"Now you know why I asked you to do this, huh?" Rain rose to her feet with a smile on her face and patted Gale on the shoulder.
It was originally her job, but Leia disgusted her so much that she entrusted Gale with the task instead.
Rain was in charge of some other matters.
Gale shook his head and went upstairs, resigning himself to continue investigating Leia.
They followed Luke's instructions. They had to compile a list of all the bad things Leia had done and show them to Queenie.
Luke and Jack both believed that Queenie should not be soft-hearted toward Leia. It was the best way for her to get to know the
real Leia.
"Ask your subordinates to do it for you if you find it too disgusting," added Rain.
"I'll do it when I can't take it anymore." Gale walked up to the second floor and continued with his work.
Rain returned to the third floor to continue work too.
...
The next day.
It was Saturday. Luca woke up later than usual.
She opened her eyes and habitually looked beside her, but Luke had already gotten up.
Luca was surprised. When did he get up? How did she not notice?
She got up and listened carefully. There was no sound coming from the bathroom. When she was about to get out of bed to
wash up, her phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
Luca answered the call.
"Luca, are you okay?" Nina's voice that came from the other end of the line sounded deeply concerned. She stayed up late last
night, and while she was scrolling through news pages, she saw a viral video on the internet.
Nina clicked the link and found someone maliciously splashing sulfuric acid on the other person in public.
Nina immediately recognized that the person who got attacked was Luca. She wanted to call to check on her.
However, Percy stopped her, claiming that Luca seemed fine in the video and she was probably resting at this time. He advised
her not to call at this time.
Nina thought it made sense and watched the video again. Luca seemed to be unharmed. Thus, she waited until this morning and
assumed that Luca had woken up by now before quickly giving Luca a call.
"I'm fine." Luca got out of bed, put on her slippers, and drew the curtains.
The weather was great.
Luca opened the window. A warm breeze blew across her face. The weather in A City was starting to warm up.
Her heart grew warmer and warmer too.
"I'm glad that you're okay. You were fast enough." Nina let out a sigh of relief. She had been on pins and needles after she saw
the video last night.
After she confirmed that Luca was really okay, she set her worries aside.
"How did you know about this?" Luca asked with curiosity. Luke probably did not tell Percy about this.
"Someone filmed a video and uploaded it to the forum. I recognized you at first glance when I saw the person trying to splash the
sulfuric acid on you," answered Nina.
"It was probably one of the employees working at Watsons who filmed it," murmured Luca as she rubbed her temples. Luke and
she rushed to the hospital with the researcher to treat his wound last night. They were not there to deal with the situation.
She did not expect one of the employees would take out their phone and start filming...
"You're fine. That's all that matters," Nina chuckled. "I'm not keeping you. I'm going to a party with Percy later, and I need to
prepare some gifts."
"Okay. Go ahead," Luca replied before ending the call. Then, she walked into the bathroom to freshen up before changing into
casual home clothes.
As she opened her bedroom door, she noticed that the opposite room door was open. Luke was sitting in front of his computer,
busy working.
"You're awake." Luke shifted his gaze when he heard footsteps and saw her. His eyes softened with affection.
"Yes. Do you need me to get your breakfast up here?" Luca asked as she noticed the pile of documents on his desk. He did not
bring that much with him back home last night.
"Sure. Let me finish these. We'll be heading to Louis' place for lunch," replied Luke. Today was the day Louis moved.
"Okay. I'll check on the kids first." After that, Luca gently pushed open Tommy's bedroom door. The kids were still asleep.
It was Saturday. They had agreed to let the kids sleep an hour longer than usual.
Luca then opened Rainie's and Lanie's bedroom doors. They were not up yet.
Hence, she turned around and headed downstairs.
After she arrived on the first floor, she saw Aunt Neile cleaning the living room.
"Good morning, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile greeted her with a smile when she saw Luca come downstairs.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile." Luca nodded and walked toward the store room.
"What are you looking for?" Aunt Neile asked with curiosity.
"I bought some gifts to congratulate Louis on moving to his new home. I plan to take them out. Mr. Crawford will send them over
at noon," explained Luca. Even though Louis also invited her, Luca was reluctant to go.
Susan would give her a disdainful look if she went there.
"Gifts? Let me help you find them. I tidied the storeroom the other day. I might have moved some of your stuff away," Aunt Neile
said as she followed her into the store room. "Old Master Crawford gave us a lot of goods back then, and the store room was a
bit messy. I tidied everything since I had some free time a few days ago. It's properly organized."
Aunt Neile opened a cabinet and took out a bag. "Ms. Craw, is this the bag you're looking for?"
"Yes. Thank you, Aunt Neile." Luca recognized the packaging and took the bag from her. Then, she asked, "Where did you put
the electrical appliances?"
Luca also bought some electrical appliances as a gift so that they would look more presentable.
"They're here." Aunt Neile lifted the white cloth covering the electrical appliance boxes.
"Alright. Just leave it here for now." Luca put the box next to the electrical appliances.
"Okay." Aunt Neile nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Crawford is working upstairs. Can you please bring his breakfast up later?" asked Luca.
"He's already working at this hour?" Aunt Neile was a little surprised.
"Yes, I'll go make him a cup of coffee." Luca was deeply asleep last night. She did not know what time Luke woke up.
Hence, she was planning to make him a cup of coffee to give him a lift.
Aunt Neile smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford loves the coffee you make for him.”
Luca walked into the kitchen. The maid was almost done preparing the breakfast. She saw Luca walking into the kitchen and
said, "Ms. Craw, breakfast is ready. Would you like to have breakfast now?"
"I'll have it later. Let me make a cup of coffee first." Luca shook her head. The breakfast prepared by the maid was sumptuous.
Luca took the coffee beans out and began to make some coffee.
After Luca finished making the coffee, she placed it on the counter and said to the maid beside her, "Mr. Crawford is working
upstairs. Please bring his breakfast and the coffee upstairs for him."
"Okay, Ms. Craw," replied the maid. She placed the breakfast on the tray, then she placed the cup of coffee Luca made on it and
carried it upstairs.
Luca glanced at the time and said to Aunt Neile, "Aunt Neile, it's getting late. Can you please go upstairs and check if the kids
are awake?"
