Old Master Crawford was not too worried, even if Luke did not tell him much. He had already reminded
his grandson what to do, and he trusted him to do it well.
After Old Master Crawford left the study, Luke stared at theputer screen for some time before
deciding that he should deal with the important matters first.
He gave Percy a call and asked him to find someone for him.
Luke needed a person who could impersonate voices. That person would use the impostor Bianca’s
voice to call Jack and Queenie.
After Luke received a reply from Percy, he gave the person an audio recording of the impostor Bianca’s
voice and her detailed information.
He sent the mail and continued to work.
There was a reason why he had an audio recording of the impostor Bianca. When they first found her,
he had recorded her voice and contacted a voiceprint expert to verify that the woman was indeed
Bianca Rayne.
The expert could not find anything out. The reason was simple: The impostor Bianca’s vocal cords had
been damaged, and her voice might as well belong to another person. There was nothing the expert
could do with the samples.
Luke gave up after that, though he kept the recording on hisputer. He did not expect that it would
come into use again.
After the expert impersonator received the information, she sent a message to Luke, telling him that
she would study the information and carry out her mission in two days.
Luke was not too worried. After all, that person was Percy’s rmendation.
Meanwhile, Luca returned to the apartment, showered, washed the gown by hand, and hung it on the
clothesline to dry.
She changed into somethingfortable, stuck a medicated ster on her back, sat on the couch, and
looked at the gown on the clothesline.
She did not know if she should return the gown to Queenie.
After what happened earlier in the morning, she was reluctant to face Queenie. Even though nothing
had happened between Luke and her, she could tell that Queenie had misunderstood the situation.
Queenie might be a meek person, but she was very protective of her daughters.
She must believe that Bianca was still overseas, so she was still on her side…
Luca sighed. She returned to A City to carry out Abel’s n, but the n did not involve Queenie.
The only reason she approached Queenie was that she could not bear to watch Queenie suffer. After
treating Queenie, she thought she would stay away from the Normans.
However, she realized that it was not so easy to stay away from someone rted by blood…
Luca could not help but be concerned about Queenie’s condition.
She felt horrible for being stuck in such a predicament. If she had a choice, she would rather return to
the Ind of Despair and live her life in suffering. The ind might be brutal and merciless, but she had
to worry about fewer things there.
While she was still deep in thought, her phone vibrated. The message was a long string of numbers.
She picked up a pen and paper and began to decipher the code. Shepleted the task about fifteen
minutester. In summary, the coded message was a mission, instructing her to steal T Corporation’s
tender for Stillwater International’s project…
Luca frowned. She used the phone to search for information about Stillwater International.
ording to the official website, Stillwater International had a development project in the Maldives. T
Corporation was hoping to coborate with them…
If the coboration was sessful, T Corporation’s international presence would grow greatly.
Luca thought for a while and replied to the message in code, asking who was the person who gave her
the mission.
She suspected that it was not from Abel.
As far as she knew, her mission only involved pharmaceutical research and not property development.
If Abel wanted to bring Luke down, he should have sabotaged T Corporation’s pharmaceutical arm.
Soon, Luca received a short message. After deciphering, the message only said, “Boss.”
Luca gave Abel a call. No one answered.
She knew that Abel was deliberately ignoring her.
Even though the sender of the message did not say who the “Boss” was, Luca knew that Abel was
behind it. Did he change his mind and want to topple T Corporation as soon as possible?
Luca’s mind raced. There could be another possibility. One of T Corporation’s rivals might have paid a
lot of money to steal theirpany secrets.
While lost in thought, she received another message. The other party urged her to ept the mission.
Luca knew that she had no other choice but to ept it.
After sending the message, she continued to research the project using herptop. She wondered if
she could somehow help Luke.
Whoever gave her the mission was deliberately making her life difficult. Luke was distancing himself
from her, and she had no way of essing his top-secret documents.
If she could not finish the mission…
What could Abel possibly do to her? If he summoned her back to the ind, she would have to abort
her main mission.
Luca hoped that the mission failed. Even if what awaited her back at the Ind of Despair was endless
torture, it was better than harming Luke with her own hands.
…
After Luke left with Luca and the children, Queenie received a phone call from the hospital, saying that
Leia’s medical report was ready.
Queenie brought Leia to the hospital.
At the hospital, Leia wanted to step out of the car without wearing a mask. Queenie quickly reminded
her, “Be careful, Leia. Wear your mask.”
Leia rolled her eyes. The mask was stuffy. She was not happy that she had to conceal her identity even
though she was no longer an actress.
However, she relented. She could not risk bumping into someone she knew.
If someone found out about it, Luke would eventually know, and she would be sent away again.
Queenie was relieved that Leia was obedient. She brought her to the doctor.
At the doctor’s office, after the doctor closed the door, he took out Leia’s medical report.
“Here’s the medical report, Mrs. Norman. It doesn’t look too good,” the doctor said frankly.
“Not good? Is there a problem with Leia’s health?” Queenie was shocked. She quickly flipped past the
medical jargon and looked at the conclusion.
There were problems with her liver and kidneys…

“What’s the meaning of this…” Queenie asked.
“Ms. Norman’s liver and kidneys are slowly failing. Her condition might worsen if she doesn’t seek
treatment. I would rmend Ms. Norman to be warded so that we can run aprehensive test and
find the root cause,” the doctor suggested.
