Luca had never thought of making a big deal out of it.


    Ambrose was wrong, but if the police officers got involved in this, the research she was working on


    could be exposed.


    Luca did not want to get into trouble when she had made it so far.


    Rhett left with the employee termination letter. He had to head to the HR department and let them


    stamp the employee termination letter. Only then did he pass the letter to Ambrose.


    Luca watched Rhett leave from behind. It was none of her business now. Hence, she said, “Tommy,


    let''s go."

    "Alright, Ms. Luca." Tommy heard her and put his exercise book back into his school bag. After he


    zipped his bag, he jumped off the chair and waved to Mo Stone. "Goodbye, Ms. Stone."


    "Bye." Mo Stone smiled and waved back at him.


    Mo Stone touched her face after she watched the two of them leave. She wondered if she looked old.


    Why did Tommy address her in such a formal way?


    Mo Stone could not help but ponder.


    Luca left the office with Tommy. After they got into Warren''s car, Luca asked him to send them home.


    A few minutester, Rhett called her. "Dr. Craw, I''ve already handed the letter to Ambrose."


    "Okay. Did he say anything?" asked Luca.


    "He seemed upset and frustrated," Rhett recalled the expression on Ambrose''s face just now.


    Employees who got fired were usually dispirited, but the way Ambrose looked at him was like he could


    not wait to eat him alive.


    "Okay. I got it," replied Luca.


    "Are you sure he hasn''t analyzed the sample? And he didn''t read the report, right?" Luca pondered for


    a moment and asked worriedly.


    "Yes. I''m sure about that. I heard him showing off to someone else. He said he would put the sample


    into the analysis equipment without anyone knowing it. As for your data report, I only left theb for a


    few seconds before I returned. The report wasn''t out yet at that time," exined Rhett.


    "Alright." Luca pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you. Get off work early and get some rest."


    "Don''t mention it, Dr. Craw. You didn''t me me for not looking after the sample well, and you didn''t


    hold me ountable for this. I''m grateful." Rhett panicked when Luca thanked him.


    Luca could use this as an excuse to kick him out of thepany as well.


    However, she did not do that. She did not me Rhett either. Rhett was grateful for that.


    Now, Luca was even thanking him...


    Rhett felt distraught at once.


    “I need you to keep an eye on my samples in theb after this. Also, tell the HR department that I''ll


    need a new researcher after firing Ambrose." Luca remembered that she should start working on a new


    research project.


    Luca was nning to start the second project when she finished working on the antidote.


    "Alright, Dr. Craw. The HR department has already gotten off work. I''ll send an application to them


    tomorrow morning," promised Rhett.


    "Okay. Get off work early after you''re done with this." Luca ended the call after that.


    Warren could sense something fishy listening to Luca''s conversation on the phone while he drove. He


    asked, "Ms. Luca, did something happen at the office?"


    "It''s nothing. There was something wrong with my employee, but it''s been settled," answered Luca.


    She thought there was no need to let Luke know about Ambrose''s matter.


    It was not such a big deal.


    What mattered the most was that Ambrose did not examine and analyze the sample.


    He had no idea what Luca was working on.


    After Warren drove home, Luca and Tommy got out of the car.


    Tommy held Luca''s hand and walked into the front yard. Then, he asked, "Ms. Luca, does everyone


    have to be punished after doing something wrong?"


    "Yes. That''s how it works in this world. You have to take responsibility after doing something wrong."


    Luca looked at Tommy''s face. The older the child got, the more he looked like Luke.


    "What if it was an ident?" asked Tommy.


    "Then you should be honest. Admit it if you''ve done something wrong and be responsible for it. You''ll


    have to apologize to the person you hurt," answered Luca. She knew Tommy was asking her this


    because of Ambrose''s matter.


    Tommy was not a child who did not know anything. He was able to figure out what happened by


    listening to what they said.


    "Got it. I''m going to be like Daddy and Lanie in the future. I''ll think thrice before doing something, and


    I''ll try my best not to make any mistakes. Also, I''ll take the initiative to admit my mistake if I do


    something wrong!" Tommy nodded.


    He had seen Luca firing her employee today.


    He knew Luca did not like people doing the wrong thing.


    Tommy told himself that he should never be someone Luca hated!


    Luca stroked the child''s head. She smiled and said, "You''re such a good boy. You''re smart too. You


    won''t make any mistakes if you''re careful enough."


    "Ms. Luca, I know I didn''t do anything wrong when Mrs. Tuffey asked me what happened. I didn''t bully


    the girls as Charlie did. I didn''t fight with him either. But Charlie''s mother questioned me and I thought I


    was wrong at that time. I''m d you protected me." Tommy leaned on Luca''s arm, expressing his


    affection.


    "Actually, I''m not the only one protecting you. Your father is also protecting you. He was the one who


    asked Mr. Zac to send thewyer''s letter to Charlie''s parents. Otherwise, today..." Luca paused for a


    moment. She was d that Luke backed her up.


    She thought he was busy dealing with Matysh''s matter. That was why he had no time to deal with


    Charlie''s parents.


    Luca did not expect that he would look into their background and ask Mr. Zac to deliver thewyer''s


    letter to them.


    That was why they did not put her in a difficult situation today.


    “Daddy has always been protecting us. Now, he''s protecting you too,” said Tommy with a smile on his


    face.


    The two of them walked into the house. Lanie and Rainie were already back home since they had


    finished school. They were sitting on the sofa, eating the fruits Aunt Neile cut for them.


    Aunt Neile saw Tommy and Lucae in. She smiled and said, "I was wondering why Young Master


    Tommy didn''te home with Young Master Lanie and Ms. Rainie. It turns out that you went to pick


    him up."


    "Yes. They finished school after the parent-teacher conference ended. I left with Tommy, but something


    came up at the office. I had to return to the office to deal with it. That''s why I came homete.” Luca


    nced at the time. Even though she came homete, fortunately, it did not keep her from anything.


    "I''ve just cut the fruits. Have some. I''m going to prepare tonight''s dinner now." Aunt Neile walked into


    the kitchen after that.


    Luca nced at the fruit tter. They were the kids'' favorite fruits. She reminded them, "Eat your fruits


    and head upstairs to finish your homework."


    "Okay, Ms. Luca," the three kids replied at the same time.


    Luca made her way up the stairs. She brought the sample Ambrose stole from her back home.


    Luca was still worried about it. She nned to ce the sample in the equipment in the vi and see if


    it could analyze it.


    Luca walked into the study. She had told Aunt Neile not to touch this room. Hence, there was ayer of


    dust on the equipment after not using it for a while.


    Ever since Luke said that the employees were allowed to use thepany''sboratory for research


    purposes, she hardly stepped into the study.


    Luca took a few sheets of tissue paper and wiped the equipment. Then, she sat on the chair and began


    to analyze the sample.
