"Is that so..." Luca frowned slightly. He still wanted to attend the event even though he was injured.


    "I don''t feelfortable handing the task over to others for important asions as such," Luke said.


    He finished the warm water and put it on the table.


    Luca looked at his cast and said, "But your leg..."


    "Start packing. You''ll be going on a business trip with me," Luke said. Not only was he going, but she


    was going too.


    If he had to go by himself, it was impossible for him to find out who was controlling Luca when he had


    to face so many bidders.


    Luca felt awkward. "I''m going too?"


    "I need someone to take care of me. You''re more attentivepared to Jason. Do you have any


    objections?" Luke asked.


    "No, I''m fine with the arrangement." Luca shook her head. ''Am I allowed to say no? Of course not.''


    Even if the wound on her waist had not healed, she could not say anything. Since Luke asked, she


    could only say yes...


    "Get ready. We''ll leave next week." Luke finished speaking and looked away.


    Luca replied with a hum and walked out of the room.


    The maid had not gotten off work yet. She was cleaning the living room.


    Luca nced at the time and said, “It''s gettingte. You should get off work."


    "I''ll get off work after cleaning this table." The maid looked at her. She thought of Luke''s dangerous


    behavior just now and said, "Ms. Craw, I saw you helping Mr. Crawford upstairs today."


    "Yeah." Luca nodded. She knew what she was going to say. She thought to herself that a maid who


    was as responsible as her was rare.


    "That''s too dangerous. If he wants to go upstairs, you can call me. I can carry him upstairs," the maid


    said.


    "Mr. Crawford wanted to put some private documents in his safe, so that''s why he did that. There


    should be no next time," Luca said. She watched as the maid finished cleaning the table and urged her,


    "The rest can be done tomorrow. Theter it is, the colder it gets.”


    Only if the maid got off work could she confidently go into Luke''s room to get the document. "That''s


    true. I''ll get off work, then." The maid smiled and walked into the kitchen with the rag.


    Luca did not go upstairs immediately. She waited for the maid toe out of the kitchen and leave the


    vi before she slowly went upstairs.


    As she went up the stairs, her legs were shaking.


    Tonight, she was going to do one more thing that would hurt Luke...


    Although she was reluctant, she still reached the top of the stairs. The moment she stepped onto the


    second floor, Luca looked toward the corridor.


    It was a matter that had to be done sooner orter. She could not risk N''s life.


    "Luke, I''m sorry. I’m doing this for our daughter..." After she apologized softly, Luca walked into Luke''s


    bedroom.


    The door opened with a click. At the same time, the surveince screen on Luke''s side also lit up.


    He watched Luca walk toward the safe in silence and with aplicated expression. ‘She’s going after


    the bidding document...’


    Luca walked to the safe. The first was the twistbination lock, where four digits made up the


    passcode. She thought about it, entered her birthday, and it showed an input error...


    It was not her birthday?


    Luca was stunned. Then, she entered her birth year. With a click, the lock was unlocked.


    She pursed her lips. If she guessed correctly, the second password should be her birthday.


    All the passwords set by Luke were rted to her. He cared deeply about her, but now, she had to do


    such a thing...


    Luca did not want to do it, but N was still in Abel''s hands.


    She had no choice but to go for the digital password lock, which was still a four-digit password. She


    entered her birthday and the safe opened without a hitch.


    Luca looked at the contents of the safe. On the topyer were Luke''s valuables, including cash,


    watches, and the essories he sometimes wore.


    The bottomyer was where the item that Abel wanted was ced.


    Luca''s hands trembled when she bent down and reached out to take out the bidding document.


    In the end, she still took it out. Her face was bleak when she looked at the bidding document. She


    closed the safe, feeling extremely guilty. She fled from Luke''s bedroom soon after.


    Luke sat in front of theputer and looked at her figure with his deep-set eyes.


    He opened the drawer and looked at another bidding document. The real bidding document was in his


    hands.


    That copy was just for Luca. No matter who she wanted to give it to, it would not affect him.


    Since he had to prepare two bidding documents and the matter was confidential, only he and Jason


    had worked on the copy. During this time, they were so upied because the workload was heavy.


    Luke did not want Luca to suspect anything, so he could only do so.


    Luca quickly returned to her bedroom and put the bidding document on the dresser.


    Originally, she nned to scan the bidding document, then revise some important points before


    sending it to Abel. However, Abel said that she was not allowed to change anything. If he found out,


    N would suffer.


    Therefore, she gave up scanning the document and chose to use a camera to photograph the contents


    of the document page by page.


    It took Luca about half an hour to photograph the thick stack of documents. She returned to Luke''s


    bedroom, ced the document back in ce, and quickly walked away.


    She did not know that Luke was watching her every move.


    Luca was back in her bedroom. She uploaded the photos from her phone to theputer, then put


    them in the same folder. Finally, with trembling hands, she sent the folder to the designated email


    address.


    Five minutester, Abel called her.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    "I''ve already sent you the bidding document. What else do you want?!" Luca''s tone had a slight


    fluctuation.


    Abel was very happy. The more Luca was like this, the better he felt. ‘Doesn''t she want the best for


    Luke? I’ll make her do something to hurt Luke, then.


    ''Do they want longsting love? Impossible!''


    "I just want topliment you for a job well done," Abel said.


    Luca clenched her fist with one hand and responded, "I don''t need yourpliment. Make sure you


    keep my daughter safe!"


    "That''s right. Kathryn has grown taller. I heard that she’s still thinking about you and wants you toe


    back soon." Abel deliberately talked about N to cause her mood to swing.


    With her daughter on one side and Luke on the other, it was so hard to choose. It was interesting that


    she chose N in the end.


    If it were him and there was Kassy on one side and their child on the other, he would definitely choose


    Kassy.


    They could have another child, but there was only one Kassy...


    Thinking of Kassy who had left him, Abel''s tone darkened once more. She had already passed away.


    "Luca, when do you think I should let youe back?"


    Luca trembled with anger at his words but said nothing.


    She was afraid that he would notice her reaction if she said anything, which would make him even


    more impudent and happy.


    "Heh, it seems that you don''t want toe back for now. That''s fine. Stay by Luke''s side and destroy


    him little by little." Abel''s tone was dark. ‘Since she chose to protect the child, she’s destined to destroy


    Luke. That’s a wonderful choice.’
