Corporation.
He could not be bothered listening to the news. There was no need to care about the nonsense these experts were talking
about.
Luca felt uncomfortable listening to it.
These so-called experts must have taken Pierre's money to have the guts to say something like this. With this broadcast, it
meant that Pierre was going to start a war with Luke.
Luca turned to look at Luke. He looked like he was not listening to the news broadcast at all with that indifferent look on his face.
Did that mean he did not care about Pierre at all?
She knew Luke was capable, and he could choose not to give a damn about Pierre.
However, no one knew what kind of dirty tricks Pierre would use to force Luke to give up that project.
Luca thought she could only wait for Abel to help her take revenge on Pierre.
Luke remained silent while he drove all the way.
Luca watched as the familiar road eventually became unfamiliar. She could not help but ask, "Mr. Crawford, where are you
bringing me?"
"I'm not going to hurt you. Don't worry," replied Luke.
Luca looked at the man's side profile helplessly. She was not afraid that he would hurt her, but being on this unknown road made
her feel a little lost and confused.
It was a terrible feeling.
Half an hour later, they ended up stopping at a detached villa.
Luca glanced at the villa and turned to look at Luke. “This is..."
“The home of my wife's family," Luke answered. He parked the car and unfastened his seatbelt.
"The Norman family?" Luca asked. She had no idea that the Norman family had a villa. It was because Jack had always cared a
lot about his image and behavior. He only had one property under his name, and he would never purchase real estate for
investment purposes even though he had money. That was to prevent people from doubting his integrity.
"It's not the Norman family. It's the Rayne family," answered Luke. When Bianca's impostor was placed beside him, he confirmed
her identity through a DNA test that turned out to be fake. However, Wanda had never believed that the crazy woman was
Bianca.
Although the impostor regained her consciousness after that, Wanda still could not accept the fact and firmly believed that she
was not Bianca.
At that time, Luke believed in the DNA test result without a second thought and had tried persuading Wanda.
However, Wanda just refused to believe it. She refused to see Bianca too. In turn, Old Man Rayne also refused to see Bianca.
That was how the relationship between the two families became distant.
Luke bought a villa in this quiet district to let them stay here comfortably.
Subsequently, Wanda had never contacted him anymore. She even tried to hire a private detective to look for the real Bianca,
but the investigation yielded no results.
Therefore, she left the country with the old man a year ago and settled in Japan.
"The Rayne family?" Luca was surprised. A look of great sorrow flashed across her heart at the thought of her grandfather who
loved her so much.
After she was arranged to return to A City, she had gone to look for Old Man Rayne and Wanda. After knowing that Wanda had
brought Old Man Rayne to Japan, she did not continue her investigation.
It was because she had to inform Abel of every place she went to. If she did not have a reason to head to Japan, he would
definitely find out about it.
Nyla was already in his hands and was her Achilles' heel.
Luca refused to let him know about any more of her weaknesses. Since the old man had gone to Japan to spend the rest of his
days there, she would not disturb him as she knew Wanda would take good care of him.
Luca turned to look at Luke. Old Man Rayne and Wanda were not in the country. Why did he bring her here?
She could not ask questions. Once she voiced out, Luke would know she was aware of Old Man Rayne and Wanda's
whereabouts.
"Yes, my wife's aunt brought the old man back here some time ago. She told me that the old man wasn't used to life in Japan.
His biggest wish was to come back and spend the rest of his days here. That's why they came back here. The reason I brought
you here today is to ask you to help give the old man a health check and see if there's anything he needs to pay attention to,"
answered Luke. Since Luca could not wait to meet the Norman family after she returned, he reckoned that she was missing the
old man who raised her too.
Although he could not expose her identity now, it would be good to bring her to see her loved ones this way.
Luca was excited to know that Old Man Rayne and Wanda had returned.
However, she dared not to express it because once she did, Luke would find out...
"Alright. No problem." Luca sounded relaxed. When she was about to get out of the car, she touched her face.
Luke asked, "What's the matter?"
"Will I startle the old man with the way I look now?" The swelling on her face was still a little serious. It was her first time seeing
her grandfather after three years. She wanted to meet him in her best state even though he did not know she was Bianca.
"No, your face is much better than it was a couple of days before," said Luke. Luca healed faster than the average person.
Others would think that she was just a little plump or she was suffering from edema instead of having been slapped on the face.
Luca looked at the small villa outside the car window. She pondered for a moment before getting out of the car.
Luke brought her here to let her check the old man's health condition. She did not know whether or not she would have another
chance to enter the house if she missed the opportunity this time.
Hence, she had to seize the opportunity.
Luke saw that she was willing to get out of the car, and he followed her. He pushed the car door open and got out of the car.
Both of them stood at the villa's entrance. Then, he pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door was opened.
Luca looked at the door anxiously as it opened slowly. She saw an unfamiliar middle-aged woman.
Luke explained, "This is the maid. And this is Ms. Craw. She's here to see the Old Man Rayne."
He thought it would be tiring for Wanda to take care of the old man alone, so he hired a maid for them.
Although they had no blood ties with Bianca, they were the ones who raised her. He was grateful that they loved her and raised
her, so he took care of them like they were his family.
Luca nodded her head.
The maid smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Crawford and Ms. Luca. Come in."
