Luca looked at her expression. It seemed like she was not telling a lie. She then pushed the door open and said, “Come on in."
Nina walked into her bedroom and looked at the simplistic design. She nodded her head and turned around to look at Luca. "To
be honest, Luca, will I be a nuisance if I stay here for the night?"
"Not at all. Luca opened the closet and took out a brand new pair of pajamas that she had never worn. "On the contrary, I'll be
reassured if you stay here. I've never worn this set of pajamas before. I'll let you wear it for tonight, alright?"
Nina accepted it and said with a smiling face, "Thanks. But I know that you have a lot on your plate. If not for Percy not being
reassured, I would never have come here to bother you. You don't have to accompany me tonight and just do whatever you need
to do. You just need to leave half the bed to me."
"Alright, since you've said so, then I shall continue with my work," said Luca. She sat on the chair in front of the dressing table
and opened her laptop.
Nina nodded and said, "I'll just make myself comfortable."
"Of course." Luca turned around and smiled. Her gaze then focused back on the screen as she resumed working.
Nina suddenly thought of Percy when she saw the serious look on Luca. 'I'm guessing he's currently frustrated over Madison's
issue.'
All of them seemed to be very busy except for her.
Nina dared not express her feelings to Luca, but she could not help herself. She wanted to know about Madison's condition and
her recovery progress.
The netizens were still cursing her on the internet and things were getting worse.
Nina read the harsh comments the netizens left her and thought to herself. 'If they learn that I was the first to get together with
him, will they still curse me?
'They probably will. In their opinions, Madison is the victim...'
Nina continued scrolling down. Looking at the criticisms, she could confirm that Percy had not hired anyone to suppress the hate
comments. 'What's he up to right now?'
Luca felt that Nina was being way too quiet. She turned around to look and saw her sitting on the sofa while looking at her
phone. "Don't worry. This issue will be over before you even realize it."
Nina lifted her head, and her eyes seemed teary. She would be lying if she said that she was alright. Madison attempted suicide,
and she felt bad about it.
"How do you know that?"
"Because Mr. Mallory is very capable. You shouldn't bother reading those comments. Perhaps by tomorrow, there'll be a drastic
shift in public opinion. Even though Mr. Mallory is very capable, you still got to give him some time to sort it out," Luca said
despite having no idea what Percy was up to. Even at this point, no one had stepped forward to clarify things.
However, she believed that Percy would not just give in to the Johnston family's plans.
Nina could not help but tease, "Are you trying to stand up for him? Say, how much did Percy give you?"
"I'm just trying to comfort you. He didn't give me a penny, but since I comforted you, perhaps you should be the one paying me
instead.” Luca teased back with a smile.
"I have no money, but you can always look for me if you need company.” Nina waved her hand.
"That'd be great, but Mr. Mallory wouldn't approve of that," Luca muttered softly. Seeing that Nina's mood was much better now,
Luca turned around and continued with her work.
Tommy was standing outside of the bedroom, just staring at them.
He heard their conversation and wished to talk to his mother as well.
Luke went upstairs and saw his little son looking just like an abandoned child as he stood outside of Luca's bedroom. It was clear
he was feeling aggrieved. He shook his head helplessly and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you returning to your room,
Tommy?"
"Daddy, I want to go inside. Can I?" Tommy turned around and asked with a pout.
"No. We're not allowed to disturb them tonight." Luke held his hand and sent him back to his bedroom.
Tommy saw Luke closing the door and sighed softly. He said, "She forgot about her son the moment she has company. Boo-
hoo."
The next day.
Luke kept his word to Jack and came to his office.
Coincidentally, Jack was done with his morning meeting. Seeing Luke coming over, he ordered his secretary, "Go brew some tea
and send it to my office. I still have things to settle here. Help me deal with the matters if there's nothing urgent."
"Yes, sir," the secretary answered and turned around to head toward the pantry.
Jack walked over with a smile, but he still appeared quite serious.
"Mr. Norman," Luke greeted. Even though he was in-laws with Jack, he would still greet him formally depending on the occasion
and not as his father-in-law. That way, he would not leave a bad impression of himself.
Jack admired Luke for being meticulous. He nodded and said, "We'll talk inside."
"Alright." Luke followed him into the office.
Jack's secretary came in and served tea, placing the teacups in front of them. Then, she headed out and closed the door.
Jack picked up the cup of tea and said, "Come, take a sip. I hope you won't mind the tea not being as good as the ones in
Crawford Manor.”
"There are so many people who wish to drink this cup of tea but they can't. It's my honor." Luke lifted the teacup and took a few
sips. He was usually busy, and it was the same for Jack. Hence, the moment they placed their cups down, they immediately
started speaking without beating about the bush. "Mr. Norman, what is it that you wish to know. You can just tell me."
Jack stared at him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. It was replaced with a serious expression. "Will you answer
my questions as long as I ask them?"
"There are only us both in this office. I'll answer whatever question you ask me,” Luke said. He did not plan to continue fooling
Jack.
Jack nodded. "I believe you're hiding something from me. But since you've given your word, I've decided to continue believing in
you. Is Bianca overseas?"
"I'm not too sure about her whereabouts before this, but she's currently in the country,” Luke replied. He was indeed unsure
whether Luca, who was really Bianca, was in the country before this. After all, when Luca returned to the country, she underwent
proper procedures.
"What do you mean?!" Jack frowned.
"Throughout these three years, I had been suspecting that the Bianca by my side was an impostor and the impostor had
undergone plastic surgery to look like Bianca. She was then positioned to stay by my side. As for the real Bianca, I think she's
being controlled by an unknown organization behind her.” Realizing that Jack had been suspicious for a long time, Luke revealed
everything.
After all, Jack was not someone easily fooled. If Luke did not say the truth and made Jack even more suspicious, things would
take a turn for the worst.
Luke had a lot of things going on and could not be bothered to keep it a secret from Jack any longer.
"Do you have proof?" Jack listened to what Luke said and did not become immediately suspicious. Even so, he did not choose to
completely believe in his words either.
He recalled that Bianca had lost her memory three years ago and lots of unusual things had happened. However, everything
could be explained by the fact that she lost her memory.
If it was true that she never lost her memory but was another person entirely, then that could explain all those unusual incidents
as well.
