“She said that Mother was looking for me.” Yuri did not try to hide it.Louis had a pensive look on his face but immediately went back to greeting guests with a smile when he noticed them walking toward him.Yuri was keeping an eye on Margaret while standing beside Louis.Margaret’s eyes were bloodshot as she stood in the corner without talking to anyone.After a while, Yuri noticed that her expression instantly changed when she glanced at her phone and left in a hurry.Yuri said to Louis, “Mrs. Jackman left.”Louis walked toward the door and saw Margaret leaving before whispering, “Did you tell her?”“What are you talking about? I’ve been with you the entire time, so how could I have talked to her?” Yuri denied.She just wanted to save Margaret some face and not let Luke cause trouble in her house.Besides, this was their new home, and they just moved in today. How could they let the police come over?Louis did not say a word.On the other hand…Luke brought Luca and the c
“Of course, you’re welcome. Have a seat. Do you want tea or juice?” Luca asked. She knew that Nina had trouble sleeping, so she forwent coffee as an option because it was already late in the afternoon.“I’ll have juice,” said Nina.“Alright, one moment. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks I can bring you.” Luca nodded and walked into the kitchen. She had the maid squeeze some juice, while she brought out some snacks to the living room and placed them in front of Nina.“The juice will be done in a bit. Why don’t you try the snacks first?” she said.“Sure, I haven’t had lunch yet, so I’m a bit hungry.” Nina picked up a piece and helped herself.“Why didn’t you have lunch?” Luca asked out of curiosity.Nina swallowed a mouthful of the snacks before taking her time to explain, “I planned to go to Mr. Louis’ house directly so that we could make it for the luncheon, but Percy had an emergency meeting, so we stopped by the Mallory family’s place. The meeting went on fo
She knew them too well.Anna knew how to manage her finances. She would make some investments and keep the money in the bank to earn some interest. That way, it would be enough to support Jean and Anna for the rest of their lives.However, if the money fell into Jean's hands, it would be easily squandered. Even though they had signed an agreement, Jean probably felt that he had the Mallory family backing him up after Nina and Percy announced their marriage to the public. Therefore, he had no idea how to manage his money wisely. Nina knew them too well."Anyway, you’re finally living a new life," exclaimed Luca. It had been so many years, and Nina had been through a lot. "By the way, how’s your wedding preparation?""I'm still going through the details with the wedding planner, but I also plan to take my wedding photos. Oh, and can I have Tommy be my ring bearer?" asked Nina. She had friends who had kids, and she planned to choose either Kari or Teri to be her flower girl. In th
Abel was determined to win this game.It was not just about achieving a crushing victory. He also wanted to win decisively and get everything he wanted. Luca understood that, but she could not help Percy this time. Luca knew that Abel had Pierre locked up in X City. She could easily find Abel's stronghold if she wanted to. However, she would only expose herself if she did that.Luca was relieved when she knew Abel was busy with other things at the moment. He did not have time to interfere with her affairs. She did not want to put herself in the forefront again just because of Pierre. After all, she had her motives. She wanted to spend as much time as possible with Luke and their children. Furthermore, Abel still needed Pierre to get money. He would not kill him.Also, Pierre needed to be taught a lesson. He had done so many evil things and evaded his responsibilities knowing that the Mallory family would back him up. It would be unfair if he was unpunished. Luca would ha
"They’re in A City, just like what Percy said. But with everything looking so good, I've been quite busy lately. There's a big project coming up at Brilliant, and I simply don't have the time to try on the wedding dresses. I can't even pick which dress to wear just by looking at the photos," Nina said in anguish. The wedding planning company had been urging her to come in and try on the dresses. The wedding dresses were expensive and not easy to move around. On top of that, the makeup was quite complicated, so she had to go to the wedding studio to try on the dresses.“Don’t you happen to have some free time today?" Luca smiled."Can you come with me?" Nina blinked her eyes. The dresses had arrived for quite some time, but she had yet to try them on. Aside from being busy, she could not find the time to go there with Percy. Nina did not want to try on the dresses alone, but she had no idea who she should look for to accompany her.Nina had the thought of having Luca accompany her
As Nina's eyes fell upon the beautiful wedding gowns and dinner dresses before her, her gaze brightened with excitement. Micheal, the world-renowned wedding dress designer, had crafted each one to be uniquely stunning. The pieces in front of her were so captivating that she could not shift her gaze away."These are truly amazing," Luca exclaimed in awe as she looked at the dresses and gowns shimmering in the soft light.Yancie noticed that Luca was wearing the latest season's Chanel dress under her coat after she took her coat off. Those who could afford to buy such dresses were usually wealthy. Then, she noticed that Luca was not wearing any jewelry. Therefore, she assumed that Luca was not married yet. Hence, she said, "Miss, feel free to look for us if you decide to get married in the future. Our company collaborates with Micheal. He specializes in wedding dress designs." Luca smiled and remained silent.She married the man she loved in the most beautiful wedding dress.She
When Luca heard Luke mention Mrs. Jackman’s name, she knew that he had looked into her background. "What did the police say?" asked Luca. She could not help but feel a rush of heat through her body as Luke held her tightly in his arms."It’s not a serious situation, so she won't get any severe punishment," Luke told her what the police said. Even though Luke was dissatisfied with the outcome, he had no choice but to let the police handle it since that was how the law worked."Well, this is normal.” Luca understood the laws of A City. If she was willing to reconcile, Margaret would not face any trouble. "Margaret's husband, Lonnie, has a project that he wants to collaborate with T Corporation with. He wants us to provide the design drawings,” Luke continued. "Did it happen?" Luca furrowed her brows as she was worried that Mrs. Jackman's situation would affect their collaboration. "No. The project manager didn’t think highly of that project. Besides, the company has been busy l
“It looks like you’ve taken a turn for the worse after her,” said Luke. The old Gordan was not anything like this. He was always ready to risk it all, yet now he needed help.Gordan jumped and said, “This has nothing to do with that woman!”He paused at the thought of Vivian and ignored the strange feeling in his heart. “It’s because I’m getting older, and they have guns. I even saw them transporting stuff inside. After some thought, it’s possible that it could be things like grenades.”Luke looked at the address on the computer screen and fell silent for quite a while.When Gordan was about to doze off, he heard Luke say, “Have Rain send people to help.”“Rain? Forget it. I’ll just give you a name.” Gordan recalled the person who helped him move last time.“Who?”“Someone called Leroy. He helped you find Pierre last time,” said Gordan. He practically knew every order Luke had given others.Including the fact that Leroy had dropped by Oswald’s place before he went to help him m
